Kimberly-Clark has been making hygiene products for over 140 years. Since 1968, the corporation has begun developing the production of disposable diapers for children. The research laboratory helped her in this. A decade passed, and Huggies or "Hugs" went on sale as a trial series. Ten years later, they were released into production line.

Currently, these disposable baby hygiene products are produced in more than 30 countries around the world.
The main brand inventions:
- now irreplaceable Velcro fasteners;

- the use of breathable materials;
- use of fluff pulp as a filler;
- anatomical shape in the form of a triangle;
- decorating diapers with funny pictures;

The idea of the brand is to improve the quality of life of parents by using the best hygiene products for their children.
Advantages and disadvantages
Any woman dreams that her baby is as healthy as possible, develops normally and feels comfortable. One of the factors affecting the well-being of the child is dryness inside the diaper. To choose it, you need to analyze all the advantages and disadvantages of a particular personal care product. Like all Haggis diapers for babies, they have both pros and cons to use. Let's consider the main positive properties of some of the most popular diapers in the world.
- Hypoallergenic ingredients. No aromatized fragrances, creams or lotions are added to the products. Even the most sensitive baby will be able to stay in these diapers for a long time.
- A large number of varieties. All babies are different in anatomical structure, so the Huggies brand presents to the buyer a wide range of goods for almost any child.
- Comfortable fit. The triangular shape of these diapers makes the baby's stay in them the most comfortable. They do not sag anywhere and do not press.
- Rounded Velcro straps. This is especially important for older children, after about six months. Round-edged clasps are less sticky and difficult for your baby to peel off. After all, they don't stick out.
- Good enough ability to absorb liquid and leave it inside the diaper. Almost all buyers noted this advantage of the diaper. The products feature special absorbent channels that prevent liquid from leaking out. The direction of the channels is different for boys and girls.
- Three layers of the diaper are made breathable.
- Soft inner surface does not rub and does not leave traces of redness.
- The Huggies Elite Soft series has a special stool pocket, which is very convenient for babies up to six months. This helps to avoid leaks.
- Present moisture indicator, by which you can determine the fullness of the diaper without removing it.
- Affordable price and the ability to buy in almost any store.
- Attractive design: there are even episodes with Disney characters.
- Thickness hygiene products are negligible.
- There are diapers-panties for every day and for swimming in the poolwith an attractive design and ease of use.
- The side seams on the panties tear easily at the sides, therefore they are very easy to remove.
Despite the huge number of positive qualities of "haggis", some significant disadvantages are noted in them:
- a little undersized. From the middle of the weight range, diapers may be small;
- more fat children may suffer from the pressure of rubber bands and a belt;
- their anatomical shape is not suitable for everyone: sometimes they leak, which makes it impossible to wear such diapers at night;
- greatly increase in size when worn, possibly the formation of a lump between the legs;
- as a result of the lack of fragrances, diapers can start to give off an unpleasant odor during wear as they are full.
In general, we can say that Huggies disposable products have more positive characteristics. These diapers can be safely tested by even the most fastidious children and parents.

On every day
When a baby is just born, it is very important to choose special hygiene products for him. They should be hypoallergenic, soft and comfortable for the baby. Huggies Elite Soft for newborns is an example of such diapers. The characteristic pale yellow packaging catches the eye immediately. This shade is not found in the design of other diapers, so it will be difficult to lose sight of such a pack. The diaper itself is mostly white. Decorated with Disney's Winnie the Pooh. The indicator strips are yellow, and when wet they turn dark green.
In them, the soft filler is represented by pads that provide a point touch to delicate skin. This layer allows moisture to be absorbed as quickly as possible. The sides around the legs are enlarged to prevent leaks. The belt is elastic and has a pocket to hold the feces. The packages of these diapers are presented in the following size range:

A more budgetary series of diapers from the company is the Huggies Classic. They also have a wide range and are suitable for babies from birth.

