Rated 5 out of 5 by Momofthreeinky10 from Softer and Thicker Wipes I am a repeat Huggies natural care wipes purchaser but after trying this new type of their wipes, this is what I’ll be buying in the future! The skin essentials wipes are much thicker, more absorbent and are not irritating to delicate skin.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kkost8 from Huggies skin essential wipes Huggies skin essential wipes were thick and cleaned well. For messier diapers, these were great- helped prevent irritation from wiping and cleaned up well. For simpler messes, it seems a. It much/like wasting a good product. I prefer our Huggies natural care for quick diaper changes but will use the skin essentials for number two messes.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Megz19904 from Nice clean Huggies never disappoints with their products. These were great for sensitive skin no smell. I like they don’t tear easy. Maybe an easier to use packaging for getting the wipes out. Overall good product

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jessanother15 from Thick and absorbant wipes These wipes allow you to use less compared to other brands, on those blowout and dirty diapers. They're gentle on baby's body and I'm able to get a good clean without have to use more and more wipes. For the tougher jobs I'd use these wipes regularly, however for only a wet diaper I feel like it's almost wasting these thicker fully absorbant wipes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MissDeet13132 from Nice feeling Feels so smooth on the skin while still being strong enough to hold together and even be folded a few times over. The scent is nice and not over powering, overall these wipes are great for everything.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AluraMilani2 from Just in time I was literally looking for water wipes when this came across. A lot of wipes generally leave me with red inflamed skin even though they claim to be hypoallergenic. I tried these and they got the job done as well as it didn’t break me out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Harvey139 from Good Stuff I love these Huggies Skin Essential baby wipes. They cleaned my kid pretty well. They also had a substantial amount of moisture and didn't tear easily. They also seemed bigger than the average baby wipe.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Kdawgy10 from okay wipes These wipes were just okay. The package was difficult to open, and they have a hard time staying shut after taking a wipe out. Which leads to the package staying open and the wipes drying out. I would not buy these again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by iviviviviv2 from amazing I love these wipes! I wish there were more in the package. They work really well and are thick which I love. I would say these are good for travel since they are a thin package with not a lot in them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jojo1 from Love it Love the texture, smell and everything about it. I had my husband and older kids used them on my little ones too and they also loved it. I'm glad it didn't irritated my baby's bottom.
