1.0 out of 5 stars Once Great, Now Crapola Pampers Cruisers, December 31, 2009

By 

New in VT "Mom of 2 Peanuts, escapist reader :)" (Vermont, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pampers Cruisers (Health and Beauty)

We are a family 3 years into our use of Pampers (multiple boys) and have always been huge fans. Cruisers (historically) almost never leak and diaper rash has rarely been an issue. I've never blinked at the higher price because I felt it was well worth having dry happy babies, both day and night. But sometime this summer, Pampers made the executive decision to vastly reduce the quality of the Cruisers (they reduced the absorbency and removed the keep-dry liner which ironically is still described in the current product description) without notifying customers or changing the packaging. This seems like a horribly unethical thing to do. I'm surprised there aren't more negative comments here in response to the lowered quality of the product (check out the other major online outlet for diapers if you want to see pages of angry customers). Personally after spending (literally) thousands of dollars with Pampers over the years I'm shocked by the silent switch in product.

Rumor has it that the "old" Cruisers are now being rebranded as Cruisers Premium and are only available at Target (presumably this is some test marketing scheme). Unfortunately as Target doesn't exist in VT and I'm loathe to pay the huge shipping fees from Target.com I cannot confirm that these new Cruisers Premium are in fact the same as our old beloved Cruisers. We've switched to Huggies which seem prone to leaks and seem to have a sharper urine smell to them, even when relatively fresh. But there doesn't seem to be any alternatives (although I am open to suggestion is anybody has any good ones to share!).

But I'm really disgusted by the way Pampers has squandered their customer loyalty. If they wanted to pump up profit margins, I would have preferred that they simply raised the prices which would have been more honest and respectful.

Excuse me, I have to go change my baby who has apparently leaked through his Huggies while I've been writing this review. Bah....

1.0 out of 5 stars New Cruiser without mesh-lining LEAK!, December 28, 2009

By

This review is from: Pampers Cruisers (Health and Beauty)

I have been a pampers customer since my son was born 20 months ago. I loved their OLD cruisers diapers. I can NOT say the same for there newly changed cruisers. First, I would like to say that I didn't appreciate them changing the diapers and not letting their consumers know. They could have even lied and put "new and improved mesh free lining" on the box. Secondly, it was very sneaky, to say the very least, that they made this change to the new lining during the holiday season when their customers might be to busy to notice. Well, i noticed as did my friends and family. Repeatedly my friends and family had to change their clothes because my sons pee leaked through onto their clothing while they were holding him. Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like being peed on. Not only that, but my sons diaper doesn't make it through the night anymore, it leaks all over him, his crib and his pj's. Thirdly, I am disappointed that pampers did not pass on the saving to us. I already spend $40 per box of pampers, if you are going to spend less money on making them then pass the savings on to your customers as well, even if I only spend .02 less a diaper.

I called customer service they were very nice but informed me this was a "permanent" change. They are sending me 4 $10 off coupons I guess to encourage me to keep buying their diapers after their shafty and questionable behavior. I am changing brands to a non P&G brand, which brand, i don't know yet. Buyers BEWARE!

1.0 out of 5 stars A major change for the worse, January 15, 2010

This review is from: Pampers Cruisers (Health and Beauty)

I'll repeat what the other recent reviews have said. Ignore any review that were written before December 2009 - they were written about an entirely different product. That old product was wonderful. We used Pampers exclusively for the last 16 months and almost never had failures or leaks.

But, like I said, that was a different product. As of our most recent purchase, they've re-designed the diapers to be thinner and a whole lot less effective. The diapers have a lot less absorbing capacity. It's a rare morning these days where my son's sleeper isn't soaked because his diaper leaked.

Unfortunately, we ordered a big box and now we're stuck with them. As of tomorrow, we're going to start experimenting with other brands.

So, to summarize:

Before: more expensive, but more effective. Worth the cost.
After: more expensive, nearly useless. Waste of money.
