Arctic Bunny Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 My gut says size 2. I have no rationale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medawyn Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Size 3 or 4 get the longest use in my house. I have heard that size 6 is often hard to come by in donation scenarios, but I don't have first hand knowledge. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Size 3 gets the most mileage. Newborn to size 2 gets outgrown fast so neighbors usually donate half used packs to other neighbors. Some pull-ups if you don’t mind the cost because they are good for bedtime even when potty training. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 For a general drive, I'd go with larger sizes. If it's for a particular family, I'd probably go with size 2, simply because my own kids were really small and potty trained early. They wouldn't have used many size 3s at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Size 3's are used a long time, but when I've done similar things, the most requested sizes are size 4 and 5. Diaper drives get tons of donations of the smaller sizes but not many donations of the larger sizes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertBlossom Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) I have fat babies that get fat really fast. My last baby transitioned to size 4 at 7 months, and he'll probably stay in size 4 until he potty trains. 😄 I would definitely go for the bigger sizes! At least size 3 and up.

Tanaqui Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Give cash, tell them to buy whatever size they need the most when the drive is over. Then you don't need to try to predict what everybody else will donate. Edited May 12, 2020 by Tanaqui 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry in OH Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 4 or larger because most people give newborn through 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippiemamato3 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 We run a charity program that gives diapers and wipes to low income families. Size 5 is by far the most needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend that runs the donation center for a local charity said that size 6 is what she needed the most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
