Diaper Wars Wipes Edition: WaterWipes Review #WaterWipes #IC #ad

“This post was sponsored by WaterWipes as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.”

As many of you know I am pretty picky about diapers. I have an entire series comparing different diaper brands. However, as picky as I am about diapers I've never been that picky about baby wipes. When I had my first I just found the sensitive skin wipes that were the cheapest and have stuck with that brand for almost 4 years.

The last couple years I have been trying to increase the health of my family. One of the things that I have done is working on eliminating as many man made and toxic chemicals as possible. I have been using homemade laundry soap and tooth powder. I make the majority of our food from scratch. And we recently switched to cloth diapers for the children. I will admit that the main reason for switching to cloth diapers was the cost factor. With 3 in diapers, the cost of disposables was killing our budget. But I also appreciate the environmental and health conscious side of cloth diapering.

One thing I had never considered a health thing before was baby wipes. To be honest I never even considered the fact that wipes had ingredients. I have always bought the sensitive skin ones and made sure that they were perfume free and alcohol free. So if they are free of things then they must have something in them; but I never wondered what was in them.

When I finally looked at the ingredients I found a long string of unpronounceable words. I never imagined that there would be so many ingredients in wipes. I have thought about using washcloths and water, but even with using cloth diapers, cloth wipes seem inconvenient. I use a diaper sprayer for the poopy diapers but I don't want to spray down bunches of wipes. I may get there someday, but I'm just not there yet. That's where WaterWipes comes in.



WaterWipes are baby wipes that are completely unique. What makes them unique is that WaterWipes  only have 2 ingredients (besides the wipes themselves :)): 99.9% purified water and 0.1% grapefruit seed extract. You get the naturalness (yes, I just made up that word :)) of washcloths and water but the convenience of a container of wipes.


Pros:
  • Only 2 ingredients! 
  • Man made and toxic chemical free!
  • They are very durable. I asked my 4 yr old to try to rip them and they didn't come apart.

  • They stay moist well. Because the top opener is a sticker (see below in the cons about that) it is not easy to leave sitting open (which is a weakness of mine :() so the wipes don't get dried out as quick. I read in some reviews that the water might settle to the bottom sometimes but if that happens and you find your top wipes to be dry all you have to do is turn the package over and squeeze it a little bit to allow the water to redistribute.
  • They are very soft and smooth.
  • They clean poop off well. Trust me, with 3 kids in diapers I get plenty of chances to test that. And these do the job well.
  • Good for cleaning faces and hands. I admit I have used other brands of wipes on my babies faces and hands when I needed to. I have been uncomfortable with it because of the ingredients but didn't have another option. Now I have another option!
  • The wipes are not connected. I know some people don't like this, but I don't mind it. 
  • Available in stores. WaterWipes can be found in many stores, including Meijers, and online. Check out their store locator to find where they are available near you. I recommend calling your local store to make sure they are in stock before going. 



Cons:

  • The package does not have an easy open top. It is a plastic sticker that you peel back and replace. It is completely able to be sealed but not quite as convenient as the hard plastic openings that I am used to. Also my husband had a hard time figuring out how to open them. Since we have used the same brand for the last 4 years he didn't know that were other opening styles available. If I hadn't been watching he would have ripped open the package which is  not good because putting the wipes in a different container will eliminate the sterile environment.

  • They cost more than other brands.
  • They don't last as long as other brands. Because they don't have any man made chemicals in them they don't have any preservatives. Unopened packs can last as long as 15 months, but once the package is opened they recommend using them up within 1 month. There are only 60 wipes per package so using them up within a month is not a problem for me, but if you do not use very many wipes it may be a consideration for you.


Conclusion
These are good wipes. I like them as wipes. I like the ingredients. The price isn't my favorite. But these are great wipes!

If you want to know more about WaterWipes you can check out their Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest pages. And again you can check them out at Meijers or find out where else to buy them on their store locator page.

Diaper Wars Review 7: Huggies Little Movers


Positives

Softness
These diapers are very soft. Huggies is really good about making their diapers soft and snuggly. They are flexible and move well.

Rewards Program
These are a Huggies product so they fall under the Huggies reward program. Here is the info on the program.
Huggies does have a rewards program.You earn points by entering codes from diapers and wipes, and other Huggies products, and inviting friends (by the way send me your email address if you want an invitation, you get 10 points for signing up through an invitation). Apparently you can also get points for reading articles and writing reviews but I'm not sure how that works because I haven't done it. As far as the rewards go you can get shutterfly products like photo books and photo prints, magazine subscriptions, and things for your children.

