Freestyle and Pampers Amore are pretty good. Nothing will ever come close to Coterie IMO
Even after finding good alternatives, maintains nothing compares to Coterie - highest praise
Seriously, we started with coterie and they ruined me for all other brands. They're so nice and soft?? Worth the price.
Ruined for other brands - extremely high praise for softness and overall quality, says worth the premium price
Unfortunately, I too am obsessed with Coterie. Zero blowouts or rashes for us, and we tried 3 other brands before getting here
Zero blowouts or rashes after trying 3 other brands - strong specific performance claim
We're a Coterie house! My son is 14M and has never had a diaper rash. I also love their water wipes. The thick and larger than most other wipes. A few of my friends use other brands, but Coterie wipes.
14 months of exclusive use with zero diaper rash - strong long-term endorsement
millie moon and coterie are the best diapers i've used for both of my children, coteries have always been very good at keeping both of my babies dry at night with zero leakage! the only time we had any leaks is when they started to grow out of them.
Best diapers used across two children, zero leakage at night - only leaked when outgrown
I tried not to be a Coterie fan but I can't help it. After using Honest wipes for the first month (was trying to "save" my Coterie stash for bigger moments), I finally have fully switched. What would take 3-4 Honest wipes, I can knock out with 1 Coterie wipe.
Tried to resist but converted entirely. Provides specific efficiency comparison: 1 Coterie wipe replaces 3-4 Honest wipes. The 'tried not to be a fan' framing makes the endorsement more credible — they wanted to like the cheaper option but couldn't.
We LOVE Coterie!!! The absolute softest diapers, literally none other compare. And the wipes are so thick and absorbent. For me it's worth it knowing I'm putting something nontoxic (Chlorine Free) on my baby. However I'm not sure it'll help your baby sleep any better through the night. They're fairly good at preventing blowouts but I'm sure there are many other brands like that.
Absolute softest with no comparison, values chlorine-free nontoxic composition, good blowout prevention
Honest gave my daughter rashes and coterie has been perfect. We use Huggies and until they change to the blue liners.Now exclusive coterie
Perfect performance with no rashes unlike Honest, now exclusively using Coterie
Coterie is 100% worth it for my son. No diaper,rash no irritation, very absorbent (overnight) and good fit.
No rash, no irritation, very absorbent overnight with good fit - hits all performance metrics
Coterie. Hands down the best. If you can swing the price, it's worth every single penny!!!!
Enthusiastic superlative with four exclamation marks. Acknowledges premium price but declares it 'worth every single penny' — strong value justification despite cost.
I love coteries. Mainly due to the fit, we started with pampers Nb size, few blow outs later sized up to Kirkland size 1. Kirkland was huge on my baby, the leg cuffs go halfway down his thigh. So I decided to try coterie and they fit perfectly. No blowouts, it holds even overnight pees super well.
Perfect fit after Pampers and Kirkland failed, no blowouts, holds overnight pees well
I tried every single one of the brands you mentioned too, and we have stuck with coterie. I had heard parasol was the closest to coterie, but after trying them, they fit weird and left red marks around his thighs even though the waist fit was good. Still team coterie over here!
Tried every brand and stuck with Coterie - even Parasol (closest competitor) left red marks
I was gifted coterie diapers and wipes, so I never saw the marketing others speak of (and try to keep parenting related things off my algorithms). I was immediately impressed by how nice everything felt, and honestly the absorption was insane compared to other brands I'd tried including huggies (didn't fit properly, blowout and leaks), pampers swaddlers (less messes but the absorption leaves something to be desired), parents choice (idk the parents choosing these bc they suck ass), and up & up (personally my favorite bang for your buck and target is right around the corner). I was also given a sample of mille moon which is as close to coterie as I think I'm gonna find in terms of quality for half the price. I just wanted to offer my perspective since I came into parenthood in a vacuum removed from all outside influence. If I didn't have so many diapers gifted to us for varying stages, I'd have to worry about this more but honestly I loved the brief amount of time I had with Coterie and would do it again if I could wing the budget.
