Folks that don't approve of the new Cruisers changes I encourage you to take a few minutes and call Pampers. DEMAND answers! Report and post on this and other message boards your thoughts. BE THE SQUEAKY WHEEL! It seems the only way to effect change in the USA. It should also be noted that this review board seems to get wiped every week so PAST reviews will not be able to be seen.

I am going to be switching to Huggies - this is clearly a bait and switch to get us all to purchase their more expensive premium diapers. I called today and they told me that the "new Cruisers" are going to be redone again, with some special lotion liner, but they couldn't tell me when they were coming out and they are not going to be marking it on the box...

We were loyal Pampers users starting with Swaddlers (great!) when our son was born and were ecstatic when we moved on to Cruisers and found them to be absolutely fabulous. Well, with the NEW Cruisers our thoughts have now changed and we are in search of a new diaper like so many others on this review board. Cheap paper cover rather then the dry mesh liner, less absorbent material in front and back that promotes leaks. We had 4 nights in a row with leaks, soaked pjs/bed and diaper rash as a result. Not such a hot decision Pampers. After doing some more research I believe that these "changes" (removal of half of the absorbency pad and dry mesh liner) was not made to make a better standard Cruisers diaper (as told to me by the representative I talked to) but rather to add a NEW product line utilizing features from a line that was VERY successful and just like that Pampers Cruisers Diapers with Ultra Absorbency is born. IMO this is bait and switch. P&G/Pampers decision to go this route most likely include: CUTTING COSTS, LESS DIAPERS FOR THE $, MAKING THE USER PAY MORE and ultimately more $ in their pockets all around. Interesting that Target and BJs are the only stores carrying the Cruisers Ultra Absorbency diaper...can anyone say test market? Let’s take a look at the count and cost. Old (superior) Cruisers = 140 count for the size 4 at a cost of $40 Use to have the dry mesh liner and absorbent material all the way up in the front and back, it does not have these features now but the price has stayed the same. New Cruisers with Ultra Absorbency (extra padding AND the dry liner mesh is back! WOW, if that was such a bad part of the original product [again told to me by the rep] then WHY for goodness sakes would they add it back into another product???) = 116 count for size 4 at a cost of $40 Now this breaks down to a .6 cent difference in a per diaper cost, not much you might think BUT .6 cents sure does add up when you factor this by the millions of boxes that are sold. Shame on Pampers for trying to wring another dime out of products that people depend on and ALREADY pay top dollar for. Times are hard all around but I feel like Pampers has tried to pull the wool over users eyes with these changes rather then being straight up, that’s really the rub with me, the deception. I believe a better approach would have been to go ahead and make the changes to the Pampers Cruisers line, rename it “Pampers Economy” then introduce the NEW CRUISERS “Cruisers Premium” for an increased price, which are basically the old Pampers Cruisers with dry mesh liner and absorbent material to the top of the front and back. This change would have been a lot more transparent to the user IMO and not as deceptive. I still say, bring back the original Pampers Cruisers, with the mesh liner and absorbent material to the top of the front and back!!! I’d also be apart of the test group if need be, give me a call.

I just got off the phone with Pampers. They too told me that at this time it is a permanent change. She stated that they did extensive testing with them and went with the feedback that they received from consumers. Hmmm.. were the consumers sent these free to try? I too will be switching. I can NOT believe that there wasn't a change noted on the box. As for their web site it too still shows the mesh liner. We have bought Pampers since our baby was born and even went to the extent of buying the Sensitive Swaddlers for his little bum. Friends have even called me a "diaper snob" for buying Pampers to begin with. Alas I guess I will be among those ranks no more. Good bye Pampers! Completely Disappointed.

Thank heavens. I have seen the new "premium" cruisers at Target,and figure this is why they changed them. My daughter is almost 8 months, and I have been a loyal customer and bragged to all who would listen about these diapers being worth the money. Now they are not. Sorry Pampers, but I too will be switching since I can not justify the value anymore. Please let me know if you change these back!

I have a ton left and have to line my daughters diaper with a Kotex pad at night to prevent leaks!?!? My daughter has very sensitive skin and these were the only ones that prevented a rash. It was worth it to pay the premium price for a fantastic product that fit my needs. If I want a diaper that gives her a rash and leaks I will buy Walmarts house brand. Sad to say but I will be switching brands also. Perhaps I will jump on the cloth diapering band wagon.

I too am totally disappointed with these new cruisers! I too thought I was losing my mind or that I bought a defective box. I can't believe they would change these diapers with no warning to the public and still charge the same price. These diapers are a rip off and they do not work even half as good as they used to. I believe it is a ploy to get people to spend even more for the supreme absorbancy diapers. They don't even give you that many either. I will definately be switching brands which makes me really sa because I've been using swadlers and cruisers for 3 years now for my 2 children and I loved them. I refuse to pay the same price for crappy quality!

I can't believe how terrible these diapers are. I got my daughter ready for bed lastnight and within 2-3 minutes she had completely leaked through the diaper and onto her pajamas! It must have gone right through the back which now has absolutely no liner or absorbent material. I have never been so disappointed. I could have bought the cheaper crappy baby dry diapers and gotten more diapers for less money with the same exact results. I have been buying pampers for a long time and thought I would continue using them for as long as I had a baby wearing diapers. But now I have to find another brand. What makes me even angrier that pampers didn't bother to put anything on their packaging about this change. Thanks pampers for ripping me off and giving my daughter zero leak protection.

I thought I was crazy when I opened this most recent box of Cruisers. I loved them...I opened this box and what the heck happened! I also thought they were defective, and I'm going to also find another brand since they changed these wonderful Cruisers to nothing more than the Baby Dry. The mesh liner is gone and absolutely 1/2 the diaper is missing...what the heck is that about. I've used Swaddlers and then Cruisers but will now just use the Luvs that my mother in law uses because they are clheaper and the same quality now. I am extremely disappointed in the quality of the "change"
