Huggies
reviews and complaints

I have always used either pampers snugglers, walmarts brand (parents choice), or targets brand (up & up) for my son (8 months ols). recently i was given a box of huggies lil snugglers, so i decided to try them. i noticed they were not very absorbent, the lining always busted and my son frequently had gel on his diaper area. one morning i had enough when i changed his diaper first thing from waking, and noticed his clothes were wet. when i took them off, he was covered from his bottom to his shoulders, front to back, in the gel. i was disgusted and immediately bathed my child.

the biggest issue, though, is that around the same time i started using the huggies and having this issue, my son started to get a diaper rash. i treated it with different ointments as instructed by his pediatrician, but nothing worked. we eventually came to the conlusion that it was a yeast rash, and by this time it was so bad that it hurt for him to potty. he would only go a little bit and cry to have his diaper changed, and after i changed his diaper, would immediately go a little more, and repeat the process till he was done. i eventually got the rash to clear up, but now his father and i are battling it out for custody now claiming i am neglectful. it infuriates me that these diapers have not only caused my son to suffer with this ongoing rash, but also for the legal battle he is now being drug through.

i made a report with kimberly clark, and they offered me a voucher for more diapers! i refused, and accepted some vouchers for whipes instead, but the damage is irreparable and detrimental.

i want to know, has anyone had a problem with the gel bursting out and/or a yeast rash?

Recently I decided to try Huggies nappies for my 3 month old, firstly I found that these nappy leaked despite how well they were put on, one side was always cut different from the other. To my great surprised I opened one nappy and found what appeared to be packaging tape embedded in the nappy. Sadly I have 92 more nappies to go before I can switch back to pampers which I must admit is the best choice for babies and does not leak or tear like Huggies.

I bought a pack of Huggies Dry Comfort for my daughter to use during the day, the first few nappies I used were ok, then I found a nappie with no strip on one side so I checked the pack, I then found quite a few defective nappies in the pack. I usually use Huggies Gold so I went and bought a pack of it, to my surprise I found a few defective nappies in there as well, which has never happened before, so now I'm sitting with two packs of damaged nappies and I have to travel up and down to buy new nappies. What can I do, please help?

Thanks

ive recently bought a pack of huggies wipes from home bargains Pwllheli Gwynedd. As i took some wipes out from the packaging to wipe my friends son i felt a sharp object scraping my skin. As me and my friend investigated what could it be we discoverd it was a needle that was pierced through all the wipes inside the packaging. There are no holes in the packaging so it must of came from when the wipes were being made. I want to no how did it get there and are there any more packets containing needles? its a disgrace. it could have caused serious injuries to my friends child or any one else really. as the needle has scraped my skin, am i at risk of catching a disesase? im now taking further action as theyre suppose to be looking after skin not piercing or scratching someone's skin. i wont be buying huggies and i wont be recommending them again.

I noticed a couple of months ago that Huggies Snug n' Dry Diapers (various sizes & lot numbers) were leaving blue stains on my kids and their clothing. It seems to have started when they changed to the pattern with bubble/circles. Which is, also, when they seem to have added blue bye to let you know when you're baby is wet. I had to soak the clothing and scrub at it to get it off, some items never came free of the blue color. Thankfully, 2 of my kids never developed any rashes from them, my oldest though did seems to have a little rash on her bum & leg area, nothing to severe and it has gone away now that we have switched to Pampers. I contacted Huggies to let them know and their response was -
"Because the safety of our products is our number one priority, you can be confident that all components in our products have been thoroughly tested and are safe. We apologize for any inconvenience or distress that you experienced. Please be assured that we will share your comments with our Quality team." They sent some coupons, but we switched to Pampers anyways.

I recently brought a batch of huggies nappies, from Chelmsley Wood Asda size 6, on opening the pack I have found that some of the nappies are missing the velcro strip. I have always used huggies for both of my kids as I have found them better then pampers or other own brands. I'm sure you can appreciate how up set I am as I work part time and spend my wages on nappies to find this problem. please would you tell me what you are going to do to prevent this problem from occurring again .

I have bought packs of Huggies Gold 4 on 2 occations where I discovered that the elastic does not strech as it should or the nappies where smaller than they should be. My daugher ended up with marks on her waist as the nappies where not confortable. This is very dissapointing as I have always used and relied on huggies gold.