Unbiased by marketing, found absorption insane compared to Huggies/Pampers/store brands - would use again if budget allowed
We use Cotiere at night because they very reliably last the whole 12 hours. (5 months old) We call them his "bougie butts."
Very reliably lasts full 12-hour overnight stretch at 5 months - consistent overnight performance
We were gifted some coterie wipes and are hands down the BEST. Especially for blow outs.
Emphatic superlative ('hands down the BEST') with a specific use case — blowouts, which are the hardest test for any wipe. Strong endorsement from direct experience.
Ug. Came here because I also hate how much I like Coterie diapers, but we got a sample pack and last night was the best sleep I've had since baby was born. We might be devotees now, at least for overnight diapers. But I will say that I used about half as many diapers as usual, which justifies some additional cost. I only changed LO during feeds.
Best sleep since baby was born using Coterie overnight, uses half as many diapers which offsets cost
We've tried honest, hello bello, pampers swaddlers, Huggies little snugglers, and kudos. I was never able to get a hold of NB coteries and my LO was pretty tiny so we found most success with Huggies although he kept leaking bc his thighs were tiny. Now that he fits size 1 Coterie and kudos have been my favorite they seem the softest and coterie definitely seems more absorbent to me. Their wipes are also WAY softer and thicker than the others we've tried which I didn't think I'd care about but it definitely makes a difference for us- I only need to use 1 wipe and it is much more gentle on his bum (we saw a dramatic reduction in redness). My husband and I have pretty sensitive skin and obviously every baby is different but I really like them. Less redness and SO many less leaks for us. I wanted to not give into the hype, but for us it's worth it.
After trying 5 other brands, Coterie is softest and most absorbent with dramatic reduction in skin redness and fewer leaks
Coterie was the only one that we tried that didn't give my son diaper rash! I just cough up the $ and move on.
Only brand out of multiple tried that did not cause diaper rash - pays premium willingly for this benefit
Agree with this! It totally depends on the baby. We are a coterie house unless we need an emergency stash while traveling, and they work(ed) best for my two kids. I recommend not stocking up on anything and trying a few that match your needs.
Primary brand for two children, works best out of options tried
Love coterie. We used to use Huggies and still do, but since the formulation change I've heard of ppl getting chemical burns - imo coterie fits like Huggies (skinny/narrow diaper) and parasol, bumbum, pure, etc. all fit like Millie Moon (which we hated) for whatever reason those diapers are super wide and push my daughter's legs out so we stopped using them. We've also used freestyle & were gifted bumbum but coterie is what we reach for first.
Coterie is first choice among many brands tried, describes fit as skinny/narrow like Huggies which works for their daughter
Dropped Millie moon and huggies for coterie, quality is so much better especially for wipes. I have a 99th percentile baby and for those who say they cause blowouts in chunky babies you just need to size up (he's 12 weeks old and 18 lbs and currently in size 4). Coterie even says themselves that if blowouts occur the diapers too small/tight.
Switched from Millie Moon and Huggies for better quality, works for 99th percentile baby when sized up appropriately
They sell them by the pack at Whole Foods in case you want to try them out without committing. We did Millie Moon at first but the fit wasn't great for our also long and skinny girl (though lower percentile). Changed to Coterie and never went back.
Better fit than Millie Moon for long and skinny baby, switched and never went back
I was coming here to say the same thing. Our son got my sensitive skin and Coterie is the only disposable brand that doesn't irritate his skin to high hell. Occasional blowouts (but I don't think any diaper would have contained those) and really has no relation that I can tell when it comes to sleeping through the night, but they are worth it for us when it comes to keeping his skin clear
Only disposable brand that does not irritate sensitive skin, worth the cost for clear skin despite occasional blowouts
Coterie wipes - large enough you only really need one or two tops.
Highlights the efficiency angle — size means using only 1-2 wipes per change. Highest score (4 upvotes) in a softness-focused thread, suggesting community agrees with the recommendation.
