The disposable diaper situation continues.
Before BM and JW responded to my Trouble With Disposables blog, I purchased Huggies active brand of diapers in Size 5. My son soaked through that variety in less than three hours. Those diapers went back.
As Huggies was sending some coupons in the mail, and I couldn’t find either the Supremes or the Overnights as was suggested by my followers, I decided to hold off purchasing any more diapers.
Instead, I have been putting two Size 3 Pampers overnights on my son. Sometimes he soaks through both, sometimes he doesn’t. And most time, his nursing/drinking habits are the same.
While waiting for the Huggies coupons to arrive, I received an email from the Pampers team letting me know the following:
“Babies can outgrow the absorbency of a diaper before they outgrow the fit. Your son may be ready to move into the next size diaper for added absorbency and protection. The weight ranges on our packages overlap and are only meant to be guidelines for fit. Other things you might consider are:
- Baby's age
- Eating and drinking habits
- Mobility
- Baby's build (for example, a slim child may fit in a Size 2, but may need the extra protection of a Size 3).
“If the leakage is just overnight, you may want to move up in size just for nighttime. With the right size, we're sure our diaper's absorbent padding, leg leak barriers, and snug fit will help keep your baby dry, day and night.”
However, neither Pampers nor Huggies recommended a type of diaper so I am hoping to try the overnight variety of Huggies, in Size 5, and if that doesn’t work, try Size 5overnights for Pampers. And if that doesn’t work, I may put a cloth diaper over top of the disposable and hope for the best.
The search continues.

OK, Huggies SUCK!! I used them a couple of times with the boys only because someone had given me a package, and I HATED THEM!! They do send out a lot of coupons, however, I found Pampers went on sale more often, so it evened out that way. Go for the Pampers. Size 5 or 6. I hadn't realized there was an "overnight" type, but of course it's been awhile since I bought diapers. I know there used to be "Overnights" but they were for older kids who wet the bed. Anyhow, there used to be two types, Baby-dry, and Cruisers. Not sure if those exist still, but either was good, and if E is a mover when he sleeps, you may want the more expensive Cruisers. Good Luck!
