Rated 3 out of 5 by from Ok I used these for a bit after I was gifted them for my one year old when she was a newborn. They were ok. I fond them to be not as absorbent and would leak sometimes. I also found them not to be as soft as other nappies I had used. Cute pictures on them and are more affordable then other huggies nappies

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Huggies Essiential nappies Trialing many different nappies on our newborn, I found these not as soft and absorbent as others. I found these didnt hold up against those nasty poop explosions and I’d have to have a full outfit change when that occurred. As our little one grew and nappies were of a shortage I had to purchase these ones again. I found the next sizes up of this brand were not as bad as having them on a newborn. They fit better and we’re not as bulky. I believe they still don’t absorbs as much as other nappies but for a cheaper price they do the job and I would recommend them for day time use, just change them frequently or when needed.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Little Snug [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son tested the Huggies Essential Nappies, size 3. I found them good during the day but they didn't hold up for night time. My son is almost 10kg. I had a bit of trouble making sure they were secure around the waist and legs. I would be interested to try the next size up. The print was very cute with Mickey Mouse.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not bad for the price but not good [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We typically use Huggies Ultimate which work great for us but the essentials just don’t do as good a job. They dont hold as much, you definitely can’t use them over night and they just seem pretty low quality. For the low price they’re ok but you can get better nappies for a similar price range. I wouldn’t buy these again

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Moderately absorbent and leaks at night [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Huggies Essential is good for day use but I found it leaking at night. The material is thinner than the other ranges (Ultra Dry and Ultimates) so I found I needed to change it more often with these ones. It is very basic so if your child’s output is not a lot then this would be sufficient. My child has a high output so I would prefer the more premium ranges for higher absorbency.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Do the job I bought these by accident in a click and collect instead of the ultimate. They were totally fine I had no issues with leaks or skin irritation etc. they fit nicely too but you can tell by the feel that they are a cheaper option. I tend to only use during the day
Date published: 2021-11-02
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not to bad I've used these huggies a few times as back up nappies and definitely feel cheaper then the huggies in the green bag or box. I try to change bub each feed but if he slept longer than usual he had a few leaks. Overall ok as a back up but would stick to the more expensive huggies
Date published: 2021-09-29
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not sold on these I didnt realise there was a difference with the 'essentials range' but they're definitely not as good as normal Huggies. I like the fit, and the wetness indicator is always good... but I seem to get lots of leaks with them. Regular huggies I could probably leave on all night without leaks.
Date published: 2021-08-22
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Don't love them I tried these Essential nappies on my first born and found they were really thin and continually leaked. I would not recommend trying these especially when huggies have some other great nappies on the market. They are a little bit cheaper but you pay for what you get. Try another type.
Date published: 2021-08-18
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Okay I always buy Huggies nappies. That’s the only brand I’m using for my twins. That’s why I thought I try the essential range because they are cheaper than the other Huggies nappies. Unfortunately it’s not the best nappy from Huggies. They are not as soft as others. I didn’t have any problems with them. Just prefer the ultra dry ones.
Date published: 2021-07-28
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not too bad for newborn stage These nappies are not as luxurious as the normal Huggies range but did the job for my newborn. I was gifted them so didn’t purchase them myself, however, they turned out to be ok. I don’t know how good the absorbency would be if you weren’t doing frequent changes though.
Date published: 2021-06-23
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Perfect for newborn, not so much older baby Used size 1 and 2 with my boy and actually found them better than the normal Huggies. We had less leaks from these when he was in size 1 and 2. However once we went up to size 3 he would be wet not even halfway into the night. No other size 3 and up nappy that I've tried leaked so quickly and so often.
Date published: 2021-06-04
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Small but affordable I found these nappies to be a fair but smaller than other brands of newborn nappies. We were only able to have our son in them for not even 2 weeks. They did tend to leak fairly often out top, though this could be an honest mistake of ours too, being first time new parents. They are very affordable and soft on babies bottoms
Date published: 2021-06-02
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Thought they’d be better I tried Huggies essentials because of their price however I didn’t find them very good. I felt like I had to change them more frequently not making them very cost effective. I continue to use Huggies original for the little bit of extra money you spend is definitely worth it!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Had Better We were given a half pack of these nappies from a friend whose son had grown out of the size. Initially we thought that they were alright, but then we had too many blow outs. They are a lot thinner than the other Huggies nappies. Therefore they are less absorbent. I like that they have the wetness indicator on them.