Second Coterie! I use less wipes and they're soft and strong.
Concise endorsement hitting three key attributes: efficiency (uses less), softness, and strength. 'Second' indicates agreement with another Coterie recommendation in the thread.
They are the best!!! I have yet to find a brand as thick as theirs. I just hate paying 18 cents per wipe versus like 2 for Kirkland branded ones which are still good!
Calls them 'the best' and praises unmatched thickness. Provides specific price comparison (18 cents vs 2 cents for Kirkland) showing awareness of the premium. 'Hate' the price but still rates them highest.
Coterie is just the best, the wipes are so soft and thick (very imp. IMO) and the diapers are just better in all respects. They cost an arm and a leg, but the subscription makes it so mindless to always be stocked. If you can swing it financially, there's just kind of no comparison.
Best in all respects with subscription convenience, acknowledges high cost but says no comparison quality-wise
Currently using these two brands. Millie moon holds big blow out poops the best for us. But it's very bulky and large under clothes. Coterie holds pee the best. We use these over night and on longer trips. Slim under clothes.
Best pee absorption used for overnight and trips, slim profile under clothes - functional advantage over bulkier alternatives
I personally like coterie a lot. They have sample packs if you want to try them out before committing and if you're near one, Whole Foods sell single packs so you can do that too to test them out. I got a couple different brand samples, one being healthy baby and it was the first and only blowout my kid has ever had lol! Kids are shaped so differently and have different outputs, it's hard to say what will work for you. I'd personally get a box of healthy baby at target and a coterie pack at Whole Foods and see which you like more. It's so individual what works
Likes Coterie a lot, only blowout ever was in a competing brand (HealthyBaby) - implies zero blowouts in Coterie
I like to think while im paying more for the wipes that im still saving a bit as i can get one wipe at a time and only use a couple. Other brands, I feel like I had to use 3x as many especially for poops and I would get 3 if I only wanted 1. 🫠
Justifies premium price through efficiency math — uses fewer wipes and gets one at a time vs 3 with other brands. Notes needing 3x as many wipes with competitors for poops. Positive with cost-awareness.
I started using Coterie bc it was harder to get Freestyle Diapers. They were only sold at Whole Foods or by a subscription but they changed the formula of the diaper or have 2 versions now. Anyways they now sell in Walmart for super cheap. I think the new name is skin shield. But they are not the original OG bamboo ones. But you can subscribe on their website and get the bamboo ones. I'm not sure honestly, it was a confusing email I received from the company. Anyways we switched to Coterie bc LO didn't have a reaction and doesn't have blow outs etc… hope this helps.
No skin reaction and no blowouts with Coterie after switching from Freestyle
We used coterie not because they're so soft and luxurious but because my kid's eczema was so bad that we tried to change EVERYTHING. His eczema got way better and I did switch out of it one time and quickly switched back. Do I know for sure that it was coterie that helped? No idea but I also can't say for sure that it didn't either
Chosen for severe eczema management, eczema improved and worsened when switching away - staying with Coterie for skin health
The different stats are a great starting point to make a decision but at the end of the day it's about what fits your baby best and which ones are the most easily accessible to you. I wanted to love kudos but had leaks in both NB and size 1. My favorites are parasol, Millie Moon, and coterie based on some of the factors in your chart + fit on my baby (long and lean but with a little belly). I was using parasol which I liked but decided to try Millie moon because they're cheaper and I can pick them up in person at target, and they're working so well for my 7mo that I'm willing to sacrifice some of the "clean" factors.
Lists Coterie as one of their favorites, good fit for long/lean baby with a belly - positive but switched to cheaper options
We tried so so many (loved coterie but not the price) - ended up with Millie moons. Fit him great and we're up to size 5 now at a year old. Very few blow outs or leaks ever!
