Jeans: A Summer Fashion Staple

In fact, a recent Huggies brand survey showed 40 percent of Moms wear jeans the majority of the week and own between four to six pairs each. Denim isn't just a fashion staple for Moms, as 57 percent of Moms surveyed purchased their child's first pair of jeans within the baby's first 6 months. To support this denim trend, Huggies brand is giving little ones everywhere a fun and fashionable way to express to themselves and their own personal style with the limited-edition Jeans Diaper.(1)
