First Time Seeing These

[diaperguy]

Went to Walmart and seen size 8 Pampers Swaddlers. I have never seen size 8 here in Indiana. I literally did a double take. Someday I will have to buy some and see what the difference is and how big they are. Thought I would share.

Unfortunately I can't see what weight they recommend for that size, even though I zoomed to 400!  I'd guess off hand probably fit 7 to 10 year old's maybe, but that could be a stretch depending if the kid is on the smaller size.  If you get some, let us know!  You can always use them as stufferes!

LOL!  46+ pounds technically means I should fit in them at 300 pounds!

Only problem with that is at $29 that is $.76 EA. Getting awfully close to the price for actual high quality products made for that sort of thing. My humble opinion at least

They aren't going to fit unless you have a 25 inch waist. They don't stretch like the cruisers do, save your money for something that will fit.

I looked for a smaller package, but that was thing available. Mostly I was just curious about the dimensions.

The last time I got cruisers size 7, they didn't have much stretch at all. Hopefully that was just a bad batch, but I would think that would be the norm now.

I love them... There is a whole album of me wearing them in my profile...

Yeah that price tag made me cringe a bit. If you figure just for example, a cheapo pack of Assurance is $17.00 then add these for stuffers at $30.00. thats damn near $50.00. I can get Abena or Betterdry for ballpark the same price. No stuffers required for me anyways.

What is your waist size? I can't believe they fit

Those are cute! I wonder if Pampers added another diaper size due to (a very, very general) trend of some parents delaying potty training? I recall coming across a few articles a month or so ago about teachers complaining about more kids coming to school not potty trained or older kids still in diapers?

I actually think this is meant as a bit of outreach to the special needs community requests, but they do mention larger children. This is the very bare bones press release they issued: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230622037880/en/Pampers-Announces-Swaddlers-Diapers-Now-Available-in-Size-8

Granted it is case pricing BUT these 2xl booster from XP Medical are in the ballpark and guarantee they will absorb 2 or 3x as much and made for it vs something that doesn't have a permeable back.

That is also a great reason to extend the diaper sizes. Bigger kids need diapers for a wide variety of reasons- could be anything from special needs to struggling with bedwetting to just being a young child who is obese and needs the accomodation of a larger diaper.  Pampers may have intended to provide the answer to the needs of a small segment of their market, but I can see offering a larger size diaper answering a variety of reasons why parents would need larger diapers for their kids.  Inclusivity is always good!

I've always wondered if I could fit in baby diapers

These new pampers seem like a good time to try that challenge. Just sayin'....
