My DDs have always been very sensitive to just about everything! I've tried other brand diapers Huggies leaks for me when they lay down I personally think they were made for boysMy friends with boys all swear by them but they leak for me so thats the only reason I dont use Huggies. Ive tried store brand before and my daughters all have broken out with them same for wipes so I just decided Pampers all the way and never had a problem with them. My coworker however swears by Target Brand diapers she brought me 2 to try out. Anyone else have sensitive skined babies and had problems with the diapers giving rashes? Anyone have a breakdown of the Target Brand Diapers vs Pampers on price per unit?? Ive never shopped worrying about the price per unit but I need to budget better and would like to incorporate that into my shopping.

I don't know about the price breakdown but I do know that the target diapers that I got for the shower I had to use up - one of the longest couple of weeks!!! Leaked every single time. In the end I simply gave away the rest and moved on. Just did not fit right. And because of all that I have never tried again.

Both my girls have sensitive skin. I had no problems with the Target brand, but they only wore those during the day. They wore Pampers at night.

I love Parent's Choice (Wal-Mart brand). We've used them on our boys and girls and had no problems with leaking. With the name brand ones that we were given at showers for all, and did solely use with 1st as we thought they were the best, we found that different brands fit each kid differently. So sometimes you have to find the right fit for them as well as find something that their little tushes won't be too sensitive for.

I've never had any Target ones so I don't know how they are.

I know a lot of people that say tat they aren't "too good" for cheap brands but I think that there's no comparison to Pampers. You ussually have to change the cheaper ones more often so there went the saved money! I never tried Target brand though. I will be testing them out though to see how they do with my little pee-pot

I personally don't find that to be true with the Parent's Choice diapers. They hold up very well and I've used them on my kids from newborn to around 3 years old when they potty train. No leaks day or night! But I will say that we tried the White Cloud once and although I've heard some say they liked them, I thought they were horrible. So sometimes your experience with one of the cheaper brands can influence you on them all.

I did some more online searching looks like the Target Brand per diaper cost between 10-14 cents! Pampers Cruisers are about 23cents Pampers Baby Dry are about 21cents, I say about because I always have coupons I have 2 of these Target Brands in my hands right now they feel alot like Baby Dry they make that plastic noise as does Baby Dry its really probably just me but that noise bothers me not that I hear it but it just seems like it would be uncomfortable for DD. I was a Pampers snob with DD1 & 2 and well pretty much have been with DD3 only because the rashes that have occured venturing out of the brand names have been a pain to get rid of we had to get prescription strength rash cream after using a friends store brand scented wipes on DD But I need to be more cost effeciant I will definatly report back I plan on letting DD3 sleep in the Target Brand diaper tonight *putting on my brave face*

I tried the Target brand and I did not care for them. They leaked and I had to change ds more often. I like the CVS brand much better. He has sensitive skin and I have never had a problem with them.

Target leaked everywhere for me as did Parent's Choice. DD uses Pampers as she is not bothered by them and they don't leak. Also with the Target diapers if she pooped in them and it was not changed immediatly( I mean even in five minutes) as she walked it was falling out of the diapers. The half a pack I had left went to the garbage. Seventh Generation also broke her out in a rash, too.
