Rated 5 out of 5 by Becca1 from Huggies Skin Essentials Overall, I think these diapers did what diapers are supposed to do. They prevented leaks and were comfortable for my baby girl. They had a pretty good fit compared to the other brands I have been using.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Yooo10 from Yes!! These diapers are SO soft! Hold pee very well. Don't leave marks on the child's legs like most diapers do. Price is pricey though. Still worth the money, but a lot of parents wouldn't be able to afford them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsManders2 from Excellent Coverage & Comfort I'm pretty sure I have been through every brand and style of diapers known to main in the last 15 years being a foster parent and mother to four. These diapers are great at separating the liquid from the skin and that is the bottom line to making a diaper that keeps the skin from developing a rash.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gigi3 from love the comfort level These are super comfortable for my daughter to use. I noticed she does not get irritated at her waist using these. The tabs are easier to pull away. They are definitely leak proof and she stays dry at night. I will be purchasing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rach5956 from Great quality My daughter has had issues with skin irritation/rash with other diaper brands. We didn't notice any issues with this diaper and they're super soft. I will definitely buy these in the future!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Crys8910 from Snug and Dry I have always preferred Huggies for their leak proof and absorbent diapers but now I really am sold on using only Huggies with these new diapers. They are wonderful for sensitive skin, I have no worries of rash or any skin irritation. They have that extra mesh like layer that keeps all the moisture away from the skin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Omymy2 from Best dipeys! There is really just no comparison for the huggies fit. No leaks, no overly scented bums, no rash from suffocated moist skin. The scented brands are too much when they're dry, and then they take on a whole new awfulness when wet. These leave the skin dry and lock the wee deep within the diaper.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kerijm4296 from Good diapers! I received the Huggies Skin Essentials diapers in size 1 and have used several wotj my newborn son. He has dealt with sensitive skin and a diaper rash on and off since coming home from the hospital in mid August. These diapers seem to have helped his rash go away. I love that the product uses natural ingredients and I feel good about using them on my son's skin. I would definitely buy these diapers in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MamaLlama5 from Wouldn't Buy Any Other Diaper! My daughter has very sensitive skin and gets diaper rashes easily and this is the ONLY brand and style of diaper I can use on her that doesn't completely rip her skin to shreds! I recommend it to all mothers out there who may or may not struggle with the same sensitivity issue as I have been. They now have a long term customer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Transter4 from Love it I love how this diaper is not giving my son a rash like the other diapers. This diaper also protect him from having blow out. He is not leaking out of the diapers. He is a happy baby when it comes to his diapers because there is no added cream that I have to do for him.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Justine4 from My new favorite diapers!! I have had so many problems with diaper leaks and blow outs in the past, with different bargain brand diapers that over tried. Although these may be a little more expensive initially, it makes up for the cost in that I don't have to change the diaper every single time my baby urinates during the night. They are so soft on baby's skin too. I will continue to buy these diapers from now on!

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!
