At my baby shower I was lucky enough to receive lots of different diapers, giving me a chance to "try before you buy" so to speak. One of the diapers I received was a giant box of the Huggies Pure and Natural Diapers. I'm a fairly Earth conscience person, so these really appealed to me and in my naivety I thought for sure a box that big would last me for at least a month (Ha!). So I put on diaper #1 and.....it doesn't fit. I gave birth to a 8 pound 21.5'' baby, so not a little guy, but the diapers were to big. Now I don't know about you but I want my newborn size diapers to fit my newborn, call me crazy. The waist was big and the leg holes even bigger, leading to some major leaks. I tried them again a week or so later when he had gained a big more weight, and while they fit that time they still leaked like crazy.
All newborn diapers typically have a little cut out in the front so the top doesn't rub against the umbilical cord stump. These diapers had the biggest cut out of any brand I tried, the dip went down almost to my little boy's bits. So literally every time he urinated it would come leaking out the top. They might work ok if you had a little girl, but for boys they are completely useless. And if your baby has skinny legs the urine will drip right out, I can't tell you how many times I changed his whole outfit because of a leak only to find that his diaper was completely dry.
I would not recommend this particular style of Huggies to anyone, they just ended up being a waste of money and time. There are better brands out there for newborn diapers for about the same price, some of which I loved and when I had to buy diapers that's what I bought. But more about those diapers later.
