Rated 5 out of 5 by KammieLM7 from Living up to the Huggies name! Huggies Skin Essentials performs just as well as the other types of Huggies diapers: Huggies Little Snugglers, Little Movers, Snug &Dry, and Special Delivery. (Yes I have tried them all!) They have the typical wetness indicator and do a great job containing diaper blow outs! We haven’t had any leaks overnight. I have also noticed less occurrence of diaper rashes which is the purpose of these diapers. I haven’t been needing to use diaper rash cream as a result. Overall, I recommend these diapers especially if your baby is prone to diaper rashes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bpatt924 from Lasts all night As most Huggies diapers, these Huggies Skin Essentials diapers take the cake. They’re soft on the inside and the outside, the leg holes are roomy and soft, the elastic is more flexible and less stiff and plasticy than a lot of other diapers. These diapers can be a little bulky under tighter pants, but I believe that the shape and size of them is what makes them last through the night. I will be repurchasing!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pattypattpat2 from Comfy baby, happy mom Although the diapers arrived late and my baby had outgrown them by the time they arrived, I have to say that Huggies Skin Essentials are the only diapers I trust to prevent a blowout. The leak protection is outstanding, with a secure fit that stays in place even during the most active moments. I also love how gentle they are on my baby’s skin—no irritation or redness, even with prolonged use. The softness and breathability give me peace of mind, knowing my baby is comfortable. It’s a shame I couldn’t use them this time, but for any parent looking for a diaper they can depend on, Huggies is the way to go!

Rated 5 out of 5 by SamK8 from No complaints! These are nice diapers! My little one has sensitive skin (breaks out easily if not in cloth diapers) and did well with these! No fragrance or irritating ingredients. Diapers fit well and no blow outs or leaks.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Honda3 from Is Huggies Skin Essentials Worth It? When I was reviewing this product, my daughter already had diaper rash, so I thought it would be a good time to provide an honest review. However, I noticed that using the diapers and applying diaper rash cream made it worse. I tried using the diapers for 3-4 days, but there was no improvement. Eventually, I stopped using them to see if they were the problem. I don't believe they were, but overall, I have to say that they did not work for us.

They fit him like a dream, and after testing them for several days, I can vouch for their top-notch performance and quality. The high absorbency means fewer changes, which is a huge win. Plus, their long-lasting nature makes them a great bang for our buck – totally economical!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Morgan8 from My babie’s favorite diaper We recently switched to Huggies Snug & Dry diapers, and I’m really impressed. They’re super soft and gentle on the baby’s skin, with no irritation or redness at all. They’re also really absorbent, which means fewer leaks and longer stretches of dryness, especially overnight. If you’re looking for reliable diapers that keep your baby comfortable and dry, these are definitely worth trying!