Deals
Huggies offers coupons on their diapers pretty regularly. I have seen coupons for little movers many times, and often if you pair these coupons with cvs sales you can get these diapers for the same or less than the cheaper brands.
If you order your diapers through Amazon make sure that you check www.amazon.com/coupons before you order because they have coupons you can use on Amazon orders  for several diaper brands including Huggies Little Movers.

Fit
These diapers are extremely stretchy. Both the back and around the legs stretch well (while still being soft) so they fit very well and comfortably.





Neutral

Absorbancy
These diapers are about average absorbancy. They didn't have any major leaks. They held up as well as many of the other brands.

Blowout Rate
I didn't have a chance to test this, because he didn't have any poops that could have been blowouts.

Wetness Indicator
There is no wetness indicator, but that is fine because at this age you can generally tell if the diaper is wet.


Negatives

Price
Prices are for previous brands are for size 1 diapers for equal comparison, however Little Movers only comes in sizes 3 and above so these prices are for size 3 diapers
Walmart - Box of 186 diapers for $47.17 = $0.25/diaper
Amazon - Box of 72 diapers for $18.78 (with subscribe and save, free shipping) = $0.26/diaper
Target - Box of 186 diapers for $47.19 = $0.25/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.



Conclusion
These diapers are very good diapers. If you can find them on a good sale with a coupon they are worth getting. I personally wouldn't pay full price for these diapers, because it isn't worth it. But they are definitely worth buying on sale (there are some brands that I will not buy even when on sale). Overall a good diaper.

Diaper Wars Review 6: Up and Up (Target Brand)

Sorry this post is so long in coming. I actually started testing the diapers several weeks ago but then I started a round of antibiotics and discovered that me taking antibiotics meant Little Man got really bad diaper rash no matter what diapers were on his bottom. So I waited until I was through with that and tested a whole package after that to make sure that I gave up and up a fair trial. So here it is :)



Positives

Price
Prices are for size 1 diapers for equal comparison.
Walmart - Not sold at Walmart
Amazon - Not sold at Amazon
Target - Package of 50 diapers for $6.29 = $0.12/diaper (Size 1 of Up and Up is only sold in the smaller packages but it still beat all the other brands in price)

*Prices reflect the price at the time I checked, they will vary. I am not  responsible for difference between these prices and current prices.


Absorbancy
Up and up is great on absorbancy. They work about as well as the name brands I think. They hold the moisture in, and I have not had any problems with them even over night. These ones I trust both day and night. Luvs and Pampers Baby Dry I stopped using over night and only used during the day.

Softness
Up and Up is not super soft like Little Snugglers and Swaddlers, but it is still pretty soft. Like I have said before softness is important to me and these diapers I am comfortable with putting on Little Man.

Fit
The back has a little bit, not a ton, but a little bit of stretch. The sides have plenty of stretch. The bottom has plenty of room for filling. These diapers are pretty decent sized so they should fit Little Man for a decent amount of time (it helps that he is super skinny and has a tiny rear end. He is now 15 lbs and according to the diaper weight sizes he should be in size 2 but these still fit him).






Neutral 

Rewards Program
Up and Up does not have a rewards program.

Deals
I have not seen any specific coupons for up and up diapers but any generic target coupons you could use for these diapers.

Blowout Rate
I tried a few of these out a few months ago at the end of his blowouts and they were not bad on the blowout rate. When I tried them again this time he did not have any blowouts, so I think they are pretty good, but I don't have any definitive data.


Negatives

Wetness Indicator
Up and Up does not have a wetness indicator.



Conclusion
Up and Up is definitely a winner. It is a good quality diaper (not on par with Snugglers or Swaddlers but still a good quality). And it is definitely a good price, it is the cheapest of all of the brands so far. This one I find trustworthy both day and night. Definitely worth the money!

Diaper Wars Review 5: Pampers Baby Dry



Positives

Softness
Pampers Baby Dry diapers are pretty soft. They are not quite as soft as the Little Snugglers and Swaddlers, they are about the same as Luvs, and they are way softer than Parent's Choice. In any case they are soft enough that I would put them on My Little Guy.

