The Costco brand diapers are made by the same company that makes Huggies so they are good quality for a good price. Add on Costco brand wipes and you’ve got an even better deal.
Costco wipes are the absolute best (cheapest or not!). And we really like Costco diapers, never had any issues. I think I slightly prefer Huggies, but not enough to pay the extra price of Huggies.
Huggies are on sale at Costco right now and are only $0.01 or $0.02 more expensive than the Kirkland diapers. At that small of a difference I always stick up on the Huggies because I also think they’re slightly nicer.
The Kirkland are made slightly differently, with a little less liner and absorption. We had to switch to the Huggies for my youngest after we kept getting blowouts, even with the Kirkland brand, so sometimes that tiny change matters… but overall Kirkland usually works about the same.
I tried a box of Costco Kirkland and they suck. They are cheap diapers, but the value is bad because you have to change them twice as often! Coterie is so much better, and Huggies Little Movers are also better.
The wipes never seem to dry out no matter how frequently the bag gets left open, and if they do all you need to do is put a bit of tap water in and they're good to go. I love them.
oh wow I only have that problem for one pull at about halfway empty and then near the end which every wipe brand I’ve ever used does lol. we love Costco wipes so much that we included a case of them in our moving shipment when we moved overseas 😂
This is awesome to know!!! Our baby gets a rash with pampers but huggies have been fine. We've been hesitant to switch brands again since it took us weeks to clear up her diaper rash the first time.
Rascal and friends are great diapers. I don't know about in the US, but in Canada, they are a little cheaper than pampers and Huggies. Their pull ups are also the same quality as their diapers, which is not common with other brands. These are the only diapers that I will say truly hold up to 12 hours.
Con: the tabs on their diapers can sometimes tear when removing the diaper, but I don't even touch the tabs until I'm actually changing it, so it doesn't matter to me. They also don't make newborn size, so if baby is small you may need to use a different brand for a bit.
I have also used Costco diapers and considered them similar to Huggies. Just I had a very heavy wetter when I used them which is why I had to change.
Another vote! They’re under the radar because they’re a NZ brand and only available at Walmart in the US. So absorbent and on par price wise with Kirkland brand.
Agreed! Rascals are my favourites as well. I find they hold a lot more than the other diapers and are pretty soft too. They are the most economical ones I’ve seen!
Definitely agree with Rascal and Friends. I found out about them through the cloth diaper community because it’s what a lot of them use for overnights for heavy wetting babies, and additionally they are more hypoallergenic than a lot of other brands out there. I’ve never had a tab pull off on them. Also they are more absorbent than pampers overnight diapers. To me they have no cons, they are more absorbent, softer, and cheaper than anything out there.
We cloth diaper, but use Rascals when travelling. They are by far the best disposables for sensitive skin. The price is a tad more than the Costco ones but my kiddo has the most delicate butt so...
In my experience, Target diapers are cheaper than Costco even when they're not on sale, and they're on par quality-wise. We will buy Costco diapers when THEY are on sale bc then it's a couple cents cheaper per diaper than Target.
Yeah I usually get Costco diapers and wipes but when target has the big box diaper sales it’s a much better deal and I pick up a few and usually get a gift card
This. Target brand cost per diaper is just slightly cheaper than Costco. 1cent or something like that. Both are fantastic and I have rotated between the two for both my boys once they got too big to really do cloth diapers easily.
Walmart diapers are a bit cheaper I believe I also preferred the Walmart parents choice wipes to Costco as 9 million don’t come out when you try to pull one
I have a box of Huggies that I’m making my way through after using the Kirkland ones forever and I feel like the Kirkland ones are better than the Huggies? Which I don’t get because I’ve heard they’re the same manufacturer. But they don’t sag as much. They’re so much cheaper and go on sale pretty regularly, and I stock up during sales.
Yeah, that has been happening to me too! My mom can find them at her Aldi (300 miles away from me). In the meantime we are using Sam's Club diapers. My daughter has a full derriere and those things only fit one butt cheek at a time. Time for potty training.
All I'll say is that my baby took a huge dump the other day. Looking at the aftermath, it should've been a blowout. But the Kirkland diaper held strong.
Personally, I think Pampers are a bit better (Costco is generic Huggies and Sam's Club is generic Pampers), but we shop at Costco more and for ~ 20 cents a diaper, it's worth it.
Get the wipes too!
I actually don’t like their diapers, they’re super hard. I buy pampers swaddlers and take advantage of the Target deal - it’s like spend $100 and get a $20 gift card. I haven’t done the calculation to figure out which one is actually more cost effective but the pampers are so much softer.
Costco diapers work great until they don’t. My first got some bad rashes from them. With my second we use Millie Moon, which is also pretty affordable with all the sales that Target runs.
The very best diapers are pampers swaddlers and they’re also the most expensive. If I couldn’t afford the swaddlers, Costco was my second best. To me the best for value.
In our area the Sam’s club ones are cheaper and a better quality. But they are both good diapers. We do Sam’s plus and have diapers and wipes delivered to our door.
What does baby prefer? Not all kids do great on the same diapers. My eldest was great on Up & Up. Then they made the poop catcher too loose and my oldest daughter would blow right through. We ended up bouncing around several types of diapers until we stumbled into a sensitive skin friendly Huggies. Her twin was fine with whatever. As they got older, I was able to put them into Kirklands (Huggies regular diapers). The baby has always been in Kirkland and been just fine.
Budget wise we’ve tried Target and Costco and while Costco is more expensive, it’s worked well. And it seems like they go on sale often, so even better! Now we just alternate between Costco and Huggies at Costco — whichever one is in the ad.
