The Great Diaper Experiment: Pampers

pampers

First and foremost I have to warn you that I'm slightly partial to Pampers.  I have been from the beginning.  Not entirely sure why, but they seem to work best for me and my son.  So I will try to be as objective as possible when reviewing this brand!  Pampers is owned by Procter & Gamble, which manufactures a very wide range of products we use everyday, from toothpaste to dog food.  My first impression of Pampers was softness.  They used Pampers in the hospital when my son was born and they felt like cloth, inside and out.  This could be why I'm partial to them as well, since it was … [Read more...]
