Q: Why do they have a strong chemical smell after diapers getting wet ??
submitted by Pv - 1 year ago
A: I have also noticed this... it is a weird smell but also it's only when her diaper should have been changed throughout the night. So as long as you change her before its sagging, your good. 🤷🏻♀️

Q: what is the weight of the baby for these diapers
submitted by mimi - 4 months ago
A: Hi Mimi, please refer to our size chart to find the right size for your child. You can also visit our website for more information. Thanks!
The new Huggies Skin Essentials diapers have received mixed feedback from guests. While many appreciate the softness, absorbency, and gentle fit for sensitive skin, others express disappointment over the recent changes in design and materials, leading to rashes and leaks. The inclusion of zinc oxide is a highlight for preventing irritation. Overall, these diapers are favored for their comfort and effectiveness, but some guests long for the previous version's quality.

The absorbent gel beads from this diaper are leaking out, and the baby’s bottom is covered with these gel beads. This is harmful to the baby.
Old version is better than New version.
1 reply from Huggies team - 6 days ago
It sounds like the gel you're referring to is our non-toxic super absorbent material that expands as it gets wet. While this is a part of all our diapers, we wouldn't expect it to be escaping! We’d like to learn more to help make this right, so when you have a moment, please connect with one of our specialists by phone at 1-877-648-2484 (M-F, 8AM-5PM CT). Have a great day!

If I could give no stars, I would-- diaper exploded overnight
Originally, we were just disappointed because these diapers leaked overnight, pretty much every night. Our son does drink a lot of water, but other brands have held up just fine to that (we had to switch when Pampers Pure was out of stock) Last night, though, this diaper EXPLODED the inner chemicals all over him. I have never seen anything like it. Immediately discontinuing for nighttime use and will have to change super frequently during the day to use up the stash we have opened and can't return. Absolutely unacceptable, avoid at all costs

Hate the changes
I loved these diapers in the beginning. They where so soft and I loved the vents because it kept my baby dry. I hate the new liner with the dots. The diaper itself feels cheap and appears smaller in size. I’m so upset with these changes.

SUPER soft!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love when I find a good diaper for my baby because as moms we all know how hard it can be to find the perfect one. These Huggies are so soft WAY softer than the original Huggies! On top of that, the absorbency is great, we use these overnight with no leaks! They fit true to size and feel quite thick so you know you’re getting your moneys worth!

so I bought the newborn 76 count of these and absolutely fell in love!!! they fit my 2 month old preemie perfectly since she is in between sizes. I purchased the 180 version and they are NOT the same!!! Diapers are thin as paper and are not at all quality. very disappointed but will continue purchasing the 76 count because these are the only ones that fit her at the moment.

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

So disappointed in the new diapers
We were an absolute die hard Huggies skin essential family. NOTHING else was good enough for our baby girl! Untillll…. The diaper changed this year. We got a box of the new ones, and I had heard many negative reviews about them recently but decided to try them none the less. The past two nights she has peed through her diaper. The absorbency is NOTHING like the older ones. I am so upset and disappointed! She has never peed through a diaper in the middle of the night before. We will have to find a new diaper for her :-(

Please bring back the old version the new version is awful
The old version was so much better there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. It was the perfect quality, softness, & absorbency and the prints were precious the old design actually worked. The little vent holes helped keep mess away from my son’s bottom. These new ones just aren't the same. They don't feel as soft, and I hate that they no longer have the features that helped with diaper rash. I hate the bumpy liner and the diapers themselves feel plastic & chemically 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. If it's not broken, don't fix it. I hope others agree this is not the same quality as before I’m disappointed in Huggies and had to switch to pampers amore version it’s the closet diaper to the old skin essentials.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These diapers are amazing. I used them on my 10 month old. They fit him very comfortably and they keep him dry all night. They have adorable designs also and no oder at all when he wakes up.
