Best Diapers for Girls Size 3 and Up?

That's about the time I switched from the Swaddlers to Target brand diapers. My daughter is now in size 4 and they work great as well as being about 1/2 the price(which you can't beat!)

Hi there A.,
I have 2 daughters....ages 8 and 2. I used Huggies with both of the girls. I used them because there sold them at Costco and they seemed to do the trick. However for the past year or so, I have been using Costco Brand (Kirkland). To tell you the truth....they are cheaper then the Huggies and I like them even more. You should give them a try!! Good luck.

I am having the same problem. We LOVED swaddlers but now my daughter is in size 3, her cruisers are just not working well. I keep going back to the size 2-3 swaddlers because I'm just not happy with the Cruisers. I'm going to try the Pampers Dry (I think that's what they are called) to see if they are any better.

I used the pampers for my daughter. When she started gowing into the next size the pampers leaked. So I went to huggies and I have not had a problem with them. We started with the huggies supreme and now she is in size 4 and in the regular huggies. you can get the best deal at costco. THe kirkland brand are not bad but i still like the huggies and you get more for your money with the huggies.

We went throught the same thing. The diapers I liked the best even better then all of the name brand were the Kirkland (Costco) Brand diapers or the Sam Club's Brand. The others all leaked for us. So we stuck with Costco brand and now my Daughter Emma is 2 1/2 and potty trained. Good Luck!

Hi

I loves the Swaddler too. I now use either Pampers Baby Dry or Cruisers. Huggies did not work for my girls. Didn't fit their bums right. Way to many accidents. Luvs are good on leaks but don't have much stretch around the waist for when they start to move around.
Hope this helps.

Mom of 3 girls myself

I found the same thing that once my daughter started moving around more that Pampers didn't work as well. We used Huggies Supreme up until she was potty trained. They are little more expensive, but the absorbency can't be beat.

huggies all the way i used them for my 4year old little girl and my 2year old little girl and for my 3month old little boy. most of my family have used them and that is 6 boys and 7 girls. Huggies

i've only ever used huggies (besides cloth for a while) for my daughter. never had any issues. she's in size 4 now.

We used Swaddlers too because our triplets were preemies. I loved them and hated to have to move away from them. We tried several brands and Huggies Premium was the best (the burgundy package - I can't remember if "premium" is right). They are contoured, keep them the driest, and never leak! They're great! We've used them ever since and our kids are potty-training now so really, we can't wait to give them up =)

I liked Huggies and Kirkland brand for my daughter. I like the stretchy tabs and lots of padding!

i found that walmarts brand white cloud diapers work great. i actually prefered them over huggies and pampers and they cost less which is always a plus. hope this helps.

As soon as my daughter was in size 3 we switched to Kirkland brand from Costco. I love them (as much as I can possibly love a diaper, that is) and they are a great value. I would suggest giving them a try!

After twins and now a single child, I still swear by LUVS! My daughter was in them till she was four and they fit her and we still had one more size to go if I hadn't lucked out and got her potty trained.

We have used huggies from one year on for both our daughter and son. We also loved the swaddlers but they just didn't seem as good past one year.

Huge Hockey fans here also!!!

I started out with Pampers Swaddlers also and I found as my son grew he did better in Huggies Supreme until size 3, then we switched to regular Huggies. It really depends on your childs body type how the diapers will fit and which brand will work for you. This is what worked for us. Good luck!

Sometimes you can get samples. If you have friends with different brands of the same size you can try out a couple and see if they work well for you.

If you have a Fred Meyer near you, use the Kroger brand diapers. Not only are they a great diaper, they are so inexpensive. I use them almost exclusively, except for the occasional box of Kirkland. I have three kids! Two in diapers.

