I always read bad reviews to see if there is something informational there, but bad reviews for Huggies are just as strange as it could get. Diaper is designed to simplify parents life in comparison to regular cloth ones - from 20-30 years ago. But reading bad reviews I could not stop wondering why people are expecting these diapers to absorb unlimited quantity of pee? When you see "crumbs" this is actually a sign that you NEEDED to change this diaper ages ago. These are good diapers, but they need to be changed frequently like all other diapers. The older your kid the more often you need to change him - (s)he pees you know like a big boy or a big girl. These diapers are pretty absorbent, but it does not mean that you need to let your kid explore its capacity every time. In order to allow your kid to go through potty training successfully you still need to change him fairly often to give him a "clean" feeling. On another note accidents still might happen, this is why they are called accidents, and they will happen in any diapers, because kids are moving objects - mine 2-year old does not stop period even for food. Even my boy being so active I can assure that we did not have an accident for very long. Couple leak accidents we had in the beginning when diaper was not put properly due to kid not laying down still even for a second. I have a boy, so I can say these diapers are perfect for very active boys. Instructions are very simple - put diaper on, check how you did it, giggle with your kid when pushing his legs towards his tummy to allow better fit - done.

I've been using both Pampers Swaddlers, generic brands, regular Huggies and Huggies Supreme since my baby was born but now she's solely on Huggies Supreme. Some generic brands were ok but didn't absorb as much, or stretch to fit correctly, or ripped, but that's we expected for the price. Pampers Swaddlers has the weave that sticks to the skin when there was a dirty diaper. Regular Huggies had some crystal like particles that formed on her skin everytime there was a wet diaper. I stopped using Huggies until a friend recommended this when she was 4 months old and was in between sizes. This was the perfect size, no crystals, absorbs well, and is also really soft. Better than expected.

I have 23 month old twins and over the course of their lives, I feel like I've tried just about every brand of diapers out there. We started in Pampers and then when they got about 6 months old, we changed to store-brands, some were okay, some were horrible. However, I noticed about 2-3 months ago that those store brands were always leaking at night. We did try Huggies Overnights, but I found that it's just a pain to have daytime and nighttime diapers. We tried regular Huggies, but there were still a few leaks.

About a month ago, I exclusively switched to the Huggies Supreme and I am so happy that I did. We now have very few leaks. I have one of each (boy and girl), and the Huggies Supreme works so well on each of them. Yes, they are a little more expensive. With the Amazon subscription, I am paying about 28c a diaper. That's just about a cent less than Walmart, but I'm not having to lug them home. Having them come to my door is a bigger plus that you might think. Plus, they are just so darn cute. They are very soft and cushy and I just feel good about putting them on my babies (as silly as that may sound).

I used to purchase the pampers and then they put drymax in them which caused horrible diaper rash. These diapers are a little more money but worth no leaks! There is no odor or dyes in the diaper liner either which is nice! I try to save money by using the huggies snug and dry during the day and the little movers at night. My child sleeps through the whole night (10 plus hours) and is almost a year old and he has been waking up for 3 months in a row without being wet himself because these diapers are super absorbant.

When my wife and I had our first child, we started out using Pampers diapers, because that's what we had used in the hospital. While those diapers were adequate, we didn't really like the way that they forced our daughter to waddle with her knees turned out once she started learning to walk. I saw some Huggies Supremes advertising a more shaped fit in their toddler sizes, and decided to try a package.

What a difference it made! Not only did she walk more easily, but the diapers also had a significantly higher capacity, meaning that a single diaper would usually last through the night without overflowing. In addition, the fit was better to the point that poop explosions became a thing of the past. It was really nice not having to change soiled clothing along with the diapers.

Other parents we know report similar experiences. When our second child came along, there was no question - he started using Huggies Supremes right from the start.

Modern diapers have come a long way from the old cloth diapers, so here are a few tips for new parents on using them.

