Huggies Wipes - wipes, baby wipes


We tried a few different brands of baby wipes when our twin girls were born. First we tried the Johnson and Johnson brand (they were dry and paper thin), then Pampers (they stink), and then we tried Huggies - and we only buy Huggies now.



The Huggies wipes are fabulous. We cloth diaper our girls, so we need a thick wipe to get their bottoms clean, and these have never let us down. Not once has a wipe given out on me - they are super thick, great size, and our girls have never had any rash or irritation from these wipes. These wipes smell SO good - not too "baby", just refreshing and clean. The zip-bag packaging is great for refills, and keeps the wipes moist until the last one is gone, and it's greener than dozens of plastic tubs!



These wipes are the best we've found, and we will continue to purchase them. The Cucumber scent wipe that Huggies makes are also thick & moist, but we prefer the Shea Butter smell.

This is a very good product, but what's going on with the amazon price. I am a big fan of Amazon, but this time I am not happy. I ordered the wipes thi morning, trusting amazon to always have the best prices. I then checked other sites, even babies' r'us, that is usually very pricey has them for half the price. Two hours later they won't let me cancel. You can check it out yourself, you're better off buying it at your local grocery store.

These smell pleasant enough without a real strong smell, and on auto delivery with amazon they are a reasonable buy. It is also a plus that I don't have to worry about running out. Amazon has super speady shipping!

I usually use Pampers Sensitive Thick wipes, but running low, I got these until my next Amazon shipment came in. I thought they would be a decent substitution. I was so very wrong. First, Pampers seals their wipes in small refill size packages within the larger package. This way, you just open what you need and the rest doesn't risk drying out. Huggies does not do this. All the wipes are in one package. Therefore, one corner gets snagged or you don't close it COMPLETELY and these dry out. Second, instead of individual wipes being folded to pop up the next one, these are all in a row and perforated. I have never been able to tear just one off without using both hands. Third, they don't pop up in my wipe dispenser. You get one out and you have to dig to get the next one. Again, not handy when changing a squirmy baby. I can't believe I have more complaints, but I do....they leave lint, there is a weird greasy film left after using them, they've caused rashes and they tear.

Huggies has the best wipes, BY FAR! I am not a fan of their diapers...but the wipes are the strongest and thickest. My fav is the "softskin" scent. Worth the money and thanks to Amazon Mom for the cheaper prices!

I chose these wipes after reading positive reviews, but I am disappointed with the overall quality. They shred with every use. I've used them in Huggies re-fillable containers as well as my wipe warmer and in both cases, they do not consistently pop up. I'm often opening the containers to dig out the next wipe. And the scent is a little too strong for my liking. I will not purchase these wipes again.

I have tried store brand wipes and Pampers Wipes, but I always end up coming back to Huggies. They are thick enough without having to pay more for "Thick" wipes and they have just the right amount of moisture. - Refills - Baby Wipes - Wipes - Sensitive Skin'