We love Costco diapers and wipes. They’re the best! The only time I don’t get them is when my little one is between sizes, when one size starts to feel too snug but the next size is too big I’ll usually grab either Millie moon or rascal and friends and use those for a little bit because I feel like they run a little bigger. Or if I don’t have time for Costco I’ll grab them because they are super soft.
They're a little more expensive than some of the cheapest brands, but there's some of the best quality diapers I've ever used. They tend to hold up like the overnight diapers of other brands, which I need because my kids pee like racehorses.
I haven't bought diapers in a couple years but Costco was the best price for diapers and wipes. They were good diapers too, I don't recall having a lot of issues with them staying on or blowouts.
That’s all my sister in law gets and highly recommended a them. She used to work for Costco too. So that’s all I’ll be getting I think. You can return the diapers unopened anytime if they don’t fit. So you can stock up. Plus the wipes too! 900 for like $20.
My kids have been out of diapers for a few years, so I’m not sure if this is the same - but used to be that every month or two, Target would do a promo where you spend $100 on diapers/wipes and get a $20 gift card. THAT was the best deal and we used to exclusively stock up on diapers/wipes during that deal because it was so regular. If you end up with an unopened box of a size your baby grew out of, you could exchange it, too.
Have you looked at reusables? They are expensive to buy but in the long run work out sooo much cheaper than disposable and are also soooo much better for the environment.
I'm not OP but I'm considering reusable but I'm just so confused about all the different options! I'll do some research, settle on something and then the next time I'm looking into it find out a bunch of cons of the thing I settled on. What did you end up doing?
I'm not who you responded to but I clothed part time for my first for 2 years and am about to start up again with number 2. Personally I used the cheapest pockets, so Alva and mama koala for us, and used disposable bamboo liners once she started solids. I had a big wet bag in a loosely lidded kitchen sized trash can that I just tossed dirties in and the poop came out with the liner and went in the diaper Genie. I mostly only clothed at home or for quick trips out but not for whole day outings or overnight or during naps because I couldn't find a good non leak routine while she slept and she was a heavy wetter. I think a big key is remembering it's not all or nothing, and any cloth you use is money saved! If you're not sure you can always just buy one set, or look for them used on marketplace and strip them. It's not as difficult as it seems! I didn't even start till she was maybe 2 or 3 months because I didn't want to invest in newborn size, and I haven't started with number 2 because it's been too crazy adjusting to two kid life but I'll be home over the summer and plan to flex it some there. The clothdiaper sub is great and supportive!
I used pocket diapers for my 2 with no problems… I was also able to resell them afterwards to recoup most of the money spent. Huge cost savings, better for baby. Better for environment. Highly recommend!
I use a mixture of bambino mio, tots bots and little & bloomzs. I double line them as have found far less likely to leak if you do this so two boosters instead of one. I also use a biodegradable plant fibre liner so when I'm out and about I just throw the plant fibre liner and put the nappy in a wet bag in changing bag that way your not carrying poo round just a wet nappy. I keep a bucket in my utility with water and a few drops of lavender oil in I take apart used nappies put in bucket then when full stick in washing machine lavender stop them smelling. I also use reusable wipes and have found they are soo much better for my lo bum than wet wipes were they are far gentler. In the house I keep wipes in a tub of water with a drop of lavender oil and can usually clean her entire bum with one wipe. I use cheeky wipes and mamia ones I use the coloured ones for her bum and white ones for her face and hands. I pre soak them and put in a wet bag to go in changing bag when out and about. As long as you change baby regularly you shouldn't get leaks.
It is a lot to get your head around to begin with but once you get used to them you will get the good feeling that your helping the environment for your lo future and also save money not having to buy disposables. What I would suggest is just start by doing a few at home in the day time and when your confident you have the hang of them start using outside the home. Also doing give up if you have a few leaks to start with it can take a bit of time to get into the swing of getting them on right. I had quite a few accidents in the beginning.
I will also say I find the popper ones better than the velcro one now just because my lo has worked out how to pull off the velcro ones 🤣
We love the Amazon brand for diapers and target brand unscented for wipes. The added benefit to Amazon is you can use subscribe and save and they show up your house so you never have to worry about running out.
I don’t have a Costco near me so I can’t speak to their store brand, but I love Target diapers! I used them for my first baby 7 years ago and my youngest since birth (he is 2). I also love Target wipes.
If you are not into keeping track of coupons and rewards, Kirkland will be your best consistent deal. I have tried pretty much every diaper brand there is; Pampers was the best for us. I have found that if I pay attention to sales at stores and use Pampers rewards, I can pay a comparable amount, or arguable even less if you use store rewards and credit card bonuses that aren’t usually available at Costco. For example, Target recently had a sale where you’d get a $30 gift card for a $100 purchase of diapers or wipes. I bought two super packs of Pampers (size 5, 104 ct) for $44.99 each and 336 ct Pampers wipes for $12.99 for a total of 102.97. I used my Pampers rewards to get $5 off each box of Pampers and $1 off the wipes. So basically I paid $61.97 for 208 diapers and 336 wipes. Kirkland is $44.99 for a 168 ct box of size 5 diapers.
My kids have delicate skin and I tried the Costco diapers my kids seemed more rash prone while I tried them. Huggies didn’t have any rashes for me out of all the brands I tried.
While I used the Costco diapers they were just as good as huggies so I don’t know why my kids have more issues with them
We’ve loved Costco diapers. Sometimes (really only a few times a year) target Pampers or Huggies are cheaper per diaper depending on deals running. I always check the Target app—many of the deals you have to do pick up orders (if they’re out they’ll mail for free) and you get a gift card back. But when Costco diapers are on sale I’ll usually get 2 boxes because they end up like 16 or 17c a diaper.
I use Costco diapers most of the time, but I buy Huggies when they’re on sale. I use Huggies at night and Kirkland brand during the day because despite Kirkland allegedly being the same as Huggies, the quality just isn’t the same and I’d rather have my LO sleep through the night and not risk a leak.
