    Maybe you should get your parents to try LUVS. I used them with all 3 of my children never had a leak ever not even at night not even if they had a tummy virus they are also cheaper then huggies and pampers and are not made cheaply like the target and walmart brand. I recommend LUVS to all my daycare parents threw out the years and some switched and loved the cost and the diapers.

      When my DD 11 was born, LUVS still had the plastic outer barrier. I LOVED THEM. They began phasing them off the shelves when she was about 1 year or so. I was so sad when I couldn't find them for DD #2. I used LUVS for all my kids, though, because they were the best for leakage and overnight wear. Someone gave me Huggies and Pampers as a gift once, they ****ed (and still do IMHO). I have tried recommending LUVS to the parents of all babies I have cared for, but so far they have all continued with Huggies or Pampers =(

      I really miss old school diapers. The new ones cause nothing but rashes and extra laundry, .

        You never know what kind of toxic dump waste they are using for the filler.

        I have a TON of packages of diapers in my garage from the mid 2000's on. I bust them out now and then to show the parents the difference of diapers from five/six/seven years ago.

        They all do this:

        I even weighed some of them and measured them to see the progression of the sizing down. A size five diaper now was the size of a size 3 from ten years ago.

            Nope

            It's a marketing ploy
            when they say new and improved it means cheaper materials, smaller, and more expensive.

            It improves THEM

            Just look at the difference in tab size. It's a third what it was ten years ago. They've also taken away the side material and changed it to stretchy non absorbant.

            One thing they had going for them was parents loving the "my kid is SO big". They love that... specially with boys.

            It's a bragging rights to have a newborn in size three diapers now. They think it's cool till they have to buy size four for a six month old. Then it's not so cool anymore.

              when my kids were in diapers, if I bought a pack and more then 2 diapers exploded without being ridiculously full, didn't matter the brand, I would phone and complain. i received many coupons for free packages of diapers, especially walmart brand, they would give you 2 or 3 free packs for even 1 complaint. some companies started being sneaky though, like pampers and send you 5 coupons, $5 off, 3 off, 1 off 1 off 1 off, etc, so you'd have to buy at least 5 packs to use the "replacement" value, but you were still spending more money on them. I just chucked those coupons out, and switched brands.

                Diaper quality and size has bombed but the worst are pullups and overnight pullups.

                They don't even resemble what was available when they first started making them.

                  My own kids are in cloth, aside from the financial and environmental reasons, it really freaks me out to think of all the chemicals in diapers nowadays sitting on a child's genitals for basically 2-3 years straight. Ick.

                  We don't have any in pampers here anymore. When they first started the dry max, I had three in them and ALL THREE had chemical burns requiring medical treatment. Crazy how pampers paid my families for the diapers, the medical care, and for a ton of new non dry max diapers, but they still make them.

                  One of my families is using Costco brand (kirkland?) diapers now and I really like them. They seem to run pretty big though, if you get some you might want to go a size down

                    One of my families uses Costco too and I like them. They don't get too saggy and they do seem sized bigger. I have a almost 2 year old in them but I occasionally use one of her diapers at nap for a 4 year old who has accidents while he's asleep. They fit just fine.

                      For my daughter Huggies just work the best. They aren't the cheapest, but I tried the Great Value brand and it seemed the diaper just couldn't absorb anything. I have never had so many leaks! The main reason I use Huggies is 1. they seem to work better for her body shape, and 2. Huggies is always sending me coupons that are really good!

                      I enjoy reading other peoples thoughts on diapers though! Thanks much!

                          Yes! I've had the tabs break off lately too.

                          And regarding the diapers busting... The other day I try to throw a rolled up pee diaper in a trash across the room and it hit the wall instead and exploded!!! I'm talking nasty diaper crystals EVERYWHERE!!! UGH!!! It was so nasty! It took forever to clean it all up.

                          So just a little advice... Never toss a dirty Pamper! hahaha

                            I bet that is part of my problem. Being bumped.

                            My littles are climbing through tunnels, doing somersaults on the play mats and jumping onto a crib mattress (on the floor) from the climber steps. They love their obstacle course after naptime. :Sunny

                            They also are on teeter totters and foot to floor trikes often.

                            I just don't remember diapers being so fragile.... My program has not changed and I can just about guarantee the kids have not. :confused:

                            I am just so sick and tired of cleaning up "Pee Pellets"!!!

                                I agree with the bursting pampers, I truly don't think I am not changing enough, I find a leak and think, seriously,... How!? It's not very wet. I'm having trouble with the front panel wicking onto clothes for my belly sleepers when the diaper is nowhere near full. Like,.. 1/4 cup of wetness and only wet in the very front. It's almost like they don't spread moisture towards crotch area, just up by the picture band. Then I feel like it appears like I'm not changing often when I change 30-40 a day.
