A Parent&#39;s Review Of Huggies Diapers

!±8± A Parent's Review Of Huggies Diapers

Huggies diapers have been a staple for millions of new parents for years. During that time, Huggies Corp. have released several different types of diapers including their Huggies Supreme, UltraTrim, Overnites and Snug and Dry brands. Each diaper has its respective pros and cons. Having tried the UltraTrim and Supreme diapers with my infant, I can offer some comments that will help you decide which brand of diapers is right for your baby.

Are Huggies Diapers Easy To Use?

Most Huggies come with small (approximately 1" x 1") velcro tabs attached. The tabs can be found on the back and top parts of the diapers. These tabs make the job of putting the diaper on your child very easy. If you need to make the diaper fit your baby more snugly, you can do so quickly by simply adjusting the velcro tabs.

Are Huggies Comfortable For Your Baby?

The company claims its diapers are "baby-shaped," implying that the diapers are designed to perfectly fit the contours of your baby's body. Frankly, this is true of most respected brands of diapers. Some Huggies are well-designed to provide comfort for your child. Others are not. For example, the front layer on the Supreme type diapers is thicker than many brands which offers extra comfort. However, the back layer is thin. In my opinion, Huggies should have made the back layer thicker. It would prove handy for babies that are trying to walk. The extra layer would provide cushion when your baby falls on its bottom.

The UltraTrim brand is also a bit lacking in comfort. As its name implies, the diaper is very thin. That may irritate your child's skin if they're doing a lot of crawling. However, some people claim that thinner diapers actually allow your baby to walk more easily. It may be best to make your decision about using UltraTrim diapers based upon whether your baby is walking or crawling.

How Well Do Huggies Absorb Moisture?

Of course, a key consideration is whether a diaper absorbs moisture effectively and stays dry. In my experience, the Supreme diapers did not absorb well. Not only did I detect some wetness, but I also noticed strange white flakes and grains that came from the diaper on my child's skin. On the other hand, the UltraTrim diapers had a great sponge factor. I never noticed any residual wetness or leakages from the diaper (nor any flakes!). In my experience, the UltraTrims have much better absorption than the Supreme diapers.

My Last Thoughts On Huggies Diapers

Huggies diapers aren't cheap. In fact, they're one of the higher-priced diaper brands on the market. As babies go through diapers quickly, using Huggies could prove very costly. A few of my friends have used Huggies and thought that they were good diapers but not worth the hefty price tag. That said, if you can find a coupon for a discount or even a way to get free Huggies diapers, definitely take advantage of it. You may find that the brand is a perfect fit for your child.
