Huggies Baby Diapers

Huggies Snug & Dry Diapers Step 4 Giant Pack 140

Huggies Baby Diapers. Features: Snug & Dry with unbeatable leakage protection! LeakLock® quickly captures moisture and locks it away to help prevent leaks. All-around stretch for a super-snug fit. Mickey & Friends Designs

Huggies diapers are the best diapers for boys by design. I heard Palmpers use a slightly different design to fit girls. These are the two premium brands: Huggies for boys, Palmpers for girls.

Now about the price, although the boxes look like in similar size, they are not. The size 3 Huggies sold by costco has 168 (the most recent ones have 174), compared to 144 sold by amazon.com and walmart, target, etc. A simple math showed that we should buy from Costco; this is after considering sales tax, shipping, etc.

Huggies Versus Pampers

I feel like I've graduated from college to adult when the hot topic with my friends has changed from 'boxers' vs briefs' to ‘huggies vs pamper'.

We did stage our own version of the Pepsi Challenge, and purchased Huggies, Papers, Luvs and even some other random brand I found in our local grocery store. Huggies wins hands down. Luvs leaked all the time, and were even kind of scratchy. Pampers was nice and soft, but also leaked. For us, Huggies has never leaked. The elastic bands around the legs fit well; the diapers are soft enough to not bother my son. We've used Huggies from size NB up to 3 so far and have still preferred Huggies in each size range.

Within the Huggies line, I prefer the Ultra-trim (which I guess is being called something else now?) over the Huggies Supreme. The Supreme were extra padded and tended to bunch up. They didn't leak, but they just weren't as comfortable for my son's frenzied activity level.

As for fit, my son has always been small for his age, so I'm not sure if that makes any difference... maybe pampers works better for chunky kids? Which opens up another age old controversy "does size really matter"? But that's a conversation for another day.
