Baby diapers vary in style, size, price. In addition, they can be in the form of Velcro diapers, which are familiar to many in appearance, or in the form of panty. If parents have not used panties-shaped diapers before, a lot of questions may arise when choosing them.
Most of the major toddler diaper manufacturers produce so-called diaper pants. They are intended for babies at least 4-5 months old - they can be worn like regular underwear. Compared to simple diapers, the panties are softer and thinner.
How to choose diaper panties
Which type of diapers to choose depends only on the parents. Diapers can differ in additional functions - for example, they can have a microporous polymer that improves air circulation at the skin's surface. Also, an aloe cream can be included in the layer adjacent to the skin, and the absorbent can have a special structure that improves absorption. Panties-diapers are convenient to use when teaching the baby to the potty - they can be removed and put on independently, without mother's help. Some of the manufacturers offer such panties that absorb moisture with a slight delay - the child has time to realize that the panties are wet.
There are also special diaper panties for bathing. It is convenient to use them in closed reservoirs, in swimming pools, for example. Such panties are designed to protect the skin and genitals of the child from the adverse effects of bacteria and reagents that are part of the water, and thus are protected from "children's surprises". The outer layer of these diapers does not allow moisture to pass through, they do not swell in water. It is important to remember that such panties should not be worn outside the pond for a long time.
What to look for when choosing diapers
Baby diaper panties are chosen based on size, price and style. The packages have numbers - for example, 3-6 kg or 9-18 kg. The numbers indicate the weight of the child for which the particular model is designed. But this indicator is still conditional - the nutritional status of a child, like growth, can vary. It is possible that diapers, which are designed for a weight of 4-9 kg, will be good for a thin baby weighing 10 kg. This is determined only after fitting.
The price of panties is different because the amount of absorbent they contain is completely different. And its quality can hardly be called the same. The effectiveness of a diaper is determined by this very factor. The better the absorbent, the better the absorption, the more comfort for the baby.
Diaper panties are also chosen depending on the gender of the child. Absorbent panties for boys and girls are not at all cut, as some believe. Their difference is in the distribution of the absorbent: in models for girls, it is located in the middle, for boys, it is shifted towards the stomach. There are also universal models on the market, where the absorbent is evenly distributed.
