Compact diapers good for the road

WHAT Diaper Buds

HOW MUCH $6.99 for eight ($18.99 for 24)

WHAT IT IS Individually wrapped, vacuum-packed disposable diapers designed to take up less space in a diaper bag or a suitcase. Available in sizes 2, 3, 4 and 5.

WHAT'S GOOD When you peel off the packaging, the bud blooms into a full-size diaper that functions as well as any disposable diaper we've ever purchased. Absorbency and fit are not compromised in favor of compactness. The vacuum-sealed packaging also offers a hygienic seal, so diapers are protected from spills, dirt and other gunk.

WHAT'S NOT The convenience comes at a price. A box of 140 Pampers Cruisers (size 4) retails for around $39 - or about 27 cents a diaper. Diaper Buds are about 87 cents a diaper.
