I’d first like to point out our review is based on experience not the fact that we reached out to both companies with no reply from either. Our first 2 kids were subject to what we could afford at the time with my oldest almost 25 and the second 22 years old now. From that point forward the next 1 child was a Huggies babies. At the time Huggies was the better brand. They were less expensive, absorbent and had a better feel. The con was once the baby went pee the diaper would smell almost instantly. Pampers began to gain traction with our 4th child leaving us with 6 Pampers babies. Their branding and diversification of a variety of new products began to consume the market and knocked Huggies to the number 2 spot. Pampers introduced a longer lasting, fresh smelling, thinner but up to 12 hour absorbent product. Now, while I’m not sure why anyone would keep a baby in a diaper that long, Pampers designed it though. We are getting ready to have our 10th baby in about 1½ weeks. With all the stuff to get ready, deciding which diapers to use was a major decision. We decided to go with Pampers Swaddlers for the newborn stage and the Pampers Cruisers for the next stage. The same as we have done with the last 3 babies. We typically buy diapers for months at a time, this time we bought 9 giant packs.
The Pros: Pampers Swaddlers for us are pretty much still the same. The smell ( We love the fresh baby smell), We find the Swaddlers to be very absorbent, we have never experienced leakage, we like the wetness indicator, We like the plush feel of the diapers they don’t feel really thin like some of the other brands including Pampers baby dry. The Cons: Pampers Swaddlers are pricey, you get fewer diapers for the same price as Baby Dry Pampers products, coupons are not as easy to get that offer competitive pricing to make a parent switch brands. For many that few dollars makes a difference. Pampers is losing a huge market share by catering to the market that can afford them but the impact of volume is where the loss is. We believe to get the best result from a diaper always go by the minimum weight on the next size up diaper to determine what size is right for the baby (example newborn size goes up to 10 pounds but size 1 starts at 8 pounds. I would switch my baby to size 1 at 8 pounds not wait until they reach 10 pounds to out grow the newborn size.) We found this really helps with leaks. Huggies were the best when Pampers only offered “baby dry”. Pampers came out with Swaddlers and Cruisers and that was a game changer. Pampers now has the best diapers, the smell, softness and the fabric as well as absorbency to name a few which is why our 10th baby will also be a Pampers baby! Babies cry for a reason, they are hungry, gassy, want to be held or need to be changed (there are plenty more but the review would be too long) if you want to eliminate one of the reasons your baby is crying and for baby comfort, use Pampers.

When it comes to choosing diaper brands, Huggies vs Pampers remain as the premium names. But which one would work best for your babies? Now, it is the time for a Pampers Vs Huggies battle. Healthy competition between Huggies and Pampers are in existence since the launching of these two premium brands. Huggies is a creation of Kimberly and Clark while Pamper is produced by Proctor and Gamble.

I equally like huggies little snugglers and pamper little swaddlers although I have found huggies fit better for chunkier babies. The natural diapers however I like huggies special delivery over pampers pure. Huggies special delivery are the best diapers in my opinion however not always are people able to pay the premium price. So pampers swaddlers or huggies snugglers are both a good choice.
