Top positive review

Great value, super absorbent, elastic legs and waist are the same quality as the two big name brand diapers!

January 28, 2018

We've got a toddler and an infant at home and ohhhhh how life has changed, yet again! I'm OK with it now. I'm over my 21+ years but not quite "over the hill". There I was on Amazon doing my regular (and daily) shopping and noticed these "Mama Bear" brand, which Amazon has created. Cool.

I noticed they had a coupon for their diapers which was nice, but I also noticed the prices were right up there with the big two name brands we typically buy. I wasn't scared since Amazon has not let me down yet. So, I purchased a case and they arrived in usual Prime time. These diapers look AND feel just like the two big name brands out there. Everything from the forming elastic waist and leg bands, to the absorbent padding is top notch. The prints and fabric feel is top notch. I'm really impressed. My daughter took to them right away and never batted an eye at night, or during the day, with the change in diapers. This is a good thing for parents who may be concerned with how a new material may impact their child. Absorbancy is great and again, that elastic has prevented a blowout or two already!

I get it. You're skeptical and you should be, as was I. If you're looking at replacing your name brand diapers with these, look for a coupon and give them a try. We are so happy and with the saved trip to the store, we can keep fresh diapers on hand and not worry about when our baby goes from a size 3 to a size 4 since ordering the next size up is as easy as a "one click"!

Update 07-18: My wife especially likes the Mama Bear brand so much that we have now subscribed for simple and automatic delivery of the diapers and the wipes. If you have not subscribed, look into it. It's easy, and you can save another 15%. If you have the Amazon store card, you save another 5%! With those savings factored in, this is a no-brainer!

I don't get anything from writing these reviews other than a bit of satisfaction knowing I may have helped you make an informed purchase decision. If you think I did help you out today, please click the yes button below. Thanks!

Print diapers will stain legs when you use Burt’s Bees zinc oxide

February 13, 2019

The blue dye of the print stained my baby’s skin when I used Burt’s Bees zinc oxide diaper cream.

I have used these diapers for six months now and loved them. My baby has very sensitive skin, and these diapers don’t give him a rash at all! He got really sick recently, and his poops caused horrible diaper rash. So, I had started to use Burt’s Bees zinc oxide diaper cream every time I change him.

I took off his nap time diaper and the inside of his legs were blue! What?! We’ve never had this issue before, and so I’m assuming it’s the combination of the cream, the print diaper, and wearing the diaper for a longer period of time.

I used Burt’s Bees zinc oxide with my older child - who had diaper rash all the time. We used many different brands of diapers (except this brand, as I’m pretty sure Amazon hadn’t started selling them yet), and we never encountered a dye transfer issue from any other diaper brand.

Cute diapers, not for nighttime use, and too expensive.

February 23, 2018

Pattern: BearsSize: Size 4 (144 Count)Verified Purchase

These diapers are not bad, but they're not great and for the price, I would expect them to be great.

Background: My toddler has been wearing either Kirkland or Huggies Little Movers + (same manufacturer) since she was about 6 months old and they fit her really well. She wears them daytime and nighttime and they don't sag or leak. I bought Mama Bear diapers because there was a 20% off coupon, which brought the price level down below that of Kirkland/Huggies from Costco.

Review: These diapers are cute! I like the pattern, my toddler likes the little bears, and I appreciate that they are also available in plain white. That said, they are thinner and not as soft as Huggies. In addition, they sag a lot when they are wet, to the point where they look like they might fall down. It appears they are not as absorbent as the other brands. Because of this, they leak at night. I've had no issues with other brands at night, but we tried these at nighttime for over a week, and they leaked maybe 75% of the time. Other than the sagging they were fine during the day - they did not bother her skin, they did not leak out silicone, and they didn't smell.

Verdict: I might buy these again if I need white diapers to go under white pants or a dress, but I would not buy them for daily use, especially given the price. They are way too expensive for what they are. If they were priced like the Target brand (Up & Up), I might consider these for daytime use - however, they are the same price, if not more than Kirkland or Huggies (and I can frequently get coupons or find these on sale) and not worth the amount.

Didn’t live up to expectations for the premium price tag

April 13, 2018

Pattern: BearsSize: Size 5 (124 Count)Verified Purchase

I don’t write a lot of reviews but felt this was needed as this is a newer product. I’m a mom of 2 that has been using diapers for over 4 years now. Our go to brands are always pampers baby dry or huggies little movers. I saw these and thought heck I’ll give them a try. Even though they really weren’t cheaper than most of the name brands on a subscribe and save subscription.

First appearance: they are clearly made by kimberly clark (makers of huggies), the quilting on the liner and the dots on the front strip. But what they are lacking is the purple Velcro strip that I LOVE on little movers.

We’ve been using them for about a week and honestly I’m not impressed. They aren’t as absorbent as huggies and they sag really bad. Also again the lack of that purple tab makes it challenging for an active 2 year old boy.

The only thing I love is the prints (and the option for solid white). I have always hated the cartoon characters on diapers. But honestly we will be finishing this box and going back to another brand.

Strips of hard plastic randomly in some

August 27, 2018

Pattern: BearsSize: Size 3 (160 Count)Verified Purchase

As a diaper these work really well. I’m giving 3 stars though because in just my first package (of several I ordered) I’ve found torn and sharp strips of a hard white plastic in the diaper. It’s a quality control issue clearly. I have to swipe my hand thru each diaper to ensure it doesn’t have this plastic floating in it which would scrape the baby’s skin. And then I have to scan the floor to ensure it didn’t fall where the baby will pick it up later.

I won’t be ordering these again and I’m sending back the unused packages. It’s a bummer because otherwise it seems like a good diaper.

