Rated 5 out of 5 by Yeseee3 from Love these wipes These wipes are much better than others in the market since I use less when cleaning my baby’s butt. They also have a design that makes cleaning so much better and really gets everything

Rated 5 out of 5 by ColleenG1 from Love these wipes! These wipes are great! I absolutely love that they’re hypoallergenic and help fight against diaper rashes. My baby has been having an issue with diaper rashes lately and I noticed an immediate difference once I started using these. The best feature of all for me is that these wipes are made with 99% water, giving added comfort and piece of mind about any potential harsh ingredients. The only downside is these wipes are a little on the pricey side. If they weren’t, I would absolutely make these my main go-to wipes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mandy7 from Great wipes These wipes are gentle enough for my babies sensitive skin and tough enough where they don’t break apart. They are great for on the go messes. I highly recommend them!

Rated 5 out of 5 by mrsvansciver3 from Thickest wipes I've ever used! These wipes have a luxurious thickness to them that makes them softer than any other wipes I've tried. They are sensitive so they didn't cause any irritation or rashes like some others do. I would've liked a little bit of natural fragrance on them but overall they were fantastic! My only concern would be that the thickness of the wipes means you'll get less wipes for your money because you can't fit anymore in the package.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Bella2 from Huggies Skin Essential Baby Wipes This product definitely was not favorite in my family. I like wipes with a natural smell and the package was a bit difficult to open when needed. I'd love a natural lavender or aloe scent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ky02166 from Love Huggies These wipes are great! They are thicker so I’m able to clean and use less wipes in the process. My son’s skin feel soft & moisturized also. Huggies has always been our brand. They really stepped up with these wipes. Hopefully I’ll be spending less on wipes or atleast really getting my money’s worth.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sue1210 from Great wipes These wipes are really great! The aren’t super thin, but not too thick either. The moisture in them was great! They were more wet than a lot of wipes, making them super easy to clean messes. They are a great all around wipe!

Rated 5 out of 5 by LLLL9 from So soft! Great wipes for my baby that has sensitive skin. It feels like a soft cloth and it doesn’t have any fragrance to it. I even use it on myself to wipe make up off and it doesn’t irritate my skin. The one thing I can say is it tears a little easy but other than that I like it. I will purchase these on my own but thank you for letting us try these out!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Maddi9 from Thick and holds well! These wipes are definitely a bit better than the regular Huggies wipes. They were extra thick and strong. The natural care ones break easily and when pulling one out a lot comes out Instead of one. With the other ones only one comes out at a time, I felt like the skin essentials were extra soft.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jess3 from We love Huggies! We were very happy with these wipes. Other wipes rip and are not soft. These are very nice. We highly recommend these wipes to other parents and will purchase them again. Thanks Huggies!
