There is nothing worse than waking up in the middle of the night to a diaper that has failed its job, and completely soaked your newborns sleep sack and crib sheets. That is why I decided to test out out a few different brands on my baby to see which one really does work the best. Pampers Vs. Huggies was a must- they are brands that seem to have an endless competition against each other and strong supporters who carry determined opinions of the opposing side. Before having a baby, I didn’t have my own preference of either brand but was most familiar with Pampers at the Daycare that I worked for. Pampers are also what were given to us at the hospital when our baby was born. Huggies were mostly gifted to us, but I also collected a few through free samples. Hello Bello Diapers on the other hand, came into light when I was scrolling through my Facebook feed one day. I got an Ad for Hello Bello diaper bundles, fell for the cool patterns, and I’ve been buying those ever since. A few weeks ago though, I was probably changing a diaper when the thought came upon me, which of these diapers prevents the most leaks, are the leaks worth the price, and which ones are the most comfortable for my baby? So I made a chart with the prices and durability of the diapers all mapped out. Scroll down to check it out!