Not very absorbent - switching back to Huggies

May 30, 2018

Pattern: BearsSize: Size 4 (144 Count)Verified Purchase

I decided to give these a try since they were a little cheaper than the Huggies Little Snugglers we had been using. These are fine diapers and met a lot of our needs (no noticeable scent, soft, good fit), but they are not very absorbent compared to the other brands we've used. At least once every three days the diaper would leak (if not more often), which has never happened with the Huggies we usually use. They also seem to get soggy faster - we use a lot more because the diapers are wet and appear full sooner. We're using up the box but switching back to Huggies after that. The cost difference is about $0.04 per diaper with the Amazon Family discount, but with the additional diapears we're using plus the frequent risk of a total outfit change it isn't worth it.

I think they're worth a try, though. I wish they had worked out a bit better.

It's good. I do like Amazon branded items

February 23, 2018

Pattern: BearsSize: Size 6 (100 Count)Verified Purchase

It's good. I do like Amazon branded items. This is a good more organic diaper IMO like 7th Generation. Sometimes I can find the organic diapers cheaper on sale or coupon in store. So while this is a good diaper.. it's pretty on par with other organic diapers and I can find those other brands cheaper.

Price went up...a lot.

April 6, 2019

Pattern: BearsSize: Size 1 (216 Count)Verified Purchase

Price went up $13 in a week? I’m glad I didn’t “subscribe and save”. Seems kind of sketchy the price changed so dramatically so fast. They are perfectly fine diapers but with the price going up why not just order a name brand with slightly better quality? The first pack I ordered definitely seemed sturdier.
So I thought why not order the 4 pack. Lots of diapers, okay quality, bizarre pricing.

Not for me

June 1, 2019

Pattern: BearsSize: Size 2 (184 Count)Verified Purchase

For some reason I feel bad giving these only 3 stars... I really wanted to like them.

I was on the search for an affordable diaper I can use for my 3 month old during the day to possibly save money so I don’t use the Pampers Swaddlers constantly. I’ve tried a lot (Up&Up, Luvs, Huggies, cloud island, etc) and most of them end up give my little guy a diaper rash or don’t absorb the liquid breastfed poop well enough and leak everywhere. These mamabear diapers are just the same. I didn’t feel like they absorbed the pee and poop as well as Pampers or even Huggies. It definitely didn’t wick away poop moisture from his butt and it often leaked through the leg holes and up the back because of that. And it gave my little guy a diaper rash unfortunately. And I don’t like the design of the front part of the diaper- it’s hard to explain but it’s not contoured to his hips with flaps on the front that would wrap around his waist, there’s just a lot of diaper material that seems to have to be shoved between his legs which seems uncomfortable to me.
Couldn’t even keep using these because of the leakage and rash problem, had to return. For a similar price I prefer Huggies or Costco brand diapers.

Good diapers, variable pricing.

November 26, 2019

Pattern: BearsSize: Size 5 (124 Count)Verified Purchase

These are good basic diapers all around. They’re like any other brand diapers in terms of design and functionality. They’re absorbent, although the outer layer gets a bit frayed (like, the paper gets fuzzy) after a few hours when it’s full. We also never had an issue with leakage or broken sticky tabs like we did with some other brands.

The biggest issue I have with these is the price. That’s why I’m giving only three stars. It seems like they have a price adjustment policy based on previous purchases or overall demand. The price I see on Amazon for these fluctuates quite a bit, getting really low a few months after I switch to other brands, and then soaring once I purchase them and need to order more. Diapers are staples in homes with babies, and I don’t appreciate how they make pricing so unpredictable. Honestly, given the prices I’ve seen of these, sometimes the good Huggies diapers are only a few cents more expensive per count and there’s no reason for me to get these. But overall, I stopped buying these because I just dislike the variable pricing and want more predictability in my diaper expenditure.

Decent diaper but sizing is way off

July 3, 2018

Pattern: BearsSize: Size 2 (184 Count)Verified Purchase

I'm giving these diapers 3 stars because they do the job correctly. After 4 children I know a fair amount about diapers. I've used pretty much every brand, including natural chlorine free, there is. I can understand the Huggies comparison and yes they do perform fairly well in that we've had very few leaks. Here's my dissatisfaction; my very petite, not quite 14 pound daughter is literally busting out of a size 2 diaper. In my humble opinion this is unacceptable. In comparison a Pampers Swaddler size 2 had ample room. I feel like if I don't adjust the diaper perfectly it is just a matter of time before it falls off. In the picture I included her diaper is only a bit full but is literally falling off. I'm so tired of paying top dollar for something and being ripped off. Stop making things small just so we have to buy the next size. I really liked the natural aspect of this line but I'm really turned off by this. If you have a chubby baby I'm not really sure these would work at all. I believe you'd have constant blowouts and pee drips.

Soft & Cute

May 11, 2019

Pattern: BearsSize: Size 6 (100 Count)Verified Purchase

So I've been using these diapers for about a month now. They are super cute and not a whole lot different from Huggies. I should start out saying I'm using these with my 4th child. He is 1 and my oldest is 11. With my older kids I used Luvs. When it came to my daughter I mainly used Huggies. I did try Pampers (to me it didn't hide the urine smell) and I tried Luvs (who apparently changed their diaper design. They were noisy and smaller than they use to be). Normally I subscribe to Huggies but my shipment wasn't coming in time so I decided to try Amazon's brand.
Pros:
Super cute
Soft
Urine indicator stripe
True to size
Not as expensive as Huggies

Cons:
Doesn't hold as much.
The diaper tears when you try to take the tabs off.

I do like these diapers but I'm probably going to switch back to Huggies. They come with more in a box and I don't have to go through as many. If I didn't have so many kids and have to watch my budget as much I'd stick with these.
