Looking into diaper options

With my first two I just used the regular diapers from the store but it's amazing how much the price of diapers has changed in 5 years. So I was looking at what it would cost for me to get store diapers vs. home delivery through The Honest Company. If you bundle with The Honest Company they say you'll save $20/ week and after doing the math I'm convinced. Has anyone tried this company's diapers? How do they measure up to Pampers/ Huggies/ etc?

I don't know anything about those brands, but Amazon Mom is supposed to be good. And the warehouse stores (Sam's Club, etc.).

I registered for a lot of diapers (cases of them, because you never know!).

I had my kids in 2003 and 2006, so they are pricier now, but the way I look at it: Everything is pricier now. But our paychecks are also more now, so it averages out to be the same.

For disposables I just get a big case at BJs.  They usually have $5 off coupons each month so I get a big box of Luvs for $25 which if I'm remembering correctly comes out to .18 a diaper for size 5 so small sizes would be even less. When DS was little we CD at home so I'll be doing that again to save some $$ since I have it all already.

I use targets up up diapers and have been very happy with those. DS just turned 2 and I've been using them since he was a couple months old and no complaints!!

My diaper of choice is Huggies Little Movers/Snugglers, but they're expensive.

I'm okay with using generics and have had good luck with Target brand, as well as the grocery store brands.

I don't know anything about The Honest Company, so can't help you there. Just wanted to say that generics work well for a lot of people, and are maybe 60% of the price of the more premium diapers. I have a friend who couldn't use generic - they all leaked for her - but it's worth a try.

We do cloth diapers. Our system is a hybrid of cloth/disposables from g-diaper. We learned that generic infant sized prefolds fit in g-diaper's covers, which has saved us a ton of $. Prefolds cost about $2 each. (g-diaper brand cloth inserts cost $6 each). We bought 3 dozen at birth and haven't had to buy more since (baby is now over 1 year). The g-diaper covers cost around $15 each, but can be washed with the regular laundry. We have bought 10 in each size, and are on size L now (S, M, L, etc). One cover change daily, or when baby has a big blowout. The covers last about 1 week before we have to wash them.

When we go out, we use the g-diaper disposable inserts. They're flushable and compostable. They run $15 per pack. I love that they're eco friendly.  If you prefer, you can go that route and only use the disposable inserts with the covers. As I mentioned, the covers can be washed with regular laundry, so there's nothing special to do if you choose that route. 

We love this system of diapering! It feels good knowing we're not putting more plastic into the landfills, and the flushable aspect of the disposables makes things easy when we're out and about.

I currently use Target's Up & Up and I really like them.  They are cheaper per diaper than the cheapest one at my local warehouse store (BJs).

Amazon Mom! That's what I'll be using as people have said it much cheaper than in store. But for brand, I'll experiment with them to see which one fits my LO best.
