What it does

Huggies' premium fragrance free disposable diaper in size 3, for babies 16 to 28 pounds, sold here as a 156 count one month supply box.

Huggies says it is clinically proven hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested
Made with plant-based materials, 20%+ by weight according to Huggies
Huggies lists it as fragrance free, paraben free, lotion free and free of elemental chlorine bleach
100% breathable outer cover and a back pocketed waistband that Huggies says helps prevent blowouts
Huggies calls it its softest diaper and backs that with a refund guarantee

A sensible choice for parents who want a soft diaper that Huggies sells as hypoallergenic and free of fragrance, parabens, lotion and elemental chlorine bleach, and who are willing to pay more than for mainstream Huggies. Reviewers praise the softness and blowout control, but one hands-on review found it wicks moisture away from the skin less well than Huggies Little Snugglers.
