Why do Huggies just suck so bad!!

Cutemin · October 2009

I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. I had some great coupons/sale/rebate so I bought a pack of Huggies Natural fit diapers thinking they would be better then the Snug&Fit. No, same. This morning Bri had a total blow out, which she never has. Out the front, out the back, down the legs... but there was almost nothing IN the diaper. The stupid things also give her diaper wedgie! They aren't very soft. I bought a big box of Snug&fit for Ty a couple months ago, half the box is still in his closet because they suck.

At least I didn't make the mistake of buying Luvs again! Luvs has their Leak protection guarentee. A friend of mine gave them a try on her twin girls, both LEAKED. So she calls Luvs about the guarentee, the representative insisted that they leaked because she was using the wrong size diaper! The girls fell right in the middle of the weight listed on the box! And the representative also said something along the lines of her probably not putting the diaper on correctly. Um yeah, the twins are #3 and #4. By the time you are on your third or so kid I think you figured everything there is to know about putting on a diaper!

With the cloth diapers, Evan has not had any leaks, but with every brand of disposables, except for some generic brand that someone bought us (which have worked great), he has pee'd out of them.

Pampers swaddlers and cruisers are the best! That is generally what we use. Never had one single diaper rash in this house. And never have leaks with them. Baby Dry are not as good, not as soft and absorbant. For some reason, newborns just don't fit into diaper quite right until they are about 10-11 lbs.

I'm sorry! ?That is no fun. ?I've used Huggies ever since Eva was born and never had an issue with them. ?I think it all depends on the baby- it's trial and error. ?I agree about Luvs though- they are the worst! ?My mom bought me a pack when Eva was littler and after a day I gave them away- she leaked every time. ?My sister swears by the Target brand diapers but anytime I put one on Eva at her house she ends up with wet pants.

I didn't think the Target brand were too bad. I actually really like Price Chopper Supreme brand for a while, DH really like those because they had color changing bones that indicated the diaper was wet. But I used to watch a little boy whos mom used Target brand based on Baby Bargains' recommendation. He had persistant diaper rash, it lasted for weeks. Finally she saw the 'diaper rash' specialist at her pedi office, I guess the guy actually writes papers and give lectures to other pedis about diaper rash. He told her to use specifically Pampers brand, no more generics! She made the switch that night and the rash was gone in a couple days.

I had problems with Huggies, too. Their Preemie size was horrible - no inner elastic, just outer. DS peed through every single pair of pajamas we had the first night he was home. Later, I found that they always seemed to fit smaller than the Pampers. I liked the Huggies Overnights, but they are so stiff compared to the Pampers.

And Luvs - my mom bought a pack to have at her house. They easily fit a size smaller than Huggies or Pampers.

Wow! How stupid about the Luvs guarantee. I hate Huggies too.. I have only used Samples thus far..

I need to move Eve to the next size pampers cuz she is peeing through/out the back at night..

Oh no! We have been using pampers baby dry and when she has a big poop it goes up the back! I just bought some huggies hoping the would work What is our problem if they go out the back? The poop used to come out the leg holes too but hasn't lately and I assumed her legs were just too skinny before.

i have always done pampers.. nothing else works for us!!

Huggies Pure & Natural are AWESOME! They are so much softer than any other disposable...and don't have those bright dyes. I was changing Evan out of Pampers one time and black dye stained his thighs!!! I almost jumped to cloth right then and there. But we had some of these on hand. NO leaks or blow outs as of yet...we've been using them since he was a size 1, he's now a 4.

We were givien a tote full of luvs before Belle was born. We hate them. They are so thin and feel like paper. I don't know what to do with this huge tote full of them now. We like pampers swaddlers the best. We haven't had a problem with the huggies. We have 2 huge boxes of size one that MIL bought us. We will probably use those for daycare and save the pampers for at home. I don't care for the target brand either. They are huge on her compared to the others we have tried.

We used Pampers for a long time, and now we use the Wegmans Supreme. They wouldn't have worked well when DD was younger, but they're great now, and so much cheaper! For a few months, we used Pampers at night because I don't trust the Wegmans diapers at night, but DD just started leaking through those so we switched to Huggies Overnites. They work, but I don't like the fit of them.

Could be size. But really the only diapers that work the way I want them to is Pampers swaddlers, I don't like Baby Dry very much. But they aren't bad.

Pampers now makes two new cruisers that would work for overnight. They make a cruiser with extra absorbancy AND they now make a cruisers overnight!!!

We were having the same problem at night, we use Pampers Swaddlers during the day. So I tried out the new Fisher Price Happy Nights Diapers, and they work great! No more leaks at night!

I haven't tried them for during the day yet because the smallest they come is size 3, and DD isn't quite there yet.
