It goes without saying, but diapers are an expensive interest. There are reusable cloth diapers, of course-- but for many of us we lack either the interest in them or the privacy to clean them properly. And so for those of us without the spare cash for any middle-shelf diapers, let alone the premium ones, we're left with the cheap kind. But, even then, there are good generic diapers and there are bad generic diapers. So, I figure that we should have a thread for generics.
I can't say I've ever tried them, but I've heard that Assurance -- the Walmart brand -- are the best among cheap diapers. They're moderately absorbant and the tapes aren't incredibly terrible. Then there are the CVS and Walgreens brand, which are passable, but that's about it. And as for the very low-quality ones, I'd say that the worst diaper I've ever tried was from a brand called Leader. I've only ever seen then at a local pharmacy, so I guess they're not exactly prevalent, but they were exemplary of just how bad cheap diapers can be.
So, what other brands are there out there? Are any of them particularly noteworthy, in either an "avoid these like they were the plague" or "hey, these actually aren't too bad" sense? Is there any way, apart from the obvious use of booster pads, to make generic diapers any better?
