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 - 2 years 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!

New design, not improved
New design, but not improved. Somehow poop leaks through the back of the diaper and appears as little circle dots on clothes. Not out the top or side legs, but literally soaks through the top of the diaper right above where the liner ends.

Soft and absorbent
The Huggies skin essentially diapers work well. They are soft on the skin and absorb the pee well. Make sure you pull the flaps out by the bottom to ensure it catches the baby poop. The size two is smaller than some other brand size twos.

Soft, absorbent, and reliable!
I’ve been really impressed with these Huggies diapers! The fit is one of my favorite things about them. They’re snug and secure without seeming too tight or leaving marks on my baby’s skin. They’re also super soft and have held up really well for both daytime wear and longer overnight stretches. Absorbency has been great, and we haven’t had issues with leaks or blowouts while using them. I also appreciate show well they stay in place even now that my baby is constantly moving and rolling around. Overall, they feel comfortable, dependable, and well made. Definitely a diaper I would continue to use!

Soft but solid
These diapers worked really well for my baby. The texture was very soft but it still performed well-no leakage at all. It feels like really good quality materials, and the designs on the diapers are cute too. Overall it fits really well, and it’s flexible in the ways you would want a diaper to be

Very Absorbent Huggies
These were unfortunately still too big for our son, but they are very absorbent. The absorbency was put to the test by using water. It was surprisingly good at holding liquid. I imagine it does well on odors as we use Huggies brand currently but different versions and in size 1. They are easy to dispose of as well. I just chuck them in the trash once done. I can fit the wipes in there before I throw it away. These are five outta five for us. We'll be using these once he can fit in them.

Soft quality!
These are sooo lovely. Soft. Unscented. Super absorbent. My baby has very sensitive skin and these have never cause any kind of irritation. They don’t rip, either, which always drives me crazy when that happens! Even though they’re thin we don’t have leaks with these, which means baby sleeps better — a secret hidden bonus 😉👼🤍

luxury!
man, these diapers are luxury! I kinda wish I had this softness from some of my clothing! I like how it's backed by a brand that I know, so sizing wouldn't be unusual. furthermore, besides the softness, I like the quality and fit of these diapers. no leaks yet and the fit has not affected my kid's movements yet so this is definitely a win!

Great diaper!
We absolutely love these diapers for our little girl. It is hard to find a good diaper that is consistent and reliable. These are fantastic and are easy to put on. They don’t leak and they don’t have harsh chemicals or anything else in there. Her skin stays very clear and doesn’t get irritated!

Absorbent & Soft
These diapers are absorbent & gentle on baby’s skin. My son gets diaper rashes sometimes & the diaper seems gentle & more breathable than other ones we’ve used. They seem to be on the slimmer side but we have not had any leaks. I would definitely buy them & highly recommend!

Soft and have a great capacity
I’m in love with these diapers! There are so soft and feels comfortable. It has a great capacity. Since they sent me a wrong size I wasn’t able to try it on my baby. However, I have run a test. I poured 16.9oz of water into it and it was able to hold this amount of water. Great product and definitely going to try the right size.

The Huggies Skin Essentials Diapers are a great option for everyday use. They have a soft, comfortable material that feels gentle on baby’s skin, while the strong absorbent provides good performance and helps with leaks. The packaging is simple and easy to recognize, and the diapers are convenient to dispose of after use.

Great for Sensitive Skin!
I really enjoyed these diapers! They are true to size. I used them for a week while my baby had a diaper rash. They were great for his sensitive skin! They feel softer & stretchier than a typical Huggie, while also being very lightweight. I felt like they didn’t trap as much moisture as a standard diaper, so his bottom could breathe better. His rash resolved quickly. They fastened very easily & it stayed snug! I would recommend, especially for babies who have sensitive skin.
