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: 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!

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!

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.

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.

Great for sensitive skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All my kids have sensitive skin and easily get diaper rash. We are always using diaper rash cream. These diapers are great. My son is 6 months old and has had no leaks and the built in zinc oxide has really helped prevent redness

Good fit and no leaks or irritation
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've always liked the fit and quality of huggies, these new diapers are no exception. They fit great on my 8 month old, seemed to be comfortable and non irritating and had cute disney themed designs. We used the whole pack and didn't have any diaper rash or irritation. These have all the same great features we love in huggies (blow out protection, absorbant, etc) plus the added benefit of reducing skin irritation. We didn't have any issues with blow outs while using these and they held well overnight without morning leaks. Overall I would recommend these diapers.

My baby loves them.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My baby loves them. They are soft, flexible, and provide good everyday absorbency. The diaper fits comfortably with stretchy sides and includes a wetness indicator, which makes it easy to know when it’s time for a change. The packaging it’s nice and colorfully. The diapers feel well made, however they are thinner than higher end Huggies line so they may not hold well overnight. Overall a god product.

Huggies household from now on
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to be a pampers fan with my daughter but with my son we have become a Huggies household! Since he grew into the size 3, he seems to really enjoy these Huggies. They are soft and do not have a loud crinkle when he moves around. He seems to enjoy them too and does not fuss at all. Even when he is wet or dirty they do not stick to him and come off effortlessly.

Luxuriously soft diaper
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Huggies Skin Essentials diapers are sooo soft and feel so luxurious. They’re very absorbent and I have not experienced a leak or blow out while using them. I love the fit around the legs and that they do not rub against sensitive thighs. My baby is on the smaller side so sometimes diapers can fit awkwardly, but these fit like a glove!

Leak, leak, leak
New design is TERRIBLE. My toddler can’t last more than 1.5- 2 hours in them before they start leaking and I have to do a whole outfit change for her. Literally the worst diapers ever.

I highly recommend you give them a try!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Huggies skin essential diapers have been one of my favorite diapers to try. They feel luxurious, lightweight, and comfortable. My baby is able to move around freely and she is more comfortable since the diaper is thinner and larger than their other styles. They are well made with comfort and skin sensitivity in mind. And there have been no blowouts!