- The absorbent material in modern diapers is so effective that the diaper won't feel wet, and won't release any urine odor. The way to tell that the diaper needs to be changed is to squeeze slightly at the front of the crotch - on boys, a little higher, just above the private parts. If it feels like it did when the diaper was put on, it's still dry. If it feels more full and squishy, like a gel, it's wet. Poop you'll still have to tell by smell and the child's behavior.

- When putting these diapers on, stretch the elastic across the baby's back slightly, and make sure the front is also snug when velcroing the tabs shut. This will help minimize the chance of leaks at the waist or leg holes.

- A couple tricks for diapering in general: when changing a diaper, I spread the clean diaper out under the child first, before removing the dirty diaper. After undoing the tabs, I grab both ankles in my left hand, lift a couple of inches, remove the dirty diaper, and clean the baby from the back forward before lowering the baby's behind onto the clean diaper. For a boy, put a wipe over the front while doing the change to avoid fountains.

Each box contains two or four clear plastic bags with half or a quarter of the diapers in each bag. The bags have perforations and act as fairly convenient dispensers after removal from the box.

Since the sizing data is currently missing from the product description, here it is:
Size 1: up to 14 pounds
Size 2: 12-18 pounds
Size 3: 16-28 pounds
Size 4: 22-37 pounds
Size 5: over 27 pounds
Size 6: over 35 pounds

Huggies Supremes do cost a bit more than most other brands, but you will probably also use fewer diapers because of their larger capacity. Add to that the reduced chances of soiling baby's clothes, and they are well worth it!

I have been ordering these diapers for several months now and I am so upset that they have changed. They used to be pretty gentle and very sturdy, but now they have changed the make-up of the diaper and added dyes - it's like the Huggies Snug n Fit now- which are rough and have always given my daughter a diaper rash. So sad.

I loved this diapers, I switched to them from the very absorbent Huggies Pure & Natural, and they were as good for less money. Unfortunately, the last shipment (July) has not been as good, the diapers are different: the materials feel different to the touch; they are not as thick; the inner liner is tinted green and the outside graphics are darker. The diapers with the previous design never leaked, the new ones have to be changed more frequently and will leak! My baby's growth has slowed down, she drinks less formula and spends more time in the potty, and the new diapers do not protect her as well as they used to. We are switching back to Huggies Pure & Natural.

PS August 2011
As we finish the last shipment, I realized another difference: the previous diapers, when very full, sometimes would leak out very miniscule beads of the absorbent gel. A few little beads sometimes would stick to the baby's skin, for us it was never an issue. The new redesign doesn't work for us: no beads of absorbent gel leaks out, but for the first time in 8 months our baby has started to get a bit of a rash, and the baby spends most of her day in a humidity/temp. controlled rooms (plus daily baths, prompt cleaning).

I ordered these diapers after Amazon stopped carrying the Pampers 2-3 in Subscribe & Save. I am so dissapointed in these diapers, and will no longer be using Huggies. They are very bulky. I feel like I need a seperate bag for them, because 3 use up half the diaper bag. The paper rubs agains baby's skin and causes red marks. My 10 month old got his first diaper rash ever wearing these. It was so bad that his bottom started to bleed. They also leak. Happily going back to Pampers.

I honestly don't see the need to buy the more expensive "Little Movers". While they are softer than the Snug and Dry, they dont seem to hold as much. I worked in an infant room for 2 years and I swear by the "Snug and Dry" style of Huggies. Out of all the brands of diapers, those hands down have proved to do the best.

I love Huggies Little Snugglers, so when my daughter outgrew them, I decided to switch to Little Movers. I thought the quality would be similar, but these diapers are horrible. They frequently leak, I change my daughter's diaper every two hours, so it's not like overnight use/volume, and yes, I make sure the elastic ruffles are not folded in. Last night, I changed her diaper, put her in her pumpkin seat and went to the grocery store, when we got home (about 45 minutes later) I took her seat out of the car and there was urine pooled in the car seat's base. When I got her out of the seat, she was soaked, the car seat was soaked, and if not for the base my car upholstery would have been soaked too. That's was the last straw, I am never buying these again. Switching to Pampers.
