Huggies Little Snugglers review

Huggies Little Snugglers is the closest rival to Pampers Swaddlers and wins on one specific point: a front and back blowout blocker in sizes 1 and 2, the stage when newborn blowouts are most common. Huggies claims up to 100% blowout and leak protection, and stretchy leg cuffs form a seal to contain mess. The liner changes as the baby grows: Preemie through Size 2 use a GentleAbsorb liner, and sizes 3 and up switch to a Dry Touch liner that absorbs wetness on contact. Huggies says it is the only leading national brand that is entirely fragrance free across all variants, and the diaper is hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested and made without parabens, elemental chlorine, lotions, phthalates or natural rubber latex. Huggies also publishes a full ingredient list. Like Pampers, Huggies sells only through retailers, so prices vary by store, and the range stops at Size 6.
