New LUVS Super Absorbent Leakguard review

After three kids I know my way around a diaper! I was offered the opportunity by SheSpeaks to test run LUVS new diapers and I was happy to do so.

Typically, I purchase diapers at Costco in bulk for savings. They only offer their Kirkland brand and Huggies. There is almost always a $5 off a box of diapers between the two brands. My cost per diaper after a coupon is $0.25 ($0.29 without a coupon). Now that my youngest is starting to potty train I will be phasing diapers out but we will still use them at night for just in case until we are confident in night training.


The first thing I noticed with the LUVS is that they have a nice, powder smell. While I find the smell pleasant, I also am concerned with extra chemicals added to give that smell that are not necessary.  I was also worried that the smells could attribute to a diaper rash or skin reaction but thankfully it did not!

These new LUVS super absorbent diapers are supposed to have a night lock feature to keep your baby dry overnight.  They are very thin and not at all bulky.
 

The diapers I opted to receive were size 6, their largest.  My young 2 year old is a big kid so I went with the larger size.  These diapers fit him well, a little long but I know size 5 would have been too small.  He liked wearing the LUVS because they had a monkey on them and he liked to look at the monkey when I changed him.  I did notice that the tabs for the diaper were not the greatest if you had to reapply but they held strong and did not tear....something I have had repeated problems with on Huggies brand.



We never had any leak problems with these LUVS and I was very happy overall with their performance!  Their price per diaper (for a size 6) was $0.27.  That is a good deal when you compare other name brand diapers.  I know I can get diapers from Costco a couple cents cheaper but there are times that I may run out and going all the way to Costco, which is not local for me, would be silly just to save 2 cents a diaper.  I would totally supplement with LUVS and as we move past this phase of life, recommend them to all new moms!
