Pampers Baby Dry- Better than Cruisers!

As an avid user of Pampers Swaddlers and an admitted diaper snob, I was very upset when my little boy grew out of this particular type of diaper (swaddlers only go to size 2).I naturally thought I would graduate to Pampers Cruisers regardless of the expense involved and had blind faith that they would be the best diaper out there.However, in an effort save money, I decided to try a few different brands of size 3's to see if my" Pampers premium diapers are best" theory held up.I decided to try both Huggies "Snug & Dry" and Pampers lower-end brand "Baby Dry."I am SO glad I did!The Huggies were not a hit from the get-go.They felt papery and cheap to me and the tabs were not very stretchy at all.I was very excited to get back to Pampers even if it was the lesser model. I wasn't expecting a lot from the Baby Dry and was pleasantly surprised after opening the package.The diapers are teal blue and white which is non-offensive to my little guy. They had "caterpillar stretch tabs" which make them fit well around baby's tummy.The legs holes also had a good fit without being so tight as to leave red marks.The diapers also had that familiar Pampers smell (like baby powder) that you either love or hate.I happen to love it!They were more "papery" than the Swaddlers though.After getting through my first pack, my most major complaint was that I like plain white diapers and not colored ones.However, I had no complaints at all about effectiveness. No leaks and no blow-outs, even overnight! Still believing that the Cruisers would be better (they were more expensive...how could they not be?) I purchased the Pampers Cruiser next.They were good diapers....the stretchy tab was stretchier than the Baby Dry version and they had the soft mesh liner.But for the price difference I was actually less than enthused about the Cruisers.Not to mention they are also papery and a bright purple. I am slightly uncomfortable with seeing my boy in all purple (picky...I know!)My conclusion:the difference in Pampers Baby Dry vs. Pampers Cruisers is minimal and does not justify the price difference.I'm sticking with Baby Dry!
