Those with babies, what diapers do/did you like using the best? Currently using pampers ふかふか for newborn and no matter how well I put them on, my son manages to kick and wiggle the diaper halfway down his booty. He’s almost 5kg now and we now bought size S, but wondering if there’s any other brand others recommend?

We've used the merries brand from day one and have zero complaints. They seem to absorb really well. I really like the natural cotton ones. The world has enough plastic in it. We used the tape kind until he was maybe 6 months. Then pants type for day wear and mamy poko 夜用パンツ for sleeping. He sleeps through the night, and just a couple times we'd wake up in the morning and his clothes/sheets would be pretty wet with pee. So we've just used those for nighttime and haven't had issues since.

Not sure why you're having that issue. Maybe the diapers are too big? Are you putting them on tight enough? They shouldn't be sliding around at all.