I like the Safeway brand best. They are cheep and I think they hold up better than even the Kirkland or Huggies, though I do get them on occassion. I have used Pampers only a few times, and a few other brands, but with all of them except the Safeways, I find the little absorbing beads come out and my daughter gets changed more often than most. She is two and in the size 3 right now and they hold up great for all of her activity. Safeway brand has been my favorite in all sizes so far, and the price is good too (144 for only $19.95 on sale)

I found that to be true for me as well. I switched to Huggies and liked those better for my daughter and son. There are others out there. I didn't have much luck with store brands. Just my experience with this.

We used the Swaddlers also for our son. Once he was in size 3, we switched to the Pampers Cruisers and we love them! They are super soft, very absorbent and have the elastic stretchy tabs like the Swaddlers (unlike the Pampers Baby Dry) and they fit him like a glove. We think they work great. They are a little more expensive than the other brands, but if you buy them at Babies R Us when they have their sales, you can usually get the Jumbo sized box for about $31.99 and we buy two at a time and they last forever!

=)

I echo the sentiments of mom's who love the Kirkland (Costco)diapers...they were great quality and a much better price. In fact I had learned that they are made as private label in the same factories as many of the national brands (there are only a handful of diaper factories apparently). Used them continuously from size 3 onward.

I was in the same boat as you. I used the Pampers Swaddlers until my little girl was able to get into a size 2 diaper. I switched to Huggies Supreme because I found that they seemed to fit her alot better around the legs. We are still in the Huggies and I have tried the Pampers on and off (because of coupons) and they never did fit as well. If you sign up on the Huggies website, they will actually send you coupons from time to time. Hope this helps! N.

My Daughter fits best into size 3 Huggies Natural fit!

There are a lot of suggestions on here for Huggies, but on a budget, those arent always an option. With 5 kids, my youngest being 11wks and my oldest being 9, I have found that White Cloud from Walmart works really great for my younger ones. When they hit toddler stages where they are up and running more, the Kirkland diapers fit better for their active days. Both White Cloud and Kirkland diapers works really great with no leak issues, (as long as you are using the right size) and cost much less than Huggies or Pampers. Best of luck to you!

I cannot remember who makes them, but the cruisers are great. They move well with an active baby and in my experience never leaked on me. They come in purple packaging and are pretty price friendly.

I felt the same way!! Then I switched to huggies. I loved them and they sell them at costco so you can get bulk for less. Good luck in your search.

I went on a quest after the birth of my now 5 yr old daughter. I bought a bag of each diaper I could find- Huggies, pampers, luvs, different store brands. I found the best fit and no leaks to be white cloud from walmart. I am now using Kirkland from costco on my 21 month old daugher and they are pretty good- no leaks and good fit.
I did find that the white cloud in WA is different to the ones sold in Texas so I switched. The cruisers have a good fit, but leak.

If you have a COSTCO card, then the Kirkland brand diapers are the EXACT same diaper as the Huggies Supreme at a fraction of the cost. They are awesome and do a great job at controlling the 'blow outs' of the bigger baby. I used the swaddlers for my newborn, then switched over to first Huggies Suprmeme before discovering my bargain find! Also, when you get to the size 4 diaper and she's soaking through at night, my best friend turned me onto the Huggies Overnights (I can only find them at the grocery store...) and they are awesome, no more soaked PJ's in the morning.

We kept dd in Pampers Swaddlers through size 2. We moved up to Cruises for size 3 and they did not wow me like the Swaddlers so we switched over to Huggies Supreme Natural Fit when she started wearing size 4. I was a little hesitant at first because I had tried the normal Huggies in smaller sizes and hated them but the Supreme Natural Fit are fantastic. We've had no problems or nighttime leaking. Good Luck!

I also LOVED swaddlers. I've found that the pampers regular diapers work the best for my daughter. I haven't tried the pampers cruisers (they're pretty expensive) but I've also heard good things about them. The regular pampers feel really squishy to the touch after the first pee cause they pull the liquid away from the skin all the way to the outside so she'll stay very dry...be careful though you may be changing a million diapers a day for the first bit thinking your babe is soaking to only find that she's still dry against her skin :). I also like them because they're very thin so she won't have to waddle around them like some other diapers I tried.