Rewards Program
These are Pampers diapers so they have the same rewards program as Swaddlers. Here is the information about it:
Pampers has a great rewards program. You can get points by entering codes from diapers, wipes, and other Pampers products. They also release codes frequently for bonus points. And you can get 310 points for free just for entering these codes. The points can be redeemed for pampers diapers and wipes as well as Shutterfly books and prints, magazines, and items and toys for your child.

Deals
Like I said about Swaddlers: I have heard that Pampers coupons are harder to find and put out less than Huggies. I do not know about this since I just started looking for these coupons recently. Right now there are coupons for $1.50 off Pampers available on most major coupon sites, including on amazon coupons.com

Neutral 

Price
Prices are for size 1 diapers for equal comparison.
Walmart - Box of 276 diapers for $47.19 = $0.17/diaper
Amazon - Box of 276 diapers for $44.83 (with subscribe and save, free shipping) = $0.16/diaper
Target - Box of 276 diapers for $44.99 = $0.16/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.


Fit
This diaper is similar to the other Pampers in that it is not stretchy around the top edge. Only the part near the velcro tabs is stretchy. And like luvs 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 (again 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, and there is plenty of room in the bottom for filling. In fit these are almost identical to Luvs.




Negatives

Absorbancy
Pampers Baby Dry are somewhat absorbent. They held the liquid in even all night. They did perfectly fine during the day, but after the first couple of nights I stopped using them at night and just finished using the package during the day. These also gave My Little Guy a rash when I used them at night.

Blowout Rate
My Little Guy had 1 small leak in these. He didn't have any other poops that would have come anywhere near a blowout so I don't know if it would be a regular problem or not.

Wetness Indicator
Pampers Baby Dry does not have a wetness indicator.



Conclusion

I would say that these diapers are ok. I don't think that I will ever buy them again. They are almost identical to Luvs except Luvs can be worn overnight. They skate by on the Pampers name, but they are no better than the cheaper diapers. There are definitely better diapers out there. If I was going to spend more than the price of Luvs I think I would go ahead and pay the higher price for the Little Snugglers or Swaddlers.

Diaper Wars Review 4: Luvs




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/diaper
Target - 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.

Diaper Wars Review 3: Parent's Choice


Positives

Price
Prices are for size 1 diapers for equal comparison.
Walmart - Box of 200 diapers for $23.88 = $0.12/diaper
Amazon - Not sold on Amazon
Target -Not sold at Target

*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

Wetness Indicator
This wetness indicator is fine. It is a little different than Huggies and Pampers. It starts out as little blue pictures in a line around the diaper and then the pictures disappear when they get wet. It is actually a little freaky to see, and if you forget that you are watching for disappearing instead of changing color you may see a white diaper and think it is clean. This is not a problem when the baby is older and filling the diaper well, and you can tell by the feel that it is full, but it may pose a problem in the early weeks when you are still figuring things out. One good thing about it is that the indicator extends all the way to the top on the front and back of the diaper.


Deals
I don't think I have ever seen coupons for these, but according to this site there are coupons out there. If you are interested I guess you could sign up for their emails. Anyone else know where to get coupons?


Rewards Program
As far as I can tell is that there is no rewards program. If anyone knows about a rewards program for them please comment.

Blowout Rate
My Little Guy is not doing blowout right now so I did not get to test this.


Fit
The fit on these is ok. They are a little smaller than the other diapers. The back is stretchy like Huggies Little Snugglers, but it is not quite as stretchy. The front has absolutely no give to it. The sides are stretchy. The bottom has some extra room for filling, but not a lot.





Negatives

Softness
Parent's Choice is not very soft at all. I have to admit my first instinct when I opened the package was to return them. They are very stiff and I wouldn't want them anywhere near my skin. I felt kinda bad putting them on My Little Guy but I wanted to give it a fair trial for this review. Turns out I should have listened to my first instinct.

Absorbancy
Well, Parent's Choice does hold the moisture in , it did not leak out of the diaper, even over night. However they don't hold the moisture in the diaper away from the baby's skin. I only used these one night. When I got him up in the morning his skin was very wet from all the pee in the diaper. The other diapers we have tried did not have this problem so I know that there are better diapers out there. These diapers actually gave My Little Guy a rash (his first diaper rash in his whole 4 months of life) so I really don't like these diapers, obviously he does not have super sensitive skin or he would have gotten a rash before now. I guess if you don't mind changing diapers every 3 hours all night or using a different brand over night then you could use these, but I am going to pass.


