Positives
Softness
Luvs diapers are very soft. Both the inside and outside are made of a very soft material. I would be fine with putting these on My Little Guy.
Absorbancy
Luvs are very absorbent. I did not have any problems with these diapers at all. Even overnight they held everything in.
Price
Prices are for size 1 diapers for equal comparison.
Walmart - Box of 300 diapers for $39.97 = $0.13/diaper
Amazon
- Box of 264 diapers for $34.19 (with subscribe and save, free shipping) = $0.12/diaperTarget - Box of 264 diapers for $34.99 = $0.13/diaper
*Prices reflect the price at the time I checked, they will vary. I am not responsible for difference between these prices and current prices.
Neutral
Fit
This diaper is similar to Pampers in that it is not stretchy around the top edge. Only the part near the velcro tabs is stretchy. The only issue is that these diapers are not as big as the Pampers Swaddlers so the baby may outgrow each size a little sooner than they would with the Swaddlers (the only reason this is a problem is that the diapers get slightly more expensive per diaper the bigger they get, so it is better to stay in the smaller sizes longer). The legs are very stretchy, just like all the other diapers I have tried. And there is plenty of room in the bottom for filling
Deals
If you go to Luv's website you can sign up for coupons to be sent to you. I just signed up so I will let you know what I receive :)
edited to add: I did recieve a coupon for $1 off a package of diapers that I took to target and bought a pack. It came out to $0.11 per diaper so good price. Definitely worth signing up for if you are going to use Luvs!
Blowout Rate
My Little Guy stopped having blowouts before we got to trying Luvs so I didn't get to rate this.
Negatives
Wetness Indicator
Luvs diapers do not have a wetness indicator.
Rewards Program
Luvs doesn't have a rewards program.
Conclusion
I would say that these are a winner. They are a good quality diaper. They are slightly lower quality than Huggies and Pampers but they are definitely a good diaper and worth buying. The positives definitely outweigh the negatives. The few negatives are not really important features at all. The difference in price more than makes up for the slight difference in quality.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your experience. I have not had any problems with these diapers but Little Man stopped having blowouts so I couldn't test that (Not that I'm sorry he stopped :)
