I Use Name Brand Powder On Me..And Generic on DS

Does that make me horrible? Lol

I buy the Johnson's powder for me. It's expensive, it's 5 dollars for the biggest bottle they made. I have to use it under my boobs after a shower or swimming. If I don't I get a rash.

I buy DS the Target brand powder. It's still nice powder, and the nicest I have found in terms of off brands. I have found that 1 bottle of Johnson's lasts me longer than 1 bottle of the Target powder if I just use it on myself. I have to use less Johnson's so it lasts longer.

We go through a lot of powder and I can't afford to keep spending 5 bucks a pop on powder for DS. The Target brand powder is like $1.82.

I dont see anything wrong with it.. My kids get generic products, since they tend to use more than I do.

If the target brand is good enough for my baby, it'd be good enough for me too.

Is it cornstarch powder? The original stuff isn't supposed to be used.

It works good, I was using it before. But like I said since I have switched to only using Johnson's, it seems we go through less Target powder. So that means more powder for DS and saves me money too.

No, I tried that and didn't like it. I like the Original Johnson's powder. I use the original of the Target brand too.

Same here. I can justify spending 6 bucks on a tube of toothpaste that will last me and dh months vs the boys that will only last a few weeks. Guess it depends on what it is though.

I tend to get the Johnson powders free so everyone uses it here. You do what is right for you.
