Rated 5 out of 5 by Lexiebee8 from A good diaper! Huggies Special Delivery size 1 diapers really surprised me. Sure, they were a little big on my newborn but I was always hesitant to buy Huggies as they weren't "Honest Diapers" but that being said... The diaper is very soft and not irritating for newborn skin, the baby hadn't any blowouts nor leaks, and no rashes. The fit contours to the body and my baby is 6 lbs and a skinny string bean. Thank you Huggies for changing my views

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ashleyeakin943 from Great for sensitive skin I recently started using Huggies Skin Essentials Diapers for my little one, and I am incredibly impressed. I got them to test from Home Tester Club, and they have been fantastic. The diapers are exceptionally soft and gentle on my baby's sensitive skin. We haven't experienced any rashes or irritation since switching to these. They provide excellent leak protection, even overnight, and the fit is perfect, keeping my baby comfortable and dry. I also appreciate the wetness indicator, which makes it easy to know when it's time for a change. Overall, Huggies Skin Essentials Diapers have exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend them to any parent looking for reliable and skin-friendly diapers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kwebs8 from So soft and awesome When it comes to diapers, I used to think I’ll buy whatever is cheapest and on sale. However after using these, I don’t know if I could ever go back to a regular old diaper! Love them and the absorbency!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Aiysha08277 from Great fit and comfortable I left Huggies Skin Essentials on my baby while she took a nap and this diaper left her in excellent condition. She didn't have any red skin from irrationtion nor did she have a diaper rash. This has definitely become my favorite choice of Huggies diapers as a parent we know skin care is very important.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lina231 from Huggies Durable, reliable diapers for my child. I highly recommend this product as there is no skin issues either.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Megan6 from Gentle on Skin Overall, these diapers worked pretty well. They are very soft and didn't irritate my baby's skin. The best part is definitely the blowout pocket at the back of the diaper. I would probably recommend these more for babies with chunkier thighs because the leg holes were pretty big on my baby. The only blowout we had in them was through the leg hole, but she has little chicken legs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CourtneyHaynie3 from Super soft and durable! These last longer than the average diaper and are so soft! They never leak out like the other brands. Much better than Pampers brand in my opinion! I would definitely recommend above the competition.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Marilxo239 from Very soft & natural! I really enjoyed these diapers. I thought they kept my baby super dry and they were snug around the leg which I like to prevent leaks. I definitely purchase them. The only downfall with my sample was that I received it so late that I really didn’t have as much time as I would’ve liked to try it however, after using it for just around five days, it proved how well it worked and my son has such sensitive skin, so it was amazing to know That these were great for the sensitive skin babies. Great prize, great quality. !

Rated 5 out of 5 by MeganC1 from Excellent Comfort and Protection I was gifted Huggies Skin Essentials size 1 diapers for my honest review. Huggies Skin Essentials offer excellent comfort and protection for newborns. They feature a soft, hypoallergenic liner that is gentle on delicate skin, minimizing the risk of irritation. The diapers are designed with a snug fit and an elastic waistband to prevent leaks while allowing for free movement. As a NICU mom the elastic waistband really helps get the perfect fit on my tiny baby. I appreciate the wetness indicator, which changes color to signal when a change is needed. Overall, Huggies Skin Essentials size 1 is a reliable choice for keeping newborns dry and comfortable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mel405 from PREMIUM QUALITY DIAPERS I am really impressed with the quality of the Huggies Skin Essentials Diapers. I feel this way because they are essentially Leak proof and work alot better than the previous brand I have been buying. I also like these diapers are dermatologist approved. I strive to buy most if not all of my products this way. I think it's important and really makes me trust the brand once i know it has been approved by Doctors. I also like the fact these diapers have no fragrance and no parabens and that takes one less worry off my mind. I definitely recommend the Huggies Skin Essentials Diapers to all of my friends and family.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Mrsgoody from Blowouts everyday Im sorry but whose idea was it to discontinue special delivery and replace it with these?! My son was in special delivery for a year and we never had an issue. We loved them and there were never blowouts or rashes. Since switching to these, literally every morning there is a blowout and now he is getting diaper rashes. These feel cheap, crunchy and they don’t hold anything in. We didn’t even get through a whole case, I donated the rest because these are just that terrible for us and I’m so tired of the constant blowouts. I’m so sad after over a year I will have to switch to another brand. Extremely disappointed in these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NewMamaLena2 from Great for sensitive skin babies! These diapers are a win for a ftm with an eczema baby. She has super sensitive skin, so it’s reassuring these diapers are made for sensitive skin. They seem extra absorbing and I like the shaping of them for potential blowouts and comfort for her! Also the Disney theme is super cute.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Molly55554 from Great diapers These worked really nice on my babies skin. He sometimes gets irritation from diapers so we have to be picky. These did great with no irritation. They fit him well too. Accurate sizing. They did well with preventing blowouts. I would purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FrizzyFresh6 from Dependable These Huggies diapers fit well. They are also very reliable. They are soft and don’t irritate the skin. They also stay in place well and absorb a lot. I would definitely buy this again and recommend to anyone looking for some diapers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by OmarJ7 from Great fit and leak proof diapers I recently received Huggies Skin Essentials from Home Tester Club in exchange for my honest review and I absolutely loved how these diapers fit my child and performed. Huggies Skin Essentials have a firm but comfortable fit that won’t irritate your baby. These diapers also were true to the leak proof name. I definitely recommend these diapers to anyone looking for a reliable diaper brand for their baby.
