Huggies Ultra Comfort Diapers Review: A Disappointing Experience

My Disappointing Experience with Huggies Ultra Comfort Diapers

summarizeEditor's Summary

I was stoked to try Huggies Ultra Comfort diapers as a more affordable alternative to my trusty Huggies Elite Softs. Unfortunately, my experience with the Ultra Comforts was a letdown. The diapers looked promising at first, with a cute design and decent price. However, upon closer inspection, I found some major issues with the quality and performance. Here's the lowdown: the inner surface of the diaper isn't as absorbent as I'd like, the elastic bands are stiff, and there's not enough absorbent material to prevent leaks. The diapers also tend to run, which is super frustrating. And let's be real, the quality of the materials feels cheap. I'd say they're not the best value for money, especially considering the issues with absorbency and leaks.

I've been using Huggies Elite Soft diapers for my little one since birth, up to the 3rd size. To be honest, I was happy with everything about them, but when I saw the price for the 3rd size, I knew I had to look for an alternative that wouldn't break the bank. After scouring reviews and doing some research, I decided to give Huggies Ultra Comfort diapers for boys a try.

I ordered the pack from Detsky Mir during a sale, and I got 94 diapers for 1169 rubles, which works out to 12.4 rubles per diaper. That seemed like a good deal at first, but it's not as great as it sounds.

This is what the pack looks like. This is what the diaper looks like from the front and back:

Back view.

At first glance, the waistband elastic looks pretty good:

Waistband elastic. But after using it for a while, I noticed that it leaves some marks on my baby's skin, especially after sleep. That's not a major issue, but it's something to consider when choosing a diaper.

The side elastics do a good job of preventing leaks, but they're super stiff and not very elastic. They didn't leave any marks on my baby's skin, but I'm sure they would if my baby was a bit chubbier.

Side elastics. The adhesive strips on these diapers are great - you can stick and re-stick them up to 3-4 times without damaging them, which is a big plus. The material that the elastic is attached to is soft and stretchy, making it comfortable for my baby's skin.

Adhesive strips. The inner layer of these diapers left me a bit underwhelmed - it's just a standard cotton layer with no special features. There are 3 channels inside the diaper to distribute moisture, but they don't do a great job in my opinion.

Inner layer. I didn't notice anything wrong with these diapers at first, but when I put them on my baby for the night, I was surprised to find that the diaper was wet the next morning. I thought maybe it was just a one-time thing, but it happened again the next night. I was a bit puzzled - why was this happening?

So I took a closer look at the filled diaper. The moisture is distributed through the channels up to the back of the diaper, where the channels end and there's just a big lump of material about 5-6 cm long.

The problem is, at night, the moisture reaches this point, where the diaper stops absorbing well and starts to fill up with a big lump. It's like there's a solid block of material in the middle of the diaper, and the rest of it is just a thin layer of absorbent material. And that's where the leaks happen.

For me, this isn't very cost-effective. I wouldn't recommend these diapers for nighttime use, but they might be okay for a short trip where your baby only needs to go once. There are cheaper options available for that purpose, though.
