Review of Huggies Overnites Diapers

I have always been one of the new moms that other new moms tend to hate. My daughter’s always had a good temperament and no health problems to speak of so far (knock on wood!). And at one month old, she began sleeping through the night, which I was always thankful for. But now, she’s four months old, and has graduated from sleeping in her swing all night (hey, as a new mom, you do whatever works!) to sleeping in her crib. But with the switch over came a new issue – how do I keep the crib dry? After a couple of weeks in her crib, I was getting frustrated with the fact that I’d come to get her in the morning & she’d be soaked along with the crib. I didn’t like having to clean up every day, but I also was greatly concerned for my poor baby sleeping in that mess. So one day, having noticed that Huggies had sent me some coupons, I realized that one of the coupons was for Huggies Overnites Diapers, and I was curious and wanted to give it a try. Here’s my review of how it worked out for my daughter.

At first glance, Huggies Overnites Diapers are a little pricier in comparison to other options you may have. But consider this: these are meant for overnight use only, so if you buy the standard jumbo package of about 31 diapers like I did, they should last you nearly an entire month.

Huggies Overnites Diapers come in four sizes: 3 (16 – 28 lbs), 4 (22 – 37 lbs), 5 (27 – 40 lbs), and 6 (over 35 lbs). The only downside was that no smaller sizes are available, although in all fairness, babies younger than what would be considered a size 3 are usually not sleeping through the night yet. My daughter is about 15 lbs and size 3 does fit her pretty comfortably.

Upon first feel, Huggies Overnites Diapers feels a little rough. The outside could almost be compared to cardboard, but the inside feels soft and smooth, and that’s the most important part. The diaper comes up pretty far on my baby’s torso and back, so it appears that she gets plenty of coverage. And for being an overnight diaper, they really don’t appear too bulky, which was a pleasant surprise.

But the most important question remains: do Huggies Overnites Diapers really work? I’m pleased to say that my answer is yes! I’ve been using them for nearly a month now and she has yet to leak into her clothes or onto the crib. And the best part, in my opinion, is that she seems comfortable. She barely fusses in the night (like she used to when she’d soak through her previous diapers), and greets me with smiles in the morning. Her skin isn’t irritated at all, so it appears that the diaper holds quite a bit, but still keeps baby nice and dry. Just for testing purposes, I have taken on diaper and pured a full glass of water into it, and to my surprise, there was absolutely no leaking, and the surface felt a bit damp but not unbearable.

So would I recommend Huggies Overnites Diapers to any moms out there? Absolutely. And the fact that Huggies is constantly sending coupons helps, too. But I’m willing to spend any kind of money necessary on these diapers. After all, they’re for my daughter, and nothing is too expensive when it comes to her comfort.
