Q: Why do they have a strong chemical smell after diapers getting wet ??

Q: Is the lining made of plastic or cotton?
submitted by MamaAce - 1 year ago
A: The inside absorbent padding on Huggies® diapers is made of a fluffy, paperlike material called wood cellulose fiber and a super-absorbent material called sodium polyacrylate. Other materials used include polypropylene, polyester, and polyethylene -- all synthetic materials designed to enhance the fit of the diaper and help stop leaks. The elastic strands in all Huggies diapers are made of synthetic rubber for a snug but gentle fit for baby. Made with no harsh ingredients, while being dermatologist approved and designed with sensitive skin in mind. If you have any other questions, we encourage you to contact us at 1-877-648-2484 (weekdays, 8AM to 5PM CST). Thank you for reaching out!

Huggies just released a "new and improved" version which gave my baby a terrible bloody rash the first time he wore them. Huggies discontinued Special Delivery to make a cheaper "Skin Essentials" and has once again changed the diaper to an even cheaper product. Very disappointing

New and improved….not
The old version was so much better there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. It was the perfect quality and softness, and the design actually worked. The little holes helped keep mess away from my baby's bottom, which made a big difference. These new ones just aren't the same the bumpy liner caused instant diaper rash & smells of chemicals. They don't feel as soft, rather cheap and flimsy & less absorbent and I hate that they no longer have the vent holes that actually helped with diaper rash. It honestly feels like a downgrade in every way. This product has gone from 5 stars to 1 star for me. I really wish they would bring back the old version. They shouldn't have messed with something that wasn't broken if it's not broken, don't fix it. I hope others agree this is not the same quality as before, will be switching to pampers amore from now on disappointed in Huggies for this.

My daughter has used these diapers for almost her entire life so far (she’s 1) and the new revamp of these diapers is amazing! The fit is so much better, no blowouts, and keeps her but clear of redness. And the cherry on top in the new design of these diapers is absolutely adorable. I will always recommend these to anyone who asks!

New design is not well made. It’s not as soft and has so many defective diapers that the inner absorbent pad doesn’t go all the way up to the stretchy part and causes poo leaks through the diapers! This never happened before but 2 boxes in with the new design it’s been happening often. Not a fan at all.

I like how it fits my daughter just right, not too loose or too tight. It is amazing absorbent she’s able to fill the diaper before needing to be changed. Hands down my favorite brand, I’ve never had an issues versus me having issues with the pampers brand, these diapers are all around extremely loved in my household!

Its a yes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the softness of these diapers, skin doesn't get rash/chemical burns. I do feel there's blowout through the legs but could've been user error. The fit is snug doesn't get saggy but I also change the diapers after 1 void.

Horrible!!
We have been using these diapers for 6 months! We loved them until the ingredients changed. The new “and improved” diapers gave my 6 month old son a terrible chemical burn in the shape of a Mickey Mouse on his testical! We just got out of the ER and we have fully switched diapers to Pampers amore. Why take a good thing and ruin it?! The new skin essentials diapers are smaller and thinner, bigger prints and more blowouts/ leaks.

Why did you change these?! They were perfect now they have a silky plastic feel whereas the original felt more “cotton” they’re now PAPER THIN & not any cheaper. So disappointing, guess we’re moving on to a different brand.

Very soft
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like these diapers alot. One of mh very favorite diapers for my daughter. The sizes run a bit small in my opinion. These were tight on my daughter so I will size up next time. But other than that I love them. They are very soft. I love the blow out guard in the back.

Unhappy with liner change! Diaper rash galore!
We’ve been buying these diapers for 7 months since our baby was born. Our absolute favorites! Until recently with the liner change. Diaper changed with no warning and gave our baby a terrible rash we couldn’t get rid of for a week and continued to stay pink after getting the worst of rash cleared up. Ended up having to change diapers.

Classic for a reason
The perfect stretchy waistband changed my life. Might be exaggerating a bit, but I don’t know how I waited so long before using Huggies. They are the easiest to use, most versatile diaper, and they are good at wicking away moisture.
