Baby Basics Diapers: A Less Expensive Alternative That Works

One of the many costs that comes with having a baby are diapers. They are one of the few products that you need from the moment the baby arrives and for many years to come. Parents change thousands of diapers before their kids are ready for the potty. As the mom of three kids, I have bought my share of diapers and recently tested Baby Basics diapers on my 3 month old daughter. Baby Basics are created by Supervalu and are available at Acme, Albertson and Shaw and other stores. The Baby Basics diapers have a soft paper cover, a double layer of elastic around the leg openings and attach with two stretchy fasteners to the front of the diaper. The design on the size 2 diapers includes green and purple stripes with a pink bunny and the words “B is for Bunny” on the front and a second bunny on the back.

While the most important factor to me when buying diapers is cost, absorbency and a good fit are also important. After all, the cheapest cheapest diapers are not worth the cost if they are constantly leaking and forcing you to spend more money on laundry detergent. Baby Basics are comparable to that of the brand name diapers with a stretchy waistband to fit my baby well. As far as absorbency and leak protection I had no complaints. We didn’t have a single leak when my daughter was wearing these diapers and which included overnight as sleeps for a twelve hours stretches. With other diapers we have tried we have had leaks out the legs as well as up the back so clearly the elastic legs and waist on these diapers provide good protection. Best of all is the cost of the Baby Basics diapers. At approximately $6.99 for their jumbo pack, these diapers were significantly cheaper per diaper than other store brands that we have tried.
