I never thought I’d spend so much time thinking about Pampers vs Huggies, but here we are. I have a clear favorite between the two; Pampers, even though I suspect the Huggies may do a better job of containing the most explosive of baby poops. Pampers excel in design & usability!
what’s better about Pampers’ design? glad you asked, I’ve had many a disturbed nocturnal hour to ponder the issue.
first and very important for new dads, the yellow tabs are a subtle but very effective cue to orientation. that side goes under your squirming and whaling baby. easy

second, once folded open, Pampers stay open. this is not a huge issue when fixing a fresh diaper to your new human, as gravity helps keep things down, but not having to dig around for them velcro tabs helps. Here, Pampers’ color cue comes in handy as well.
Speaking of velcro tabs, Huggies’ work very well. So well I sometimes doubt I can reposition them to “improve” my diaper installation. Diaper material tears away when undoing them. tbh, this has not posed problems as of yet, but Pampers tabs readjust without issue and hold fine.

So there you have it, why I dislike Huggies in 8 Tweets. Thus far we’ve mostly had Pampers, which spared my sanity.
Throughout this, the thing I’ve found most annoying & difficult is how to pull a *single* baby wipe from the
package. some day I may tweet about that. stay tuned!
