Do Huggies or Pampers run bigger?

I thought I read a diaper comparison here a while ago, but can't find it now, so maybe not?

Just from personal experience...I haven't felt either were really bigger than the other.

However they are definitly both bigger than luvs and other generics.

I'm thinking huggies because my dd wears a size 3 in huggies fine and put her in size 4 pampers cause I ran out LOL
the tabs seemed really short to me (too small in the waist).....

but, Ive never taken both side by side to compare

I think that Pampers run bigger and hold more.
I have 4 boys

Huggies and pampers run about the same. If anything I would say that the pampers run slightly bigger. I find that parents choice a little bigger in size 5 compared to pampers size 5 but only barely. Luvs run smaller but only slightly it all depends on the baby really. I didn't have any problems with fit till my son was around 17-18 months.

I think the issue is that they're cut a little differently and the stuffing is a little different between them so they sit differently on different shapes of babies. Some seem to fit some babies better and vice versa.

I have found them all to be pretty true to the poundage listed on the box. Everytime we started getting leaks we were within a few pounds of the top of the scale and it was time to move up a size.

On my son Huggies fit bigger. Luvs and Pampers fit about the same with Pampers being a bit bigger. I think it is just my son's build though. As he has grown, different brands have fit him better.