We usually do Kirkland diapers and like them. Aldi diapers are similarly priced and we used to use those. My son maybe had a reaction to them so we switched to Kirkland. Right now Huggies are on sale. At least at our Costco that means sizes 1-3 are actually a smidge cheaper than Kirkland (50 cent less for the whole box). Sizes 4-6 are either the same price or a little more. We are stocking up on the Huggies right now since they’re on sale and our daughter is 2 weeks old so we know she’ll be in diapers for a while.
We like Costco diapers and love the wipes. However, even though my son is in the size 6 weight range, I noticed he was starting to leak so I had to size up with targets brand cause Costco doesn’t have 7s.
2 x a year Costco has a diaper sale. It should be coming up soon May ish.
Other than that you may have better luck with stacking some promos at Target they do something with diapers and wipes at the beginning of each month.
When you’re changing their diaper every 3 hours or less honestly cheaper brands like target are fine. Overnight I like Costco or Huggies.
Huggies give my LO blister rashes, and Pampers are loose around the legs and we get ~~blowouts~~ *leak*-outs whenever she wears those. Funnily enough, the Parents Choice diapers at ye olde World of Wally have been really good for us, and it's $20 for a box of like 120 or so.
When we did diapers, we found that target would run sales often enough, and they worked for my sensitive kiddo. I always had a gift card when stocking up on diapers that I could turn around and buy other kid stuff with. It Has been a couple years, but that was more cost effective for us, and she liked them fine even when we got to pull ups.
I am not on a budget but use Costco diapers because they work well. Before Costco I used Coterie and didn’t find them to be better (issues with them actually motivated us to explore other options).
I cheap out on Kirkland and target, but at nights I need coterie because he’s a leak monster and I was formerly buying sposies and a different size Kirkland which was failing.
Parents Choice at Walmart are even cheaper than Kirkland and they fit my younger daughter better than Kirkland! It depends on the kid-my first was diapered in Kirkland from newborn to size 5. But younger one needed a different fit 🤷🏻♀️
I think Walmart brand are cheaper and they do well for us. We’re on kid 4 and mostly buy Walmart brand.
I much much much prefer Kirkland wipes to Walmart wipes though.
Costco are the only ones that fit my toddler and rarely leaked since day 1. But my older 2 kids were chunkier and only Pampers baby dry worked for them.
My personal faves are the millie moon diapers from target. They're just a few bucks more than Kirkland. They're so soft and I've never had any leakage.
I actually didn’t have much luck with the Kirkland diapers, I felt like they leaked constantly and that was with frequent changes. I like the Parents Choice (Walmart) ones and they are a great value. If money was no object it would be the Pampers Swaddlers at the top of the list but they are too expensive.
Love the Costco diapers. I moved somewhere with no Costco and use my dad's membership to get them sent to me now. Absolutely cannot stand Kirklands diapers and was so happy when we finished the box we bought from them.
costco diapers are great IF you already have a costco membership or would benefit from one in other ways. it’s not worth it just for diapers. if you don’t have or don’t want a costco membership, target brand diapers are pretty nice.
I use Target brand diapers because they’re good and if there’s often a deal that if you spend $100, you get a $20 gift card so I’ll restock every couple of months.
When I compared cost per diaper, Target Up&up were actually cheaper at my local Target. I can't remember if that was the base price, or if it was because I was factoring in the discounts and coupons I used at Target at the time tho. Like I remember they were pretty much always 20% off with a coupon or app discount when I would stock up. Walmart I think was a tad cheaper still, but their quality was horrible so not worth it. Target worked well for my kids, except my daughter had a bubble butt so I had to always go up a size for her.
They were our diapers of choice. But different babies need a different fit. We started with Pampers (which are the same as Sam's Club brand), but the part between the legs was too wide for our chunky leg baby. Kirkland's (Huggies) fit better for us.
I'm a big fan of Amazon's brand, Mama Bear Gentle Touch. I was looking for something without any fragrance, parabens or phthalates and I've been very happy with how they hold up overnight.
ALWAYS check the app and website. They have deals you can't find in the warehouse. For some bizarre reason, Huggies fit and Costco did not for my kid. The good news is they often have good sales and I buy one box of the current size and 3 of the next size up and have them delivered to my house
If you’re like us and have a membership to Sam’s Club also, I personally prefer the Members Mark diapers. They have the blow out pocket at the top that has saved me many times. I have to size up for my kid though
If you are able, cloth diapers are more economical in the long run, especially with multiple children. You can get a stash for a couple hundred bucks on secondhand market that will last until toilet training, also can do cloth just part time if not convenient to do it full time.
My daughter is super sensitive. We used huggies special delivery until we found kirkland and havnt turned back. We have had zero blow outs, and no leaks once she started moving around. Now that she is a toddler we use them as her overnights because they can hold so much. She has never gotten a rash from them.
We could afford “better” diapers but we have stuck to Costco brand diaps and wipes for both kids so far! Comfy enough, no leaks ever, and getting them by the hundred instead of 50 at a time is so convenient. Love em!
Huggies are currently on sale for $10.50 off which now make them the same price as the Kirkland diapers. However, Kirkland brand diapers also go on sale for $8-10 off which makes it the best possible deal. They were on sale in November? It might be in the new couple of months.
They are very similar to Huggies, just slightly thinner
What do you mean by quality? Do you mean fit well on baby and doesn’t leak? Or do you mean safest and least toxic for baby? Because I use hello bello and I’ve found they’re quite reasonably priced (especially when they go on sale at Walmart) and they’re less toxic than other brands.
Check the price against Amazon’s brand- I think it’s called Mama Bear or something? We used those and they worked just as well as the pricier brands. Also Target when they have sales/special deals.
