UPDATED in 1st post... PSA Regarding Pampers Cruisers/Swaddlers with Dry Max

Swaddlers Sensitive Update:
Well, I received my shipment of Swaddlers Sensitive from Diapers.com and I am sad to say that they DO NOT have the mesh lining either. Dry Max is in full effect. I guess the review I had read on their website was for an old box. I am so bummed! We'll see how DD#2 does with these but I think I will be switching both DDs to 7th Generation. Damn you Pampers! Damn you!! Chat Icon



If you are like me and several other moms I know, you HATE Pampers new Dry Max diapers. Gone are the mesh liners in the Cruisers that were soft on babies' skin and also did a great job in holding all pee and poop inside, not to mention it kept diaper rashes at bay. After writing a letter and getting a lame response from Pampers, I was on a quest to find an alternative for DD#1. I think we've settled on Seventh Generation, but I have to try the next size up to see how they fit. Much to my chagrin, when I went on Diapers.com to place an order, I saw that they are using the same crapppy Dry Max for Swaddlers too!! W.T.F!!! Chat Icon What can I do for DD#2?

After a little searching, and reading some reviews, it seems that all hope is not lost!! The Swaddlers Sensitive have the cotton mesh liner in them! AND they are now offering more sizes- 1 thru 4! Chat Icon Chat Icon The only caveat- I am hoping that the latest reviews are not for an older box received. Chat Icon Just thought I'd share since I know many of us are pisssed off at Pampers for changing over to the cheap and flimsy Dry Max in Cruisers.

I haven't tried the new ones yet but for all the people who hate them, have you contacted Pampers to tell them they suck? Just curious! You never know if everyone hates them, they may go back to the old versions!

me too, I tried Cruisers first but didn't like them because of that mesh liner, it stuck to DS's skin. Tried the Baby Dry and never looked elsewhere.

Yes! I sent them a long email telling them that I was a loyal customer and have two DDs in diapers right now. I explained that DD#1 has sensitive skin and the new Cruisers (they were putting the Dry Max diapers in the old packaging for months now) have been giving her chronic diaper rashes, much like I found with Pampers Baby Dry. I told them that I was disappointed that they changed their product to a much flimsier and substandard item. I mean, HELLO... who cares if the diapers are thinner or not (which is one of the so called advantages they are pushing)!They are diapers!! Not friggin maxipads! Babies are supposed to have bulky bums. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Their response was basically like, sorry you don't like them but too bad. I'm so annoyed over this change! Chat Icon

I wish I could use these! DD was getting diaper rashes in these too. Cruisers with the mesh was the only one that didn't give her a rash! Chat Icon

Oooh really? Maybe I will try them! I had tried a few brands and ended up throwing away abput 15 diapers of one type! Chat Icon I do not have the money to be throwing diapers away, KWIM? That is great that I could bring the BJ diapers back. Thanks for the tip! Do they run similar to Pampers in sizing?

Re: PSA Regarding Pampers Cruisers/Swaddlers with Dry Max

I find it SO weird that they went and messed with a good thing.

I just bought 3 huge boxes of Swaddlers from someone on Craigslist for DS, now I'm doubly glad I did, because they're the "old style".

I'm a huge fan of the Huggies Pure & Natural, maybe I will buy those for DS when he is born. Such a shame that Pampers changed the Swaddlers. Chat Icon

yes, very similar to pampers.
the only difference i noticed is that pampers have separate sizes 1 and 2, BJs combines them into 1/2.

Re: PSA Regarding Pampers Cruisers/Swaddlers with Dry Max

We never had a problem with DD#1 peeing through diapers except a couple of times when she slept 12+ hours overnight. Well she peed through one of the new diapers this morning. I just bought two cases too. I might have to try to find something else too.

They still have the old ones at BBB in Westbury. I think I am going to go back and stock up. The reviews on the new ones are really bad.

Do they really? The box that I am using now for Jack is the same Cruisers box but the diapers themselves are totally different. I may need to open up a box or two to make sure. If that's the case I will absolutely stock up on them. HATE the new ones.Chat Icon

They do, but the size 7s that I have for Jack are the old boxes but different diapers (meanwhile I just read online that size 7s don't have the dry max so I'm not sure WTH they did to them)

This was another problem and why I know they suck so badly! They were putting the Dry Max ones in the old boxes before the official marketing launch! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon So, you can't tell if you're getting the old ones or not! Reilly wears a size 6 and the only place that I have gotten the old type ones (in the old box) is from Stop and Shop.

I haven't used them yet but bought two new boxes (one of Cruisers for DS, one of Swaddlers for DD) and I am hoping they work for us!
