I am a stay at home Mom with 4 children. I have been buying diapers for the past almost 11 years and Pampers Baby Dry is hands down the best diaper on the market, and believe me I have tried them all! All of my kids have been "super soakers" when it comes to pee. These diapers way out perform any other brand including major brands and department store brands. The major selling points for me are:

1. They are thin, easy to pack 5 in a diaper bag.

2. Easy to unfold with one hand (if you, like me frequently have to use the other hand to keep baby still)

3. tabs are easily opened without extra unfolding and don't rip off like several other brands.

4. Doesn't leave residue on baby or smell like pee when really soaked.

5. wider in the front to prevent baby from peeing out the side (and my kids are experts at this)

One thing that may be helpful is to remember that Pampers fit better on children that are long and skinny. If your baby is short and really chubby in the bottom, then Huggies will fit your baby better. This, I believe, explains the few complaints about Pampers not fitting or leaking.

Hope this review was helpful!

I made the huge mistake of buying the baby dry after reading through the reviews. I thought that for the price, why not try them. What a huge mistake! I should have just bought a smaller amount to try them first. Instead we have been using these for over a month now and I have had to clean up a poop spill at least every other day. My baby was 4 months old when we started using these and since she is not eating solids yet, the poop is pretty runny. The baby dry don't absorb the runny poop and it tends to just go right up the back side of the diaper onto her outfit and usually whatever or whoever she is lying on. It's just not worth the money saved! I will only buy the Swaddlers from now on. Hope this helps someone wondering which to buy Swaddlers or Baby Dry, DEFINITELY go with the SWADDLERS!!

It must depend on your child because I tried the cruisers after always using baby dry on my son and they failed us several times. I went right back to baby dry and no more leaks. I have also tried other brands and I loved Huggies for my daughter but they don't work for my son. Funny how each is different. I am a mother of 4 and Luvs worked for my other son. You just go with what works for your child. I also have noticed that they work differently for different ages as well. Good idea to try a few out before you buy the jumbo packs.

Like other reviewers suggested, the size description is wrong. My five month old is about 15 lbs and a perfect size 2, and this size 1-2 is only up to 15 pounds. I'd say it fits up to size 1 1/2 comfortably. Pampers sells a size straight size 2 in smaller packs.

Pampers diapers are great; easy to re-strap if you don't do it right the first time. The smell is pleasant, and the design cute sesame street characters. I recommmend, just make sure your baby is just barely out of size 1 to get this size 1-2!

I used to use the more expensive Pampers Cruisers but thought I'd try the Baby-Dry to save some money. I bought a pack at a local store first to make sure the fit and performance was good. I liked them just fine. Nice stretchy tabs, much like the Cruisers. So I ordered from Amazon. I ordered three cases to take advantage of a promotion Amazon was running. But the diapers I received must be old stock, before Pampers put the "flex" stretchy sides on the Baby-Dry diapers. The older expiration dates on the Rewards code confirms this. Maybe they've gotten rid of the old stock; then those newer diapers would rate 4.5 stars. These non-flex diapers barely close to fit my baby whereas the flex ones were plenty big. It irks me that Amazon posts a picture of the "flex" diapers and delivers a different,inferior product.

I love Pamper's Swaddlers. I've tried Huggies and both Pampers brands, and out of all of them Swaddlers are my favorite. That being said, the Baby Dry diapers are terrible. With Swaddlers you can adjust the fit, and the diapers are really soft. Baby Dry diapers feel like they're recycled and and I really dislike the sticky waist straps. They're shorter so you can't adjust the fit as easily, and the waist is always loose--with a boy that's a very bad idea because he tends to get his clothes wet through the TOP of the diaper instead of the sides now. I can't wait until we use these up because I will never buy Baby Dry again.

When our first child was born we tried every diaper at the store. We couldn't get a diaper to last him through the night without leaking. Pampers was the only diaper that would not leak through night. I prefer the green box to the purple box (cruisers) because the purple box diapers leave some gel looking residue on the baby's skin. We are now onto our second child and he just turned two. We still swear by Pampers diapers. I agree that their wipes aren't as good as Huggies.

Boy, are these great diapers! Plus, this is double the size of the regular packs of diapers (exactly) and it just makes it easier to have one this size and fill up your diaper stacker than it is to have a zillion of the smaller packs. I love having enough diapers for a week and since these are size 1, you go through them like candy! I'm glad to have these and to have found them here on amazon.com. The diapers themselves are fantastic - the only ones we've tried that do not leak. They absorb everything and quite frankly, I hate changing crib sheets so these are definitely worth the money. Plus, they don't promote diaper rash as easily as the cheaper diapers do.

My girls are 13 months old so I have had a LOT of experience with many different brands of diapers as well as diaper problems. Pampers Swaddlers & Pampers Baby Dry are our favorite and work better for us than any other brand.

We've tried:

*Luvs-terrible, leaky diaper, may as well flush your money down the toilet if you buy these

*CVS brand-terrible, leaky diaper, someone told us they worked well but they don't

*Parents Choice-okay but always leaked at night or on car rides

*Huggies-okay/good. When my girls were wearing size 1-2 we switched from Pampers to Huggies since they were cheaper & Huggies is a good brand. Most of the time Huggies were fine BUT on a regular basis they were leaking at night or on car rides. Once my girls started wearing size 3, the overnight leaks grew more and more and so did the car ride leaks(and not a long car ride) My girls are 17lbs & 20lbs and it seemed like there was not enough material on the front part that goes over their legs/sides of belly. After about a week straight of my daughter waking up completely soaked from her leaky Huggie, we switched back to Pampers.

*Pampers Swaddlers-WONDERFUL for a newborn. My girls were Preemies when they were born & the hospital put them in newborn size Swaddlers folded way over. They were big on my girls but since they are so soft & flexible it was not a problem. We LOVED the Swaddlers.

*Pampers Baby Dry-WONDERFUL once they outgrow Swaddlers. As I stated EVERY brand of diaper will leak or explode at sometime but with Pampers it happens way less often. Since I switched from Huggies where I dealt with a leaky or exploded diaper EVERY single night & EVERY single car ride with 1 of my daughters, I have had 1 diaper explosion from Pampers. My daughter drinks a 10oz bottle before bed so she does pee a LOT. Every car ride since switching to Pampers has been a dry one. In the mornings these diapers are full but the sides of my daughters outfits around the legs are dry-unlike the huggies where even if the diaper didn't leak, the side/legs of the diaper were damp and would always get my daughters outfits damp. Pampers also have more material so they are easy to get them to fit around my daughters legs/sides of belly. Pampers are also softer than any other diaper & more flexible. They also smell good!

Hands down Pampers are the BEST Diaper on the market and the only ones we'll ever use again...unless someone else comes out with something better.

Also, I've seen some people say that Huggies work better than Pampers if you have a chubby baby. I disagree. When one of my daughters was younger she was short & really chubby & the Pampers fit her better than anything else...they have the most material to go around the belly & are the most flexible.

BabiesRus has the cheapest price for diapers & you can use coupons.

Pampers may usually be more expensive than other brands but to have a happier & dry baby is WELL worth it. Not to mention washing sheets, clothes & car seat covers adds to the cost of the other diapers.

Just for those worried (like I was) about getting old non-flextab diapers from ordering this product: I ordered a 160-pack, size 4, in May, and they were the newest version, not the old ones with non-flexible tabs.
