I belong to a Freecycle.com group and another woman sends me her points, so they stack up quickly! For those who don't use the points, you can ask them to save their numbers.

I saved for about a year until I could get the photo book to record my daughter's first year. This year the Oprah book offer came out through Snapfish just before I hit the 100 pt mark at Pampers so I used that for her 2nd year book. Now I'm thinking I'll save my points until next year for her 3rd year book! Unless of course something more appealing appears or they threaten to take the program away. I love this program.

We hate Huggies diapers because they always come undone. Can't bear to pay Pampers prices, and have been completely happy with store brand cheapies for all 8 babies! However, I am a complete Huggies wipes snob :) This is a funny thread! We hate Huggies diapers because they always come undone.

Everytime I've used Pampers on my boys they'd wake up with wet sheets and diaper rashes. We primarily use cloth, but when we use disposables, the only ones weI'll use are Huggies Supremes. We haven't had luck with anything else. Isn’t it funny how different things work well for different folks? Everytime I’ve used Pampers on my boys they’d wake up with wet sheets and diaper rashes.

It saved a lot of money and I was a die-hard promoter of cloth diapers. Then I had a second child. With our second, cloth did not work AT ALL. We tried many different kinds and ways and it just didn't work--the diapers broke her out like crazy and were forever leaking, she was miserable, and I was so frustrated about it. I wanted so badly to use cloth and I just couldn't make it work. I finally realized how silly I was being: using cloth diapers doesn't always work for everyone and I'm not a failure as a mom if I don't use them! :) And so I ditched that bright idea and switched over to disposables. And honestly? I've been much happier about it--once I got over my initial guilt. Maybe I'll go back to cloth sometime in the future. But for right now and the foreseeable future, disposables are what work for us. And I'm completely okay with that! Jessica: Yep, we did cloth with our first–pretty much exclusively.

Since we started cloth diapering our second and our first is now potty-trained I forgot the points I had accumulated. I got on the site this afternoon and cashed them in for a Shutterfly collage poster which will be a Christmas present for my parents as well as the photo prints package which will be a gift toward my in-laws. Awesome! I was having a hard time trying to figure out what to get all of them on our budget and this solved the problem! =) I’m so glad you mentioned this!

Hate to be a cloth snob, but I'm surprised that as a money saving mom with a child who has sensitivities you haven't taken the dive into cloth diapering - frugal, eco-friendly, no harsh chemicals for their sensitive bums, and you don't have to worry about entering points into anything to $ave, $ave, $ave! Have you tried cloth?

My girls are skinny and the Huggies seem to be a snugger fit, I think Pampers are roomier for chubbier babies. But, once you get past the exclusively breastfed stage, I find Target brand or CVS work fine. Costco diapers seem to me equally as good as Huggies for any stage.
