Huggies Little Snugglers Baby Diapers for Newborn (Size 1 , 216 Count)

These were the favourite diapers from about 9-11lbs in size 1. Once my little one was about 12-13lbs they weren’t as absorbing so we went a size up. Although there were still leaks, it was fewer than most other brands and definitely cheaper than the honest company! My favourite thing is they aren’t scented! Despite this they still have an ammonium smell when my lo pees whereas the honest company didn’t... Very happy for the price.

REVIEW OF SIX DIAPER COMPARISONS OVER COURSE OF 7 MONTHS. I hope this helps all the momma’s out there make an educated decision on their babies well-being :) Prices on all of these diapers (size 3s are what’s shown in pictures) tends to fluctuate but in general the most expensive to least expensive is as follows: Huggies Snugglers, Amazon Mama Bear, Pampers Swaddlers, Huggies Little Movers, Natural Eden & Earth, Huggies Snug and Dry. *All have wet strip indicators. *Rated all these out of 6 without duplicating a rating. *All diapers were tested for at least 3 weeks at a time and I did size up if they got a bit too snug so fit was ideal for a comparison. *Reviewed in picture order sequence Comparison was given on the following categories: overall outside material, inside material, back pocket/elastic back, added fragrance, design, straps durability, #2s, overnights, and lastly additional issues (if applicable) ~~HUGGIES LITTLE SNUGGLERS~~ -Thickest of all the diapers I tested -Inside material is soft to the touch and durable feeling -Extra strong elastic back layer “pocket” to catch #2s so they don’t ride up back -Has additional side purple internal straps for extra durability for movement (note: these are not on the N-2 size diapers, only starting at size 3) -Didn’t have any fragrance added to diaper which I liked, less chemicals -Cute design, classic clean look, Winnie the Pooh -Straps are soft material and attach to diaper nicely throughout entire length of strap -Contains #2 waste awesome -Hold great overnight 8-10 hours (multiple #1s, haven’t had #2 to test yet) ***Personal rating out of 6 would be 6/6*** ~~AMAZON MAMA BEAR “Premium”~~ -Near identical to Snugglers with a few variations -Thick material overall -Inside material is soft to the touch (softer than Snugglers) and durable feeling -Medium strength back elastic (doesn’t have the “pocket” design) to catch #2s so they don’t ride up -Didn’t have any fragrance added to diaper which I liked, less chemicals -Cute design, soft blue bear design (they have plain white option too but I haven’t tested those) -Straps are soft material and attach to diaper nicely throughout entire length of strap -Contains #2 waste great -Holds well overnight 8-10 hours (multiple #1s, haven’t had #2 to test yet) -Occasionally leaves tiny gel balls, doesn’t seem to affect my daughter though in terms of any irritation ***Personal rating out of 6 would be 5/6*** ~~EDEN & EARTH “Natural” Diapers~~ -Medium thick overall material -Inside material is soft (super soft, think Viva paper towels soft) to the touch but not as durable feeling like first two. Most “natural” materials. Great diaper if your baby has diaper rash and closest to cloth diaper amongst most disposables -Doesn’t have back pocket or but does have medium strength elastic and seems to contain #2s as long as there isn’t a lot or they aren’t too runny -Didn’t have any fragrance added to diaper which I liked, less chemicals -Plain simple design -Straps are soft material and attach to diaper nicely throughout entire length of strap -Has additional side internal straps for extra durability for movement -Doesn’t contain #2 the best if I forget to check for, say, an hour. You can see the brown color start to show through the diaper material, no official leaks though -Doesn’t hold multiple #1s as well overnight (no leaks though) just feels “damp” - it’s possible it’s just the gel absorbent that just feels cool to the touch ***Personal rating out of 6 would be 3/6*** ~~HUGGIES LITTLE MOVERS~~ -Overall medium thick material -Inside material is soft to touch (near identical as Snugglers) and more on the durable feeling side like the Snugglers/Mama Bear -Strong back elastic (doesn’t have the “pocket” design) to catch #2s so they don’t ride up -Didn’t have any fragrance added to diaper which I liked, less chemicals -Mickey and Minnie Mouse design -Straps are soft material and attach to diaper nicely throughout entire length of strap -Has additional side purple internal straps for extra durability for movement (diaper is made for size 3 and up, not a smaller size in this version) -Contains #2 waste great like Snugglers/Mama Bear -Holds well overnight 8-10 hours (multiple #1s, haven’t had #2 to test yet) ***Personal rating out of 6 would be 4/6*** ~~HUGGIES SNUG AND DRY~~ -Surprisingly on the thinner side overall (even though name has “dry” in it, I just imagined them being much thicker) -Inside material is soft (similar to Edens natural which was nice) to the touch yet feels durable enough -Medium strength back elastic (doesn’t have the “pocket” design) to catch #2s so they don’t ride up -Straps are soft material and attach to diaper nicely throughout entire length of strap -Didn’t have any fragrance added to diaper which I liked, less chemicals -Mickey mouse design. Probably useless observation but it has a loud crunchy sound when working with the diaper -Seemingly holds #1s and #2s ok but not as great as the rest. Still gets the job done just fine though. -Doesn’t hold as well overnight, but no leaks officially. Feels “damp” after #1 sits for maybe longer than an hour. It’s possible it’s just the gel absorbent that just feels cool to the touch. -Ran the smallest in terms of overall fit, maybe that’s why it’s called “snug” and dry? ***Personal rating out of 6 would be 2/6*** ~~PAMPERS SWADDLERS~~ -Size N through 2 seems to be a thinner material than size 3 through 4 from my testings. The thin versions are similar to Huggies snug and dry and the thicker versions are similar to Mama Bear -Inside material is very soft but was more of a mesh type of material verse thicker cloth type. After diaper changes it looked like the layers separated easily but still contained the waste just fine from what I could tell. -No back elastic or pocket at all to contain #2s. I have had to clean upper back messes with these diapers, I’d say at least one #2 a day for two weeks straight of upper back clean ups with my daughter -Had a baby powder smell to them, which indicates an added fragrance -Elmo design -Straps are a harder plastic type of material that I would think is uncomfortable if it grazed my daughters tummy. Also, the portion of the strap that sticks to the diaper is probably only 1/3rd of the actual strap so I had “loose” straps that easily came undone when getting my daughter dressed if her clothes snagged onto the non-sticky part of the straps. -Doesn’t contain #2s very well in my opinion, multiple leaks mainly in my daughters upper back -Holds up decent overnight 6-8 hours due to overall diaper thickness for multiple #1s (haven’t had to test #2s yet) -Occasionally leaves tiny gel balls, doesn’t seem to affect my daughter though in terms of any irritation -Ran the largest in terms of overall fit ***Personal rating out of 6 would be 1/6***

