Rated 5 out of 5 by MoniqueL4 from Perfect for my newborn I used these on my newborn and was very impressed with how mild they are. I was nervous about them irritating his skin but he responded very well to it. I'd definitely but these and recommend them to others!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lupe3 from Nice wipes The wipes are strong and thick. They are really soft and good for cleaning up a big mess. They were really gentle and didn’t cause my baby any irritation like some other wipes have. Overall it was a very nice wipe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JenP8 from Love these! We will totally buy this again. We were already a fan of Huggies, and loved trying a new type of wipes. These are excellent wipes. No improvements needed. We recommend them!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Eisha10 from Favorite Huggies feel, with no junk! There has never been a wipe I was more ecstatic about using! With 99% water and zero harsh ingredients, these Huggies have the signatures thick feel I always search for as my go-to brand! Sometimes it’s so hard to find a wipe that’s free of fragrance but these hit the mark for my two boys with terrible Eczema, (ages 23 months and 5 months) so it’s a MUST to always consider every ingredient I use on their delicate skin. Using other “clean or pure” wipes I’ve always had PTSD from the feeling of wiping poop and it accidentally SMEARS on your hand because the wipe is so thin it rips or bunches, and now it’s a thing of the past! I’m sure if you can relate, you’ll be giving these a try!

Rated 4 out of 5 by CourtneyP1 from Wonderful Product! Being a first-time Momma, there are SO many options out there and so much pressure to lean one way or the other. Having the opportunity to try these was Great! They are very comparable to water wipes and the other options out there that are 99% water. Highly recommend as a wonderful option for your little!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaleis9 from Soft and moist For the baby best, definitely appreciate the soft and moist towels to prevent rash or hard surface on the skin. The scent was pleasant and did not overpower any senses. Would recommend for babies especially new norms

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kenny1 from Works great for sensitive skin!! My children both have sensitive skin. They breakout often with other wipes. Love that these are fragrance free and mostly water ingredients! Definitely saw a difference with the first few diaper changes! I even use it on their faces to clean!! They are a thicker wipe too compared to others so it really gets the nasty :)

Rated 3 out of 5 by Britt1 from Water, but not completely clean I like that other brands are trying for the cleaner, less ingredient products, but they’re still falling short of taking out all the ingredients that could be harmful. Honestly, I believe we should be adopting a lot of the European standards when it comes to the ingredients in our food, cosmetics and especially our baby products. Lots of health problems, mental and physical, and the ingredients are what we should be looking at. I would recommend these to people I know aren’t as focused on ingredients as I am. But I think all companies could be doing better!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Richellemp17 from Thick and soft These baby wipes are perfect for those messy diaper changes. They're thick so your finger doesn't pop through and they're soft. They clean so well! And they didn't cause any irritation on baby!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sylvia2 from Love these wipes I am a big fan of these wipes, you can tell the difference in the thickness compared to the other wipes that I have used from huggies. I really like that these ones are accepted by the National Eczema Association as this is something all of my littles have and finding things that work for their skin is so hardf.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Stacia2 from SO Soft! These Huggies Skin Essential wipes are super soft and way thicker than the Simply Clean wipes! I love that they are soft and withstand blowouts with no problems! These are free of fragrance and 99% water! I'm definitely going to start buying these for my baby, by far one of the best wipes I've tried! Absolutely LOVE these!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kray1 from Works Great These baby wipes work great and I feel comfortable using them on my baby's skin. They are nice and thick and I feel like i was able to clean a little better with one swipe without it leaking through onto my hand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by tifftiffgurl31 from Well made wipes I liked these wipes, because they are thick and made with good ingredients. I felt like my hands weren’t getting dirty as I changed my son’s diaper with them. I also feel safe, wiping his face with them. I use wipes to clean up after meals, and these seem clean ingredient wise. I received these wipes for free and exchange for an honest review.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MarinaT10 from Plush, smells good, cleans alright When you think high quality this is what you’re looking for. It’s plush and smells really nice. It’s gentle on the skin and adds some additional moisture to the body but I didn’t feel like it did any better of a job with cleaning that other brands. My kids seemed to enjoyed having their hands and face cleaned with it that other wipes but didn’t seem to care much during diaper changes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MommySunshine3 from Great wipes for big messes These wipes are nice and thick. I really like the texture they have which makes it easy to wipe off messes. I love that I don't need many of these wipes to clean my daughter's blowouts which makes it much quicker and easier to change her. I also appreciate that these are fragrance free and gentle on baby skin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jean7 from Gets the job done! My baby only has blowouts. I needed something without a lot of chemicals that is also strong so I settled on these wipes. They did the trick and only one wipe needed. I give the wipes two thumbs!up!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Katie6 from Gentle These wipes are super gentle. Non drying or irritating. They work amazing and I haven’t had to use a ton to get the job done. I will definitely be repurchasing the bigger pack of these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pparm663 from Great wipes! Great wipes! Love that these are fragrance free, and don't contain harsh ingredients. They are thick so they don't rip easily either. I would definitely buy these again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AshleyH6 from Tried & True for Huggies I found this product to be the best of both worlds and I would highly recommend to others. It is a thicker wipe than others while still offering peace of mind protection from a natural wipe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nymom11 from Great wipes The Huggies skin essential wipes are great. We prefer them over other brands that we have used. I love that it’s 99% water with zero harsh ingredients, fragrance free so Great for sensitive skin and 20% thicker than other wipes. I like that they stay wet and feel that they really clean well. These will be our new go to wipes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Beck2 from Cleans well The wipe was a decent thickness with just enough dampness and texture to clean baby’s bottom with fewer wipes. We also love that you can pull one wipe at a time. We’ve tried other clean wipes which are never thick enough or they pull out in clumps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaymau4 from loved it I loved this wipe because it was thick and did not tear apart when I was wiping my daughter. Also I love that its 99 percent water as this is important to me because my daughter has sensitive skin.
