The new box of Pampers Cruisers we just opened are different than the ones we’ve been using for the last however many months. They have this new meshy lining, and are nowhere near as soft as before. I suppose they thought they were improving them – or maybe they were just cutting costs. But after 24 hours in these diapers, Carrie has her first real diaper rash. She’s currently sleeping in one of the new diapers, and I’m really worried about what her poor little bottom is going to look like in the morning.
I tend to be very loyal to brands, but I’m going to have to go out tomorrow and buy her some different diapers. I briefly thought that maybe we could switch to cloth. But while I love the idea of cloth diapering, the execution…well, I just don’t think I’d really want to wash diapers, especially the stinky ones. So it’s off to shop diaper brands again, which is too bad because we’ve been happy and generally leak-free with Pampers up until now. I’ll probably call and complain to Pampers too, but what are they going to do, send me coupons for more of their rash-inducing diapers?
Add this to the list of things I never realized I’d spend so much time worrying about, until I became a mom…
I really like Simply Dry (the Tops brand). They rarely leak (except overnight when you get close to the upper weight limit) and are much cheaper than the other brands. Huggies were the worst- always leaking. Good luck!!
