Kirkland Brand Diapers from Costco

I love the Costco diapers, my son has been wearing them ever since he was 3monts old, we never have blow outs or leakage. It was suggested to use them by some of my other friends who have babies, and they all love them. You save money and they last you a good while!

We use Kirkland brand diapers and have been really happy with them. When my older daughter was in diapers, we used nothing else from size 3 onward. On the few occasions I had to buy something else, I would buy pampers or huggies, and actually liked them less. I seldom had leaks or blowouts.

With my younger daughter (4 months) we've used the size 1-2s, and I had a lot of blow-outs, but think it's more because early breastmilk poop is just hard to contain... I've had a lot of blowouts with pampers too, which I'm using right now because I didn't want to get a second box in the large quantity again because I didn't think I'd use it before we got into 3s.

So that's my two cents worth - I think they are high quality diapers, definitely on par with Pampers, and possibly better than Huggies, with the added bonus that it's so nice to not be constantly running out of diapers, like you do with the smaller packages you can get elsewhere.

I really like the Costco Kirkland diapers! I find they work great on my little girl. We tried the Safeway brand and were very disappointed. She leaked all the time. She rarely leaks with the Kirkland brand. Go for it. It's a great deal. Sometimes that's all we go to Costco for!

Hi G.,
I had been wondering the exact same thing up until about a month or two ago. I was a loyal Pampers "Swaddlers" fan when my daughter was a newborn, and then when she grew out of those, I switched to Huggies because they seemed to fit her better than the larger Pampers. I was a dedicated Huggies fan, but had tried some Target store brands every once in a while, just to try to save a buck. I, too, was disappointed, and vowed to stick with Huggies til the end. Then I heard a couple friends saying they liked the Kirkland/Costco brand diapers as well, if not better, than the Huggies. I babysit my niece regularly, and she was wearing a Kirkland size 3. I found them to work great. In fact, they seemed even softer than the Huggies, but with just as much absorbancy and leakage protection. I started buying my daughter the Kirkland size 4's, and I love them. I wish I would have experimented sooner, because not only do I like them as much, if not better (for the softness factor), but they don't leave ink on her pajamas, like the Huggies did. I hated those printed characters, cuz the black ink always wore off and stained some of her clothes. So, anyway, now I'm a loyal Kirkland diaper mom!

I just switched to Kirkland diapers last night, and he woke up dry!! I wasnt sure about the switch either since we had been using Pampers ever since he was born. I love Pampers but to try to save money thought we could try Kirkland. My husband says Im Sure he isnt going to care what kind of diapers he's wearing, so we will see how they work. So far so good!!

Good Luck

I used the kirkland diapers for my two younger boys who are now 8 and 9 years old...they had big thighs and kirland brand worked better for them then the huggies believe or not...huggies were a little too tight for them around the thigh area. My oldest son who is now 13 used the huggies...what I'm saying is it depends on how well the diaper fit your little one...think of it this way it's a need not a want...your little one needs it so don't feel bad spending a little more on the diaper. Kirkland brand is also similar to the babies r us brand perhaps you could try those first to see if it'll work for you. Hope this helps.

Hi,
Our family also uses Costco for practically everything. We use Kirkland diapers for both my children (ages 2 and 7 mos), and I actually prefer them over Huggies. You could always return them if you're not satisfied as Costco has a 100% satisfacion return policy.

i've used them. I think they're just as great as huggies.

Kirkland brand diapers work just fine. There almost like huggies supreme diapers. They are better than most store brand diapers.

G. ~ I found that Target brand diapers were GREAT ~ I used them through every step of my son's diaper years (he is 3 now) and preferred them over the more expensive brand names that I tried.

LOVE THEM! Was a Pampers Cruisers girl until I discovered them with my first!

Hi G.,
I had the same thoughts but started using the Kirkland after several friends recommended them. We switched from Pampers to Kirkland with no problems. Check around with your friends and see if anyone uses them and you can hopefully try them out. That is what I did. They would great, much more absorbent than Pampers. I also like Huggies as well. You can find these at Costco as well. You save quite a bit of money.

Hi G.,

My son was a "hard to fit" baby when it came to diapers. He leaked and blew out Huggies and luvs and Seventh Generation, White Cloud and probably some others that I can't remember. The only diaper that ever worked for us after Papmers Swaddlers was Pampers Cruisers and he is still in them. We tried a couple of Kirkland ones from a friend and they were terrible. The bunched up all over the place and leaked after only an hour or so. You could try to find a friend that is using them and ask for a couple to try if you don't want to buy the whole case. And if you buy the case and they don't work then you can donate them to Social Services at your hospital for needy babies. Good luck on your quest. Its a frustrating one at best!

When my son was first born we only used Pampers now I only buy the Kirkland brand from Costco. I find them to be just as good as Huggies but not quite as good as Pampers.

