    The Diapers I Provide Just Got Harder To Get, Suggestions For A New Brand?

    I have 7 full timers and 1 Pt in diapers. I need a brand that is both affordable and holds up well, cheap isn't cheap if it leaks. If you provide diapers what brand do you use?

    I don't provide but put both my girls in Kirkland and recommend them to my families.

      Why do you provide diapers? Is that something that makes you stand out as a provider? Do you charge more than other providers to cover the cost?

          I don't provide diapers here either or wipes...although I have some on hand anyway for my own personal use. I've noticed that the target brand is really good and cheap too. Try checking that out. One of my parents have been using that brand for 2 yrs now. I haven't had any problems with them.

            You provide diapers? WOW!!! That is awesome. How much extra do you charge per month?

              I used to use Pampers for my ds and then decided to try Target brand and love them! They are so much cheaper but so good at holding in the copious amounts of urine my son produces. Yhey run small so buy one size up.

                Target dipes all the way.

                I haven't necessarily found that they run small. My DS is in size 3 and he's a chunky-butt 6 month old...is that unusual?
                Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!

                  they are the cheapest here for the best quality and they run a size small.

                      thanks for the suggestions sounds like I will try target then the Kirkland if those don't work out. Providing diapers does make me stand out and honestly it is a small additional charge to the parents. My old diapers were around 20 cents a piece and parents were willing to gladly pay my rates which are around 5-10 a week higher than others in my area. It might be because of the diapers but I like to think that my program in general plays a role in that too.

                      Growing up my mother did childcare and I remember that some kids parents would forget to bring diapers or ration them for the month asking my mom not change as often. I don't want to have to deal with that. Buying my own means I always know they have diapers and I am free to change as often as I feel they need it without hurting the parents budget.

                        Target- best ones out there and cheapest. The wipes are good too.

                        I have not noticed they run small but I have noticed that the pounds per kid is off. So I guess they do run small. I have always used these and am very happy with them. Your fingers don't push through the wipes and they are not slimy.

                          I love the wipes too. 13 bucks for a box of like 700 some wipes I think? Amazing. I havent bought wipes since September.

                            I have a few families that use the Kroger off-brand. I don't have a package here to check the name - but they're in a yellow package. Super cheap - about $4.99/package and work as well as Pampers:-)

                              LUVS diapers all the way with all 3 of my kids they NEVER leaked and BJS sells a huge box for 27.99. target diapers ****ed for my 3rd child they leaked and was a waste of money that was 2 and half years ago so maybe they improved them.
