After some recent comments that had me scratching my head trying to figure out the logic, I have decided to do a quick comparison to hopefully quell some misunderstanding and educate some folks at the same time.
this comparison is based on my findings (which means I have purchased from these sites at these prices) (A US Citizen) if you have seen cheaper please don't hesitate to speak up.
ok here we go...
price comparison without shipping charges* based on the cheapest sites I have found, for the highest regarded diapers based on performance.
*cheapchux incorporates shipping price into overall price.

well there ya go, there isn't a whole lot of difference in performance in all of these diapers. they all have their good & bad points and are all similarly priced, but you can clearly see which is the most expensive. I guess its up to the individual to decide what price is worth it or obtainable based on budget.
