A Mom's Balancing Act

Back in January I shared with you about the new Pampers high performance diapers and their partnership with the Winter Olympics. If you missed it, the babies of Team USA athletes were equipped with Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max as they headed to the Olympics. This is the brand's first high performance diaper and their biggest innovation in the last 25 years! The new Dry Max technology was applied to the current Swaddlers and Cruisers that many of us have probably tried, and if you're like me...LOVE!

Some features/benefits of the new Pampers Cruisers with Dry Diapers are:

New Dry Max technology - driest diaper ever - to help lock wetness in up to 12 hours.
20% less bulk, making it Pampers' thinnest diaper and our driest ever
Softer outer cover for comfort inside and out
Tapered design
Sesame Street® characters
Will be offered for the same price as current Pampers Swaddlers and Cruisers

When Kaelyn was born we tried many different brands of diapers trying to find the one that worked best for us and her. It didn't take long for us to realize that Pampers was by far our favorite and now, is pretty much the only disposable diaper we buy. That's why I was really excited when I found out that I was going to have the opportunity to try out a pack of these new high performance diapers.

I have always liked the Pampers Swaddlers and Cruisers best. They are extremely soft and seem comfortable for children. I was hoping that these new Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max would offer the same comfort and couldn't wait to try them out with Kaden once they arrived on our door step!

I immediately began using them with him and couldn't have been happier with the results. Not only are they super soft inside and out, they are also made to fit him perfectly! He has been sleeping through the night for a couple of weeks now, which means his diaper is quite full in the morning. I have found that these new Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max hold in the wetness very well for that extended amount of time and doesn't seem to make him uncomfortable at all.

One thing I was curious to see was how much thinner they would actually be. I had read that they were 20% thinner, but I was interested to see if I actually noticed the difference. To my surprise, I actually did. It's amazing how just a little less bulk really makes it more ideal for moms. I am able to fit more diapers in the diaper bag when we're out and about thanks to this new design. It's also appreciated that although thinner, the performance of these diapers was not effected in any way....if anything, I think we like these best out of the other Pampers diapers we've been using.

I love bags and purses! It's an even greater bonus if I can find cute and stylish ones that will double as a diaper bag since we lug around so much with us everywhere we go! That's why I was excited to learn that all totes at Baby Star are on sale for $29.99. They have a great selection and I love that that they can be used as a fashionable and functional diaper bag as well. They're classic and beautiful styles keep both dad and mom in mind. They have plenty of room with multiple pockets and best of all...are safe for both baby and the environment!

If you would like to check out the Baby Star totes they have to offer....visit www.babystar.com. Hurry though...this offer only lasts 3 days (until midnight PST 3/3). While you're there, be sure to enter to win a free tote too!
