What a difference it made! Not only did she walk more easily, but the diapers also had a significantly higher capacity, meaning that a single diaper would usually last through the night without overflowing. In addition, the fit was better to the point that poop explosions became a thing of the past. It was really nice not having to change soiled clothing along with the diapers.

Other parents we know report similar experiences. When our second child came along, there was no question – he started using Huggies Supremes right from the start.

Modern diapers have come a long way from the old cloth diapers, so here are a few tips for using them.

- The absorbent material in modern diapers is so effective that the diaper won’t feel wet, and won’t release any urine odor. The way to tell that the diaper needs to be changed is to squeeze slightly at the front of the crotch – on boys, a little higher, just above the private parts. If it feels like it did when the diaper was put on, it’s still dry. If it feels more full and squishy, like a gel, it’s wet. Poop you’ll still have to tell by smell and the child’s behavior.

- When putting these diapers on, stretch the elastic across the baby’s back slightly, and make sure the front is also snug when velcroing the tabs shut. This will help minimize the chance of leaks at the waist or leg holes.

- A couple tricks for diapering in general: when changing a diaper, I spread the clean diaper out under the child first, before removing the dirty diaper. After undoing the tabs, I grab both ankles in my left hand, lift a couple of inches, remove the dirty diaper, and clean the baby from the back forward before lowering the baby’s behind onto the clean diaper. For a boy, put a wipe over the front while doing the change to avoid fountains.

Each box contains two or four clear plastic bags with half or a quarter of the diapers in each. The bags have perforations and act as fairly convenient dispensers after removal from the box.

Since the sizing data is currently missing from the product description, here it is:

Size 1: up to 14 pounds

Size 2: 12-18 pounds

Size 3: 16-28 pounds

Size 4: 22-37 pounds

Size 5: over 27 pounds

Size 6: over 35 pounds

Huggies Supremes do cost a bit more than most other brands, but you will probably also use fewer diapers because of their larger capacity. Add to that the reduced chances of soiling baby’s clothes, and they are well worth it!

We tried Overnites diapers for three consecutive nights and they leaked every night. At first, we thought we were doing something wrong, but then we switched back to Supreme and had no leak issues, so the problem is with Overnites.

Overnites seem to be thinner than Supreme and have less absorbent material. This product did not work for us. Amazon was great as always in making the return easy.
