My baby currently wears Huggies, but I was thinking of swinching her to the Costco Brand ('kirkland') since they are less expensive. Has anyone tried them? I am hesitant to buy a huge box when I don't know the quality.
I have compared these at Costco too and you are getting a better deal to keep with the huggies. If you price it out per diaper in the box, the huggies are more per box but you are getting more diapers in the huggies box. If you do the math, it's actually cheaper to get the huggies per diaper.

I was in the same boat as you. I was worried about trying the kirkland brand diapers because anytime we tried ones other than huggies my son would develop rash or allergic reaction. I must say I am glad I went ahead and tried the costco brand. I actually like the diapers better than huggies. They are absorbent, don't leak, and don't fall off. They are great at night too. My son wears the largest size they have. So I say go for it! I am sure you won't be disappointed.

are you SURE they are cheaper? At my costco, the Box is cheaper, but there are fewer diapers and the per diaper cost works out that the Huggies are actually cheaper. I've used both, as the Kirkland WAS cheaper back with my daughter, they worked just fine, didn't notice much difference between the two. The huggies just seem a little more stretchy all arouund, but both worked fine!

Costco uses other manufacturers to make Kirkland products and then puts the Kirkland label on them. I'm pretty sure Costco diapers are made by Kimberly-Clark--the same compnay that makes Huggies. So you are basically buying huggies at the Costco price.

I've used both but there are less diapers in the Kirkland diapers boxes so I just have stuck with Huggies since the cost per diaper is like 1 cent more? I can't remember but it's close. Either way the Kirkland diapers are nice too, my sister and sister-in-law both use them. I bought them once too and they work well. Remember that this month there is a coupon for $8 off if you buy a box of Huggies diapers and a box of Huggies wipes. I always like those deals so check your coupons! :)
I just looked it up on costco.com The Kirkland's are $4 off with the coupon right now and the Huggies are $8. The prices jumped since I bought them there last. Before the coupons s now it's $45.99 (for 184 size 4- 24.99 cents) for kirkland and %51.99 for 200 size 4 huggies - 25.99 cents). So this month buy Huggies and Kirkland's if you have the coupons and save yourself some money (maybe in two different sizes?) :)
All in all...Kirkland has good diapers too! :)