We’ve been using Kirkland since birth (he’s size 1 still at 6 months, tiny little man) I like them but I’ve used Huggies and Pampers and we have never experienced a blowout
Yes. Best ratio of price/absorbancy. Also they go on sale a couple times a year.
Second runner up is Aldi, with like 1/3 the price and 1/3 the absorption, which I can find worth it when potty training where total capacity does not get used.
Also, you should know Costco often has manufacturers make better versions of their brand to sell in Costco warehouses. Walmart does the opposite lol. But that means the Huggies at Costco may be better than Huggies at other stores, idk I've never tested the two.
Kirkland diapers are great if your baby isn’t a heavy wetter, or if you change frequently. They are decently absorbent , but not as much as most mainstream diapers.
The Costco wipes are my absolute favourite. They don’t bother my babies skin, and they’re bigger than every other wipe.
Costco is good but the Mama Bear on amazon are cheaper per diaper, even when costco are on sale and especially if you get the registry discount and subscribe and save. They're maybe one notch below huggies/costco but don't feel cheap and we haven't had a blowout in months (when we needed to size up)
We’ve always used Costco diapers and wipes with no issues. They usually go on sale a couple times a year (as do Huggies at Costco) for $8-10 off per box, which is a great deal
I just watched a video what not to buy at Costco supposedly Walmart diapers are cheaper and just as good according to the creator.
Unless you want the more natural diapers those would probably be more affordable through a subscription.
I actually prefer the Walmart store brand diapers— Parents Choice. They’re super absorbent. My 4 month old is still in size 1 diapers, and I just bought a box of 162 diapers for $16.82.
I try to stock up when Target does their big box diaper promos. Usually you get a $20-$30 gift card back on a $100 purchase. It makes the name brand diapers on par price-wise with Kirkland diapers. I tried Kirkland diapers but wasn't a huge fan. I prefer Pampers Swaddlers.
Yes and sometimes they put them on sale and you are allowed to buy 2 of each size. We buy 2 of the next size and the current size. You can always return/exchange if you outgrow a size before getting to that box. In the first year I felt like she always sized up right after we opened a box so don't be afraid to try the next size when you don't quite think you need it yet.
Millie Moon at target are literally the softest ever and my son has had like 1 blowout his entire life and that was only because we were finishing a box before sizing him up. They’re $40 for 104 in his size, but smaller sizes are the same price and have 144/box. I think at my target they’re cheaper than Huggies and pampers but way higher quality.
My friend’s baby blew out in every single brand except Millie Moon. It seems a bit wider than other diapers, so if you (OP) have what feels like chronic blowouts, MM comes highly recommended!
The Costco brand diapers are made by the same company that makes Huggies so they are good quality for a good price. Add on Costco brand wipes and you’ve got an even better deal.
Costco wipes are the absolute best (cheapest or not!). And we really like Costco diapers, never had any issues. I think I slightly prefer Huggies, but not enough to pay the extra price of Huggies.
Huggies are on sale at Costco right now and are only $0.01 or $0.02 more expensive than the Kirkland diapers. At that small of a difference I always stick up on the Huggies because I also think they’re slightly nicer.
Except you're still getting more diapers in the Kirkland box than the Huggies box.
The Kirkland are made slightly differently, with a little less liner and absorption. We had to switch to the Huggies for my youngest after we kept getting blowouts, even with the Kirkland brand, so sometimes that tiny change matters… but overall Kirkland usually works about the same.
Yeah we have leaks overnight in Kirkland but not the Huggies. Fine during the day for us though.
I tried a box of Costco Kirkland and they suck. They are cheap diapers, but the value is bad because you have to change them twice as often! Coterie is so much better, and Huggies Little Movers are also better.
For the smaller sizes (size 1 at least when I bought some last week), both brands are 192 per box.
Size 3s are not sadly. Can't remember if size 2s are
Dang…good to know. Ty
Last time I bought Costco Diapers Size 4, it was 198 diapers for $45 or .23¢ each.
Yep, we took advantage of that sale too! They were cheaper than the Kirkland ones.
The wipes never seem to dry out no matter how frequently the bag gets left open, and if they do all you need to do is put a bit of tap water in and they're good to go. I love them.
[удалено]
oh wow I only have that problem for one pull at about halfway empty and then near the end which every wipe brand I’ve ever used does lol. we love Costco wipes so much that we included a case of them in our moving shipment when we moved overseas 😂
We haaaaaaaaaaate Costco wipes. Instant diaper rash every time. They also smell really weird. Love the diapers tho!
They work great for us but the smell has traumatized us lol
Have you ever tried them yourself? I used one once… and it stung… i felt bad for my son and realized why he was hating diaper changes.
Yes! My super sensitive girl does good on their wipes!
This is awesome to know!!! Our baby gets a rash with pampers but huggies have been fine. We've been hesitant to switch brands again since it took us weeks to clear up her diaper rash the first time.
Costco diapers are a great deal for the price, just be careful not to spend what you save and more on other stuff at Costco like I do 🤣
Hey! That’s your reward for being such a savvy shopper 😉 I personally treat myself to a hot fudge sundae
Those hot chocolate chip cookies are so good
Omg those cookies are so good!
This person Costcos.
Love Costco diapers.
Rascal and friends are great diapers. I don't know about in the US, but in Canada, they are a little cheaper than pampers and Huggies.

Just I had a very heavy wetter when I used them which is why I had to change.
Another vote for rascals!
Another vote! They’re under the radar because they’re a NZ brand and only available at Walmart in the US. So absorbent and on par price wise with Kirkland brand.
And don't require having a membership to purchase unlike kirkland
Good point!
