Publix premium diapers are priced smack dab in the middle of the storebrand diaper range listed on the sidbar. Not bad, but not that great, ether. And I hope you like them, because you have to buy the equivalent of the supermega (2 jumbos). If the price were any higher, you could easily beat this deal buying Pampers/Huggies on sale and using coupons.
First impressions:
The diaper is thin and rectangular coming out of the package. They're definitely not baby-shaped. For this reason, they seem a little wide between his legs. The waistband isn't stretchy, but the tabs are, and I've decided that with the storebrands, that's the way I prefer it. I dig the cool geometric design--no Disney, Sesame Street, or Care Bear marketing in sight--darn refreshing! These diapers remind me most of the CVS diapers (which are more expensive).
In Use:
The Publix premium diaper puffs up when wet like Pampers do, but a bit lumpier. We didn't have any leakage issues due to volume, but again, the storebrands lack the special liner that the premiums have that pulls wetness away from the skin. For whatever reason, we did not have the rash with these diapers that we did with Kroger diapers. However, we did have several episodes where the poop goes all the way out to the edges of the leg gathers. Could be my kid, could be the diaper. Who knows? Pampers Cruisers have a double-gather system that eliminates this for the most part.
In summary, I bought these diapers because I had a great coupon, and I'd buy them again if I had a great coupon. My kid eats solid food (well okay, he only eats Cheerios and applesauce this week). Because of the leg-gather poop issue noted above, I don't recommend using this diaper with a milk/formula only baby or if you've already had poop-leakage trouble with Huggies or Pampers.

I bought a box of Publix diapers size 4 for my 16 month old when I had a $5 off coupon. I find they work alright for during the day but I have to use brand name diapers at night or on car trips where he's in his car seat for lengthy periods. Could just be that my son pees a lot though! He is also a bear to change and these aren't as easy for me to get on straight as Huggies or Pampers.
I also bought them because of a coupon deal...I ended up paying 1.99 for the jumbo pack. How could I pass it up? The first time we used them, my husband pulled the tab right off and then the waistband didn't fit well at all. The diaper is thin and very soft feeling...almost like Charmin. It didn't leak but I changed ds more often because it seemed to "fill up" faster than his Huggies. I certainly wouldn't try these for overnight.
