Ordered my first pampers points reward
5075 pts redeemed for the Big Flyer - big wheels thingy!
we figure a toy for older kids would get the most mileage - pun sort of intended 
Re: Ordered my first pampers points reward
Did it take you one kid or 2 to get to this level? I am a little worried with all the complaints about the new Dry max and kids having reactions but i used Pampers for my DS and loved them. I have about 500 points now and have not started buying diapers.
big wheels were my favorite as a kid but DS is not as big a fan. However he loves the Razor castor that thing is nuts so maybe he was just a wimpy kid.
i did start collecting when Ava was born, but we were not consistent Pampers users. We used more Huggies than Pampers, until the very end.
We've used only Pampers for Samantha - it works so far, so no need to change. And I add in the free points whenever I come across them.
Their wipes are the Kirkland Costco brand, so we never got points for those.
So, to hardly answer your question with a straight answer, we're almost 8 mos into 2 kids, but have not collected consistently.
August- If you are a pampers person it doesn't take that long but does take a while. In the year since jack has been born, with free points and diaper/wipe points and a hook up I have gotten a total of 16,000 points so far.
Also another trick is every month they have a promotion so I try to only enter product points (ones I get from buying things) until a new month starts. I.E. currently all Splashers swim diapers are worth DOUBLE through August. So instead of 20 you get 40. They do they every other month it seems.
Also the bigger the box of diapers the more points included. We don't buy store bags we only buy cases.
Jack NEVER had an issue with Pampers dry max or any type and he does have VERY sensitive skin. I think some of the hype had to be with normal diaper rash, new moms and a bandwagon to jump on. JMO though.
August-I have used Dry Max from the beginning and my daughter has NEVER had a reaction. I am also diligent about using diaper cream and to date, we have never had a rash. I am not a fan of Huggies...I had them in the hospital and I received a diaper cake at my shower and the diapers were huggies...when she got to that size (they were 2s), i thought to use them up since they were a gift. I hated them, the babysitter hated them and I didn't think they were as good as Pampers. I too read the issues with Dry Max but have never had a reaction
Navy-holy sh** 16,000 points! wow.