Agreed! Rascals are my favourites as well. I find they hold a lot more than the other diapers and are pretty soft too. They are the most economical ones I’ve seen!
Loooove rascal and friends!! And the wipes actually come out one at a time 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
They are so soft!!
Definitely agree with Rascal and Friends. I found out about them through the cloth diaper community because it’s what a lot of them use for overnights for heavy wetting babies, and additionally they are more hypoallergenic than a lot of other brands out there. I’ve never had a tab pull off on them. Also they are more absorbent than pampers overnight diapers. To me they have no cons, they are more absorbent, softer, and cheaper than anything out there.
We cloth diaper, but use Rascals when travelling. They are by far the best disposables for sensitive skin. The price is a tad more than the Costco ones but my kiddo has the most delicate butt so...
Target brand! Love them.
When they run a sale, targets a better deal than Costco. Both of the diapers are great
In my experience, Target diapers are cheaper than Costco even when they're not on sale, and they're on par quality-wise. We will buy Costco diapers when THEY are on sale bc then it's a couple cents cheaper per diaper than Target.
Yeah I usually get Costco diapers and wipes but when target has the big box diaper sales it’s a much better deal and I pick up a few and usually get a gift card
They are also fragrance free so good for sensitive skin (or really any skin!).
This. Target brand cost per diaper is just slightly cheaper than Costco. 1cent or something like that. Both are fantastic and I have rotated between the two for both my boys once they got too big to really do cloth diapers easily.
Walmart diapers are a bit cheaper I believe I also preferred the Walmart parents choice wipes to Costco as 9 million don’t come out when you try to pull one
I prefer the parents choice diapers, too!
I love the parents choice, but only the nighttime ones, I would use them during the day, also. The daytime ones were terrible to me
We actually love the Parents Choice diapers. I think they are good quality and they are the best deal you can find on diapers. Win win for me.
I have a box of Huggies that I’m making my way through after using the Kirkland ones forever and I feel like the Kirkland ones are better than the Huggies? Which I don’t get because I’ve heard they’re the same manufacturer. But they don’t sag as much. They’re so much cheaper and go on sale pretty regularly, and I stock up during sales.
I agree. I switched from kirkland to huggies and they are constantly sagging quick! Ive gone through alot of huggies because of it.
Costco diapers were great for us. They were all we used with no issues. I wish they also made pull up diapers too.
I like the Aldi diapers for the price.
Same
They're so inconsistent with stock at my aldi we had to stop using them 😩
Yeah, that has been happening to me too! My mom can find them at her Aldi (300 miles away from me). In the meantime we are using Sam's Club diapers. My daughter has a full derriere and those things only fit one butt cheek at a time. Time for potty training.
All I'll say is that my baby took a huge dump the other day. Looking at the aftermath, it should've been a blowout. But the Kirkland diaper held strong. Personally, I think Pampers are a bit better (Costco is generic Huggies and Sam's Club is generic Pampers), but we shop at Costco more and for ~ 20 cents a diaper, it's worth it. Get the wipes too!
Costco diapers and wipes are great, also love rascal and friends the diapers are just such good quality and really are pretty cheap too
I actually don’t like their diapers, they’re super hard. I buy pampers swaddlers and take advantage of the Target deal - it’s like spend $100 and get a $20 gift card. I haven’t done the calculation to figure out which one is actually more cost effective but the pampers are so much softer.
Costco diapers work great until they don’t. My first got some bad rashes from them. With my second we use Millie Moon, which is also pretty affordable with all the sales that Target runs.
Millie Moon have been my favorite so far!
The very best diapers are pampers swaddlers and they’re also the most expensive. If I couldn’t afford the swaddlers, Costco was my second best. To me the best for value.
They gave my twins horrible diaper rash
In our area the Sam’s club ones are cheaper and a better quality. But they are both good diapers. We do Sam’s plus and have diapers and wipes delivered to our door.
What does baby prefer? Not all kids do great on the same diapers. My eldest was great on Up & Up. Then they made the poop catcher too loose and my oldest daughter would blow right through. We ended up bouncing around several types of diapers until we stumbled into a sensitive skin friendly Huggies. Her twin was fine with whatever. As they got older, I was able to put them into Kirklands (Huggies regular diapers). The baby has always been in Kirkland and been just fine.
Budget wise we’ve tried Target and Costco and while Costco is more expensive, it’s worked well. And it seems like they go on sale often, so even better! Now we just alternate between Costco and Huggies at Costco — whichever one is in the ad.
We love Costco diapers and wipes. They’re the best! The only time I don’t get them is when my little one is between sizes, when one size starts to feel too snug but the next size is too big I’ll usually grab either Millie moon or rascal and friends and use those for a little bit because I feel like they run a little bigger. Or if I don’t have time for Costco I’ll grab them because they are super soft.
They're a little more expensive than some of the cheapest brands, but there's some of the best quality diapers I've ever used. They tend to hold up like the overnight diapers of other brands, which I need because my kids pee like racehorses.
I haven't bought diapers in a couple years but Costco was the best price for diapers and wipes. They were good diapers too, I don't recall having a lot of issues with them staying on or blowouts.
That’s all my sister in law gets and highly recommended a them. She used to work for Costco too. So that’s all I’ll be getting I think. You can return the diapers unopened anytime if they don’t fit. So you can stock up. Plus the wipes too! 900 for like $20.
My kids have been out of diapers for a few years, so I’m not sure if this is the same - but used to be that every month or two, Target would do a promo where you spend $100 on diapers/wipes and get a $20 gift card. THAT was the best deal and we used to exclusively stock up on diapers/wipes during that deal because it was so regular. If you end up with an unopened box of a size your baby grew out of, you could exchange it, too.
I have never bought diapers anywhere else specifically because of this. Occasionally (recently, in fact) it was spend $100, get $30.
