Reviews?

So, I am starting to think this may turn into a blog of reviews... at least for a little.

As I mentioned in my last post, I am trying out different diapers. I tried the Kidget Diapers from Family Dollar Store and while they were softer than many (more of a fabric feel on the outside), they didn't hold overnight and my sweet girl has had a rash since we put them on her. I will say that they are true-to-size though and seem to fit well. They are bigger in the waist than the Pampers Cruisers, but they were still tight enough for my slim girl. What they are lacking is the piece that keeps moisture off the baby's skin. I think this may be something only Pampers has. At least from what I have found so far. I feel I can now check this one off the list.

I am now trying out the Target Up & Up Brand of diapers. I have read a ton of reviews on all kinds of diapers and it seems that many people have a problem with the pastel blue and green polk-a-dots on the outside. Here are my thoughts on that. Who cares? Almost every diaper has some kind of pattern on them and they are going to show through fabric. Everyone knows that baby's and toddlers wear diapers, so I really don't care what the diaper itself looks like. Now on to the diaper appearance and performance. I have not yet used it over night, but from first glance the construction and feel look exactly like that from the Family Dollar Store. I have a feeling they will perform about the same. The waist is about the same size as the Kidgets and again, the Up & Up are true-to-size. My sweet girls still has a rash, but I will continue to use these until this small bag is gone. I will just put Aquaphor on her tush.

Now onto Aquaphor. If you haven't hear of this product or used it, you need to go buy it and make it a staple in your home! I think I could also write a blog about diaper cream reviews since I have tried them all.... including prescription. I can honestly say that nothing works like Aquaphor! And we use it for everything. My older daughter used to have THE worst diaper rashes. Her skin is so very sensitive. After trying every cream and seeing the pediatrician for a prescription that didn't work, we tried this. It cleared up overnight!! We also used it on the face (cheeks, nose and mouth) when we lived up north to block wind and cold. Worked like a charm! I use it on my dry feet and hands overnight and by morning, you wouldn't know I had dry feet or hands. I use it on my lips when they are chapped too. When my children get little chapped places on their fingers or face, I put it on and everything clears right up. It is a bit expensive, but well worth every penny. If you have a membership to Costco or BJ's, go ahead and splurge on the giant container. We had one on each floor of the house and in the girls' room. It lasts forever since you only need to use a little.

I will continue to post on diapers as I try them, and I think I will begin posting on other things too! Please let me know what you are wondering about. Maybe I have already tried something or am about to and can let you know the verdict! Today I encourage you to go out and find some Aquaphor. I now live in the south and never have super cold weather, but still use Aquaphor daily. Buy and enjoy!!!!
