Rated 5 out of 5 by BriWalls9 from Seem to be a great fit and Dry These diapers are pretty good. The fit is near perfect and the diapers hold up against moisture. I will start buying these for my child…One improvement I would make is to have more in the package and have more colorful prints

Rated 5 out of 5 by YenNguyen7 from Skin lover diaper Huggies Skin Essentials diapers impressed me with their excellent fit and softness. The material feels gentle against my baby's skin and provides a snug yet flexible fit that allows for easy movement. The elastic waistband and leg cuffs prevent leaks effectively without being too tight. One of the standout features of these diapers is their absorbency. Even during overnight use, we experienced no leaks or discomfort. They are hypoallergenic and free from harsh chemicals like chlorine, latex, and fragrance, which reassures me about their impact on my baby's delicate skin. Overall, highly recommended for parent that looking for a skin friendly diapers.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Amandla8 from Soft, comfortable, but leaky These were so soft and really seemed to work with sensitive skin. The only problem we had was that they leaked more than once. They are great daytime nappies if you change them often.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mommybear236 from absorbent diapers I was surprised at how well these held up for my son. They held a lot of pee without any leaks or diaper exploding. I would suggest them best be used during the day time!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Steph10 from Pretty good Pretty good, love that these are a little cleaner than most diapers on the market but would still love if they were even cleaner - i.e. total chlorine free and made with organic cotton etc.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AmyN6 from Great Huggies, not the best diaper! I have always used Huggies for all my children growing up. So of course when my daughter blessed us with my first grand child i was more that excited for about . Long story short, the diapers were amazing on her skin she did not get one diaper rash which that in itself is worth …

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cathy9 from Not bad the diapers did not cause any skin issues for my baby sensitive skin but I wish the sizing was better. Huggies seems to run a little on the smaller side.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Angie8710 from Huggies Essentials Diapers I am currently pregnant and preparing for baby and can not wait to use these diapers. The first thing I noticed when taking a diaper out of the packaging was how soft the diapers are and no smell. Being Fragrance free is a must for me. Second when I looked inside and saw the SkinProtect line I got excited this is something I have never seen in another diaper. I can't wait for baby to get here so I can really try them out!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Socks8 from No leaks - great product! Trusted brand delivers great product that causes far less leaks (so far no leaks at all) than the product I had been using. My baby is cleaner and drier. It’s also a great comfort to know that there are no harsh ingredients so my baby is getting the best care possible when I use these diapers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lizalder6 from Super soft for babies skin. I tried Huggies skin essentials diapers on my baby and loved them. The material is soft cotton and since these are Huggies, you know they make great diapers that are both strong and soft. We had no leaks or skin irritations. The diaper was flexible enough to control messes but also allow for baby movement. Definitely recommend to other families to try.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mamaneedscoffee10 from Best Huggies Yet As a mom of 2 littles with sensitive skin. Needless to say we’ve tried just about every diaper out on the market. I was excited to try the new Huggies Skin Essentials Diapers but skeptical they’d make much of a difference! These diapers turned out to be a life saver for our 2 month old! Who we just couldn’t seem to get her diaper rash to go away no matter how hard we tried! After a couple days after switching diapers her rash was gone! These are amazing, super absorbent, buttery soft, and blow out free! I’d highly recommend them to any mom with a sensitive little one! My only hope is that they will eventually come out with some cute designs!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Des81683 from New #1 go to for diapers I really love using these diapers on my boys. They’re soft, gentle on their skin and very absorbent. The diapers fit perfectly and never leak. In my opinion they are well worth the price! I recommend them to all my friends who are also parents.

Rated 2 out of 5 by victoriatrev from Work good but not a fan I went in to Target last week to buy the special delivery diapers just to find out they took out all of their stock and only offered this new kind and the normal snugglers which we love. We have used Huggies since we brought our baby home (8 months now) and I have to say I am disappointed. No the diapers do not leak through so they are just as absorbent, but the fit is awful after our baby moves around. All other Huggies diapers when used we put the straps flat and parallel to each other, as we did with this kind. But we noticed at every diaper change the straps would fold in two and not be protecting his sides anymore to prevent leakage properly. Would not recommend this new kind, just stick with the normal Snugglers or the Special Delivery…
