My first child was born in 1995 and my youngest is now 8 months old. I have tried every diaper on the market in the US since 1995, including the military AAFES brand. I have and will always choose Luvs because of its low price, superior absorbency, softness, dependable leak protection and its strong stretchy tabs make the perfect fit. I contacted Procter & Gamble back in 1996 when I noticed that they manufactured both Luvs and Pampers brands. Back then, they were so similar, the only way you could tell them apart was by the design and color of the diaper. Otherwise, they looked and smelled exactly the same. They sell the name "Pampers" and consumers buy into it despite the fact that Luvs worked just as well on most babies. Strangely, two weeks later, I received 2 huge cases of Pampers in the mail free of charge and a handful of coupons. Every baby is shaped differently, some larger than others, but I have found in my years of experience that Luvs is by far the most absorbent diaper I have ever used. When I tried other brands, my baby's skin was found damp during wet changes. When I use Luvs, I find my baby's skin completely dry. We all know how messy poopie changes can be but Luvs does not fail me with leaks like the other brands did. Its all a matter of preference really but any diaper that is not secured correctly and/or is not the correct size, will leak regardless of the brand name. Give Luvs a try because it may be the best diaper choice for your baby too.
