Huggies Special Delivery Diapers, Size 2
A soft, fragrance free size 2 diaper with good blowout control and a high cost per diaper.
The short version
- Babies 12 to 18 pounds whose parents want a fragrance free, hypoallergenic labeled diaper
- Parents who have had blowouts up the back with other brands
- Families who can buy it in larger boxes to keep the cost down
- Your baby is already near 18 pounds, since size 3 starts at 16 pounds and you may need it soon
- You only find the 29 count pack and cost matters
- You want a biodegradable diaper
What owners like
- Notably soft against the skin, in line with Huggies calling it its softest diaper
- Good at stopping leaks and blowouts up the back
- Holds about as much as regular Huggies in a hands-on water test
- Neutral, low key prints
Common complaints
- Priced above mainstream Huggies; one reviewer put it at 10 to 15 percent more than Little Snugglers
- Surface stayed damp to the touch in one wicking test, where Little Snugglers did better
- Some find it bulky between the legs
- Smaller pack sizes raise the per diaper cost

What it does
Huggies' premium fragrance free disposable diaper in size 2, for babies 12 to 18 pounds, bought as a 156 count one month supply box; Amazon now lists this item as a 29 count pack.
- Huggies says it is dermatologist tested and clinically proven hypoallergenic
- Contains plant-based materials, which Huggies puts at 20%+ by weight on its size 3 listing
- Free of fragrances, lotions, parabens and elemental chlorine bleach, per Huggies
- Back pocketed waistband and flexible layered leg cuffs that Huggies says help hold in blowouts
- 100% breathable outer cover
Worth a look for parents of a young baby who want a soft diaper that Huggies sells as clinically proven hypoallergenic and free of fragrance, lotion, parabens and elemental chlorine bleach. The catch is cost: it runs above mainstream Huggies, and the current Amazon listing is a small 29 count pack rather than the bulk box, which raises the per diaper cost further.