Huggies Supreme, Natural Fit are absolutely the best size 3+ diapers. I have found that Pampers (other than Swaddlers) smell as soon as they become wet. Pampers also have moisture-absorbing beads that can become pretty nasty...

FYI: Huggies seem to run slightly smaller than Pampers.

Good Luck!

Huggies hands down, unless you have a Costco in town then the Kirkland is best for the buck and works very well.

K., mom of 6 and also foster care for little ones.

I used Pampers Swaddlers for my two girls and loved them as well, but I found that as they got a little older Huggies Supreme diapers worked much better. I continued using Huggies Supreme all the way up until potty training and they were great. They are cute too! :)

Hi A.!
I found the same for my daughter. I absolutely LOVED the Swaddlers and used them up through 2-3, but then she started leaking out of them....at around your daughters age actually. My daughter is now almost 8 months. I moved her up to the Cruisers and have been really happy with them. They give her more room in the legs to move around now that she is so active. The Swaddlers were great while she was small, but I have noticed the Cruisers hold her messes a lot better now that she is moving around more....even at night rolling around! I had several sheet changes when she was a size 2-3 in Swaddlers. The Cruisers have been a lot better for this stage in her development. I haven't tried too many less expensive diapers (I tried some early on and liked the Swaddlers better.) so I can't give you a comparison. I have just been so happy with the Cruisers I haven't wanted to switch. I will say this...I actually grieved a little moving her from the Swaddlers though. It meant my baby was growing up! Have a great day! K.

luvs are the best since they finally got stretch sides/tabs.

We have always used pampers when they were little, then about size three we have moved to Costco brand, and have always loved them... altho we have huggles size 6 right now as it's been to hard to get to Costco and they are nice, but the red bag not the white...
I have never like luvs at all in any size, and I don't care for any walmart brand or any other store brand other than Yokes

A.,
I also used to like Pampers but now I only use Huggies. I love them and have never had any problems with them. Also you can get them in the bulk at Costco.

I love Albertson's brand diapers! I read on Consumer Reports' website that they were the best value back before I had my child in 2006. I've used them since my daughter outgrew the newborn diapers. They are cheaper than brand name and I haven't had any problems with them. She's in the size 4 now at 16mo.

We started out with Pampers, but I wish I had known about the NEW types of cloth diapers out there that work so well and are so SIMPLE to use!!! They're NOTHING like the old fashioned cloth diapers! NO pins, NO plastic pants, NO dunking in the toilet. Plus, baby stays drier and we've had much less redness and rash since switching over to this new style of cloth diapers and they feel so much softer than disposables. There are several brands of these new cloth diapers that adjust in size to grow with your baby, so they're very economical over time. (bumgenius is one of the most popular brands) Oh, and they're CUTE as can be!!! I like them so much that I started my own business selling them once I'd tried them. You can check them out and even try one RISK FREE at my site: http://www.SimpleCloth.com Let me know if I can answer any questions or help in any way.

Try moving to the Cruisers by Pampers. They are a little more flexible and you will find they will fit her better. They start at a size 3. We have used them for my daughter and my older son and still love them.

We have a boy, but are in the same boat. I've discovered that I prefer the pampers baby dry instead of the swaddlers at this point. Hope this helps!

my vote is for pampers cruisers!

My sister and I have both adored Kirkland Signature brand for our daughters. (I've heard boys are a different story.) Huggies always leaked for us, but KS held through.

I use Target brand diapers for my 6 month old little girl they are cheap and they work great! I have been using them from day one!

I loved the swaddlers for my baby girl too. When she got older we tried different kinds and I stuck with the pampers cruisers for a while. Now she is a size 4 and I buy LUVS. They are less expensive but we don't usually have leaks. Good luck!

We used Swaddlers from when my daughter was born, but as she got older we started having problems with leaks, etc. We ended up switching to Costco diapers (I think the brand is Kirkland) which we loved and I think we only had one leak ever since we switched. They're a little less $$ than Pampers, too, which is nice.