I just went and bought a box of size 5. Snug&dry huggies diapers about a week ago. I have always loved huggies and used them on both my daughter and son. But lately it seems like almost everyother diaper i put on him the tabs will come off and i have to throw it away, or the tops of the diapers are ripped open. I didn't notice what is was at first but i noticed a white stuffing stuff in his shirt exc. than i realized what it was. Than for some reason i can change him and within a half hr he pees everywhere. Usually on me. But it's a wast of my money to buy these diaper than turn around 1wk and half later and have to buy more diapers. Huggies are not a cheap brand. I have realized that only the snug&dry i have problems with. The supr. Or overnights. Work great. But i get less in those kind.

Thanks Amanda

I hate to complain, but I have always purchased Huggies Little Swimmers, and never had a problem with them, until today. My toddoler had one own, and went to the bathroom in it, and it came out in the pool. It had just happened too. Not pleased at all. In my opinion, they should work like a diaper for ones not potty trained. For the price you pay for them, they should fully function as a regular diaper. Thank you for listening to my complaint about Huggies Little Swimmers.

I have always bought my baby baby girl month old huggies diapers as I found it to one of the superior brands, however to my recent dismay I have had the most unfortunate experiences:

1st the huggies dry comfort:

While putting the diapper on for my baby the velcro strap cut off.

Then when I tried from a differenct pack of huggies dry comfort the absorbtion section separated into broken pieces making my baby very uncomfortable. Thereafter I purchased Huggies Gold.

Yesterday the 8thJuly 2011 to my utter disbelief this diapper had the gel leaking out of it after baby weed once. I am extreming unhappy with the fact that huggies have dropped the ball with product quality. Bareing in mind that Huggies Gold can range anything from £170.00 per pack upwards, I am disappointed in the poor quality.

I feel my baby deserves the best possible quality products and therefore I pay my price when purchasing her essentials. I feel most let down in this instance.

Most displeased,

Hi I've bought a box of huggies nappys and the molding on the inside is sharp and has hurt my daughters bum give get a bad rash. It was not on or two it was every nappie in the box. Cause of this I had to go to pampers. I'm not happy of this and would like to know what u can do about this

I have been having the same issue with blue dye on my daughter's thighs that others have mentioned on this site (and other sites/bulletins boards I have found just by googling "huggies blue dye"). I have found complaints about this problem dated from mid-2009, and I am surprised and disappointed that Huggies has not fixed the problem to date. I'll be changing brands today and will get rid of the Huggies I have at home.

We have always used huggies brand diapers because they seemed to work the best. The past few boxes of diapers have been leaving a blue dye on my almost 2 year old son's inner thighs. At first I thought it was a bad box of #4's. Then we moved up to #5 and it was happening again. The pull-ups my mother bought did the same thing along with the overnight diapers. I no longer buy huggies. I was especially disappointed because we LOVED the overnights... I did contact Kimberly Clark and they were very nice, but they did tell me they had not had that complaint before, I was surprised. Then I looked it up on the internet and saw that I wasn't the only one.

I've been using Huggies Snug and Fit since the birth of my daughter. She is now 20 months old. Since the last big box of Huggies I bought from Costco, my daughter has had a dye on her inner thighs. It comes off, but not easily. At first I thought it was the new pants I bought her, but it continued to happen and has persisted regardless of the type of clothing. The only consistent factor is the Huggies. There is a blue liner with elastic and also a blue design on the outside of the diaper toward where her inner thighs would rub. I switched to cloth diapers and the dye went away. Huggies is distributing an inferior product and has lost me as a customer.

I am very disappointed with huggies gold, I have supported them since my son was born, and their quality has turned bad! I use the huggies gold at night as it does not leak and tear apart, but the last pack that I bought didn't help at all! Every morning the gel is all over the place as the nappies tears apart during the night, they are supposed to be good nappies as you pay a lot for them, and I've never had this problem before with them, but this last pack was just awful! I like the nappies and would like to continue buying them, so I hope this problem will be solved! I feel that I have spent money on something I trusted and I just wasted a lot of money because it does not work like it always did!

I spend the extra money to buy Huggies pull ups because they are better then the no name but the last time I bought them they came apart in the middle of the night and I had a mushy gel mess of stinky pee to clean up in the morning and had to wash all the bedding. I buy pull ups so I don't have a mess to clean, I am questioning weather I should continue buying them or not.

I would just like to inform ”Huggies”, that their new unique fit nappies are not so great. In fact I would go so far as to say that the quality has deteriorated. Firstly, the nappies now feel like they are made from paper and the ink from the Winnie-the-pooh character graphic now rubs off and makes my baby’s clothes green around the nappy area. Secondly, the stretchy waistband doesn’t seem to be as stretchy as the old nappies and the fasteners are not stretchy at all.