Conclusion
These diapers are horrible. I will never use these diapers again. Actually I will be returning the package that I bought. My first instinct on opening this package was to return them but I fought down the urge so I could give a fair trial. The fair trial ended when they gave My Little Guy a rash. It took almost a week to get rid of that rash even using a very good diaper rash cream. I only used 3-5 of these diapers and I refuse to use any more. The only good thing about them is the price. These cost a litttle more than half the cost of Huggies and Pampers but I would pay the extra if I had to. I think the other off brands will be better too.

Diaper Wars Review 2: Pampers Swaddlers





Positives

Softness
Pampers Swaddlers are very soft. The outside is a soft quilted looking material. The inside has a soft underneath layer and a soft holey over layer. All in all definitely something I wouldn't mind on my skin, so therefore something I don't mind putting on My Little Guy.

Absorbancy
Pampers Swaddlers are very absorbent. I have never had any problems with these diapers leaking pee. Even when My Little Guy sleeps 10- 12 hours and fills up his diaper with pee it is all caught in these super absorbent diapers.

Wetness Indicator
This wetness indicator is perfectly decent. It works the same as Huggies Little Snugglers. It starts as a yellow line down the front and back of the diaper, which turns blue when wet. This line extends further up on the front than the back. I have not noticed this recently because My Little Guy is pretty good at filling his diapers these days, but in those first couple weeks when he was having troubles with this I thought that Pampers Swaddlers wetness indicator was not quite as sensitive as Huggies Little Snugglers indicator.



Deals
I have heard that Pampers coupons are harder to find and put out less than Huggies. I do not know about this since I just started looking for these coupons recently. Right now there are coupons for $1.50 off Pampers available on most major coupon sites, including on amazon coupons.com

Rewards Program
Pampers has a great rewards program. You can get points by entering codes from diapers, wipes, and other Pampers products. They also release codes frequently for bonus points. And you can get 310 points for free just for entering these codes. The points can be redeemed for pampers diapers and wipes as well as Shutterfly books and prints, magazines, and items and toys for your child.

Neutral

Blowout Rate
I started using these diapers about the middle of My Little Guy's blowout phase. He had been having a blowout every day and when I switched to Pampers he had a blowout every couple of days. I am not completely certain if this is because the phase was slowing down, or if these diapers are actually better at holding it in.

Fit
I am going to call fit a neutral on this one. These diapers are not very stretchy. The diapers themselves are a little bit bigger than the other diapers so they still fit growing babies, but it lacks the stretchy waist band that is sported by some other diaper brands. The tabs that hold the adhesive strip are a little stretchy but that is all the stretchiness around the waist. The legs are still stretchy, and fit very well. There is plenty of room at the bottom to fill.




Negatives

Price
Prices are for size 1 diapers for equal comparison.
Walmart - Box of 234 diapers for $47.19 = $0.20/diaper
Amazon - Box of 234 diapers for $44.83 (with subscribe and save, free shipping) = $0.19/diaper
Target - Box of 234 diapers for $44.99 = $0.19/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.

Conclusion
Once again a very good diaper. The only true downfall is the price, I will be reviewing the off brands soon and we will see if the price is worth it or not.

Diaper Wars review 1: Huggies Little Snugglers




Positives

Softness
Softness is important to me, I don't like putting hard scratchy diapers on my baby's soft smooth skin. My motto is if I wouldn't want it against my skin I don't want to put it on My Little Guy. Huggies Little Snugglers are very soft and comfortable. Both the outside and the inside are very soft.

Absorbancy
I had wondered about the absorbancy of Huggies because of all of the trouble I was having with my little guys diapers leaking so I went off Huggies for a couple weeks and then came back to them after trying a few other brands. I have now seen that Huggies Little Snugglers are very absorbent. They can hold a lot of pee in them. They do hold up over night even when my little guy sleeps 10-12 hours.

Fit
These diapers fit well. There is a very stretchy band on the back so they can fit snugly around the waist without sacrificing comfort. The legs are also stretchy so you can easily adjust how tight the diaper is. There is a decent amount of extra room in the bottom of the diaper to hold in baby's excretions.