Hope this helps!

they didn't work for us - they didn't fit very well, and they leaked (same thing with Luvs)

I've tried all kinds as well. Nowadays I do tend to stick with Huggies or Pampers though. Kirkland did work well for us for a while, but all of a sudden they just leaked! One thing I'd suggest if you want to go with it still, is get a size bigger than you think you really need. For example, if it says it's for a kid 16-28 lb. , don't wait until the're 28 pounds before switching to the next size! I've noticed that once they're like 20 lb, you can go the next size up--especially at night time or during naps when you can't change them that quickly. (this size up thing, I'd suggest even for the name brands) Hope this helps! Oh, for wipes, I always go with the Kirkland wipes. I just like them the best!

I use the the Costco brand and I like them. As a matter of fact I like them more than Huggies. Huggies, if they get too wet, they'll release those particle things from the diaper and then I have to do extra wiping to get them off of her. I think they're pretty absorbent.

I've been very happy with the Costco brand. A friend had given me her extras -- and they are very similar to Huggies. It's been an easy transition for me. Hope this helps!

Actually, yes you can try them for free. If you go onto Costco.com under the baby section, you can sign up to get a trial pack in the size you request for free. I did it, and they work pretty good. We didn't have any leackage problems, but I did not use them at night, only during the day. Good Luck! ~S.

I am also a Costco shopper and have been for many years. My son is now 14 and we used Costco diapers. I think they are just as good as the name brands. Remember, costco prides itself for giving you name brand quality for less. Also, even if you do buy a box and use 1 or 2 and don't like them, you will be able to return them. Their return policy is wonderful.

Hi G., I was very aprehensive about about the diapers myself as I receive my first box as a gift. Long story short, I like them a lot more than Target brand. I have two girls and the diapers have held up-no leaks or blow outs! They feature the stretch sides and backing for comfort and they don't leave gel residue like Pampers. I really like Luvs but haven't found bulk paks yetM absorbant and light powder scent. My friends reccommend White Cloud fr Walmart but I haven't tried them yet. Hope this helps!

I was annoyed when Costco stopped selling Pampers and started carrying the Kirkland brand. Like you, I was a little apprehensive. I landed up loving the Costco brand! They worked well for my son. They are obviously manufactured by one of the name brand companies. You won't be disappointed.

We are currently using Kirkland diapers. I was also apprehensive about using them, but they've worked out really well, no leaks. They're great for overnight. They beat out Luvs and Safeway brand, which both leaked on us.

I was hesitant at first too, but I have used the Kirkland diapers and they work great! They are comparable to the Huggies Brand diapers. I would recommend buying a box.

We bought huggies for two years at costco because they were not that much cheaper than the kirkland brand. We were at a dinner party and an employee from Papers told us that costco does not carry Pampers because Pampers woule not let them rebrand their diapers. Our new friend told us that kirkland diapers are in fact Huggies Supreme rebranded. We now buy kirland and have found them to be more absorbaant than regualr Huggies. Another trick, instead of buying night diapers buy the next size up.

As mentioned by an earlier post, you can always buy them and if you don't like them you can take them back - you can return ANYthing to Costco. If you don't like something or it doesn't work for you, they will take it back, no questions asked. That said, the Kirkland diapers work as well as the Huggies and actually aren't as stiff and "papery".

Though it's been about 4-5 yrs since I last needed to buy diapers, we did use the Kirkland brand and liked them. But I thought they had discontinued them? They quit selling them, and I was disappointed in having to find a decent replacement. They must be coming back out with them then, and if they are the same as before, I'd say give them a try. I liked them better than Pampers that bunch up in the cotton middle.

I used Kirkland brand diapers in the past, and had much success with them! Right now though I am using Luvs brand diapers and I couldn't be happier! I shop at target more than costco lately and they carry Luvs at Target so that is the reason for the change. They are also much cheaper, and you can always search for a Luvs coupon online. Hope this helps you out!

We are a huge Costco family too. I buy tons from there, but the same thing...I loved Pampers and did not want to short change our son with discount diapers, but my mother bought me a pack and I really like them. I have been using them since and for us they work great. I have the same amount of leaks. No pee, just once a week a bad poo. I think they are well worth the discount.

Hi G.,

I am about to be a Mom for the 1st time any day now, but a lot of my Mom friends tell me great things about the Kirkland diapers.

I notice you live in San Jose, so I looked on Craigslist and they have this add for Kirkland diapers (the size might be one size too big but..this can help save you money)

Hi,

Have you considered going in on a box with other moms? This would allow you to test the diaper out and see if they work well for your daughter. Some brands seemed to work better for girls than boys.

I used the Kirkland brand years ago for my boys and was very happy with them.
