I got these since they claim to help with rashes. I’ve been surprised. I’m usually not a fan of Huggies as they always leak but these ones are a lot softer than the normal ones and seem to have more of a sinch.

Way too expensive for what you get, thin foam-like pad is not very absorbent and leaves my baby’s bum damp feeling. The top liner in the diaper is “loose” by design and sticks to the skin and rubs it raw being damp. Stick to the little snugglers, these ain’t it. My poor baby’s bum is all red and sore now from just trialing these skin essential ones. The old special delivery weren’t this bad!

Not Happy - 23 days ago
I wanted to try this since it first came out replacing the special delivery. then I purchased a box of size 2 for my 3mo old girl. streching out the diapers to compare, it is only 1 CM longer, and 1cm wider on the padded area than the Pampers Swaddle size 1 ( yes not the size 2). also it is $0.34 a piece which is $0.07 more ($0.04 more than the size 2) to the Swaddle at regular prices. it is softer and feels like thicker but not a hugh different. my baby girl has no issue with swaddle. So I dont think i will be switching to this totally unless there's better deal when the other one doesnt.

Em - 28 days ago, Verified purchaser
Tried these with my four month old hoping they'd help with his diaper rash. Not only did they fail on the diaper rash front, but they resulted in the two worst blowouts we've had to date. The gutters that are supposed to go on the outside of the butt in normal diapers are like weirdly in the middle of these, so if he squirms/twists/rolls, they run the risk of moving into his crack, resulting in everything going right out of the diaper. We've tried Pampers, Mama Bear, regular Huggies, and Rascals, and these are the absolute worst of the bunch. Might work if you put them on a newborn, but if your kid is rolling, save yourself some laundry and buy a different kind.

AnneW - 29 days ago, Verified purchaser
I love these diapers! They are very soft inside and out. I have tried all of the Huggies on my 2 year old and 6 month old, and these are my favorite. All the Huggies absorb very well, and prevent blowouts the best for my little one. However, I prefer the Skin Essentials for a couple reasons. 1. They are so soft! 2. I don’t love the double grip strips on the snugglers and movers. If your child is wiggly, it’s hard to get the diaper on without the purple part rubbing them (it’s very irritating if it rubs on the babies skin). Not a complete deal breaker, but something to consider if your child moves around during diaper changes. 3. I prefer these minimalist design on these. Again, not a deal breaker, just a personal preference. 4. They have never irritated my son’s skin who has eczema. One thing to note, I don’t think they are the best for overnight absorption if your child is a heavy wetter. I do prefer the Huggies overnights for night time. I did compare the absorption of these versus the little movers and snug and dry. I poured 8 ounces of water and waited 30 seconds to test the absorption. All absorbed very well!

Beware If Your Baby Has Sensitve Skin

Thumbs down graphic, would not recommendWould not recommend
El - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
Not typically one to leave reviews, but figured other mom’s should beware if their babies have sensitive skin like mine. We normally use Mille Moon, but my son was having a decent about of blow outs so we figured we’d try this brand. Within hours he developed a pretty bad rash. The diapers also don’t seem to be very absorbed and we were finding little pieces of lint everywhere on him.

I used the Huggies Special Delivery diapers for my son for almost 3 years and for my daughter in her early infancy until they were discontinued and replaced with these. Suddenly, my daughter cannot wear Huggies. She breaks out in a horrible bright red rash if she wears these immediately. I’m sad because Huggies special delivery were my go to but there’s something wrong with these.

The skin essential line are very soft diaper which initially drew me in. The fit is good and have not experienced any leaks with this diaper. Really absorbent and kept the little one dry without any irritation.
