Wal-Mart White Cloud Diapers

Discontinued

Reviewed January 2008

pros
  • Inexpensive
  • Absorbent
  • Performs well for its price
cons
  • Not as durable as other brands

Reviewers point out that investing in a store brand like Wal-Mart White Cloud diapers can save you more than $300 per year over more expensive name brands. White Cloud diapers are praised for their wide, soft-stretch waist; their secure-grip stretch tabs; their cloth-like cover and their ultra-absorbent core. Tests show that White Cloud diapers resist leaks well. Parents have posted mixed reviews, but many swear by White Cloud's quality. In tests, White Cloud diapers outperform a couple of prominent name brands. If you're not comfortable buying store-brand diapers, reviewers recommend either ultra leak-proof Pampers Cruisers (*Est. 29 cents each) or Pampers Swaddlers (*Est. 22 cents each) for newborns.

We found the best review of Wal-Mart White Cloud diapers at ConsumerReports.org, which asks families to try out this product (along with mainstream brands) for two weeks. Wal-Mart diapers are mentioned in the latest version of the book "Baby Bargains," and are also featured in a blog by About.com's guide to baby products.
