Diaper Comparison: Pamper’s vs Parent’s Choice vs Luvs

Hey everyone!  It's Liz Puccino from Zero to Five.  With Zero to Five, I am attempting to share a variety of things that have to do with children from birth, until 5 years old.  So look for me on YouTube, Facebook, and Pinterest.  

Today we are going to compare diaper brands!  We will be comparing 3 brands.  Pampers, Parent’s Choice, and Luvs.  Up until my daughter was about 7 months old, I didn’t have to worry about diapers.  I had gotten so many from my baby shower and I had friends with children a tad older than her, that would give me the size their child just grew out of.  Life was good.  

Most people had gotten me PAMPERS.  Thanks everyone!  That is a really great diaper and ... apparently not cheap.  My husband had also made comments along the way, that he much preferred the pampers, but at that point, we had not had to endure the consequences of the retail price.  It is great at retaining the liquids as intended.  The way the diaper fans out around the child’s leg seems comfortable for them and seems to add more security to the leak protection.  Over all, I had no issues with this product until it came time for me to purchase new stock.

So then came that moment, when I had to endure the consequences of that dreaded price point.  Friends had told me about this moment.  They told me about the inner struggle they had, conflicted by what seemed to be the choice of getting what they could afford or getting the very best for your tiny human.  I got to the aisle and picked my selection in pampers and then I look at the other brands.  For the same amount of diapers, Luv’s and Parent’s Choice were about $10 cheaper.  I quickly decided to put the Pampers back and give another brand a shot.  Parent’s Choice was very slightly less money than the Luv’s so I started there.  Right away, I noticed a huge difference.  I had important quality issues.  I found it was leaving a good amount of lint behind.  Often, the diaper would be weird at the point where it attaches or it would come off all together.  She very very easily, would leak through.  It was rediculous.  I tried to use as many as I could before giving up because I really hate wasting money.  I almost made it, but I did end up throwing away some of them, because I just couldnt take it anymore.  It’s really not fun finding that your infant woke up and their diaper fell off leaving all sorts of fund things about. 

So then, that brings me to the Luv’s brand.  I have come to love Luv’s!  Remember, it was about the same price as Parent’s Choice brand diapers, but it was also $10 cheaper than the Pampers brand.  I think as far as quality of material, Pampers is still a better product, so if you have money to spend a bit loosely, then Pampers is a great choice.  But if you are part of the group, that want to provide quality for your child and still be able to afford the other things in life, I would recommend Luv’s diapers.  I have not had any leaks.  I have not had it bunch in a weird way.  There is no lint residue.  It has not come off.  All qualities I appreciate in a product that you are ultimately intended to throw away.

I am lucky enough at this point that my child does not have any skin issues which may push your diaper search beyond this point.  But if you find that your child does not have any specific sensitivities, I would recommend the Luv’s brand diaper for the combination of quality and price point.  I believe that they have a better value for the dollar.  So if you are like me, and pay attention to your dollars, go with this choice.

So that's it for today's reviews.  I hope you have found this helpful.
