Rated 5 out of 5 by Grandana10 from Love them This wipes are much thicker, softer, come apart more easily and have the perfect amount of moisture. They clean and moisturizes, not too wet and skin friendly they’re water based and don’t leave a sudsy film behind.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Onana14 from Very Soft This wipes are great,I like the pouch it comes in, it makes it easy to open and close to keep from drying. It doesn’t have a smell which I like. So no lingering weird smell mixed with the smell you’re trying to wipe away. It’s for sensitive bottoms because it only has water which is a plus. Also has a good thickness. Sometimes you just need a simple ingredient wipe. I would have liked it more for it to be flushable.

Rated 4 out of 5 by KAMB8 from Excellent Baby Wipes! The Huggies Skin Essential Wipes have a soft thick quilted texture. They are not too wet just slightly damp so I feel like they do a good job cleaning & don’t spread things around. There is no strong fragrance just a bit of a citrus smell from the citric acid. I appreciate that these are hypoallergenic & don’t contain fragrances, parabens or phthalates.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Yuly043 from Great wipes These are the best wipes I've ever used. They are so soft and moist enough to get the job done without dripping everywhere.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chelsea8 from Huggies wipes As a Huggies lover vs other brands o thought these would be similar to my other Huggies wipes sensitive ones. However they are even better than those. They are thicker, and seem to wipe even better than the other Options. Not to mention they always rip right off even with one hand which when dealing with a poopy diaper is such a big help . 10/10 would use/buy again

Rated 3 out of 5 by Allicakes9 from Gets the job done Great wipes. Made with no harsh ingredients, just water so they are gentle. Thick and absorbent too! Also free of harsh chemicals! I’m making this 3 stars because I wish they were flushable or fully biodegradable since I hate seeing these end up in landfills. Im hoping for more eco friendly options!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wendy10 from Good ! Try it Huggies Sensitive wet wipes, mothers deserve it!!! I started using Huggies when my baby was born. They are fragrance-free and have good moisturizing properties. Huggies wipes are softer and smell better than pampers. Huggies is also my favorite. I have only bought it since I used it. First of all, it is very soft and fits the baby's butt very well. Secondly, it has moderate moisture content, unlike waterwipes, so it does not need to be dried for too long after wiping the baby's butt. And because it is not very moist, it will not be so cold, so it will not suddenly freeze the baby when wiping the baby's butt in winter. The most important thing is that it can really be operated with one hand, and it does not require two hands to take it out. And its size is also very moderate. If I have to say anything bad about it, it is that because it is not very moist, it is sometimes not easy to wipe off the poo stuck on the baby's butt. Overall, I am very satisfied. Finally, I used the discount fo

Rated 5 out of 5 by sunnyinNC7 from Moist, thick, durable, and don't shred! The thing that first sparked my interest is that these wipes are made with 99% water and don't contain any harsh or irritating ingredients. They are fragrance free, hypoallergenic and alcohol free so you don't have to worry about using them on sensitive areas. No harmful chemicals, dyes or other unnecessary additives. They are thick enough to get the job done without any soak through, shredding, tearing, etc. These things are incredibly STURDY! I find that you can tackle a lot without having to use a ton of wipes. The wipes have the perfect amount of moisture - they aren't dry feeling but aren't sopping wet either. I was pleased with how soft they are. I have tried many wipes in the past that were a bit on the rough side. Not the case with these!
