Huggies diapers ..
These are horrible. I just want to vent. (I know I should be using
cloth).....but anyway we have been trying to find the disposable diapers that work best for us and have tried Pampers Baby Dry and Swaddlers, Huggies ultratrim, etc etc etc.... The only ones that have been terrible are the Huggies-- Rachel can have a wet diaper and it immediately runs out to her clothing- I found out when I changed her and grabbed a Huggies, and 15 minutes later in the new diaper, her clothes and the bed were wet. I thought it must have loosened up etc, abut this has happened 2 more times until I got it through my thick head not to use Huggies. I mentioned this to a neighbor who works at a daycare, and she said not one of the (many) parents use Huggies, that Huggies are the worst diaper. The parents provide the diapers for their own kids in the daycare and there are all kind of store brands, Luvs, Pampers...but not one single parent uses Huggies. This is news to me-- I thought Huggies were supposedly good! I had no idea they had a reputation so to speak, but the daycare worker said the same as me- they leak like crazy. ????? I don't know that I have found the perfect diaper but none of the oens I have tried leak like the Huggies do, ever....even the Wal-Mart brand (Little Ones) in the yellow bag, these are even much better than the Huggies...even the hospital wouldn't use Huggies. ?? I thought some people here swore by Huggies, is this odd to have so many people have problems with them? Has the quality declined? Oh well- no more Huggies for Rachel (who, btw, is a little peanut....she's a lean baby, not chubby, I don't know if that makes a difference?)...anyone need any Huggies Newborns? |

Every baby has different diapering needs Its not so much that Huggies are "horrible," IMO, but they're not suited for skinny babies like the kind I tend to give birth to. If its any consolation, all of my children have done best in different brands of diapers. Right now we only use Luvs and cloth on my youngest.. I'm sure the next one will need something different. And you might find that Huggies may work when Rachel gets bigger or to a different diapering stage. Denise |

All babies are different. I always buy the cheapest on the shelf (generally - one kind really smell bad and another is to short waisted so I don't get them, can't even remember which ones?!). FWIW all diapers leaked on my newborns. I think they are hard to diaper. You'll probably have better luck once she is a little older and bigger. -- Nikki Mama to Hunter (5) and Luke (3) |

Ah, a good old diaper debate Huggies Ultratrim are my favorite. They are the only ones that didn't leak for my son, and they work great on my daughter so I'm leaving 'em alone! Pampers smelled weird and leaked like the dickens with Jacob. The "cloth-like" disposables Target was selling at the time also leaked.

Huggies diapers ..
Hillary Israeli wibbled
Pampers smelled weird and leaked like the dickens with Jacob. This is one that puzzled me for a long time. So many people here and elsewhere complained about the smell of Pampers, but the ones we were given to use in hospital, and the free samples we picked up in various places, smelled just fine to me. When we were on holiday in March I encountered an American Pampers nappy. Aha! There is a definite difference! :-) We don't like Huggies, apart from the disp swim pants which are excellent. When the reusable swim nappies are in the laundry we definitely like those as an alternative. The Pampers we used were ok, but not worth the 20% extra on the price. We use supermarket own-brands and they're just fine. We've had two leaky wet nappies in ten months, and one of those was a reusable that had been inexpertly put together (by me!). We had a few more blow-out dirty ones, early on, but I don't think there's a nappy out there that can cope with those 100%. Jac |

I think it depends on the baby. I tried them all and huggies ultratrim
worked the best for me. "Jill" wrote in message ... These are horrible. I just want to vent.

Huggies diapers ..
After putting on the diaper are you running your finger around the leg
opening and drawing out the inner gasket a bit? I find that stops leaks. With the twins, I use 3 different types of diapers. Up to just recently they both wore a store brand (Teddy's Choice) during the day and a regular Pampers at night. Now, Joshua is still wearing that combination but Katerina is in Huggies Ultratrim completely because of her tummy. Huggies tabs stretch so they fit her better. The other ones sag after a few minutes and where the tabs fold start to rub against the top of her thigh. One thing I do not like about Huggies (other than their commercials) is that the gaskets split very easily. Isabella will wear anything, day or night. -- Brigitte aa #2145 http://ca.geocities.com/bironmonger/ Please excuse the quality.

Huggies diapers ..
Jill,
We use Huggies, and have not had any problems with them. Taylor has always been a round little bean -- in the 75% for height and weight, so that might have something to do with it. She was 8lbs 8oz at birth, and 11lbs by 2-4 weeks, so well above little Miss Rachel. We've also ALWAYS bumped her up to the next size pretty early. In the beginning, we alternated Huggies and Pampers, and always seem to go back to Huggies. I think it's definitely a YMMV issue, and depends greatly on the size and shape of your little one. -- Jamie & Taylor Earth Angel, 1/3/03 Check out Taylor Marlys -- www.MyFamily.com, User ID: Clarkguest1, Password: Guest Become a member for free - go to Add Member to set up your own User ID and Password Check out our Adoption Page at http://home.earthlink.net/~jamielee6 |

This only happens to Logan when the diaper is getting too small for him ( and I need to go up a size ) or he has peed several times in one diaper (or an astonishing amount). Since I try to change and check him very often the 2nd reason almost never occurs (sometimes after a long nap in which I've napped too). I don't figure those reasons are the diaper's fault. A tip with the ultratrim is that the blue guards are supposed to be up to hug the baby, but many times they are stuck to the diaper. So I make it a habit of doing a blue guard check every time I open a new diaper. Oh well- no more Huggies for Rachel (who, btw, is a little peanut....she's a lean baby, not chubby, I don't know if that makes a difference?)...anyone need any Huggies Newborns? Logan is very chubby! BTW we used pampers for his newborn size and he peed outside the top in the back/side almost every single pee for a while. They were on the verge of way too small for him but he still had his umbilical cord remnant left over and we were waiting for it to fall off before we moved on to the next size (because the newborn size had cutouts). |