Loved Coterie quality but switched due to price - positive on product but negative on value
Huggies and Coterie diapers - I used a credit cash back card offer for a Coterie order, I got two sizes of subscription, then canceled the smaller subscription. I keep delaying the next order until we move up to the next size. I also got some Coterie on fbook marketplace. Huggies seem more user-friendly though - I feel like I have to close the Coterie just right to prevent a blowout; my mom did it too loose but hasn't had that issue with Huggies. For wipes - Kirkland, Huggies natural and Seventh Generation (whatever is on sale), plus some Water Wipes in the travel bag for all kinds of wiping (face, hands, my own butt lol)!
Uses Coterie via subscription but notes it requires precise closure to avoid blowouts - less user-friendly than Huggies
FWIW, we got tons of Coterie diapers for our shower. They are high-quality diapers and worked really well for the first few months. But at some point when he was size 2 or 3, they stopped fitting him well and he started getting regular leaks. So we switched to Millie Moon and were very pleased with the results.
High quality and worked well initially, but fit deteriorated at size 2-3 causing regular leaks requiring a brand switch
Love my gifted Coterie. Will not buy them myself. My partner loves Kirkland diapers more, and I think my kid actually has more blow outs in Coterie than Kirkland, especially in the car seat. That being said, the brand's transparency and free-from-all-the-things is really great. But different diapers are probably not going to help your kid sleep better. If you do subscribe, know that they run small compared to other brands, and unless you're someone really good at predicting your baby's size needs, you'll also be gifting some of these expensive AF diapers away to a friend or diaper bank…making them even more expensive per diaper.
Likes the gifted product and brand transparency but reports more blowouts than Kirkland especially in car seat, runs small, wont buy at this price
I wasn't super impressed by Coterie's diapers but I really like their wipes! When I run through my current supply I'll likely start ordering the wipes.
Not impressed by diapers specifically despite trying them - neutral/slightly negative on the diaper product itself
We tried coterie and I was unimpressed. Millie moon was even softer to me. Also really like healthy baby and I order them from target on sale. Using Millie moon overnights now instead of Huggies and like them just as much.
Tried Coterie but unimpressed, found Millie Moon softer - neutral assessment after direct comparison
I teach a young nursery school class and they're not my favorite. I prefer kirklands or millie moon or even sam's. Coterie's tabs are flimsy.
Professional childcare perspective - tabs are flimsy compared to Kirkland/Millie Moon/Sams
We used Coterie and switched around 6 months when we started having leaks and blowouts too. We found that Coterie ran small - we had to move up sizes pretty much as soon as my son hit the minimum weight for the next size. We switched to Huggies and haven't had an issue. Also, baby doesn't seem to care one bit what diaper he's in. Sleeps all the same in the Coterie or in Huggies. We've been told that Pampers are good for long skinny babies. Huggies for chunky leg babies. Our son definitely has chunky legs.
Switched away at 6 months due to leaks/blowouts, confirms runs small requiring early size-ups, chunky baby didnt fit well
Yes they very absorbent are for me! They are thin but very absorbent. We use them at night, no leaks. We tried Coterie and went back to Healthy Baby because Coterie leaked overnight We did get some blow outs with Healthy Baby, but I tried pampers, Millie Moon, Coterie, and Honest and had blowouts with all of them too. I think my baby is just a blowout machine l….
Tried Coterie but it leaked overnight, switched back to HealthyBaby - specific failure scenario despite testing
Pampers swaddlers are the best in my opnion. I know some people don't like the scent, but it's worked the best for three kids now. My mom recently fell for the coterie ads and got me some to try and although they are soft, my daughter kept getting so red because they just don't keep baby dry enough
Acknowledges softness but daughter got red because diapers dont keep baby dry enough - moisture management failure
My son had a rash with all diapers except Millie Moon! We also use their water wipes and they're soft and no issues. I personally think Coterie is ridiculous with their pricing. -90 for only 128 diapers whereas I can get 192 Millie Moon diapers for … but that's just my experience.
