Rated 5 out of 5 by Oliviar7 from Feels so soft I'm huge on sensory & these wipes are so soft. It makes your skin feel like it's cleaning it while making it softer at the same time . I love that there's no harsh ingredients! Huggies is a well known brand that I used for both of my kids because they just make products that as a parents make you feel like they take the time to ensure your baby had the best quality products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LTriesThings9 from Best for my baby I love these Huggies wipes. The resealable packing is perfect and stops the wipes from drying out. The wipes are thick but super gentle on the skin. I’d trust using it even for sensitive skin

Rated 5 out of 5 by Young25673 from Thick and effective This product is gentle and effective while protecting my grand daughter's bottom. It is thick enough that it doesn't tear while using them and they don't have a horrible smell to them like some of the other do. I will definitely be using them again!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Nia335 from Lovely however… Pros: Thick durable wipes Luxurious feel Easy to remove from packaging (doesn’t clump together like water wipes and the seal is effective) Mainly comprised of water Has some relatively safe and beneficial ingredients Cons: I prefer products that have less ingredients- less is more. The more ingredients in the product, the more the concern for allergic reactions/developments/sensitivities. For eg Sodium Benzoate is a known dermatological allergen. Butoxy PEG-4 PG-Amodimethicone and Polysorbate 20 are carcinogenic with the ethylene oxide. The best thing to do is make your own cloth wipes. But these Huggies wipes are fine for times when you can’t/don’t wanna use cloth wipes as you won’t be exposing your kids to it everyday, and they’re more affordable than the safer wipes (budget friendly)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Misty4 from Good Quality This did not irritate my granddaughters skin. The wipes were good quality and perfect moistness. I would decently purchase this product again just because of how good it did with her skin
