Before little Dev was born, I had received a couple boxes of Pampers Sensitives at my baby shower. Since that is what they provided at the hospital, and I had plenty free ones at home, that's what I used for quite some time. Eventually the time came where I ran out of the diapers I had and it was time to get more. I was really pleased with the way the Pampers Sensitives smelled, their sticky mechanism, and the overall hold up, but I decided to give the Pampers Dry a try as well. I thought those held up even better with less leaks. Next, we tried Pampers Cruisers for my fatboy, and were pleased.

Now that our wallets are getting thin, and Devin is no longer a newborn with sensitive needs, we decided to give a cheaper alternative a shot. While we were at Costco, we decided to give Huggies a shot. The diapers definitely don't have that nice smell to them, and they hold up alright for leaks, but I do have one major complaint. The Huggies end up smelling sooo much faster. I mean, Devin will barely pee and it just smells like he's been in it all day.
So that is my final verdict, I think Pampers are the way to go if you are going to be unfriendly to the environment and not do cloth diapering. I still have time to give other brands a shot, I will keep you informed. If you're a Mom, which did you prefer?
I commented on your fb, but I will say here too. I found cloth diapers were very expensive on my water bill - then tried the pickup service, which was even worse! So then I decided that they just weren't worth the time and effort. We tried the Pampers at first and they didn't fit as well as I'd hoped and leaked a lot - plus he has sensitive skin. So we switched to Huggies. My only complaints about the Huggies (because they DO stop leaks like SO amazing!) is that as he got older I found myself having to jump up a size a lot faster then I thought because they weren't covering his bum all the time. Also, when you leave them in the diaper genie - they stink a lot faster!
