These diapers are great, they are of the same quality as Pampers, only about $6-7 cheaper for the same amount. They have the stretchy sides that are exactly the same type as Pampers Swaddlers and Cruisers. They have a babypowder scent to them, which is a little stronger than the Swaddlers, but not to where it bothers anyone. So far I've tried Target, Wal-Mart brands, Huggies, Pampers and Luvs. From my experience they ALL leak, no matter what they say. Especially when my breastfed baby has an explosive poop while not laying on his back -- this makes the liquid come out from the back of the diaper. But these don't leak as much as Huggies and generic brands. They are also not as rough as Huggies. Like I said, I would compare these to Pampers, I really think they stole their design ;)

These diapers WERE great. We had our new born last May, and have used LUVS since birth after trying Pampers and Huggies. On our little one, Huggies leaked all over the place every time, Pampers were OK but not better at a more expensive price. We've been ordering LUVS from Amazon from size 1. Somewhere in the middle of size 3 boxes (a couple of months back), the LUVS diapers that we've received suddenly changed in quality. The cross-hatch is gone (it's all white now), the diapers are thinner, and the elastic on the sides are awful now, they lose their elasticity very easily, and of course that means leaky diapers. We thought that might have been a one-time thing, but the next size 4 box that we ordered are the same 'new' no-good quality. Up above in the images, I see that someone else had the same experience. You can see from the pictures there that the diapers are different now.

What happened to the great LUVS diapers???

I thought I should just share with y'all that Luvs is manufactured by the same peeps that make Pampers Diapers. They consider them their "discount brand", lots of big name brands do that to keep the most amount of customers (in this case upper and middle class families) in their corner.
About LUVS diapers I can say nothing too bad - my daughter is 2 years now and VERY active and also drinks A LOT so we have quite a few leaky diapers throughout the day but I have to say I tried regular Pampers Cruisers, Huggies, Walmart Brand - she always has leaks, it just comes with the degree of activity and the amount of water she drinks all day. At night time I switched from Pampers Cruisers to Huggies Night Time Diapers; works really well for me, havent had any leaks in the middle of the night anymore. But during the day I stick to my LUVS, they are fairly cheap (only a couple of dollars difference from Pampers, but HEY) and do the job. I would like to comment on a couple of things some people here said (negative) about LUVS:
If the diaper is leaking, it COULD be the diaper, but most likely it's your little one; once they are more active, they wiggle and bend differently and what worked fine before, just doesnt work now any longer. Also, when they get in between sizes the diaper just doesnt do the job anymore, you need a bigger size. And maybe they just had a cup of water too many and you didnt realize it fast enough and there you have the leak.
If your kiddo has diaper rash, it could be the diaper, but most likely your child is already on the sensitive side - like mine - so what I did was I used a blow dryer every time I changed her diaper after I cleaned her up with wipes really good, and when her bottom was dry I used good ol' Vaseline (for babies) to keep the urin from entering the skin BTW Vaseline is what Pampers use inside of their Swaddlers and Cruisers, so there you have the secret ingredient to prevent rash in expensive diapers! Works really great! I only used Boudreauxs Butt Paste when she had a bad rash, to make it go away, other than that I ALWAYS used Vaseline, every single time I changed her.
If your little stretchy tab tears you really just got one out of the whole package that was faulty or you used to much force, it happened to me too, with Pampers Swaddlers and Cruisers also, but actually the worst was Huggies - they almost ALWAYS tore. I must be doing something wrong - my LUVS hold up for the most part.
Last I would like to say that I never let my Toddler run around the house in just diapers on - she knows how to take them off and if she is playing bouncy on her ride-on car sometimes the already full diaper explodes and the gelly stuff comes out. Stretchy pants or shorts really help with that.
With Huggies I've made only bad experiences when she was a baby - it seems like Huggies are perfect for boys, maybe it has something to do with the anatomy and how the pee comes out, but they NEVER worked for my daughter. I am really surprised that the over night diapers from Huggies are so great, just during the day they also leak - I really think it's a gender thing. Correct me if Im wrong.

Over all, really love LUVS, I prefer Pampers, just not the price, so I save a couple of bucks each month by buying LUVS. Im pregnant with baby no 2 right now and for newborns to about 9 months I am going to use Pampers Swaddler and Cruisers ONLY but thats ONLY because I breastfeed and Pampers absorb runny messes like no other diaper - but only Swaddlers and Cruisers - they have a net-like texture that absorbs the runny poop and keeps it in there better than any diaper I know.

For the everyday (during the day) wear with mostly pee to take care of, I absolutely recommend LUVS.

The new luvs (white) leak up the front and the diaper filling comes out and all over baby, clothes, floor...
I change little man often because he is so active, climbing, trying to run, general "toddling" and this still happens more often than not. That diaper filling is awful to try to clean out off the floors. I do not recommend this product.

This is the new packaging with larger quantity. The pricing is a slightly cheaper than the prior 174 package. The diapers are pretty much the same. This item and the diapers are a great value for the price.

It works well with my baby. I use this during the day and Pampers Cruisers at night for the extra thickness.

These diapers are great. We have used almost all types of diapers and these are my favorite. My son is 17 months old and is always on the go. I have found that these stay in place and do not sag like Huggies. No matter how tight I would put his huggies on, they would gradually fall down and sag.

I would say these are more comparable to Pampers but they are cheaper. Pampers have always stayed in place with my son. Also, I cant say that I really have leaks with Pampers but I have with Huggies. I have never had a leak with these diapers. Who would have thought, cheaper price and better than the higher priced ones.

I highly recommend them

I have purchased Luvs Diapers since my son was born. He is 9 months old now.

I purchased the pack of 204 Diapers from Amazon a few weeks ago. When I pull the tabs from the back to stick to the front of the diaper the entire tab tears right off. I can tell by looking at the diapers that there is a portion that is supposed to be "stitched" together with heat. About half of the "stitches" are not connected and this is an issue throughout the whole box.

When I went to contact Luvs about the product quality issue there is absolutely no way to contact them for this. Their phone number is only automated and there are no options to report defective products or talk to someone.

I did a search on the Internet and this qualtiy issue appears to be fairly common (along with the problem that Luvs has no contact information). I am now switching to another product as Luvs does not care enough about their customers to staff a support desk or even an email address.

Thanks to Amazon Mom, these diapers are hands down the best deal anywhere. I've tried both Huggies and Pampers in addition to Luvs, and I can't see enough difference to justify the premium price. We've only had two "accidents" to date (my daughter is now 5 months old), and both were with Pampers (up the back AND out the side). And while I like Pampers' wetness indicator strip in theory, it's just not useful enough to pay extra for it ... it's not that difficult to tell when the baby needs a new diaper. Importantly, we've also had no incidents of rash or irritation with Luvs. So between the good fit, the relative lack of bulkiness, the soft material, and the great price, these are kind of a no brainer for us. We're now on Size 3, and still no complaints.

Loved the price and the product. Though cheaper than other fancier brands, it's leak proof, serves the purpose annd looks decent. Planning to buy the product again (next size) from Amazon. Shipping was fast and amazon as reliable as ever.

We received this brand diapers as a baby shower gift - thank goodness we only received 2 packs because they seem to be cheaply made. The tabs do not grab hold firmly like other brands. The diapers do not have the same form and fit as other brands. The diapers have a plastic like feeling.

When our little girl (12 week old) wakes up in the morning after wearing these diapers for 6-7 hours, both her clothes as well as her bedding are wet.

We have been using Swaddlers and Huggies and they both work fine with no leaks - we will not purchase Luvs brand diapers again. As far as I am concerned they are a waste of money.
