Huggies Unveils New Teeny Tiny Diapers Just For Preemies

A new baby is always stressful, but it's even more so if your baby comes earlier than expected. In such a difficult time, properly-fitting diapers shouldn't have to be a worry for new parents. But until now, there wasn't a good solution for those tiniest of infants. 

When Huggies learned about the need for specially-designed preemie diapers, they quickly began the research required to do it right.

They needed a diaper that wasn't just small enough for babies under two pounds, but one that was also safe for delicate skin and non-restrictive for growth and development. 

Huggies wasn't concerned about money. Even though only 1.4% of babies per year fit the category, they wanted to ensure that all Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) had a solution for their most fragile patients. 

They worked with NICU nurses and neonatal therapists to develop the new diapers — and were so inspired by the need that, after only six months, the Huggies Little Snugglers Nano Preemie Diapers were ready to launch.

Even though they worked quickly, Huggies made sure not to cut corners. The fasteners and absorbent pad are specially-sized for preemies, and the liner and leg gathers are extra gentle for delicate skin.

These achievements in design mean that the baby can be comfortable and safe, even in a fetal tuck position. 

And they didn't just stop at the design process. Every Nano and Micro Preemie Diaper is inspected and folded by hand before being placed carefully in their boxes. 

Huggies wants to make sure that no manufacturing or packaging mistake could accidentally harm the most fragile babies.
