Are Luvs Diapers Any Good?

We've had good luck with Luvs. But if you're trying to save money AND you have a Sam's card (or know someone who does), the Sam's brand (Smiles) was even more leakproof than Panpers, Luvs, Huggies, etc., for us. We just adopted a son, but we're using Pampers because his skin is chafing and they are the softest. But I think Smiles held better. I used to buy Luvs for my daughter when I couldn't get to Sam's, and they did fine.

Another thing I noticed about leakproof-ness is the shape of the child and the shape of the diaper, so what worked for me might not work for you.

I LOVE the HEB brand. They have a couple different ones that vary slightly in price but all are well worth the money (and definately cheaper than Luvs, Pampers, or Huggies. I used the brand names when my kids were newborn and switched when they got a little older. My favorite HEB ones have Shrek on them. We have never had an issue with leaks. Try out a few different store brands and see what you like best. Good luck and happy saving!

I used Luvs after trying lots of brands for my children. They didn't blow out like some of the others did. I felt like they were the best value for the money, hands down.

We use Luvs diapers for our 4 mo. old girl & I like them a lot. We have a 3 yr old boy & we used Pampers w/ him-Huggies didn't work but I never tried Luvs w/ him, but they work GREAT for her - can hold a lot! They are much cheaper and I signed up online to get coupons for Luvs & received 2-$2.50 off coupons right away...not bad to get 50 diapers for $4.47 :) I think if you have a SAMS or COSTCO membership you can try those & return them if they don't work; other than that, I would try buying small pckgs until you find one that fits & is affordable. Good luck!!

We use Luvs during the day and the Huggies overnights, those work best for our 18 month boy. Have tried the Target brand, and the Parent's Choice at Walmart, and they both worked well for us too.

We found pampers did not work for us at all. We use Huggies brand all the time. Sam's Club has really great prices for diapers. http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/search.do?searchtype=sim...
they even carry pampers. I never used luvs though. Nor the Members Mark brand of diapers. I did however use the Members Mark brand of formula. It was the same ingredients (and instructions) as the brand name...i did ask pedi before doing that.

I used Luvs on my first 2 children then switched to Huggies for my other 2. I love Pampers as well but, they don't sell them at Costco. Did you know Luvs and Pampers are created by the same company?

Luvs are actually made by the same company as Pampers. I used Luvs with my son and almost never had leaks in three years of using them. When I tried Luvs with my second child, my daughter, we had too many leaks. The same for Huggies and for Pampers Baby Dry. So we are having to buy the Pampers Cruisers and try to get coupons as often as possible. I'd say try a small package of Luvs during the day and see how it goes.

I used luvs with all 3 of my kids and had no problems. My youngest could only use luvs everything else gave her a rash. Try them and if you don't like them luvs will refund your money.

Loved the LUVS brand, and you can usually find good sales on them in your local ads.

We decided to go with Huggies from Costco as our standard because it was so much easier to buy them once/month in bulk than making repeated trips, but penny for penny, I think LUVS cost about the same.

We used LUVS for day & Huggies overnites for night. Worked great for my son. I personally found that Pampers would blow out on us everytime!

I used Pampers while my son was little, but found once he got to the cruisers I had to find an alternative because neither the cruisers or baby dry fit his butt right and we had many problems with leakage. I tried huggies once because they were given to me and refused to go back to them. So continues trying many differant brands and finally settled with luvs and truly LOVED them. He was able to wear them through the night without any problems and they fit his butt just as I had hoped. I suggest trying them. They are well worth the savings. However I do plan on sticking with Pampers when we have another child until they get a little older and then if we come across the same problem I will probably end up giving luvs a shot again right away.

I used Luvs years ago for my twins and I thought they were really good diapers. I liked that they were priced better than Huggies and Pampers too. Why spend more when you don't have to? Just put the diaper on correctly and there shouldn't be any leaks. We always bought the largest diaper box possible at Walmart.

When both of my girls were small, I used Pampers, Huggies and Luvs. Pampers were my favorite, but the most expensive. I just wasn't a huge fan of Huggies (they leaked). Luvs were a close second to Pampers. The price made them very appealing...and I thought they were a great value. I also liked Target brand diapers.

