Luvs Diapers Versus Pampers Baby Dry Diapers

There is a Difference in Disposable Diapers!

My new son, at six months old, goes through a lot of diapers. We probably use about 6-10 diapers per day. I know some people still use cloth diapers but we chose to go with disposables. And, we’ve tried out a number of different diapers! What we like best are diapers that make our son comfortable and keep him dry without leaking.

There are 2 brands with which we are happiest at the time but still they both are very different. Pampers Baby Dry Diapers have Sesame Street characters on the diapers. There is a Sesame Street character on the front and on the back of the diaper. Then the rest of the diaper has designs such as clouds, suns, stars, and bugs on the rest of the outside and can show through when baby wears light colored clothing. On the other hand, Luvs diapers feature Blue’s clues characters on the front and are basically white on the rest of the diaper’s outside. Not that anyone cares what’s on baby’s diaper but it looks better when baby is wearing light colored clothing that the diaper designs do not show through

Pampers Baby Dry Diapers have an absorbent middle core which really does work. It keeps the wetness in the core and away from baby’s skin. I have also found that it does not leak out of the diaper which is a very important feature to me. I think that the elasticized legs really do keep the diaper from leaking. Luvs have a very similar core and elasticized legs. Luvs also do not seem to leak even when my baby seems to to be very wet. Both diaper brands absorb wetness away from baby’s skin well. My son, in his 6 months, has never had a diaper rash!

When we look at the outside of the diapers, Luvs seems to have a fabric feel to the outside while Pampers feels more like paper. Pampers are also more “crinkly” sounding when you touch them. Luvs seem more natural; more like a cloth diaper.
