Our vote for the best diaper for sensitive skin is Huggies' Snug and Dry Diapers due to being hypoallergenic, free from fragrances and parabens, plus elemental chlorine and natural rubber latex, which means a soft, comfortable diaper and a healthier skin option for your baby.
For the parent of the child who is always on the go, and is looking for the fit that allows their baby to move freely and avoid diaper rash, Huggies diapers may be the way to go. For the parent of the child with sensitive skin or an allergy to latex, you might want to consider Pampers diapers.
One of the clearest signs that your baby is allergic to their diaper is chronic rashes, especially if you're vigilant about changing them as soon as you notice a soiled diaper. The regular occurrence of the rash likely means there is an element in the diaper your baby is having a reaction to.
Signs and symptoms of diaper rash include: Inflamed skin in the diaper area — buttocks, thighs and genitals. Itchy, tender skin in the diaper area. Sores in the diaper area.
Common signs of diaper rash include: Red bumps along with larger reddened areas of the skin around the diaper area or in the folds of your baby's upper thighs. Peeling, flaking, or scaly skin. The affected area may look puffy and tender, and feel warm to the touch.
Nearly 1,200 birthing hospital in the U.S. trust Huggies® brand diapers as the first diaper worn by nearly 1.5 million babies every year*.
Pampers earns the top spot on our list because the company designs diapers with all kids in mind, including the tiniest and newest of littles, newborns. The company's diapers feature a wetness indicator to tell when it's time for a change, and an umbilical cord cut-out to prevent any irritation on newborns.
Some babies get a rash after switching to a new type of diaper. While experts don't recommend any particular brand, if your child is sensitive, look for diapers free of dyes or fragrances. Some babies are sensitive to baby wipes — water and a washcloth work just as well and may be a gentler option.
Huggies diapers have a higher leak rate than competing brands, despite being built with more absorbent material. Pampers diapers are more absorbent and successfully stop leaks.

With an ultra plush liner, these hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested diapers are gentle and soft on delicate newborn skin. They're also free of irritants like fragrances, bleach, and lotions and earn high marks from parents for absorbency.
Overzealous cleansing can cause or worsen irritation and delay skin healing. Gentle cleansing with warm water and a soft cloth is usually sufficient.
Irritant contact dermatitis is the most common type of diaper rash. It develops when something in the diaper, or sometimes the diaper itself, irritates the skin. This type of dermatitis tends to get worse when a baby sits in a wet or dirty diaper for a long period of time.
Some children will get a rash from certain brands of disposable diapers, or from sensitivity to some soaps used in cloth diapers.

Babies can go through up to ten diapers a day, though yours might need more or less. To be on the safe side, plan for up to 70 diapers per week, which is 280 newborn diapers in your baby's first month.
Your baby's diapers are too tight.
Wearing diapers that are fastened too tightly can trap moisture, which can cause diaper rash. Diapers that are too tight may also cause rubbing and irritation.
In the vast majority of cases, a child's diaper rash isn't the result of a food allergy. It's the result of an intolerance. While a lot of people use the terms “allergy” and “intolerance” interchangeably, they have specific medical definitions.
