Rated 4 out of 5 by Larfy1 from Free Huggies! Hometesters club sent me a free box of Huggies size 2 to try out. My little one isn't in a 2 yet so to do the review I used them on my niece who is usually a pampers kid. Bu I loved them for her. They are so much more flexible and they don't sag with one tiny pee. This box of Huggies got my sister to change brands!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Angelbabii5 from Super soft and absorbent Keeps little bottoms super dry and comfy all day. Easy to change and fit snuggly around babies bottom. I liked that we didn't have any leaks while using the diapers. I would definitely recommend these diapers to any parents who have little ones in their diaper stage.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tori18 from Great for daytime We love these diapers during the day! However, I wish Huggies made an overnight version with the same clean ingredients. Our baby sleeps 10-11 hours a night and her jammies are almost always damp in the morning when we use these diapers. We have had to buy overnight diapers from another brand just to use for night time.

Rated 4 out of 5 by bubbl3s9 from Great product We really enjoyed our free sample of Huggies diapers. They worked great and we only had some blow outs from overnights. Definitely a good option to my regular brand. Would purchase again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DANNY9 from Fantastic design I like how the elastic is shaped, especially in the back. It really held up to even the most extreme blowouts. I really have nothing else to say about it. I would certainly buy these diapers again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Katie6 from Fantastic I loved these diapers. After using just one time I immediately knew I was going to purchase another box on my next shopping trip.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Smith8 from Not a fan The fit is poor and bunches at the waist. I don’t like that the packaging is attempting to be a bit misleading making it seem as though they are non-toxic diapers. If you are looking for a diaper that protects babies skin just use one of the brands with truly clean ingredients.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jilla7 from Great fit These diapers fit my daughter perfectly. She never leaked through or had a blowout. The designs are nicely visible and the blue line shows right away when she is wet. The diaper is so soft on her sensitive skin. This is a great diaper to use from newborn stage through crawler stage and possibly even beyond.

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.
