Now my little girls like scented bath products too, but I find that the adult stuff is not gentle enough for them and they tend to use too much if left to dispense on their own. The American Girl line is almost as expensive as the adult stuff. So I went to Wal-Mart to seek an affordable solution to my delima and came accross this wonderful product. It's made by Johnson's and has the no more tears formula so I know it's gentle enough for them. But foremost, It is extremely affordable and I have wound up with a few dozen bars for just the tax alone. We have also tried the no more tangles spray and it is an excellent product for comb out of small knots and tangles in their hair too. Even though I could fill a small island with my smell good stuff, I find myself sneaking to use the buddies stuff too! Keep your eyes open for coupons in this product cause they ofter =free (well except for the taxes of course)...

I have gotten my money's worth in coupons out of the first 3 issues I received , and have found myself hounding additional copies at my local wally world to stock up on some terrific bagains to keep and share. If that wasn't enough there are some super savings/ bugeting articles availble and some awsome fashion tips for a mom on a budget. All the great fashion do's of pricier mags, but shows you how to get that fashionista look off the rack at places like Wal-Mart and Target instead. Lots of cooking tips, organizational ideas, and parental advice too round out the wealth of knowledge offered in this fantastic periodical. I couldn't imagine anyone being disappointed with ALL this magazine has instore for YOU. Nor, could I imagine any reviewer giving less than 5 stars to this...

It hurts my back after about 30 min.  I prefer a hip carrier, they are more comfortable and more trendy too. However,my DH absolutely loves is bjorn and pretty much this was the only way he would carry the babies. He likes that it's handsfree so he can play his 360 while our little one is happily smuggled to his chest.We purchased one brand new for DD1 that got handed down to DD2, we then gave it to a friend. We bought one for DS from a consignment shop where it will go back to when we are finished with it. We cringed at the price when we first bought it (about $90) but since we know for a fact it would outlast 3 infancies it would be a good buy new if you plan on having 2 or more kids or plan passing it on to a friend or family member. In our so disposible world it's nice to know there are sometings still made with quality and the bjorn carrier happens to be one! As long as you use this for shorter trips you...

Since their primary function is to keep poop contained, and believe me they do an outstanding job , I will give these 4 stars. Another complaint would be that I don't like the way they smell when wet. But considering that is the time to pick these, that nasty smell does function as an indicator that baby needs a change and therefore probably will have fewer diaper rashes etc. My last complaint would be that Kimberly -Clark (the maker of Huggies) puts out better coupons than Proctor and Gamble (the maker of this product). I have found however that these are on sale more often therefore better spreading savings accross for all consumers including those who are not avid couponers, like myself. I have been able to pick up some jumbo packages for under $5 plus tax which is my target price for a pack reguardless of brand. Overall although I have primarily listed complaints here I am satisfied with the...

I am a mother of 2 girls ages 5 and 3, and had never tried this brand with either of them (pretty much stuck with Pampers). Well since they both have the same manufacuter I thought I would give these a shot for home use. They are nearly the same diaper as Pampers baby-dri but with a cheaper outer cover and tabs. The only time we have experienced leakage is when we jumped in size so we'd get that nasty shot up the back. I think the newer version with bear-stretch may be the solution to this issue but haven't tried those yet. I will be buying a package of them though 'cause they just sent me a coupon in the mail for $3 off. I now prefer Huggies overall, but these are great for days when we are at home and am super glad I purchased two mega packs in every size 1-3. Hope I can find a similar deal next year when I suspect my guy will move up to 4's ++. I will buy... Tue, 20 Nov 2007 02:12:32 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Luvs-Diapers-review-24d92 owenmomof3 3