 Stretchy band in back
Stretchy sides
plenty of room in bottom

Wetness Indicator
I love the wetness indicator on these diapers! The way that it works is that there is a yellow line on the outside of the diaper extending from the front to the back. When the diaper is wet the line will turn blue. It is easy to read and shows up even if there is only a little wetness. That is pretty important in the first few weeks when you don't really know what you are doing and have a hard time telling if your baby has peed and you are supposed to be recording how many times they have peed every day. I definitely recommend these diapers for the first month or so with your first child.

Deals
I see coupons for Huggies all the time.Usually for $1-3 off. On amazon right now there is a coupon for $2 off Little Snugglers. For those who don't know (I didn't know until today, I looked it up for this post :) ) if you go to www.amazon.com/coupons you can find manufacturer coupons for use on Amazon.


Rewards Program
Huggies does have a rewards program.You earn points by entering codes from diapers and wipes, and other Huggies products, and inviting friends (by the way send me your email address if you want an invitation, you get 10 points for signing up through an invitation). Apparently you can also get points for reading articles and writing reviews but I'm not sure how that works because I haven't done it. As far as the rewards go you can get shutterfly products like photo books and photo prints, magazine subscriptions, and things for your children.

Negatives

Blowout Rate
Well for a while there I thought these diapers would get a bad rating for blowout rate because he was having at least 1 blowout every day, but about halfway through testing he stopped having blowouts. So I'm now thinking that the blowouts may have been a phase he was going through. I am not sure if other diapers would have done a better job of containing the blow outs or not, all I know is that these diapers did not contain them much at all.

Price
Prices are for size 1 diapers for equal comparison.
Walmart - Box of 168 diapers for $33.50 = $0.20/diaper
Amazon - Box of 136 diapers for $28.99 = $0.21/diaper
Target - Box of 168 diapers for $34.99 = $0.21/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.


Conclusion

Overall not a bad diaper, it is name brand so it is pricier than the off brands. Is it worth the money? We shall see as we look at how it stacks up to the competition.

Diaper Wars


When I was pregnant with my little guy I wanted to know what the best brand of diapers was so I could register for that brand. So I did some research on the subject and what I found was that there was no best brand. Some people absolutely loved a certain brand and would only buy that brand, other people absolutely detested that brand and would only buy another brand. Some people bought and used whatever was cheapest. The thing I came away with was that every child and family is different and you have to find out what is best for you and your little one. Well this was entirely unhelpful as far as registering but it did give me an idea for an awesome baby shower present. There were 3 other girls at my church who were pregnant at the same time I was so I bought 1 pack each of several different brands of newborn diapers and divided them up between myself and the 3 other new moms. (I also wrote verses and encouragement on the diapers so we would be encouraged when doing the dirty work those first few days, and I included a pack of sensitive wipes) It was a pretty good gift and well received, but unfortunately did not give me the desired results of knowing which diapers would work best for my baby. The reason for this was that my little guy was born 2 weeks early and it took him a little while to start pooping and peeing like he was supposed to. He only had 1 poop in the first 2 weeks home and when he peed it was just a tiny little amount (yes I talked to the doctor and we were keeping an eye on the situation). So anyways I used the variety of diapers those first few weeks because they were open and I didn't want to run the risk of him growing out of them before I could use them. So because there was barely anything in his diapers when they were dirty I didn't have much to base my evaluation on. I ended up deciding that I liked Huggies the best because the wetness indicator was the easiest to read and most accurate. This was important to my sleep deprived brain. Well time went by and my little guy got much better at eating and so therefore better at filling his diapers. A couple weeks ago I noticed that I was changing at least one blow out diaper every single day. This seemed a little much to me so I began to question whether I was using the best brand of diapers for my little guy and if my sleep deprived mind's random choosing of Huggies was actually the best choice. So I decided to redo my evaluation. Over the next couple weeks I will be posting my evaluation of several different brands of diapers including the name brands (Huggies, Pampers, and Luvs) and a few store brands (Parents Choice, Up and Up, may do a few others, we shall see). I will be evaluating for softness, absorbancy,  fit (for body shape comparison m little guy is 4 months old. He wears size 1 diapers and size 3 mo and 3-6 mo clothes. He is long and skinny - 25 in long, 12 lb 13 oz), blowout rate, price, deals available, availability on Amazon (Amazon mom has some of the best deals around, may do a post on that soon) and any other criteria I feel is worth mentioning. I hope this info helps you as much as it does me. Feel free to comment and let me know if there is any brand or criteria you want me to add!
