My daughter will be 11 months old on the 10th and is just about big enough to move out of size 2 Pampers Swaddlers and on to size 3 diapers. I was thinking about going to Costco and trying either their brand or huggies. Any advice on which is better? My daughter has a very small frame so I need something that will "hug" her like the swaddlers did...some diapers are cut very wide. Thanks.
I don't know about costco diapers I think they are similar to huggies. But have you tried Pampers cruisers? they are thin between the legs and very stretchy. We used them, the velcro is also much stronger than the others so when she discovers she can pull her diaper open she should have a harder time with cruisers, huggies to me has a very weak velcro.
Hi Amanda,
My son has a very thin frame and Huggies worked best for him. :-) I hope you find something that works for you. Geri
You cant pay me enough money to use the costco brand i used to use pampers cruisers but they don't have them there so I started using the huggies and I like them my daughter doesnt have any problems with them
Hi Amanda, we went from Swaddlers to Pampers Cruisers and we love them! They seem to fit as well as the Swaddlers did. My son is now wearing size 4. Hope that helps!
we use huggies and I love them b/c they stretch alot. Good luck
I have always used either Pampers Baby Dry or even Walmarts Whitecloud. The were the best for my kids.
The costco diapers suck. but my son is also very skinny and we have been using the Target brand since he was 8 months old. They are awesome and about 40% cheaper than huggies or pampers.
I used the Kirkland Brand diapers with both of my boys and found that they were very similar to Huggies. I loved them and never had any problems with leakage as I have with other more inexpensive brands such as Luv's or Target diapers. Highly recommended and easy to stock up on!
Amanda, My brother and his wife had boy and girl twins and they used the Swaddlers at first and then moved into the Costco brand after that. He said they were very happy with the Kirkland brand. My son is has been wearing the size 3 Huggies since he was 6 months old and they work great, so I think either will work. I think there is about a $3 or $4 price difference per 224 diapers, so it's not a lot.
Hi there! Well, I've never used the Costco brand, but Huggies work very well. They hug the hinie. My little girl was a preemie, so I always had to get the diapers to hug her tooshie. Huggies worked very well. Good luck!
I used the swaddlers in the beginning and I loved them. Now we use huggies from costco, they aren't as soft as the swaddlers, but I haven't found a diaper that is as soft. I am happy with them, they do the trick and I have tried other brands and haven't been happy with them. I haven't tried the costco brand either though, but they are usually a good brand in everything else. Good luck.

Hi Amanda
We have used every brand of diapers out there. The costco brand did ok but with the price difference so little between huggies and costco brands we have always gone w/ huggies. I also have a very small/thin son and have not had problems with the huggies. I have been told however that swaddlers go up to size 4 but cannot find them anywhere. My daughter needs them to not explode but she is chunky. :)
I have an 18 month old little girl who has been in size 3 diapers forever! She's really long and lean -
Here's what I've been doing - I buy the el cheapo bargain diapers - I've used the Comforts brand from Fry's and the generic brand from Albertson's (they're exactly the same)and Luv's. I use those during the day, because frankly, they aren't that great. I stick with the Pampers or Huggies at night, because the cheapies leak in the front and my baby ends up soaked in the morning. I know it's a pain to buy two diffent brands, but I just buy the smaller packs of the expensive diapers and they last at least a month since I only use one a day.
we have been a pampers family from day 1! i worked in a daycare before my son was born, so i have experienced every diaper on the market and pampers have always been my favorite. huggies are okay and the kirkland (costco brand) are almost identical to huggies, but i would absolutely stay away from luvs. they are not stretchy AT ALL and we had problems with the tabs ripping off while we were trying to get the diaper on. we switched from the cruisers to pamper's baby dry with my son and have been COMPLETELY happy! they cost less and are almost the exact same.
happy diaper shopping! : )
hi there i get the sams club brand which seems smaller then regular diapers, cause i always have to get a least a size bigger then my sons size. so im sure they will work for your daughter
Hey Amanda,
I will highly recommend Huggies. My 8 year old wore them, and now my 14 month old wears them. My sister has had her kids in the Pampers and they always hang on them like they have a full load. I've never had that with the Huggies and both of my children are petite, too. I've heard good things about the Costco brand, too, but I still stick with the Huggies that I purchase at Costco. Good luck.
My oldest daughter was in the 10th% and my youngest is in the 5%. I used Pampers Cruisers after using swaddlers. I have Huggies once in awhile and I never tried Costco brand. I guess I have also stuck with Pampers and have had no problems.-Good Luck!
Stay with the Pampers brand - Cruisers are the best. That is what both my girls wear/wore and they are perfect. Yes we did try other brands, store and name but Pampers Cruiser work the best. We didn't much care for the Pampers Baby Dry because we thought they had a funny smell and didn't hug the bum as well as the Cruisers. Good Luck

My daughter used to leak because of her teeny legs - I used Cruisers. They worked great.
