A: Yes we just got a new box and our baby is so sensitive- originally why we found and stuck with these diapers is horribly broken out in areas that are clearly from the liner and diaper only. I’m so sad… onto find a new diaper.

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!
The Huggies Skin Essentials diapers are designed with comfort and sensitivity in mind, making them a popular choice among parents. Many guests appreciate their softness, effective absorbency, and the inclusion of zinc oxide to help prevent diaper rash. While some have noted issues with fit and leaks, the overall consensus highlights their gentle nature on sensitive skin and the adorable designs that make diapering a more enjoyable experience for both baby and parent.

Had high hopes for this soft diaper
Was really hopeful , but very disappointed.. the 2nd diaper used started coming apart after it was put on my granddaughter.. the outer cotton lining was pulling apart exposing the middle liner .. they are pretty thin and don’t seem very durable at all.. they are soft on the part that goes against the baby’s skin.. but more protection is needed from a diaper as far as it staying together. Will be returning only because it comes apart at the seams..

Soft and comfy
Nice soft material perfect for a baby's bottom! No sudden leakage and one diaper lasted at least a few hours, which is what we like!! I'd love to try more huggies or pampers brands!

Great quality! Runs small
The softness is comparable to its high end counterpart parts. Compared to other size 2 diapers, this line runs on the smaller side for both width and length. East fastening and did not have any leakage accidents!

Works well but runs small
Fits well, soft material, absorbs well and the blue line is easy to see if there is any moisture. It was lightweight and not bulky yet held a good amount of urine. There were no issue with diaper rash or any other skin reactions. The only drawback is the size. I attached it in comparison to the current brand of diaper I use- it was almost the same size as the “1” compared to the “2”.

Used to love - hope to still love them
I really liked this brand when my baby was in newborn size, but this package made him breakout. I’m not sure if it was just a coincidence but as soon as we switched to this pack he got a rash. I’m gonna switch back and let it clear up before trying again. We had such a great experience with them as a Newborn I’m really hoping to be able to use them again!

Solid diaper
The diapers were very soft with a nice design. They held well for my 6 month old and if I didnt already have a preferred diaper, then I would likely be using this one. Im not sure how they would hold up with an active toddler but for my young baby, they held well and did their job!

Absorbent and cute design
These have such a cute design for girls and they are a nice thicker diaper that holds a good amount making it a good option for nighttime. They run true to size and fit nicely. Huggies and pampers are my top two.

Good, not great
I liked these diapers, but I definitely didn’t feel they were as soft, absorbent, or as good of a fit as the current brand we use right now. They were very flexible and fastened super well, that was my favorite part of them. I liked them enough to continue to use them, but I’m not sure if I would buy them unless they were quite a bit cheaper than the brand I currently buy, which they aren’t.

No leaks, no irritation, just a soft and dependable diaper.
I’ve had a great experience with these diapers so far. No leaks, no rashes. They are very soft and the absorbency is impressive. They are not too thick, and they don’t smell chemically. The fit is comfortable without feeling too tight. They have worked amazingly for my little one.

My favorite diapers!
My favorite diapers for our little boy. These diapers don’t have a scent to them, and they are made without any skin irritants. My son has never had a diaper rash with these diapers. I have no issues with leakage. They are very soft compared to other diapers. The designs on the diapers is adorable and light enough where you don’t see the design through clothes.

Well made diapers that provide great protection!
I really liked these diapers! The diapers are very soft and I am a huge diaper snob due to my LO having such horrible diaper rashes! The added zinc oxide into the linear was a huge relief on my part, knowing my LO was getting extra protection. The softness of the diaper was a great touch and i felt confident in what i was putting my LO in. The stretchiness in the back and sides if the diaper was nice i got a size 2 and my LO is 16 pounds, i do wish i would have sized up but i went based on weight of the packaging so if your LO is a little higher on the weight range i suggest sizing up! I felt the diapers held up well and contained a lot of mess and i didn’t have a single blowout with these diapers! Added bonus the diapers are super cute!

Best Huggies diapers
If you are going to use any Huggies brand diapers these are the ones to use. They're super soft and absorbent, super easy to fasten, don't have any leakage issues, and are all around the best quality for a great price.

Soft and comfortable for baby
These diapers are soft and comfortable for the baby. Although they are light, they absorb a tremendous amount of liquid and can even be used overnight. However, please note that the size runs a bit small compared to other brands. You might want to size up to ensure ultimate comfort.
