Diapers

Wow, never thought that Motherhood can really make someone Auntie-like.. LOL.. I'm beginning to feel more and more Auntie already..

Now whenever I go out, I'll only look at baby stuffs-- mainly KIDDY PALACE.. I can stay in there for at least an hour if my hubby dont pull me out.. haha.. Whenever there is Robinsons or John Little, I'll head straight to the kids sections, the other departments somehow dont interest me anymore.. (maybe the household and bed sheet sections still do..)

Anyway, going to those places are not so Auntie-like.. Going to NTUC or other supermarkets make me feel like one.. I will head to the diapers section and see what brand has offers.. I'll take pictures and note down the price to keep for reference.. the Diapers I'll buy if its no more then $0.25/pc..

Now at the beginning stage, I'll buy whatever diaper on sale within my price range and let Inez try because I want to see which is the best for her. So far, here are those that was "tested" on her:

Pureen: Bought it during BB expo and there was sale.. I dont like it because its too thin. Yes, thin diapers is good and cooling in such humid weather here, but its thin to the extend of not being able to absorb much at all.. causing my LO's butt to be red.. DIAPER RASH!! ARghhh... the only thing i like about Pureen is the tape.. its like velco-type, can re-stick if i stick it wrongly.. (then after that I realised that all the diapers I bought can re-stick.. -_-")

Drypers: We bought the NB ones and NUH also uses the NB ones.. This is so-so.. comparable to Pureen but slightly better.. its also gives my LO diaper rash.. even diaper rash cream doesnt even work..duhz.. No more Drypers for me..

Petpet: Not bad.. Quite good.. Thin and DAMN CHEAP! Its about $0.17/pc. No diaper rash for her.. But the absorbency of the diaper is ok.. better then Drypers la.

Huggies: There are a few types.. I've tried the NB, Dry, Dry Comfort and Ultra.. the NB one gave my LO diaper rash. I almost gave up on Huggies..

Dry and Dry comfort is quite good.. good absorbency.. can be really heavy as compared to the rest of the diapers and its quite thin too..

Huggies Ultra is also good, very good absorbency and its clinically proven to prevent diaper rash.. It does work for Inez.. The only thing is that its quite thick.. so it could be a bit hot for her.. I'll stick to the Huggies if there is offer.. but if not, I'll continue using Petpet.. hehe

Actually, i always wanted to try Pampers because alot of super good reviews on it, but its kinda expensive even when there is offer.. And Mamy Poko.. I really love this brand, tried the samples and thought it is really good and very soft too. but its expensive too, even when on offer..

The next brand I wanna try on Inez is the Goo.n and Nepia.. Good reviews too.. hehehe..

Of course using diapers the WHOLE DAY, EVERYDAY will make me broke.. So in Tamp, my mum will use the traditional napkins.. Got maid so can wash everyday.. that of course prevented diaper rash as we got to change when she pee. That obviously cant hold at all. Only at night, we will change into diapers.. so that she and US can sleep better.. haha

At my own home, we used Moo Moo Kow.. those reusable cloth diapers that can be washed after each use. The absorbency is SUPERB! Comparable to the disposables. No diaper rash too! Each diaper comes with 2 inserts. 1 for NB, another is for bigger children. What I will do is that if she pee but no poo, I will change to another insert and this will allow me to make use of all the inserts I have, rather than leaving it hanging around and use only when she is older.. I really love those and would highly recommend people to buy that. The only drawback is that its actually quite expensive.. $30 a piece and you would need ALOT if you are planning to use it the whole time without disposables. But good investment as it can last you until 1 yr old, until she is potty trained. I think the time frame can cover the cost of the disposable diapers used ba..

I cant be bother to bring out the Moo Moo Kow diapers when we go out because you will still need to carry the dirty ones back to wash..It can really be heavy and bulky if its soaked with pee.. I will use disposables when I bring her out, more convenient.. So in the end, I'll still save $$ and also protecting the environment? Haa..