Many parents feel that the Huggies Ultra Comfort series is better than the previous one.
It contains diapers for both boys and girls, as well as panties. Gender boxes are easy to distinguish: they are painted in classic pink and blue colors. The differences between the diapers themselves lie in the design: they are different colors, and they depict Disney characters. The feminine hygiene items depict Minnie Mouse, and the men's striped diapers depict Mickey Mouse and Pluto, respectively.
In them, the absorbent channels are located in different ways: in girls' diapers they are located all over the surface, and in products for boys - in the front. This is a pretty significant advantage of this series. The channels help the fluid to be evenly distributed, thereby preventing the formation of a wet lump between the legs.
The size range of Huggies Ultra Comfort diapers for boys and girls and the number of pieces in a package are presented below:
- Huggies Ultra Comfort 3 - for babies weighing from 5 to 9 kg. Packs of 21, 80, 94 pieces;

In addition to the toddler series, Huggies have launched the DryNites line for older kids. These diapers are designed to prevent unpleasant surprises in the middle of the night. In terms of shape and color, these panties practically do not differ from ordinary underwear. Pampers are also divided into two categories: for girls and boys and have corresponding features in the structure of the absorbent channels. The following sizes and packages are available:
- DryNites panties for boys and girls from 4 to 7 years old with a weight of 17 to 30 kg. Pack of 10;
- DryNites panties for boys and girls from 8 to 15 years old with a weight of 27 to 57 kg. Pack of 9.
It can be seen that the manufacturers tried to please everyone and everyone. A wide variety of types of hygiene products and variations in the number of pieces in packages provoke buyers to familiarize themselves with each series in turn.
For swimming
If the baby visits the pool, then he needs protection from minor troubles that can occur in the water. Indeed, with active movement, intestinal peristalsis improves, which can lead to embarrassment. To avoid this, it is recommended that babies wear swim diapers. The Huggies company produces special diapers called Little Swimmers. They have the following properties:
- retain the contents without causing swelling using a special filler;
- have Velcro, but you can wear them without unbuttoning them like panties. No need to look for a changing table or put oilcloth under the baby;
- they have lateral leakage protection in the form of a side running along the edges of the area near the legs;
- the elastic waist will not rub or pressure. It tightly, but gently fits the baby;
- stylish design and bright colors with Disney cartoon characters will look very nice in the water.
The following size variations can be found on sale:
- Diapers Huggies Little Swimmers 2-3 (yellow packaging), designed for babies from 3 to 8 kg. In a pack of 12 pieces;
- Huggies Little Swimmers 3-4 diapers (green packaging) - for babies from 7 to 15 kg. In a pack of 12 pieces;
- Huggies Little Swimmers 5-6 diapers (orange packaging) - for babies from 12 to 18 kg. In a pack of 12 pieces.
With such diapers, the baby will enjoy swimming, and the parents will not worry about possible natural processes. Swimming pool panties were first launched by this brand. Their long history underlines the appropriate quality due to the accumulated experience.
Reviews
Most parents are satisfied with the quality of Huggies diapers. The quality of the Elite Soft series is especially appreciated. The following advantages are most encouraging:
- a very soft inner layer that does not chafe the delicate skin;
- dryness inside even after a whole night of sleep without changing a diaper;
- does not cause diaper rash;
- often there are discounts for these diapers in stores;
- the clasps are very strong, they are not scary to use many times.
Their disadvantages include not a very affordable price without discounts and small size. Most mothers prefer to use these hygiene products from birth to six months. Then they often switch to cheaper diapers.
The rest of the more budgetary series are also successful. Compared to other brands of diapers, they are the least likely to cause allergic reactions in babies. However, cheap "Haggis" are not suitable for the night, as they do not absorb too much liquid.
It is often noted that in Huggies Classic packages there is a defect in the form of falling off Velcro. This is a significant disadvantage when buying such diapers.
The most important advantages in the budget series are still their value for money and lack of unpleasant fragrances.
In any case, in order to get an independent assessment of the diapers, you need to try to purchase any series yourself. It won't hurt your budget a lot, and these items will still be used. And you can see for yourself whether Huggies diapers are suitable for a particular baby.
