A woman’s handbag reflects who she is at that moment in life, whether she carries a diaper bag (new mom), a clutch (packing light and ready for a fun evening), a briefcase (working gal), or nothing at all (free and totally unencumbered). We pretty much carry our lives in our bags: our ID, money, daily necessities, etc, so it’s important to pack it right, because if it’s in our bag when we need it, our days are easier.
For moms, diaper bags are pretty essential. We want them attractive, stylish, practical, easy to carry, and stocked to get us through our days, no matter what may come. All moms generally keep a wallet, diapers, wipes, and a diaper changing pad in their diaper bag. After that, it really depends on our individual needs. I’m a busy mom who spends a lot of time outside the house, so I keep my basic day to day essentials at hand in mine (and I can, because it has a zillion useful compartments). So… what’s in my diaper bag?
Mom On The Move: My Diaper Bag Essentials
- Huggies® Snug & Dry Diapers
- Natural wipes (for diaper changes and hand cleaning)
- My wallet and keys
- Sunglasses
- iPhone loaded with music apps for baby
- Toys for my toddler (he loves action figures)
- Snacks and/or drinks
- Not shown: my lipstick, notepad and pen, and diaper changing pad
As long as I have Huggies® Snug & Dry diapers and wipes for the baby, I can pretty much stay out of the house as long as my phone battery lasts! With so much to do, this is awesome, because I don’t feel tied down even with two boys to keep me company all day- instead, we have lots of fun together and everyone is happy, clean, dry, and entertained.
The ultimate test for Huggies® diapers & wipes is in real life – from messy first birthday parties to playground playdates. Put the new and improved products, including Huggies® Snug & Dry Diapers with NEW SureFit Design and Huggies Natural Care® Wipes with Triple Clean Layers, to the test in and out of the nursery.

Looks very similar to what was in my diaper bag as well as several outfits, thermometer and a few other needs:)
Ours is bursting at the seams – cloth diapers take a lot of space!
Even though my kids are no longer in diapers I still like to carry wipes in my purse. You never know when you will need them.
Love that you keep it to only the basics. Some people have super heavy diaper bags with loads of unnecessary stuff!
I usually don’t carry a lot in the diaper bag (just the necessities), unless my daughter is spending the night with my mother or mother-in-law. My handbag is a different story, though. ~lol~
Apps are a must have on the go!
Snacks, wipes, diapers, toys, and an extra outfit were always in our diaper bag.
I need to download some apps for Sweet T.
My purse is much more disorganized than yours but I do have wipes in there.
Looks like what I would probably have in mine if I still carried one.
I love the new wipes case. It’s so nice looking
You have a ton of great essentials in your diaper bag! It’s going to take some getting used to carrying a diaper bag again when my little girl gets here in August.
You have such a cute diaper bag.
I wish that was all I had in my bag, but I do have all of that stuff!
I still carry around wipes!
Oh man, I had wipes, my wallet, checkbook, lipgloss, chapstick, keys, diapers, carrot bum cream, about 3 outfits for both kids, toys, cell phone, cough drops.
I rocked a Coach diaper bag as well but also carried a separate purse for my own goodies. I needed all of the diaper bag space with three kids close in age!
I love your diaper bag!
Your diaper bag is super cute!
You are so organzied!
My kids are no longer in diapers, but I still carry wipes around with me.
I just keep a spare pair of leggings in my truck. My daughter has an accident about every 6 months while we are out.
I love being in this phase of life where I no longer need a diaper bag. I just throw a few diapers in my purse and I’m good to go. It’s awesome.
As the years are going by, my diaper bag essentials are changing. I will advise though that the most important thing to have in your diaper bag is wipes and diapers, and for that I always turn to Huggies!
love the new wipes case. makes it look so fancy
You have a much more less full diaper bag than I did. I had everything but the kitchen sink LOL
I still care wipes around with me, too, even though I haven’t carried a diaper bag in a number of years. 🙂
Me too!
My kids are finally out of diapers but I still keep the Huggies wipes handy for messy hands.
I can’t tell you how glad I was to ditch the diaper bag and go to a teeny tiny handbag when my daughter was out of diapers – it seems to me that I carried everything but the kitchen sink in my diaper bag…just in case… LOL!
Wipes are valuable even without little ones. Life is full of messiness!
Cute post. With my first son I had an actual diaper bag and though it was super cute and stylish, I found it to be so cumbersome…with my second son, I found this great purse that I loved and it was so great.
I no longer carry a diaper bag. It’s amazing at how much nicer they are these days. Huggies was one of my favorite brands for little ones.
