Rated 1 out of 5 by Bring back special delive from Skin Essentials I was skeptical about purchasing to begin with. Once I opened the box, I was definitely disappointed. I instantly regretted purchasing them; they are super thin and the outside feels rough, like little snugglers. I don't know how we're going to get through the nights. Special Delivery was my go-to; had no problems. Returning ASAP hopefully they will take it back

Rated 5 out of 5 by Amy188 from Still thinnest Huggies Diapers never fails me. The new skin essentials are even better. I used to always say, I wish Huggies would make softer diapers and behold they have and they are great. No problems with rashes or leaks even after long wears. Absolute must have!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Yanette6 from Great absorbent diapers Very surprising the quality was great. They were soft they were resistant they were durable they definitely held a lot of baby urine. There is no blowouts there was no saggy but went over filled with urine. After testing them out I decided to only buy this brand. My son suffers from sensitive skin and he had no skin markings or rashes. I love the way they look and felt. There is no small to chemical dyes. Or heavy print on the diapers that would contain chemicals. The waist was soft and the elastic was great it expanded quite a bit that means it's going to be able to last him longer than most diapers with the stretch they have. The design was cute subtle. I would recommend these to all my friends specifically the newborn babies their skins are so precious and so sensitive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gabrielle7 from Huggies This product is so good! The diapers are very absorbent and great at keeping my little girls little bum so dry and rash free! In my opinion they do run a bit bigger than other brands but I’m okay with that! Overall I give this product a 10/10

Rated 5 out of 5 by Queermama833 from Huggies impressed our family yet again! These diapers definitely solved the issue for us with diaper rash raging again and again. So super soft and they held up during the night time and during playtime. These might just be the next new thing on our family's essentials list! Thank you huggies for always being a company I can count on to help where moms love the help.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WanderlustJen1 from Soft, fragrance free, sturdy tabs I have a 22 month old child who is very active and who also wears diapers. This is my second child, and so I have some experience with many brands of diapers. The Huggies Skin Essentials is a really great diaper because it is such a gentle product in terms of feel of the diaper and that it has no scent. It also has this great SkinProtect liner with little holes to help trap/absorb liquids. The fit of the diaper is nice, not too saggy on the bottom, even if wet. The tabs really stick well, even making it a little hard to get them going at the start, but I'd rather that than a flimsy tab coming apart.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DariaMus6 from Huggies I recently tried out the Huggies diaper cover, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. The product is soft, comfortable, and keeps my baby dry all day. It fits perfectly and doesn’t cause any irritation. Overall, I’m very pleased with the quality and performance of this diaper cover. Highly recommend!” Feel free to adjust it if you’d like to add any specific details!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Matt303 from 100% Leak-Proof & Safe For Babies.. As soon as I started using these diapers on my baby, her diaper rash started to clear up which was amazing! She really loves the Disney designs on them & I love the fact that they're actually 100% leak-proof and that isn't a lie. So for those main reasons, I definitely will be buying these when U run out & would recommend them!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimberly161 from Great diaper I really like these diapers. They are stretchy, absorb well, and are soft for the skin. I like that they are neutral and don’t have any strong scents. I would recommend these. I feel they are a more premium diaper than a regular huggie.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kval292 from Best diaper I've ever used I absolutely love these diapers. I have never been the biggest fan of huggies, but this specific kind blew me away. It is super absorbent, extremely soft, and after removing the diaper. My baby's skin was not in the slightest bit red or irritated. This is my go to diaper now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyMomma5 from Essential for Infants Huggies Skin Essentials are a must-have for delicate baby skin. Not only did these diapers protect my four-month old from leaks, but they were phenomenal at protecting her from diaper rash too. She started sleeping through the night, and even though her diaper is full in the morning, it’s all contained and her skin looks soft and smooth. One time she even pooped during a nap. I’m not sure how long she had been sitting in it, but it seemed like it had been a while. She still came out of that without a rash. A+ protection.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Escas10 from So absorbent I love the Huggies brand for diapers. That is the only brand of diapers I get. They absorbent so much liquid. They hold in the spillage, if you will.

Rated 5 out of 5 by tifftiffgurl31 from Keeps my baby dry! I loved using these diapers for my newborn in the first month of his life! I got them free to test and will consider buying more as he grows. They absorb poop and other liquids well, which is so important when it comes to newborns. I don’t like other brands that let the liquids sit on top and against my baby’s bum. These diapers help avoid diaper rash!

Rated 3 out of 5 by JanellaJS3 from Soft and Gentle, But Leaks Are a Hassle Huggies Skin Essentials diapers are decent but not outstanding. They are soft and gentle on my baby’s skin, which is a plus. However, they occasionally leak, especially during the night, which can be inconvenient. The fit is generally good, but the tabs sometimes don't stick as well as I’d like. Overall, they are an average choice—possibly suitable for daytime use but not reliable enough for overnight protection.

Rated 3 out of 5 by GiaK7 from Skin Essentials Diapers I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review! The Mickey Mouse designs made my child very excited to wear! The leak protection wasn’t as great as other diapers. I used these for both day and night. The night time just didn’t hold up as well. It’s almost as if they are too soft and not thick enough.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sasha4 from Great product Kept baby dry. Nice fit. Very absorbent. Comparable to pampers swaddles. Seemed to fit a bit small though compared to other brands of the same size.
