Walmart Parent's Choice
Real Canadian Superstore Teddy Choice (regular or supreme)

Equate are alright. The fit and I haven't any leaks, but they just seem too flimsy. I prefer the Cozies found at WM in my area, since they seem to fit better (I have twins with two different body types). I have not tried the Parent's Choice ones yet. I am huge fan of the Teddy's Choice. Both versions work the same IMO, the Supremes are just a bit softer and fit a bit tighter to the body. We don't have Safeway out in my area, but I found that whoever makes the TC diapers also supplies other grocers with their store brand diapers, as well as Zeller's store brand. There is only a slight difference in price between retailers. But the Superstores will have the bigger count packages.

For DS's first six months I used the Walmart Cozies. I just LOVED them! Then, after six months they just seemed too small.

I've tried the equate ones they were ok, i didn't get around to parents choice ds was Pt'd by then :P i do like their wipes though FWIW.

I've tried teddy choice, they were ok too but up here too tough for availabilty.

Some seem to like TRU's..never got around to trying them tho ;)

We used the Safeway diapers once we discovered how good they were. I then found the Superstore ones to be virtually identical (except the print). The Shoppers Drug Mart ones are the same too. I think many of the generics are made by the same company. Now that I have tried them, I wouldn't hesitate to use them as my primary brand (DS is thankfully out of diapers).

Hi

Can anyone tell me how the Teddy's Choice Supreme's compare to the name brand diapers like Huggies and Pampers? We've been using the Huggies' supreme and the Pamper's swaddlers (both supreme diapers) but we are thinking of trying the Teddy's Choice since they are soooo much cheaper.

Any help would be appreciated.

My daughter is 6 months

Thanks

I found them okay, as well as the Kirkland brand (Costco/Price Club), and Wal-Mart (can't remember the name). Honestly though, I preferred the Pampers ones for its ability to stay dried longer and 'leak-proof' for my dd (not for ds though ;)) But I found all the less expensive brand okay although they would work for some people/kid but not others.

You might just buy a smaller package to try out and see if it works for you or not.
