Best Disposable Diaper?

[Lucy]

Huggies diapers and Kirkland (Costco) wipes. Pampers smell weird to me . Like powder or something. Don't like the feel of them either. LOVE Huggies.

C2C and Jenboo, how much do you charge extra for providing diapers? I want to offer this but don't know how much to charge...do you charge per diaper used, per day and it averages out? Also, I assume that includes wipes? (Sorry, not trying to hijack the thread)

I use 7th Gen or Earth's Best when we use disposables but we cloth diaper 98% of the time. I like them for many reasons but the lack of perfume is a big perk, I feel they both hold up very well to heavy wetters but neither has a super sticky tab.

I don't charge extra. It's just an included perk.
I use my food program money for it. I usually get $400 a month from the food program. I spend about $200 on food, $80 on diapers (honest company is expensive) and $10 on wipes (I only use pampers wipes-i hate everything else). I collect the honest wipes that come in my shipments and then sell them on fb when I have around 8 packages for $2 each.

The parents love that I include diapers and wipes and it's boo added cost to anyone. Win. Win.

I provide diapers/wipes/sunscreen/etc. I raised my rates to accommodate this 2+ years ago. I charged 5/more/day/kid for all incoming children until I had almost complete turnover. ONE family is still here at the lower rate, but she's long since potty trained.

I don't change/reduce the rate for toilet trained kids. I make significantly more so yes, the cost evens out.

I am going to stick with whatever diaper that is in the kids correct size. Huge kid + little diaper = . This is true no matter what brand it is. :dislike:

Yes, I get that the smaller the size, the more you get for your dollar. Once you add in the extra laundry, carpet cleaning, labor and ruined furniture, you have a better picture of my cost.

***Pet peeve alert*** When your kid arrives in a size 5 and you bring me a pack of size 3.... know I am no longer giving you ANY slack on anything from this day forward. You have been marked.... I am on to you. You have shown me who you are. Grrr....

Steps off soap box..... trots off to mop while the kids are asleep. ::::::

SO true...I always have to tell parents that it is time to move up a size (or 2) in diapers...they are always surprised. Like their kid's poop doesn't squirt up his back at home in his 2 sizes too small diaper.

I can't agree with ANY diaper in the right size. I do product testing-I am currently testing diapers for my 13 month old. Nearly every one has leaked. I think it would be more effective to diaper him in a paper towel. They are not all equal, for sure!

Thank you so much ladies! Y'all are so helpful. happyface

I mentioned the idea to a mom of a 2.5-year-old little boy who is very clearly on the spectrum, yet is not diagnosed, and she didn't seem like she cared. So bizarre to me because I know they struggle to make ends meet. She said, "Well I'm kinda hoping he potty trains soon." I had to say, "Oh honey. He isn't even close and likely won't be for quite awhile."