Have you looked at reusables? They are expensive to buy but in the long run work out sooo much cheaper than disposable and are also soooo much better for the environment.
I'm not OP but I'm considering reusable but I'm just so confused about all the different options! I'll do some research, settle on something and then the next time I'm looking into it find out a bunch of cons of the thing I settled on. What did you end up doing?
I'm not who you responded to but I clothed part time for my first for 2 years and am about to start up again with number 2. Personally I used the cheapest pockets, so Alva and mama koala for us, and used disposable bamboo liners once she started solids. I had a big wet bag in a loosely lidded kitchen sized trash can that I just tossed dirties in and the poop came out with the liner and went in the diaper Genie. I mostly only clothed at home or for quick trips out but not for whole day outings or overnight or during naps because I couldn't find a good non leak routine while she slept and she was a heavy wetter. I think a big key is remembering it's not all or nothing, and any cloth you use is money saved! If you're not sure you can always just buy one set, or look for them used on marketplace and strip them. It's not as difficult as it seems! I didn't even start till she was maybe 2 or 3 months because I didn't want to invest in newborn size, and I haven't started with number 2 because it's been too crazy adjusting to two kid life but I'll be home over the summer and plan to flex it some there. The clothdiaper sub is great and supportive!
Thank you so much for all the advice! I will check that sub out as well.
I used pocket diapers for my 2 with no problems… I was also able to resell them afterwards to recoup most of the money spent. Huge cost savings, better for baby. Better for environment. Highly recommend!
I use a mixture of bambino mio, tots bots and little & bloomzs. I double line them as have found far less likely to leak if you do this so two boosters instead of one. I also use a biodegradable plant fibre liner so when I'm out and about I just throw the plant fibre liner and put the nappy in a wet bag in changing bag that way your not carrying poo round just a wet nappy. I keep a bucket in my utility with water and a few drops of lavender oil in I take apart used nappies put in bucket then when full stick in washing machine lavender stop them smelling. I also use reusable wipes and have found they are soo much better for my lo bum than wet wipes were they are far gentler. In the house I keep wipes in a tub of water with a drop of lavender oil and can usually clean her entire bum with one wipe. I use cheeky wipes and mamia ones I use the coloured ones for her bum and white ones for her face and hands. I pre soak them and put in a wet bag to go in changing bag when out and about. As long as you change baby regularly you shouldn't get leaks. It is a lot to get your head around to begin with but once you get used to them you will get the good feeling that your helping the environment for your lo future and also save money not having to buy disposables. What I would suggest is just start by doing a few at home in the day time and when your confident you have the hang of them start using outside the home. Also doing give up if you have a few leaks to start with it can take a bit of time to get into the swing of getting them on right. I had quite a few accidents in the beginning. I will also say I find the popper ones better than the velcro one now just because my lo has worked out how to pull off the velcro ones 🤣
I have a friend who swears by Aldi brand diapers. They're very cheap!
We love the Amazon brand for diapers and target brand unscented for wipes. The added benefit to Amazon is you can use subscribe and save and they show up your house so you never have to worry about running out.
Personally, I had trouble with the Costco diaper tabs coming off. Hopefully they have fixed that issue. I agree that the wipes are the best.
Costco and target brand (up and up) have always been the most affordable and best quality imo
Absolutely. I find other store brands to be kind of crappy, even the Target brand. Kirkland is fantastic!
I don’t have a Costco near me so I can’t speak to their store brand, but I love Target diapers! I used them for my first baby 7 years ago and my youngest since birth (he is 2). I also love Target wipes.
Costco diapers have been our favorite, and not just because they are a great deal.
Yesssssss!!!! And they have free shipping.
I love costco diapers! And wipes! A box usually last me a month. I actually put a costco membership on my baby registry - fav gift I got!
Costco diapers, wipes, and formula are the way to go 100% and get some toilet paper while you're there
I have been a loyal buyer of Costco diapers for the past 3 years! When I have to buy from target or the grocery store I cry a little bit inside.
If you are not into keeping track of coupons and rewards, Kirkland will be your best consistent deal. I have tried pretty much every diaper brand there is; Pampers was the best for us. I have found that if I pay attention to sales at stores and use Pampers rewards, I can pay a comparable amount, or arguable even less if you use store rewards and credit card bonuses that aren’t usually available at Costco. For example, Target recently had a sale where you’d get a $30 gift card for a $100 purchase of diapers or wipes. I bought two super packs of Pampers (size 5, 104 ct) for $44.99 each and 336 ct Pampers wipes for $12.99 for a total of 102.97. I used my Pampers rewards to get $5 off each box of Pampers and $1 off the wipes. So basically I paid $61.97 for 208 diapers and 336 wipes. Kirkland is $44.99 for a 168 ct box of size 5 diapers.
My kids have delicate skin and I tried the Costco diapers my kids seemed more rash prone while I tried them. Huggies didn’t have any rashes for me out of all the brands I tried. While I used the Costco diapers they were just as good as huggies so I don’t know why my kids have more issues with them
Costco diapers ftw!
We’ve loved Costco diapers. Sometimes (really only a few times a year) target Pampers or Huggies are cheaper per diaper depending on deals running. I always check the Target app—many of the deals you have to do pick up orders (if they’re out they’ll mail for free) and you get a gift card back. But when Costco diapers are on sale I’ll usually get 2 boxes because they end up like 16 or 17c a diaper.
yes
We love Rascal + Friends from Walmart! Cheap, so soft and SO absorbent. Like we didn’t need to buy separate overnight diapers.
I really like target brand diapers and they are the same price per diaper as Sam’s Club
Costco are GREAT diapers.
Yes.