These Little Snugglers are amazing for our newborn! The hypoallergenic material is so gentle - no rashes or irritation at all. The GentleAbsorb core keeps baby dry for hours and the fit is perfect around tiny legs without being too tight. Love that they're unscented since baby's skin is so sensitive. The 216 count bulk pack is great value and lasts a long time. Highly recommend for newborns!

So after four kids, I've really tried about every diaper out there. And in this price range everyone pretty much agrees that Huggies and Pampers are the front runners. You can go up a price bracket and get Honest Company or Earth's Best which are nice or go down a price bracket and get Luvs or Target brand or other store brands which get the job done. For this price, I've used both Huggies and Pampers for a minimum of two years each. It isn't really about which one is better, they are very different in style and work for differently shaped babies. So here is what I've noticed: Pampers are softer, some babies including my daughter are sensitive to the dry max that is present in the premium versions of Pampers (swaddlers and cruisers) and Pampers work pretty well for babies with more petite frames. They tend to have blowouts up the back. The biggest downside to Pampers for me is that the horizontal edges of their yellow diaper tabs are razor sharp and if your baby is chunkier it's hard to keep the tabs in the center enough to be safe from scratching or even cutting their thighs. Now Huggies have what I call the "poop catcher" which is a dandy band of material on the back inside of the diaper that catches poo to keep it from going up the back. They are still soft but not as much as the swaddlers however, unlike the Pampers, Huggies diapers tabs are soft and pose no issue of scratching. Huggies are more suited for chunkier babies. Their leg openings are wider gapped and will leak like crazy if your baby has thin legs like my second and third children did. A huge learning curve to the Huggies is that after putting the diaper on, you need to remember to run your fingers in between your baby and the leg openings to make sure the outer material is not tucked into the inner area which will cause the diaper to leak at the legs. Essentially, I use Pampers in the beginning when their legs are skinny and then if they get chunkier and/or I have trouble with their tabs, I switch to Huggies.

These diapers are hands down the best out there and the price and quantity is incomparable to other big named brands. I have tried to find a better price point and quantity but to do that you'd have to sacrafice the quality. I would much rather pay the $38 that I do ... for size 1 diapers ... economy plus box that has a 216 count...That lasts for nearly a whole month and believe me ...( my daughter Olivia ... 6 months old goes through them.) Than to buy others for the same price or more ... for less than quality and surely not near the quantity. Huggies little snuggers with the indicators for wetness allows for ultimate protection from diaper rashes ... they absorb incredibly well and are shaped in all of the right ways to provide a snug but comfortable fit and made to move with the baby so no worries about leakage or chaffing. I would recommend these to any parent VS other options. There really is no comparison and we all have something in common ... the comfort of our children and wanting the best for them ... and not breaking our budget. They may look at first like a higher price point but taking a second look at these... they are well worth the money and you actually use less of them as you would other brands just because of the quality itself. Feel secure in knowing that these diapers are most definitely the best for any child at any age / stage. The only quam I have is trying to still find the quantity like these in Size 2. Which next order I will have to go up a size.