Date published: 2021-01-11
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Huggies Essential nappies I thought i would give these a try as they were from the budget range. I feel that these are a bit thinner than the ultimate range. It still contains the wet line indicator which is my must have in a nappy. The mickey mouse print is pretty cute and gender neutral. I would still prefer buying the Huggies nappies from the high end range than this one. This would be something I would buy for daycare and for baby to wear during the day.
Date published: 2020-12-10
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Okay nappy My sister in law recommended we try these. They are okay nappies but not as good as other brands especially for night. I will probably use these for days when I’m at home but out and about on outings or over night I will be using baby love instead of these.
Date published: 2020-12-05
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Could Be Better over the past few months I've been trialing a few nappies with my Bub, I personally want too fond of this range of buggies nappies, I felt like even after an hour or two the nappy was damp on the outside even when the nappy wasn't full, and it really did not last overnight, by the time its morning the nappy is basically overflowing and her clothes saturated.
Date published: 2020-10-15
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Leakage - not the best huggies! We got given these nappies as a gift, and honestly for huggies, they are probably the worst nappies they have. I find that huggies overall are pretty good quality, but for some reason, these ones are thinner, worse quality and not that great to use. I really am not a fan of them at all and I find that they leak all the time.
Date published: 2020-09-07
Rated 3 out of 5 by from We love the huggies brand and have used them for both our sons. I brought the essentials nappies at the chemist when I forgot the nappy bag and was surprised by how disappointed I was in them. They are very thin and definitely not as absorbent as the other huggies nappies which I guess is reflected in the price but still not worth it in my opinion.
Date published: 2020-05-14
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Average nappy Not too bad! I wouldnt say 12 hour leak protection. I had to put 2 of these on my son of a night so he didn't leak through. During the day I found these fine. No issues. Can't really complain other than during the night. Not the best nappy out there but a good alternative if you couldn't find the ones you prefer.
Date published: 2020-05-08
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Average nappies I have bought and compared various different nappies, and these Huggies Essential nappies are pretty average. They are good for day time but I have found they leak sometimes, due to not being as absorbent as the Huggies Ultimate nappies. Overall, they are good value for money and do the job.
Date published: 2020-04-19
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Decided to try this nappy due to the Huggies brand - but am slightly disappointed. We are happy with the pricing of the nappy (budget) but the nappies are thin and not as soft or absorbent as the ultimate nappies. Have only tried these once and I will go back to the premium Huggies (or other brands).
Date published: 2020-04-18
Rated 3 out of 5 by from On the smaller side These are a very good huggies nappy, as most are. What I have found with these nappies is that they tend to be on the smaller side compared to other huggies nappies. While they are cheaper than other huggies nappies (or can be bought on special more often), they sometimes dont fit.
Date published: 2020-03-04
Rated 3 out of 5 by from These nappies are definitely not one of Huggies best nappies. I much prefer the ultra dry nappies or the premium nappies as they are much softer and more absorbent than the essential range. My baby actually developed nappy rash while wearing these nappies. I am unsure if it is a coincidence or not.
Date published: 2020-02-28
Rated 3 out of 5 by from cute print as I am Mickey fans bought this nappy as I love Mickey Mouse, but found out the quality is similar to supermarket brand nappy. Good thing is this one got a cute Mickey print all over. I use this nappy for daytime and Huggies Ultimate for night time or dayout as Ultimate is thicker and softer.
Date published: 2020-02-21
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Being a huggies lover, I was really eager to try these more budget friendly essentials. I couldn’t have been more disappointed. Not only did they smell pretty badly as soon as there was a little bit of wee in them, but after using them for 2 days, my son developed a bad rash from them. I’m sure for some people they would work fine, but they definitely weren’t for us.
Date published: 2020-02-03
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Average quality I was given a pack of these recently but I honestly didn't care for them. The quality was average and no different to the other cheap nappies I buy. I found the sizing a little awkward so there was a few leaks but I did like that they still include the blue strip down the front. Cute design and good price but I wouldn't go out of my way for them.
Date published: 2020-01-14
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Ok for the price Ok for the price for a cheaper alternative. Thinner than regular huggies and we have had a few leaks when I have bought these. We have found they are not great for over night, but ok for day time when changing regularly. What you would expect for a cheaper nappy
Date published: 2019-12-18
Rated 3 out of 5 by from These are a cheaper hughies nappy but I noticed they are very thin theres not much padding like the other huggies nappies my son cant ho through the night with these nappies. They are very cute with the printing and they dont cause rashes. You just need to change them more regular.
