No leaks,
This works great for my son. He’s on size 3 now and we’ve been using the swaddlers ever since he was a newborn. I have never had a problem with them. We tried thinner diapers but they didn’t work on him. I think it really just depends on each child. Anyway, the swaddlers are great. The dry-max helps absorb quite well so it’s not a big mess when you get in there to change them. I’m not going to say he’s 100% dry but it’s close enough and that makes my life a lot easier. The more dry the diaper, the less wiping and irritating I have to do on his little skin! This baby seems to have a tougher skin than our daughter did, too.
Dry-max or not, I still have to deal with diaper rash from time to time. The good thing is that the way the swaddlers fit/sit, they don’t rub when he moves so I can help him heal quicker that way. Just a little bit of his Desitin diaper rash ointment- Desitin Creamy Diaper Rash Ointment + FREE Baby Ganics Thick N’ Kleen (Fragrance Free) Baby Wipes- apply, leave it sit for about a minute and then put on the fresh diaper. I think it helps to have it trapped with nowhere to go to allow it to absorb better. Great pair though…he’s a trooper and this combination leaves me with very little changing resistance!

|Dry-Max vs. Non Dry-Max … are you confused? Maybe I can help!,
New parent here. I have been using Swaddlers since my baby was born (newborn size). Great diapers in my opinion.
I had read that some Pampers diapers had Dry-Max in them and that it could irritate sensitive skin. However, as much reading I did online I never got a good concrete answer on which Pampers Swaddlers had dry-max in them.
To convolute things even more, go to a local store that sells diapers and you will probably find that some Pampers Swaddlers packages say “with Dry Max” on them and some dont (I’m not talking about the Sensitive version – Just regular Swaddlers). So Pampers makes two versions of Swaddlers, one with Dry max and one without? WRONG! (well, at least according to Pampers themselves that is wrong). Straight from Pampers customer service:
1. Any regular Pampers Swaddlers (non-Sensiitive versions) diapers have Dry-Max (regardless of whether it says Dry-max on the packing or not)
2. Pampers Swaddlers SENSITIVE do NOT have Dry-Max
I confirmed this by sending them the product codes of various diapers I had bought online and in actual stores, and they confirmed that each one had dry-max in it (even though some of the packaging did not explicitly say dry-max on it).
For the really confusing part, there is a non-sensitive Pampers Swaddlers Newborn diaper that does NOT have dry-max in it, even though it is packaged like a “regular” Swaddler (i.e. non-sensitive). Look closely and you will see on each of these newborn packages that it has a special little symbol on it that reads “SPECIALIZED HOSPITAL PRODUCT”. What’s that all about? I contacted Pampers again:
“Thanks for writing!
There is some packaging that is normally not offered at the retail level. These Swaddlers are going to be plain white for the hopsitals, and the make up of the diaper is like Swaddlers Sensitive. “
So at least for some newborn Swaddlers, they are made like Sensitive Swaddlers and do not have dry-max. Those diapers can be found here (see sellers Trend Marketing or Planet Stuff):
Pampers Swaddlers Newborn 240 Diapers (12 packs of 20)
whew…that was confusing right? So in summary, according to Pampers themselves:
ANY “regular” Swaddlers have Dry-max, UNLESS the packaging says “SPECIALIZED HOSPITAL PRODUCT” on the outside.
ANY “sensitive” Swaddlers do NOT have dry-max.
I hope this helps someone!!

|Great Product — But Why the Confusing Product Differences Pampers? (Read for explanation on Dry-Max vs. Non-Dry Max),
Most hospitals I know of will use these Pampers Swaddlers diapers for babies born in the hospital. I am sure many of you are buying these because it was what your baby first used at the hospital.
I have been ordering these exact diapers (either from sellers Trend marketing or Planet Stuff, both “fulfilled by Amazon”) for about a month now for my newborn (born 6lbs 7oz). They fit her great and we have not had any leaks or blowouts (knock on wood). They are soft, seemingly comfortable for her, and I do not believe that it irritates her skin.
Here comes the tricky part.
As you may or may not know, Pampers has something called “DRY MAX” that is added to some diapers to make them more absorbent. These extra substances may or may not irritate your baby’s skin. Search online and you will find that many people have complained about having DRY MAX in the diapers and it giving their baby a rash.
To convolute things even more, go to a local store that sells diapers and you will probably find that some Pampers Swaddlers packages say “with Dry Max” on them and some dont. So Pampers makes two versions of Swaddlers, one with Dry max and one without? WRONG! (well, according to Pampers themselves that is wrong).
Straight from Pampers themselves:
1. Any regular Pampers Swaddlers (non-Sensiitive versions) diapers have Dry-Max
2. Pampers Swaddlers SENSITIVE do NOT have Dry-Max
So, what about these diapers? They are marked as Pampers Swaddlers (non-Sensitive). So we assume they have Dry-Max in them right? WRONG! Pampers does it again and confuses us even more — order these (from the sellers i listed) and you will notice that packaging has a special little symbol on it that reads “SPECIALIZED HOSPITAL PRODUCT”. What’s that all about? I contacted Pampers again:
“Thanks for writing!
There is some packaging that is normally not offered at the retail level. These Swaddlers are going to be plain white for the hopsitals, and the make up of the diaper is like Swaddlers Sensitive. “
So there you have it. Even those these are marked as Regular Swaddlers, they are a special hospital version and do NOT have Dry-max (a.k.a. are made like Swaddlers Sensitive).
whew, that was confusing!
When my baby moves up to size 1, i will go straight to Swaddlers Sensitive and not even deal with this dry-max vs. non-drymax fiasco (note: many people are happy with dry-max too! just depends on your baby!)
hope this helps!!!!
edit* just wanted to mention, in the Amazon picture for this product you can actually see the special symbol. It is a white circle with a + in the middle, and around it says “Specialized Hospital Product”
