Q: Why do they have a strong chemical smell after diapers getting wet ??
submitted by Pv - 10 months 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. 🤷🏻♀️

Other materials used include polypropylene, polyester, and polyethylene -- all synthetic materials designed to enhance the fit of the diaper and help stop leaks.

Sadly 14 month old baby broke out under wasteband.
The diaper would have been great if the baby would not have broken out on the back waistband

We love these diapers. After one use saw immediate reduction in irritation and rash and they have stretch and fit our tall skinnier babies so well. For reference my baby is 50th percentile in height and 35 percentile in weight and still wears a size 2. To note her sister was 90th percentile and 80th I think in weight so both long and lean

RUNS SMALL causing leaks
In my opinion Huggies run small compared to all other brands. With the smaller running diapers you end up having issues with leaks and blowouts. My baby is 11 month around 22lbs and should be in a size 4 (which she is in other brands Millie Moon, Bum Bum & Pampers) but she has leaks and blowouts in Huggies. Very frustrating because I have a ton of size 4’s that should be working for some time since they say they fit up to 34lbs.

Open Boxes
Boxes of diapers arrived open. This is unacceptable as this is a baby item and the boxes should come sealed.

WORST DIAPER EVER
These diapers SUCK and that’s an understatement. My baby has peed through these every day this week and lucky for me he’s been laying on me every time. Crazy thing is the yellow strip that turns blue when wet isn’t even blue when he does it.. like the pee literally escapes and soaks everything BUT the diaper. The top of the diaper bunches up terribly at the waist and God forbid you need to adjust the straps.. they literally disintegrate if you try to adjust them after putting them on. I was hesitant about using pampers due to skin sensitivity but honestly nothing beats swaddlers.

Amazing diaper, target shipped open dirty product
Received open exposed diapers inside a closed shipping box; hence, item was in poor state when packed and it was still shipped. So gross, can’t use, and now I have to ship this trash back. The conviene of getting home delivery is loss if I have to find time to return.

Go to diapers!
These are great! Not my favorite but always my go to when Parasol aren’t available or are out of stock. I love how adjustable the waist band is. Absorbent but not quite as soft as other brands.
