Huggies believes deeply in the Power of Hugs. That's why every Huggies diaper and wipe is inspired by parents' hugs. For nearly 40 years, Huggies has been helping parents provide love, care and reassurance to help babies thrive. No Baby Unhugged is Huggies promise to ensure babies get the care they need to thrive – from innovative everyday products, growing hospital hugger programs and specially-designed products for the tiniest of babies, to diapers and wipes donations. Throughout 2016 Huggies responded to President Obama's call with incremental diaper donations and partnerships to expand upon its long-standing commitment and leadership in the fight against diaper need – including first-of-a-kind event marketing programs. HUGGIES® teamed up with the Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, Publix, Safeway, Meijer, Nicole Ryan (Sirius Hits XM 1) and Chanel Smith to leverage the power of the NFL to galvanize local communities around the issue of #diaperneed.
