What kind of diapers do you use? Any advice on fitting and sizes would be great!?

My 13 mo daughter is in the pampers cruisers right now. They seem to absorb well, and very strechy. My only problem with them is that when I close the tabs they seem to be down too much and leave marks on the top of her thigh. I may need to change to the next size, but she isnt quite into the suggested weight for that size, and they seem to fit everywhere else. She is tall for her age so maybe her torso is to long for that size. Any advice would be great. Thanks a lot.What kind of diapers do you use? Any advice on fitting and sizes would be great!?
i swear by huggies diapers!!! that is the only brand i would use. i always had problems with the pampers. it wouldnt hurt to buy a package of the bigger size. it could be that you are making the sides too tight, but more than likely she is probably ready for the next size up :). my son is also tall for his age, the weight on the packaging isnt always the right size to fit your child.What kind of diapers do you use?

Best diapers all-around.Experts conclude that Huggies diapers are tops when it comes to fit, dryness and fastener quality, and they are a bit cheaper than Pampers. Parents also prefer regular Huggies over Huggies Supreme, which have a different type of fastener. As with all disposable diapers, some parents report occasional leaks.





Store-brand.Reviews and parents say it's a good idea to try a cheaper store brand before investing in pricier name-brand diapers -- that's a strategy that can save you $200 a year. With a wide, soft-stretch waist, secure-grip stretch tabs, a cloth-like cover and an ultra-absorbent core, experts say White Cloud diapers resist leaks well.





Newborn diapers.Pampers Swaddlers come in three sizes to fit newborns and babies up 18 pounds. Parents like their Grow-With-Me fit with super stretchy sides and soft overlapping tabs. There is extra padding in the back, since these diapers are meant for inactive babies who spend more time on their backs. There's also a fold-down front section to accommodate a newborn's sensitive navel area.





Older babies.Reviews rank Pampers Custom-Fit Cruisers as number one in leakage prevention, dryness, and fastener quality. These are made for older and more active babies (16 to about 35 pounds). Reviews recommend them for babies who are prone to leaking. Although these diapers do best in tests, other diapers, such as Huggies and White Cloud, do nearly as well for less.





Training pants.Also called pull-ups, this type of diaper helps with toilet training. GoodNites get rave reviews on Epinions from parents They are made of flexible material, are easy to put on and off, and the sides are easy to tear, making them easy to remove without taking the child鈥檚 pants off. Unlike the other pull up brands, GoodNites come in extra large sizes, handy for kids who are having a hard time with potty training.





Eco-friendly diapers.Many parents are fans of these diapers despite their cost. Seventh Generation diapers are chlorine-free (chlorine bleaching, used in most mainstream diapers, produces the pollutant dioxin). Seventh Generation diapers are also fragrance free, latex free and hypoallergenic. Many parent reviewers say these are the best diapers ever, not just in the eco-friendly category. But some also say that these diapers don鈥檛 have enough absorbency in the larger sizes and that the sticky tape is a bit too sticky.





Experts say no diaper can be absolutely leak-proof for every baby. Still, you can hedge your bets by choosing a diaper with the following features:





Newborn diapers should have a notch for the umbilical cord





Elastic leg bands


Elastic waistbands


Absorbent cores


Breathable covers to keep baby dry


Diapers with adjustable tape or Velcro fasteners.


Reviews say that fit is the most important consideration in avoiding leaks and ensuring comfort. Match your baby's weight to the package sizing. Brands can vary with respect to size and weight parameters, so if your baby wears a size two in one brand, he may wear a different size in another brand.





As far as saving money, experts recommend trying a store brand diaper first. If a store brand works well for your child, there is little point in spending the money on more expensive diapers. In addition, buy in bulk. Experts say you'll pay less per diaper if you buy the biggest package available.
I used White Cloud until size 3 after that they started to leak. Huggies became my all time favorite(not the huggies supreme), I tried and used Luzs some and liked those(they have that nice diaper smell from years ago), The diapers I used before potty training were the Parents Choice(Walmart brand). They are less than $6 for the small pack. I really liked the Parents Choice.





I tried Pampers on a few occasions and everytime they leaked, they didn't conform to my childs body and pretty much just sagged but to each his own.





If you like Pampers and they work for you as you said then try 1 size up. They might seem to large at first but she will grow in to them.
My son is the same way long torso, we use Pampers Feel N Learn....Although you can not put them on like a diaper but like underwear....


He hasn't gotten the Feel and learn down but I love them and they don't leave any marks or hang in anyway.
I am using pullups with my 2 yr old right now. They seem to work great. She is also very tall for her age. In the 75th percentile! And I don't have any problem with them not fitting anywhere. Give them a try.
My 4th child is turning 1 in about a week so I Know diapers.LOL. NE way I always go ahead to the next size. I rather thay be a little big and me have to pull the tabs closer together but is better than it leaving marks on their little Jelly Roll legs. And it can rub their legs raw right there also. I also have a 2 yr old and we have always bought just 3s since my youngest was about 6 months old.That way thay both could wear them insted of buying 2 diffrent sizes. A 3 is very versital. but if that is to tight then I would goahead and go to a 4! or what ever size is next. My 2 nd little Boy was in a 4 by the time he was 13month. He was a rolly polly!
I use Luvs. My son is in Sive 5 and they work great. No leaks and they fit him the best. For a pack of 60, I pay just over $12.00.
I have 3 kids and thought Pampers Cruisers were the best I found. Best cheapest diaper is White Cloud. Try the next size up, it sounds like she is too ';long'; for the size she is in now.
for my 12 month little brother my mom buys huggies!
I use Pampers Cruisers as well. My daughter can wear both size 3 and 4 right now, but the 4s seem to come up very high on her front. I've been using the Pampers Easy Ups right now as we're getting closer to potty training. Maybe trying a different brand of diaper in your current size?





Good LucK Mom!
huggies supreme! ;-)
