Nobody likes a kid. FTFY

Worst thing ever is a kid with swamp ass on a plane with pop. And its not your kid.

Change my mind.

A dog... with swamp ass... drinking pop... telling you incessantly that it's never been a better time to buy and/or sell.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am planning to buy individual packs to figure out which one we prefer.

Why? There's so many free samples to get online... diapers and all sorts of other stuff in welcome boxes too.

Use burner email addresses and send to all friends and relatives that don't mind. You'll be good for the first 2 weeks of life
Also where they ask your expected date, set it for earlier. Some brands don't ship until a week before your set date and that's no good if kiddo comes early

Dammit, this cheap Asian hack is 5 and 3 years too late! This is brilliant!

Maybe I’m out of touch but in the grand scheme of things diapers are nowhere near a big enough cost for me to put that much effort into…

I wouldn’t personally bother with buying different types to “see what you like”.

You will stop giving a fuck about that sort of thing after the first 5 changes. Aka a day.

I agree with putting in that much effort to save maybe tens of dollars. 0% worth it.

I disagree with all diapers being the same. There are definitely differences in the way they fit, feel, etc. Does it matter? Sometimes. e.g., if something makes your kid rashy, it matters haha.

[killramos]

Maybe I never had an issue because I always just bought decent diapers?

We will never know.

Different kids fit different diapers. It happens.

My wife insisted on (modern) cloth diapers and they worked really well, but she was the one doing all the disgusting laundry for it.

The biggest benefit for cloth IMO, was that they are huge, so holding an infant sat on your arm is so much easier.

This is true, my daughter used to always blow out or almost blow out the Huggies. Pampers seemed to have more capacity to contain pee pee and poo poo.

Wife willingly took a bullet there.

Of all the disgusting shit that you deal with as a parent of an infant, washing cloth diapers isn't that high on the list.

Not only is it more work, and more yuck, it's also more expensive than normal diapers. Fuck that.

I could talk about diapers for about 7 beers if anyone is interested.

[taemo]

we preferred huggies wipes than pampers as they were thicker
pampers swaddlers were our go to
all through amazon

also storage bins as tubs instead of using the whole tub, we started with a 19L bucket when she was over a year and now 60L as a 4 year old
