Rated 5 out of 5 by Sunndays10 from My new go to wipes!!! I used these wipes on my baby and thankfully they have not irritated him! They are extremely soft and gentle and work like they’re supposed to without all the extra added fragrances. They are thick and don’t dry out fast either

Rated 5 out of 5 by Fattietia8 from Best wipes ever Huggies Wipes Essentials are a reliable choice for parents looking for a budget-friendly, effective, and gentle wipe for their little ones. They are soft to the touch, which makes them gentle on delicate skin, yet they are also sturdy enough to handle even the messiest diaper changes without tearing. The wipes are infused with just the right amount of moisture, ensuring they clean thoroughly without leaving excess residue, and they are fragrance-free, which is ideal for babies with sensitive skin or allergies. One of the standout features is the thickness of the wipes. They feel substantial compared to other brands in the same price range, which means you typically need fewer wipes per change, saving both time and money. Additionally, the packaging is practical – it seals well to keep the wipes fresh and moist, even if you don’t use them daily.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Momof42 from A solid wipe I have a 3 month old and an almost 2 year old and this wipe does great for both. If someone is having issues where they would like a thicker wipe these are probably what they are looking for. Not once did they year. They also are pretty softer. Softer then most brands.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Emily5 from Better than expected I am thankful to have received these wipes to test from Home Tester Club. I didn't expect them to really be that much better than regular wipes, because why change what already works. But I was pleasantly surprised that I actually do like them a lot more. They are super soft and I never would have said my past wipes were too thin but these were noticeably thicker and I really liked that. Overall a great wipe that is surprising pleasant to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jkiss86865 from These baby wipes are a must have for on I had the pleasure of testing out the Huggies Essentials Baby Wipes for my little one and I must say that I was quite impressed! I really love that these are formulated for sensitive skin, so you can rest assured that your baby's skin is getting the care and nourishment it needs around the clock, which is so important! They contain only 7 ingredients which are free of fragrance, alcohol, parabens and any harsh chemicals. Instead, they are pH balanced and made up of 99% purified water and gentle cleansers designed to prevent the top 2 causes of rashes, moisture and mess. They have a Skin Protect liner that is designed to absorb moisture and block any messes and runniness away from your baby's skin. These wipes are up to 20% thicker, providing a washcloth like feel and experience and makes it much easier for blowouts/cleanup. I love how durable yet gentle they are, so they won't rip or tear like so many other brands. You really get the best of both worlds and I cannot recommend more!