Hi There,
With 3 kids, I tried a lot of diapers! I found that Huggies Supreme worked well around her legs and actually held everything in! They are very cushy too. These also work great for overnites too, since they are always sold out of size 3 in the "Overnights" (it's very popular). If you want a natural diaper, 7th Generation works well and they are biodegradable which works well on road/camping trips. You don't feel guilty about leaving them out in the woods, because they will just degrade naturally. I use both of these and have had a daughter and two boys, and both these diapers worked great for all 3 of them :-). Good Luck!

I have found that Huggies are great, believe it or not when my youngest daughter (she's 4 now) was a baby, my Mom and I actually tried the water balloon test on several brands, huggies definately worked the best. Also the Huggies
pull-ups are great for the potty training times and also for overnight.

That's exactly what we found!!! Now we use either Costco brand or Huggies (they're about the same price at Costco). We also used Huggies Overnights at night (they're kinda hard to find, we found them at Toys R Us). Good luck!

I am the mother of two wonderfullll girls, 1 and 3. Pampers swaddlers were my absolute favorite as well. I had found as they got bigger Kirkland diapers from Costco are the absoluteeeeee best!!!! I've tried Huggies, Pampers, Luvs and in all shapes and sizes but I keep coming back to the Kirklands. They never leak and believe it or not they dont really stink either. Good Luck 8>)

Kirkland brand at Costco rocks! (size 3)

I have a boy, so it might be different, but we loved the swaddlers until a few weeks ago when they just stopped holding the volume of poop they needed to (major blow outs out the back!). Now we're in size 3 Pampers Baby Dry and we LOVE them. No leaks, no mess. And they absorb a LOT through the night. Good luck.

I actually love the Costco (Kirkland) brand diapers. I've used them since my first daughter moved into a size 2. Now my 2nd daughter is in the size 5's. They have never failed me and you can't beat the price. They are actually way softer than Huggies and I don't have a strong perfumed scent like the Pampers.

Around size 3, we changed to the kirkland brand diapers from costco. They are exactly like huggies supremes. We would only use swaddlers too, but when Avery started getting more active, they just didn't seem to fit as well. I like the kirkland brand because they have an stretch/gathers along the back. And I rarely have leaks since I switched too.
Good luck.

I used Pampers on my son until he was too big for diapers. The Cruisers worked well for him. With my daughter the same is holding true. Many people bought us Huggies, and we'd have to change outfits several times a day because they didn't catch all the mess. That applied to both our son and daughter.

But, every baby is different, and a switch may be good for you. I like the Pampers.

Hope this helps,
Melissa

When we use disposables, we use Pampers Baby Dry. I like them a lot more than the swaddlers and they cost less. We also use G Diapers (the flushable diapers). They are completely free of chlorine and plastic and actually not bad for the environment. They are compostable (not the poopy ones) or you can flush the insert down the toilet (no more diaper pail!) Lately, we've switched to using mostly BumGenius pocket diapers because I hate the thought of throwing all that plastic in a landfill and G's are kind of expensive. Good luck in your hunt for the perfect diaper!

We tried Huggies, Costco, and another brand (can't remember) and actually have found that we love the Costco brand of diapers. You can buy them in a big box and they aren't too expensive. Good Luck!

We used mostly the Costco brand (Kirkland) diapers for our duaghter. Occasionally Huggies, Luvs, or Pampers. She's been in the Costco ones since birth, have had no leaks with them, however, the others (H, L, P) I have had leak problems.
Hope you find the right fit for your little one!

We loved swaddler when my daughter was younger. She's almost 2 and still only about 25 pounds. She's almost potty trained but we use the pampers baby dry (size 4) for overnight. And "g" diapers when we go out and about. Or a wrap over her undies just to be safe. A word about the pamper. We found that the cruisers we're a little bigger than the baby dry. Not sure if this is still the case. But if you have a skinny child something to consider.