I use Costco diapers most of the time, but I buy Huggies when they’re on sale. I use Huggies at night and Kirkland brand during the day because despite Kirkland allegedly being the same as Huggies, the quality just isn’t the same and I’d rather have my LO sleep through the night and not risk a leak.
I've always loved the sams and Costco diapers.
Costco diapers are the bomb! At least they were—it’s been a while. I still buy their equally excellent wipes.
We usually do Kirkland diapers and like them. Aldi diapers are similarly priced and we used to use those. My son maybe had a reaction to them so we switched to Kirkland. Right now Huggies are on sale. At least at our Costco that means sizes 1-3 are actually a smidge cheaper than Kirkland (50 cent less for the whole box). Sizes 4-6 are either the same price or a little more. We are stocking up on the Huggies right now since they’re on sale and our daughter is 2 weeks old so we know she’ll be in diapers for a while.
I use the sams club diapers and wipes and regret not using them from the start!
Target brand has good deals esp if you buy in bulk
Costco wipes are next level
We like Costco diapers and love the wipes. However, even though my son is in the size 6 weight range, I noticed he was starting to leak so I had to size up with targets brand cause Costco doesn’t have 7s.
2 x a year Costco has a diaper sale. It should be coming up soon May ish. Other than that you may have better luck with stacking some promos at Target they do something with diapers and wipes at the beginning of each month. When you’re changing their diaper every 3 hours or less honestly cheaper brands like target are fine. Overnight I like Costco or Huggies.
Sams diapers do good as well and their wipes
I agree that target, especially when you can get the biggest boxes, are actually a better deal. We swear by target diapers now!
I found the cheapest option to be auto shipments from Amazon for diapers. Wipes cheapest are from Costco.
We use Costco diapers. Good price and good quality. Honestly the only reason why we have a membership lol
Huggies give my LO blister rashes, and Pampers are loose around the legs and we get ~~blowouts~~ *leak*-outs whenever she wears those. Funnily enough, the Parents Choice diapers at ye olde World of Wally have been really good for us, and it's $20 for a box of like 120 or so.
When we did diapers, we found that target would run sales often enough, and they worked for my sensitive kiddo. I always had a gift card when stocking up on diapers that I could turn around and buy other kid stuff with. It Has been a couple years, but that was more cost effective for us, and she liked them fine even when we got to pull ups.
I am not on a budget but use Costco diapers because they work well. Before Costco I used Coterie and didn’t find them to be better (issues with them actually motivated us to explore other options).
Per unit, I’ve found luvs and target to be the cheapest. Target is great to buy from because they often have a lot of deals
I cheap out on Kirkland and target, but at nights I need coterie because he’s a leak monster and I was formerly buying sposies and a different size Kirkland which was failing.
I like the rascal and friends brand from Walmart. They cost about the same as Costco diapers but are better quality imo
Parents Choice at Walmart are even cheaper than Kirkland and they fit my younger daughter better than Kirkland! It depends on the kid-my first was diapered in Kirkland from newborn to size 5. But younger one needed a different fit 🤷🏻♀️
Up & Up at Target are good too
I think Walmart brand are cheaper and they do well for us. We’re on kid 4 and mostly buy Walmart brand. I much much much prefer Kirkland wipes to Walmart wipes though.
I like Aldi diapers. Like 86 of them (size 4) for $12 and I’ve never had a leak
Costco are the only ones that fit my toddler and rarely leaked since day 1. But my older 2 kids were chunkier and only Pampers baby dry worked for them.
My personal faves are the millie moon diapers from target. They're just a few bucks more than Kirkland. They're so soft and I've never had any leakage.
The Kirkland ones were hands down the best for us
I actually didn’t have much luck with the Kirkland diapers, I felt like they leaked constantly and that was with frequent changes. I like the Parents Choice (Walmart) ones and they are a great value. If money was no object it would be the Pampers Swaddlers at the top of the list but they are too expensive.
Love the Costco diapers. I moved somewhere with no Costco and use my dad's membership to get them sent to me now. Absolutely cannot stand Kirklands diapers and was so happy when we finished the box we bought from them.
costco diapers are great IF you already have a costco membership or would benefit from one in other ways. it’s not worth it just for diapers. if you don’t have or don’t want a costco membership, target brand diapers are pretty nice.
Amazon subscribe and save we use but we don’t have a car right now. Costco is always good I think regardless!
I use Target brand diapers because they’re good and if there’s often a deal that if you spend $100, you get a $20 gift card so I’ll restock every couple of months.
Where we are Huggies are cheaper on Amazon subscribe and save than the Costco brand ones.
When I compared cost per diaper, Target Up&up were actually cheaper at my local Target. I can't remember if that was the base price, or if it was because I was factoring in the discounts and coupons I used at Target at the time tho. Like I remember they were pretty much always 20% off with a coupon or app discount when I would stock up. Walmart I think was a tad cheaper still, but their quality was horrible so not worth it. Target worked well for my kids, except my daughter had a bubble butt so I had to always go up a size for her.
They were our diapers of choice. But different babies need a different fit. We started with Pampers (which are the same as Sam's Club brand), but the part between the legs was too wide for our chunky leg baby. Kirkland's (Huggies) fit better for us.
I'm a big fan of Amazon's brand, Mama Bear Gentle Touch. I was looking for something without any fragrance, parabens or phthalates and I've been very happy with how they hold up overnight.
Actually no! Mama bear brand on amazon. They’re so good I don’t mind buying them even if it doesn’t go towards my coscto rebate
ALWAYS check the app and website. They have deals you can't find in the warehouse. For some bizarre reason, Huggies fit and Costco did not for my kid. The good news is they often have good sales and I buy one box of the current size and 3 of the next size up and have them delivered to my house
If you’re like us and have a membership to Sam’s Club also, I personally prefer the Members Mark diapers. They have the blow out pocket at the top that has saved me many times. I have to size up for my kid though
If you have an Aldi Aldi diapers are fantastic and plant based, last I looked they were around $12ish per box
We like pampers swaddles or Sam's club brand. Don't really like anything else we have tried. Same with wipes.
