With my first daughter I tried to use pampers but she kept breaking out in terrible rashes that copious amounts of diaper cream wouldn't even help. So I switched diaper brand and the rashes went away. Fast forward five years to my next daughter and I figured Id give them a try again. Unfortunately the same thing happened so I had to steer clear of this brand again. I totally get that certain brands react differently, and this one just wasn't for us.
I have been using Pampers ever since my daughter was born, I trust the brand and their quality. I use the cruisers line and unfortunly one day, Wal-Mart was out of the size of cruiser that I needed but there where boxes of baby dry, so I thought " what's the diff? Pampers are pampers" Well, I found out that was not the case at all! To make a long story short, my poor daughter ended up having a wicked case of diaper rash and yeast infection. It wasn't until I was able to get another box of cruisers, that the rash went away and every thing cleared up. Never used baby dry again and my daughter hasn't had any issues since.
A few time I had purchased this brand, the straps would rip right off! I live in a small town, there is really only about 3 or 4 places to purchase diapers and it usually ranges about $35 for the big box, sometimes they go on sale for $22-$24 which is pretty good. These have never made my daughter break out and she's only wetted through a hand full of times when she was about 3-5 months old. (She's just turned 1) I have tried the papers cruisers and she instantly broke out all over her bottom. I will stick with the baby dry but they get so saggy and hang between her legs with only one pee or not even wet at all. I might try Huggies.
I received a Variety of different diaper brands as a baby shower gifts. The regular baby dry diapers were the worst, they left tiny gel pieces all over my baby's bottom. Pampers cruisers ( more expensive per diaper) never did this. Don't buy pampers baby dry.
So I was a pamper buyer from size newborn until size 2-3 this was my tried & true the baby dry. In the beginning the were fantastic. Barely any blowout or diaper defects, when I got to size 2-3 I was getting at least one-four defective diapers per box almost every time I bought (no straps to close,only one strap, diapers ripping as I'm putting on). I then tried other types of pampers and didn't like them so switched back to these I then noticed the aweful chemical smell when they were even a little wet & they began leaking even after moving up a size. So sadly pampers won't recieve anymore of my money in the way of diapers anymore !
We always used Huggies with my daughter but now with my son we will use Pampers or Huggies. I find that pampers are working well and I'm glad that we tried them! My son doesn't seem to mind them either! Yahoo!
The scent on these diapers drove me crazy! Too smelly. Bought a large box and when I unpacked them in the nursery- my whole upstairs smelled like them for days after. Thankfully baby didn't have any reaction to scent. However, the scent was the least of my worries- these just felt "flimsy" compared to other diapers I had used. Never had so many blow outs. I was counting down the diapers at the end because I couldn't wait for this stash to be done.
Pampers Baby Dry worked well for keeping baby dry and comfortable. They also were competitively priced. I wasn't very happy with how they smelled though, especially when wet. Probably would only us them if they wee significantly lower price because of the smell factor
They constantly leaked overnight with my son. I had a lot better luck with other brands, if I used Pampers overnight almost every time I woke up to my son drenched in his own pee.
Yes they are cheap, yes they do a good job at protecting baby from leaks but my issue with these diapers are how hard they are. I consider myself thrifty and used to use these diapers on a regular basis and I was always left wondering why my children had such bad diaper rash. So i switched to a softer diaper and their bottoms are less red!