Son had rash with Coterie, criticizes price point (-90/128 diapers) as ridiculous compared to alternatives
I'm really surprised to hear this. HealthyBaby is the only brand we've had zero leaks or issues with. I tried Coterie, Parasol, Millie Moon and Pampers Swaddlers and Pampers Pure and by far HealthyBaby are our favorite. Parasol was our runner-up second favorite, maybe try those? We had the most leaks with Coterie.
Most leaks of all brands tried (Parasol, Millie Moon, Pampers Swaddlers/Pure, HealthyBaby) - worst performer in their testing
Yes, she always blew out the back of coterie. Pampers Pure have been the best for us so far
Always blew out the back specifically - consistent back blowout failure
We kept having blowouts in Coterie despite sizing up and switched to Parasol. Problem mostly solved! Just didn't work for my son
Persistent blowouts even after sizing up, had to switch to Parasol to resolve the issue
I have been through all of the diaper brands and noticed some have odd sizing. The ones I found absorbent have been pampers swaddlers ultra, huggies naturals, millie moon, dyper, kudos, honest and rascals. The sizing on millie moon and huggies are a little off on the smaller end. The sizing on pampers swaddlers ultra are long which is nice so we're currently using size 1 and my baby is a month old now. Coterie was a huge disappointment for us because it just leaks so much for our newborn boy, I even sized up and still had the same issue. Now I just stick with pampers, honest sometimes, kudos, millie moon and rascals. Dyper is often hard to find in stores so don't use them as often.
Huge disappointment - leaks so much even after sizing up for newborn boy, switched to multiple other brands
I tried Coterie TWICE! because the first time we experienced leaks and blowouts… so they convinced me to try them again and size up. Well we did and we had the same issues… they have great customer service I will say that but the hype is not worth the price. I am now going to try Freestyle! Which I've heard great things about. Currently we are using the pampers Amore and we love love them. They are so soft and no leaks or blowouts! They are also pretty true to size and don't run small.
Tried twice with sizing up as recommended, still experienced leaks and blowouts both times - hype not worth the price
Every single recommended "clean" diaper had caused the worst rash in my kid! Honest, Coterie, Millie Moon - constant diaper rash. Pampers no problem. Who would have guessed??
Coterie caused constant diaper rash - strong negative with specific skin reaction
I had this same experience, after 10 days of daily blowouts I caved and went back to huggies
10 consecutive days of daily blowouts forced return to Huggies - extreme failure rate
I had to stop using them… they gave my baby a horrible diaper rash! And they've never had a reaction to any of the other 5 brands we tried. So sad 😭
Horrible diaper rash unique to Coterie - 5 other brands caused no reaction
Same for us. They leaked terribly. We tried sizing up, sizing down, changing to the pull up version. All of them failed miserably on our kiddo. I have a friend who swears by them for her kiddo, though. I think diapers depend so much on the child itself, so if you find a brand that works consistently, you stick with it.
Leaked terribly despite trying sizing up, down, and pull-up version - all failed on their child
I'm glad I'm not alone! I was beginning to think these diapers are a scam—I tried both size N and 1 with my baby since she was 2 weeks old and we've had blowouts and leaks every time. I emailed them and luckily they gave me a credit for the unopened packs which I used on their wipes. Huggies fit the best.
Blowouts and leaks every time in both NB and size 1, thought they were a scam - total product failure
Coterie - gave baby a diaper rash and skin breakdown, will not use diapers or wipes Honest - meh, thin Hello bello - felt like thin cardboard Healthy baby - liked but outgrew them because I only had newborn size and the stump took forever to fall off so we moved to a size one by the time I could use them however I love their wipes Pampers - never a fan, also don't like the smell Huggies - so there are different versions and the regular ones from target for instance are terrible. However, Costco sells the plus version which can only by bought at Costco and those are the only ones we use. They work great, feel good, don't cause skin rashes. Other brands not tried: dyper, kudos off the top of my head for being more natural
Caused diaper rash AND skin breakdown - will never use again, most severe skin reaction reported
