Product Reviews of Pampers Cruisers, Size 3 (16-28 Lbs), Economy Plus Pack, 160 Cruisers
Product Review: Once Great, Now Crapola Pampers Cruisers
Summary: 1 Stars
We are a family 3 years into our use of Pampers (multiple boys) and have always been huge fans. Cruisers (historically) almost never leak and diaper rash has rarely been an issue. I've never blinked at the higher price because I felt it was well worth having dry happy babies, both day and night. But sometime this summer, Pampers made the executive decision to vastly reduce the quality of the Cruisers (they reduced the absorbency and removed the keep-dry liner which ironically is still described in the current product description) without notifying customers or changing the packaging. This seems like a horribly unethical thing to do. I'm surprised there aren't more negative comments here in response to the lowered quality of the product (check out the other major online outlet for diapers if you want to see pages of angry customers). Personally after spending (literally) thousands of dollars with Pampers over the years I'm shocked by the silent switch in product.
Rumor has it that the "old" Cruisers are now being rebranded as Cruisers Premium and are only available at Target (presumably this is some test marketing scheme). Unfortunately as Target doesn't exist in VT and I'm loathe to pay the huge shipping fees from Target.com I cannot confirm that these new Cruisers Premium are in fact the same as our old beloved Cruisers. We've switched to Huggies which seem prone to leaks and seem to have a sharper urine smell to them, even when relatively fresh. But there doesn't seem to be any alternatives (although I am open to suggestion is anybody has any good ones to share!).
But I'm really disgusted by the way Pampers has squandered their customer loyalty. If they wanted to pump up profit margins, I would have preferred that they simply raised the prices which would have been more honest and respectful.
Excuse me, I have to go change my baby who has apparently leaked through his Huggies while I've been writing this review. Bah....
Product Review: I have a boy and I LOVE Pampers Cruisers!

I've tried Huggies and Luvs but these are by far superior. I will make a special trip to a store just for these.Product Review: New Cruiser without mesh-lining LEAK!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been a pampers customer since my son was born 20 months ago. I loved their OLD cruisers diapers. I can NOT say the same for there newly changed cruisers. First, I would like to say that I didn't appreciate them changing the diapers and not letting their consumers know. They could have even lied and put "new and improved mesh free lining" on the box. Secondly, it was very sneaky, to say the very least, that they made this change to the new lining during the holiday season when their customers might be to busy to notice. Well, i noticed as did my friends and family. Repeatedly my friends and family had to change their clothes because my sons pee leaked through onto their clothing while they were holding him. Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like being peed on. Not only that, but my sons diaper doesn't make it through the night anymore, it leaks all over him, his crib and his pj's. Thirdly, I am disappointed that pampers did not pass on the saving to us. I already spend $40 per box of pampers, if you are going to spend less money on making them then pass the savings on to your customers as well, even if I only spend .02 less a diaper.
I called customer service they were very nice but informed me this was a "permanent" change. They are sending me 4 $10 off coupons I guess to encourage me to keep buying their diapers after their shafty and questionable behavior. I am changing brands to a non P&G brand, which brand, i don't know yet. Buyers BEWARE!
Product Review: Miser Scrooge Holiday Quality Switch
Summary: 1 Stars
Loyal and New Pampers buyers beware! Pampers has changed the quality of their diapers. THey are no longer the 5 star product rated here. Please read all the new reviews only.
Dear Pampers,
What a horrible thing to do. You changed the quality of the pampers and didn't let us know on the packaging and then you did this right at the holidays/Christmas. What kind of miser scrooge underhanded people are you? We have bought nothing but Pampers from day one and my wife and I hate the new diapers!
I still can't believe you have done this without any kind of notification and tried to sneak it over on us during the Holidays/Christmas. That's really low ball and underhanded. I returned the two value boxes we bought last night and we are switching to Huggies. The Huggies brand little movers are so much better than these new pampers and the same cost. They dont have the mesh lining but at least the Huggies center material is softer and goes up further on the back and the front. In fact, the band seems to be better than even the old Pampers.
The new pampers center padding is stiffer and only has a small section in the middle. It doesn't go up far in the back or the front. Nothing like the old ones and nothing like Huggies!
Way to go pampers, you just lost a life long customer. Our daughter is 18 months old now and we planned on having more children. So you just lost out on any profit from us for the rest of our kids.
What are you going to do? Try to be as good as Huggies?
So what, let's say you can at least do that, it wont matter at this point.
Why would we switch back from Huggies unless you can beat them in quality. Especially after the aggravation.
The only way we would consider switching back is by going back to the way they use to be. Especially after the manner in which you guys have done this. Not listing it on the package and doing this right at Christmas time is pretty crappy and is an extremely Scrooge/Miser tactic.
Product Review: Not so loyal (anymore) pampers customer
Summary: 2 Stars
Glad I'm not imagining things... I only recently switched from Swaddlers to Cruisers and liked the first box of Cruisers I purchased. (Have always used Pampers diapers since the beginning.) When the second box arrived a couple of weeks ago I noticed they looked like cheap store-brand diapers, felt kind of rough, had no netting and had a weird chemical smell. Didn't have an old Cruisers to compare and began to think maybe I confused Cruisers with the Swaddler design -- which are soft, have the netting, etc. Decided to do a bit of investigation and it seems Pampers has indeed changed the Cruisers design. Pampers now also apparently has a new Cruisers "Ultra Absorbency" diaper which costs more -- maybe the idea is to get people to buy those instead. I'm pretty disappointed -- will be trying out Huggies. I actually also recently learned that Pampers wipes have alcohol in them -- even the sensitive ones. Not really an issue until your baby has diaper rash -- but then -- OUCH!
