    I was just wondering what brand of diapers you gals have found to work best for boys. I never had leakage problems with my girls but my boys are constantly leaking out of their diapers. We change them often and have tried just about everything. So far we have found the Seventh Generation and Earth's Best to work the best and I like that they are chlorine free. We usually order them form diapers. com but I rarely find coupons for them and they are bit pricey. Cloth were the first ones we tried and they were a disaster! I am open to suggestions though. I have not had much luck with any generics so if you have found a store brand that is great I would love to hear about it.

    I have been using huggies supreme from almost the beggining. The only time I have found leaks has been on occassion through the night. But it is rare. I started using these because origianlly we used pampers swaddlers and those caused bad bad bad diaper rash.

    we have had great sucess with huggies for our boys..The moms I have asked say that huggies have been best for their boys. I tried pampers in the begining and had leak problems..I don't know if the "fragrance" is a good thing either.

    We used Target brand, and never had any leak issues. Where are they leaking from, top? If so, be sure to point their little penises down while diapering. Also, you could try going up a size, that usually helps with leaks.

    I have two boys and I have used Pampers the whole time for day use. I use the Huggies Overnites at night and they only leak once in awhile still.

    My son used to leak all the time when he was a newborn until I switched to Pampers. It hasn't happened since.

    Pampers worked well for my son when he was a newborn. Now that he is older, we can use any diaper and he rarely has any leaks. What has also helped is making sure his wee-wee is pointed down and also fluffing out the diaper at the bottom too.

    We used Pampers (Swaddlers, then baby dry then cruisers) for mine when they were younger. I knew it was time to move up a size, even if it's just for night time, when they started to leak through. Don't pay any attention to the weights on the box for diapers...I think their a very loose guide. My boys were rarely in the weight range on the diapers (always weighed less) but we wouldn't have any more leaks. Just this weekend, I knew it was time to move baby girl up a size because she started leaking through.

    We used Luvs after they started getting mobile and have had no problems at all.

    BJs, Especially for Baby or Luvs. I've had more leaks in the Target brand.

    I use Huggies. I had some leakage issues when the boys started to sleep on their stomach's during the night. I just went one size up and now they wake up not smelling like pee :laughing:

    I love pampers the best, but with the cost of diapers, I will use whatever is on sale. With that said, I haven't had the babies leak through the pampers once; they leak through huggies occasionally; and they leak through generics more often. I think it's a matter of trial and error until you find what works for your little ones body shapes. In my opinion, all babies are different and I don't think one brand is better than another, it is just that they may fit one baby's bum better than another.

    We do Pampers Baby Dry at home and the BJ's brand at daycare (they change them constantly) and only have an occasional leak. When we have leaks we move up a size. We are going to try out Luv's at home when the Pampers run out since they are cheaper.

    We use cloth in the daytime and disposables at night. Our cloth are bum genius 3.0, which are perfect for both babies, no leakage problems unless they aren't changed frequently enough. We used to use pampers swaddlers before we switched to cloth, and never had any issues with those apart from price. We now use Luvs at night, and all my babies need are one diaper change before bed to last all night without issues. They are reasonably priced too, and the fit is similar to the pampers.

    We've tried a bunch of different brands. Seventh Generation and Pampers swaddlers are the only brands that haven't leaked yet. My boys peed right out of Huggies and Babies R Us brands. I won't ever buy them again.

    It really depends on the baby's shape rather than boy/girl.

    My boy had no hips/butt, pampers fit him snugger and worked better for him.

    My dd has a booty on her, I just assumed pampers would work but nope, huggies is what works for her.

    I'm hoping the twins are shaped similar so I only have to buy one brand, but we shall see! :p
