Diapers $$$

If you can gauge the quality of a man by the clothes he wears, can you gauge the quality of the parent by the diapers his child wears?



What kind of diapers does your child rock? Ours used to rock Pampers. We paid extra so our son could pee on Big Bird's head. Now he gets to pee on generic animals courtesy of White Cloud diapers.

He pees out of these just like the Pampers or the Huggies, only these cost about 20% less. Sometimes I look back to the good old days, when Big Bird and Mickey Mouse were so dutifully looking after every movement of the bowels. Now when I slap on a new White Cloud, it's done with a twinge of guilt.

So far there is no noticeable difference except in price. Are Pampers and Huggies parents duped into believing these diapers are better or am I missing something?

I can't help but think the only difference is that the licensing fees needed to install Mickey and Big Bird are added to the price. Oh yeah, and also when was the last time you saw a White Cloud commercial? Those marketing costs have to be added to the price of the name brands too.