Honestly.We didnt really care for Luvs.They were fine during the day but at night we needed to use a stronger diaper..Pampers.So the cost actually ends up being the same when you are buying to different kinds of diapers for one kid.We are a Pampers Family all the way.We have 3kids and we wont use anything else now.They smell good,fit good,hold everything well,and they are not that much more than Luvs.You can get coupons from the website Pampers.com :) It really just depends on what you as a parent like :) Hoped this help!

I LOVE LUVS!!!! I used them with my daughter who is almost 4 and am using them with my son who is 16 months. LUVS are actually made by pampers! I have never had any problems with leaking or ripping or anything, I think they are excellent quality! You can't beat the price either! I've found Walmart sells them for the cheapest.

Luvs are ok, but the Target brand is just as good and costs several dollars less. Pampers are by far the best diapers around, in my opinion.

Pampers always leaked on us, i tried huggies and they were no good Luvs are the only ones that were good for my son.

Not in my experience. Pampers is the only way to go (in my opinion). I was given an assortment of diapers, in every brand I know of, at my baby shower. So, I thought I'd use them all... Didn't happen. I would try each brand (other than Pampers) once and throw the rest away. They were all horrible. Huggies and Luvs really annoyed me. Anyway, Pampers is the only diaper that worked for us and the only brand I'll use if I have another child. :)

i personally LOVE the luvs diapers. they are very similar to pampers!

I have used Luvs and and thought they did a great job for both my boys.

They are the same diaper as "Baby-dry" by pampers.. same company & everything.

I found some tricks with any diapers which help..
*if your little one is still onsie age.. a onsie helps keep the top of the diaper and straps in the proper place - they aren't being rubbed by pants all the time.
*At night time - with any diaper kind - if you take one off and find out it's dry.. USE a new diaper anyway and save the 'dry used' one for a in-house day.
*always 'fluff' out the inner leg leak barriers.. it makes a difference - even at pull-up age.

lastly you may find some diapers work for your child better with either pee or poop.. so you could plan your day accordingly and have some less expensive ones for times of pee only and your premium (i consider luvs premium brand) for nighttime and poop time. of course I do realize we can't be exact on this but you know what I mean I think.

ok..
enough from me.. proabably getting off your main subject of cost.. :)

Luvs worked best for my daughter too

Luvs didn't work for us. We used Pampers when my son was first born until he moved to size 2 (since we had been stockpiling them) then we switched over to the Target Brand (Up & Up). They are the best in cost and work great!

I started with pampers , but as my daughter grew & got mobile, her pampers started to leak. So I changed & tried all kinds. Luvs was the only ones that worked. Quality is important to me but I found that you sometimes get a better fit with different brands. For my son, Luvs were awful. I started with pampers on him too and ended using Huggies for the best fit. Hope this helps. Oh. When I was looking to change brands, I would do a diaper swaps with firends so I could try.

Luvs are great....used them with my 5 year old until he got really mobile (Pampers Cruisers were the best fit when he thinned out a little mor) and now I am still using them for my 2 year old.

Luvs are by all means my faves. They run larger so I could use size2 on my size 3 baby for example. And you know, the smaller the size, the more diapers in a box, cost is usually the same for all packages, so it comes out less expensive in a long run. Luvs are VERY soft and thinner than most diapers, they are very durable. I actually just recommended them to my neighbor and she switched to them completely from her warehouse brand because Luvs performed better and came out cheaper per diaper.

It really depends on the shape of you little one's bum! My little guy leaked out of both pampers and huggies no matter what we did. Luvs worked great for us, except we needed scent free because he was getting a rash. Don't know where you live, but Meijer Drybabies were scent free, latex free, and my son didn't leak out of them. They worked the best for us, and they were the least expensive! Just don't be afraid to try store brands, some are awful but we hit the jackpot with ours!

Love them! I used Luvs for my daughter (now 4) and now for my little guy (6 months old). I tried other brands but found they were too bulky or didn't hold up as well or just too expensive. I do like Pampers but I truly feel that I get the same results with Luvs for a much better price. I wouldn't use anything else and I love the fact that I am saving money. I never had had a problem with leaks or diaper rashes with Luvs for either my daughter or my son.

