Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Intro: After five years and three kiddos I have used a variety of diapers including Pampers (Swaddles and Baby Dry), Huggies (Little Snugglers and Snug &Dry), Honest, Target, and Luvs. I personally only bought Honest, Target (Up&Up), Babyganics and Luvs a couple times because I didn’t like the feel (Honest diapers and Babyganics are very stiff and papery) and absorption. That being said, I had found that Pampers and Huggies had ‘premium’ (Pampers Swaddlers and Huggies Little Snugglers) and ‘regular’ (Pampers Baby Dry and Huggies Snug & Dry) classes of diapers. I have compared these four different diapers - all in my current purchasing size (Size 5). Pampers Swaddlers vs. Huggies Little Snugglers: FEEL: I love the cloth-like feel of both these diapers. Huggies were slightly softer than the Pampers, but only a tiny bit. WETNES INDICATOR: These both have the wetness indicator line (shown in yellow) which turn blue when the diaper is wet. This is not a necessary diaper function, but can be slightly helpful when doing a quick diaper check. Although, the line tends to almost immediately turn blue once the diaper is applied - but not necessarily enough to change the diaper. TABS: The Huggies diapers have better tabs - the entire tab is ‘sticky’ allowing for a quick stick on a wiggly baby. COVERAGE: The Pampers diapers seem slightly larger overall, although not by much. “ELASTIC”: The leg ‘elastic’ on the Pampers is wider, allowing for more material to catch a ‘leg leak’ - but the Huggies diapers are better for back-top leaks because of the waist ‘elastic’. These ‘elastic’ areas help the diapers fit and stay in place while keeping any leaks at bay. PATTERN: Both Pampers Swaddlers and Huggies Snugglers are fairly muted diapers, Huggies being slightly less noticeable under light colored clothing. Pampers Baby Dry vs. Huggies Snug & Dry: FEEL: Pampers Baby Dry is much softer than the Huggies Snug & Dry diapers the Huggies diaper is very paper-like and this is a major reason I’d prefer not to buy these diapers. WETNESS INDICATOR: Pampers Baby Dry doesn’t have a wetness indicator line like the Huggies Snug & Dry. TABS: The tabs on the Pampers Baby Dry are not as big as the Huggies Snug & Dry; HOWEVER, the Huggies tab area is very narrow and thus seems more ‘uncomfortable’ when the diaper is on. Pampers tab is smaller but the design of the tab area seems much better. COVERAGE: Pampers Baby Dry seems significantly larger than the Huggies Snug & Dry. “ELASTIC”: Pampers Baby Dry doesn’t have the back ‘elastic’ so the Huggies Snug & Dry is much better with back-waist elastic and the leg elastic afraid also wider than the Pampers. Huggies is much better at keeping leaks at bay with the ‘elastic’ areas. PATTERN: pampers Baby Dry are a much better diaper visually. They are a light blue and white color, whereas the Huggies Snug & Dry are a bold black and white which is easy to see under light colored clothing. Overall: Softness (most soft to least soft): Huggies Snugglers, Pampers Swaddlers, Pampers Baby Dry, Huggies Snug & Dry. Wetness Indicator: Tie between Pampers Swaddlers, Huggies Snugglers, Huggies Snug & Dry - Pampers Baby Dry doesn’t have the indicator. Coverage: Pampers Swaddlers, Huggies Snugglers (because of back waist ‘elastic’), Pampers Baby Dry, and Huggies Snug & Dry. Pattern: Huggies Snugglers, Pampers Swaddlers, Pampers Baby Dry, Huggies Snug & Dry. NOTE: I don’t seem to notice an absorbency level difference between any of these diapers, therefore I didn’t compare this aspect. If money wasn’t an option I would probably buy Huggies Little Snugglers. They are the softest, stretchiest, good coverage. My choice on the slightly cheaper diaper level would be Pampers Baby Dry because they are softer and have a better visual appeal. *** Thank you for taking the time to read this review.
