What it does

The lower cost Huggies tape diaper, here in size 4 for babies 22 to 37 lbs.

  • Budget line with the same core leak features as pricier Huggies
  • Curved, stretchy fit with elastic sides
  • Wetness indicator that changes color

  • Sold in large one month packs

A solid everyday diaper for families who want Huggies leak protection at the lowest price in the range. BabyGearLab's lab tests placed it fifth of 17 diapers with good absorption and leak scores. The trade off is a thinner, less soft feel than Little Snugglers, and an older lab review reported a scent even though current listings call it fragrance free.