I use the parents choice diapers from WalMart and have never had a problem with them. I used them with all 3 of my boys. $13 for the big box

We used Luvs with my first daughter till we switched to cloth. I never had any issues with them. I think it just depends on how your child is shaped. Pampers leaked like crazy for us. Huggies and Luvs were our best option. I get a TON of coupons for diapers. Look on the manufacturers websites. Lots of times you can sign up for their newsletter and they'll send you coupons.

I love Luvs! We used Pampers for a bit, then tried Luvs and found no difference between the two. So, we buy only Luvs now.

We love Luvs... that is all I used on my kids. I really didn't prefer store brand and I was able to get Luvs cheaper at the military commissary than at Walmart. We weren't able to afford Pampers/Huggies, but Luvs was just as good.

We loved our Luvs :)

Good luck!

Sorry I'm late w/my answer but, my opinion, Luvs are great!!!! I used them w/both my children when they were in diapers. I waited until my first born was about 3 months when I noticed Luvs were cheaper and tried them. One box can hold Niagara Falls!! Luvs did not irritate or cause break outs with either of my kids. Look for coupons in Sunday's paper. Unless your baby has extremely sensitive skin or a skin condition, Luvs should be just fine. Hope it helps w/your baby and your wallet.

Luvs are better than Huggies or Parents choice, I have found that out after much trial and error. I have had no leaking from the Luvs. I say babies are different, so what works for me, may not work for you.

I found that luvs held one pee......that's it, you better hurry up change that diaper before it leaks out. I was busy doing something else, I didn't notice and I had a diaper explosion. They are amazingly cheaper, but only hold one pee. I'm the kind of mom that needs more than that from a diaper. I tried targets, walmarts. I ended up back with what I started with: Pampers Criusers are the BEST!

I have twins and I am not loyal to any brand. I prefer Huggies over Pampers but to save money I buy store brand. Luvs are fine for day, I find they are thinner in padding and don't fit as snug. The best brand I have found so far for the money is Parent's Choice. They seem to be padded more and they contain diaper blowouts fine during the day. I also have used them for nighttime without a booster and they work well. I get a big value box of size 3 with 144 diapers for $18.

We never had any luck, day or night, with Huggies. By far the best diapers we found that never leaked and could hold a ton was the Costco brand generic diaper. Way better than anything else out there. Just by chance I used Luvs for the first time this week as we haven't been to Costco for awhile and they seem to work ok. Target brand also works pretty good. But if your child really pees alot at night, I would suggest Costco.

I used Pampers originally when coming home from the hospital with my first baby. I was totally in love with their "wetness strip." As a first time mom, having the strip answer that question "is he wet?" took just that one thing off my mind and I loved them. But, they were pricey...

Once I got the hang of the diapers, we switched to luvs. They're far cheaper and work like a charm! I've used them all the way up to about 18 months or so... They still work, no blow outs or anything, but they gape a bit at the back and give my son a plumbers crack when he's playing at the playground! lol So, I've switched to huggies cuz they have the elasticized back.

We use luvs, which is actually made by P&G..the company that makes pampers. We have never had a problem with them at all. Funny thing is my daughters' class just did different science experiments, and one was to see which diaper held the most water. Funny enough..it was LUVS. Not really life changing info...but funny! Good luck ~A.~

I didn't have any luck with them. She would leak out the sides of them. Drugstore diapers are pretty good, like CVS and Walgreens and Target.

Love Love Luvs! Best diaper out there. Tried them all, others get saggy, leaky and are not worth the extra money.

For a while I used huggies overnights, they held pretty good.

I have used Luvs and like them better than Huggies during the day. I use a name brand overnight diaper at night like Huggies or Pampers, but to me Huggies get really huge even if he doesn't pee very much, making crawling and walking more difficult. I used Luvs for months, then found that I really liked Kroger diapers, but only the ones here in Tenn. I used Kroger diapers in Houston and they weren't the same. I also got some hand me down HEB diapers and loved those, but we don't have that store here. I called my cousin asking her what diapers she used because they were my favorite of all of them.

Luvs are the best imitation from pampers, they work really good!!!

