White Cloud diapers are an exclusive brand to Wal-Mart stores.  My first reaction was wary, since I had heard horror stories of using generic brand diapers.  My son wore these diapers through 3 diaper changes today, and here are the results of my findings!

• Absorbency – Surprisingly the pour test proved White Cloud to be the best among the four brands in pulling away moisture quickly.  As soon as the water hit the diaper it soaked it right up and was dry to the touch.  This is important because excess amounts of moisture against babies skin for any extended length of time can lead to or worsen diaper rash.  It also prevents leaking if liquid is absorbed quickly.
• Leakage – The fact that I change my baby’s diapers regularly combined with the quick absorption of this brand, there was no leaking, and it wasn’t all over his bottom, so clean up was a cinch!
• Comfort – The diapers felt like soft paper to me, but not scratchy.  Plenty of padding in the bottom, though the inside felt like paper as well.  I didn’t notice any marks or creases where the diapers may have rubbed or pinched his skin, and Aidan seemed content and happy while wearing them.  So not the softest diaper in the bunch, but tolerable.
• Fit – The way the sides wrapped around was a little akward.  Honestly I can’t decide if there was too much material or not enough.  Once i figured it out though, it fastened snugly around his waist and didn’t fall down.  It covered his bottom well with just enough extra room.  It fit a little too loose for my taste in the legs, which might have been an issue if he had had diarrhea or if he was crawling.
• Features – I actually like the fact that it doesn’t have well known cartoon characters like Elmo or Winnie the Pooh printed all over the diaper.  Don’t get me wrong, I like Sesame Street and Winnie the Pooh, but some how I think it steals some of the cuteness of a baby just hanging around in his diaper.  The fasteners were more comfortable feeling, so it doesn’t scratch against  babies skin. They felt more like cloth than the rest of the diaper does!
• Cost – About half the price of name brands, so definitely a cheaper way to go.

This brand did better over all than I expected.  We’ll see how it compares to the rest of the bunch.  Be Sure to stay tuned for the results of the other diapers!