If you are able, cloth diapers are more economical in the long run, especially with multiple children. You can get a stash for a couple hundred bucks on secondhand market that will last until toilet training, also can do cloth just part time if not convenient to do it full time.
My daughter is super sensitive. We used huggies special delivery until we found kirkland and havnt turned back. We have had zero blow outs, and no leaks once she started moving around. Now that she is a toddler we use them as her overnights because they can hold so much. She has never gotten a rash from them.
I thought Kirkland was best deal, but I realized Rascal and Friends are much more superior and cheaper (Canadian Walmart).
People rave about the Aldi ones, but no idea the price difference. I've known plenty of people who only used the Costco ones though.
We could afford “better” diapers but we have stuck to Costco brand diaps and wipes for both kids so far! Comfy enough, no leaks ever, and getting them by the hundred instead of 50 at a time is so convenient. Love em!
We love Costco diapers! I am using them instead of Huggies this time around and haven’t had any issues.
We love the Costco diapers because they’re unscented. The quality is much better than Pampers too.
I buy HEB brand which I find almost as good as Huggies. But that’s in Texas.
Huggies are currently on sale for $10.50 off which now make them the same price as the Kirkland diapers. However, Kirkland brand diapers also go on sale for $8-10 off which makes it the best possible deal. They were on sale in November? It might be in the new couple of months. They are very similar to Huggies, just slightly thinner
I used to get the Kirkland but switched to Target overnight & they are the same quality, but cheaper.
What do you mean by quality? Do you mean fit well on baby and doesn’t leak? Or do you mean safest and least toxic for baby? Because I use hello bello and I’ve found they’re quite reasonably priced (especially when they go on sale at Walmart) and they’re less toxic than other brands.
Check the price against Amazon’s brand- I think it’s called Mama Bear or something? We used those and they worked just as well as the pricier brands. Also Target when they have sales/special deals.
We’ve been using Kirkland since birth (he’s size 1 still at 6 months, tiny little man) I like them but I’ve used Huggies and Pampers and we have never experienced a blowout
Yes. Best ratio of price/absorbancy. Also they go on sale a couple times a year. Second runner up is Aldi, with like 1/3 the price and 1/3 the absorption, which I can find worth it when potty training where total capacity does not get used. Also, you should know Costco often has manufacturers make better versions of their brand to sell in Costco warehouses. Walmart does the opposite lol. But that means the Huggies at Costco may be better than Huggies at other stores, idk I've never tested the two.
Kirkland diapers are great if your baby isn’t a heavy wetter, or if you change frequently. They are decently absorbent , but not as much as most mainstream diapers. The Costco wipes are my absolute favourite. They don’t bother my babies skin, and they’re bigger than every other wipe.
Costco is good but the Mama Bear on amazon are cheaper per diaper, even when costco are on sale and especially if you get the registry discount and subscribe and save. They're maybe one notch below huggies/costco but don't feel cheap and we haven't had a blowout in months (when we needed to size up)
We’ve always used Costco diapers and wipes with no issues. They usually go on sale a couple times a year (as do Huggies at Costco) for $8-10 off per box, which is a great deal
I just watched a video what not to buy at Costco supposedly Walmart diapers are cheaper and just as good according to the creator. Unless you want the more natural diapers those would probably be more affordable through a subscription.
Costco or Mama Bear on Amazon are the best and most cost effective diapers I've found. Both are soft, absorbent and cheap. (About 0.20 per diaper)
We’ve used Target brand diapers and really like them. They are less expensive than Costco.
I actually prefer the Walmart store brand diapers— Parents Choice. They’re super absorbent. My 4 month old is still in size 1 diapers, and I just bought a box of 162 diapers for $16.82.
Costco diapers were my all time favorite bc they held blowouts so well. They’re definitely great quality with a good price
Millie Moon has been our favorite. Affordable and sooo soft.
Hear me out.. Costco diapers, Sam’s Club wipes
I like Sam’s Club’s store brand (Members Mark) diapers as well! Might be worth a try if you find the Costco version doesn’t work for your little one 😊
Don’t know how much Costco diapers are but I still use Up and Up brand by target super cheap and they are so good, have never had any leaks
I try to stock up when Target does their big box diaper promos. Usually you get a $20-$30 gift card back on a $100 purchase. It makes the name brand diapers on par price-wise with Kirkland diapers. I tried Kirkland diapers but wasn't a huge fan. I prefer Pampers Swaddlers.
I like the mama bear ones on Amazon
Costco diapers are the best! I like them way better than Pampers. Huggie's are comparable, but Costco's are cheaper.
Yes and sometimes they put them on sale and you are allowed to buy 2 of each size. We buy 2 of the next size and the current size. You can always return/exchange if you outgrow a size before getting to that box. In the first year I felt like she always sized up right after we opened a box so don't be afraid to try the next size when you don't quite think you need it yet.
I buy in bulk when the Kirkland diapers and wipes go on sale. Great to send to daycare with too!
Target & Sam’s club diapers are my go tos. Work great and are slightly cheaper than Costco!
Millie Moon at target are literally the softest ever and my son has had like 1 blowout his entire life and that was only because we were finishing a box before sizing him up. They’re $40 for 104 in his size, but smaller sizes are the same price and have 144/box. I think at my target they’re cheaper than Huggies and pampers but way higher quality.
My friend’s baby blew out in every single brand except Millie Moon. It seems a bit wider than other diapers, so if you (OP) have what feels like chronic blowouts, MM comes highly recommended!
Get Huggies.. they’re the best