I have used Luvs exclusively with my youngest ( he is 2 and 1/2 now) I used Huggies with my daughter and cloth with my first...Luvs are awesome and you can't beat the price. I have had NO complaints, if you have a good diaper that starts leaking I have always found going up to the next size always fixed the problem. My 2 and a 1/2 year old wears a size 5 now, I am hoping to be done with diapers this summer = )
Lots of luck!!!

Personally, Luvs didnt work for my girls. I used Pampers as newborn then switched to the Target brand Up & Up. They are sooo good. I had my best friends and sis in law switch over too. And they are less expensive as well.

I use Luvs during the day and the Huggies overnights at night for my 2 year old. I've never had a problem during the day with the Luvs. As a matter of fact just yesterday we were running around all morning and my son wasn't changed from about 9:30 am to 3 pm (running errands and he was asleep when we got home so we let him take his nap) and his Luvs did not leak.

Good luck,
K.

My advice is to just buy the cheapest store brand diapers you can find. None of the big brands are any better than the generics. They just cost more because of all the advertising. If they leak at night, stuff them with toilet paper, or layer in a strip of an old cloth diaper or towel.

The same is true for anything else. If you can get it in a generic version, or a store brand, you're ahead of the game. If you must buy brand names, at least read Consumer Reports for the results of their product testing. You can join their website, and they probably have articles on testing of diapers.

We've always used Luvs and they work great. We used to use Huggies overnights but now that my son is older and not drinking so close to bedtime, Luvs is just fine even overnight.

I had great success with Luvs. We started out in the Pampers more expensive brands and moved to Luvs just before my daughter turned a year old. It depends on the shape of your baby...Huggies never worked for us. Neither did any of the store brands as she was always having some sort of allergic reaction--I tried HEB, Wal-Mart, CVS, Target store brands.

However, while Target very often had some good deals on Luvs, I didn't find so many coupons as they are already quite low priced.

Blow outs happen with all diapers. It depends on your baby's particular patterns.

Don't really favor Luvs diapers. To be honest, we've tried every diaper (w/exception of reusable) and even the Walgreens brand was better. Luvs leak and break and my son had lots of diaper rashes.

No good! No good!

i used luvs on all 4 of my kids because i liked them the best....pampers gave my kids rashes.....one day the store was out of luvs so i had to buy huggies & my husband said "dont buy these anymore they suck"......we had to keep changing the kids & they leaked through them.

You should just try a small package of Luvs and see how they work for your baby. I used Luvs for my first two kids without many leaks, but they didn't work as well with my third, so we use Huggies for her. The best deal I've found without coupons is at Sam's Club; I can get 176 size 4 Huggies diapers for $37.98 (204 size 3, 288 size 1-2). They also carry Pampers, but they aren't quite as good a deal (184 size 2, 112 size 3 for $38.77).

Luvs are great; you just have to get the right size and put them on correctly so that everything is evenly covered.

I see that u have recieved lots of advice already but I can tell ya, I LOVED Luvs diapers. My boys used Pampers brand and huggies and we always had leaky diaper issues. I tried Luvs one time and was hooked! My boys did SO well with Luvs! It was a win win... No leaks and saved some $ too! LOL! Good luck!

The best cost effective diapers a cloth diapers. They are also better for babies health, the environment and your pocket book. There are alot of different types out there that are like using disposables, but you don't have to throw them away. Look into what is actually in disposables that make them super absorbant, you will be surprised.

We use Luvs and they work great. I've never had a problem with blowouts or leaks. I do use a Pampers at night for sleeping, but other than that, we use Luvs exclusively.

I don't like their wipes though, but the diapers are great.

I like Pampers.....no leaks.

My SIL loves LUVS for her boys. For my kids, they never held enough. I was changing diapers so frequently, and the diaper rash was terrible. I've used Huggies, Target brand, WalMart brand, Sam's Club brand, Luvs, and Pampers. Because of cost and how much they hold and no diaper rash, we go with the diapers from Sam's Club. The membership is $40 annually, but we've counted the cost and with two kids in diapers plus getting wipes there, we had a net savings of well over $150 (compared to buying Huggies at other stores)-and that doesn't include the discounts we got on milk, baby food, other types of food, cleaners, etc.
