Rated 5 out of 5 by Mel7 from Smells Since day 1 my baby used the red box diapers I guess they are called little movers and I loved them but my baby started to develop a rash after 9 months, so we tried to change to another brand but didn’t like it so we heard about skin essentials and my only complaint is that the smell is strong sometimes I think my baby has popped but not, I’m not sure why smells like that. Other than that we love the skin essentials and the rash is gone!

Rated 1 out of 5 by GiGi Erica from Do Not Compare to "Special Delivery" - Poor Replacement!!! I purchased "Skin Essentials" when my grandson ran out of his last size 3 of "Special Delivery" diapers! We have used "Special Delivery" since he was born & it's very disappointing that they decided to get rid of a perfectly crafted item (materials/softness/leakproof/excellent protection). Thank God we have larger sizes that were purchased ahead of time to use as he grows - but this is still disappointing. I am NOT satisfied with the quality of "Skin Essentials" These do NOT compare one bit to "Special Delivery". Skin Essentials are thin diapers, the materials are not as soft as "Special Delivery" and appear to be rougher and a bit abrasive to the skin/touch, and they are not leakproof. My grandson is changed regularly/even overnight - Skin Essentials did NOT provide the protection that we experienced with "Special Delivery" We have since then purchased and tried snug & dry, little snugglers & little movers as we prefer the Huggies brand over other diaper brands -Sadly, NONE of these meet the standard of diapering that we desire for our growing baby. PLEASE...PLEASE... PLEASE BRING BACK HUGGIES "SPECIAL DELIVERY"!!! I don't understand how as a company you discontinue the best diaper on your lineup of diapers. FIX THIS PLEASE!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Sarah0128 from Bring back special delivery! These diapers are so thin compared to the special delivery. They are not plant based and not even close to the quality. Diapers cannot hold for 6 hours overnight without leaking and needing to change the babies whole outfit. Bring back special delivery!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Aingan from Asian Approve It is lightweight and absorbed very well. Keep my baby dry and especially doesn’t leave diaper rash on her. She is 3m now and I don’t think we gonna change to any other brand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Monie1 from our fav and now go to diapers! We been using them for quite some time now and love the feel and how absorbent they are. We’ve used all the other Huggies brands and prefer these ones over the rest.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Sara10 from 😢 Wanted to try something new, but absolutely do NOT recommend and are NOT leakproof. Constantly have to change my child clothes because he is leaking out after only peeing once. Used 3 boxes because we had already bought them and didn’t want to waste. We LOVE and definitely recommend the little snugglers/movers diaper (red package).

Rated 5 out of 5 by ThriftyDad10 from Excellent product! This was an amazing overall product. There was zero irritation or rash from these diapers which was great. Additionally,they are very soft and there were zero leaks (including overnight) which was a very nice benefit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Caitlyn7 from Great diapers! These work really well, they fit as they should have good absorbency, even lasting through the night without leaks.
