"Fantastic diapers" 2009-04-25

I bought these after they came out because my son (now 13 months) had just outgrown swaddlers 2-3 and I've been hating the cruisers we're using. These diapers are great, they have no smell and are really soft to the touch. We have had no leaks whatsoever, they are so absorbent. The tabs and back are very stretchy, much more than pampers which is the big difference in terms of fit in my opinion. My son is tall but has a small but and these diapers fit way better than the pampers did (even the swaddlers which i loved) They are definitely 'premium' diapers though. They are about 34 cents each verse pampers which are 25 cents but I calculated that to cost us about 140 a year total and for no leaks and my babies comfort I'm going to use these until we have a problem. I wish huggies would come out with a gigantic box though, like 200 count or something but since they are new I'm sure it won't happen for awhile. I like that they are chlorine free and reduced dye and will biodegrade more than most diapers but I am certainly not oblivious to the fact that they are still disposable. We can't do cloth for various reasons and I have tried ones like seventh generation and they caused huge rashes. These huggies in particular don't have the little sticky beads like that pampers had either

These diapers are great, no leaking problems and all natural to boot! We've been using them since we brought our daughter home from the hospital and haven't really tried anything else. There was no need to. The little cut out for the umbilical cord was great too while she still had it. Kept it clean and dry, no problem.
"Best Diapers for size 3 and up" 2010-01-16
By Ethan (SF Bay Area)
We started with Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive and really liked them. However, when your baby gets to size 3, you can no longer get that diaper and have different needs (more flexibility, less padding, etc...). We bought a small pack of every diaper we could find in size 3 and tried them all on our baby. We liked these diapers the best. In fact, if we had known about them before, we might have sued them from newborn on. They are just great. They are so much softer than the rest of the size 3 diapers (closer to the swaddlers, but maybe even softer). For some reason the rest of the diapers at this point start using this rough plastic-type material on either side of the absorbent padding. We liked how absorbent these are as well. We also liked that there were less dyes and that our baby didn't get a rash after wearing them. Best of all, we liked how they fit and that our baby didn't have any blowouts (which we unfortunately did experience a couple times with some of the other diapers - 7th Generation being the worst blowout we had ever seen).

these diapers are every bit as dependable as the regular huggies brand diapers. My children have sensitive skin and they do not react to these diapers. you have to forget to change your poor kid for a LONG time to get the crystals that form on their skin when you do so forget. The price is great when you subscribe and save. once you figure out how many you need it is wonderful to have them delivered to your door without a thought!
They never leak for me even when my kids have loose stools. i have one tall skinny 2 year old and one very stocky 18mth old baby and they both wear a size 4 with no issues.
"Great fit and breathability" 2009-10-06
By Amy B.
I'm a first time mom, and someone who is very concerned for the environment, and any chemicals my baby may come in contact with. For these reasons, I decided to stock up on the chlorine-free 7th Generation diapers. Big mistake! My son got a terrible diaper rash that we just could not get rid of no matter what we tried. Then we switched to the Huggies Pure and Natural, and there was such a huge difference! The rash cleared up right away. I switched back the the 7th Generation at one point and the rash came right back. That's when i was convinced that it was the Huggies that made the difference, and not just a coincidence.
The Huggies also fit much better. They are very nicely contoured, and the NB size has the notch cut out for the umbilical cord, which means no unnecessary folding. Also, my son is now 2 months old, and, unlike with the 7th Gen, I have not yet had a single leak with the Huggies -- which, given some of the diapers that I have changed, seems like nothing short of a miracle *knock on wood* : )
As far as the environmental impact goes, yes the 7th Gen were chlorine-free, but they are not organic, meaning the cotton and other fibers they are made of are grown with environmentally damaging chemicals. Plus they have all the same fillers and chemicals as any other disposable. While the Huggies are not chlorine-free, they are made with organic cotton, so in the end, they both probably come out about the same.
If you are going to get these diapers (which I highly recommend that you do), I would advise that you look into the Amazon Subscribe and Save program. You save a bunch of money (15% off of Amazon's already low price), plus you get the convenience of having them delivered periodically. I find that it's really nice not having to worry about those just back from the store and realizing that I forgot to get diapers moments. : )
