Huggies Little Snugglers Review

Huggies Snugglers is made by Huggies, which is a Kimberly-Clark Baby and Childcare Brands company. Huggies is a well-known brand with new and seasoned parents alike, providing a variety of diapers and wipes for different needs.

Performance Comparison

The closure tabs and motion points on the Little Snugglers are soft compared to the competition and unlikely to irritate sensitive skin.

Likes

The best thing about this diaper is it has fewer leaks and performed well in our tests for leaks with little to no mock urine escaping the diaper. Additionally, Amazon users also report fewer leaks with this diaper in real-world use. These results earned the Snugglers an exceptional score for leakage, one of the highest in this review.

Notice the leakage pan for the Snugglers is dry, but the absorption paper is soaked through across the span of the paper.

We also like how cozy and comfortable this diaper feels compared to the competition. It scored just below the high for comfort. The fabric is soft, but more importantly, it has soft motion points where baby's joint will move, and it has tab closures that aren't rough or poky like some of the competing diapers we tested. This diaper also scored above average for durability, which is often hard to do while remaining comfortable.

The Little Snugglers were no match for 100ml of mock urine in our tests for diaper absorption. This diaper scored only 2 of 10 for this test.

Dislikes

Unfortunately, there is more to dislike than like for this product. The most disappointing test results were for absorption, where the Snugglers earned one of the lowest scores for its ability to absorb liquids and trap them inside the diaper away from baby's skin. In our tests for absorption, the Snugglers had more moisture transfer to the test paper than most of the competition with only two other diapers scoring lower than the Snugglers. We think, above all, a diaper should absorb what baby dishes out and help prevent it from sitting against baby's skin to help prevent skin irritation and possible diaper rash.

We dislike the lack of transparency from Huggies on all their diapers. While the Huggies website says the Little Snugglers are fragrance and lotion-free, it does not say much else about what is in the diaper or whether or not it is free of other known allergens like chlorine, dyes, or latex. In general, the website fails to offer any disclosure on ingredients or what it has or what it lacks, which is something we think all manufacturers should offer to parents so they can make an informed decision.

While the Snugglers are super soft, we don't like that Huggies doesn't offer anything in the way of material or content disclosure for these diapers which prevent parents from making informed decisions.

We also dislike that Huggies isn't making any effort to improve the eco-friendliness of this diaper. While any disposable diaper isn't ideal for the environment, some brands are making choices that increase the potential for biodegradability, or they are using materials that are renewable like bamboo or corn SAP. Little Snugglers had one of the lowest scores for eco-friendliness.

The Huggies Little Snugglers are comfortable and cute with Disney characters and a useful wetness indicator.

Conclusion

Huggies Little Snugglers are a comfortable and durable diaper that scored well in our tests for leakage, which is half the battle in finding a great diaper for baby. Unfortunately, this diaper struggled to keep moisture locked away in its core, which could lead to skin irritation, diaper rash, or moist clothing yours and baby's). So, even though these diapers are comfy when dry and don't leak as much as the competition, they don't provide enough absorption to do the trick or justify the price.
