Surprisingly, diapers were included in the top 30 inventions that radically changed a person's life at the beginning of the 21st century. So what is the best diaper? To help young mothers in their choice, excluding ineffective panties, this rating was developed. The rating includes various models for newborns, and children aged 3 months to 5 years. In general, in the rating, preference is given rather than to a specific model, but to the manufacturer. The rating is filtered by descending type (from worst to best). So, TOP 10 diapers:

Elastic band- the belt is able to expand and is attached in several ways to sit snugly at the waist and not squeeze the baby's stomach. Mooney were voted the best manufacturer of baby panties after laboratory research TV show "Test purchase".

Disposable diapers or "pampers" (as they are often called in our country) since their invention have gained wide popularity and distribution due to their absorbent properties and ease of use. The choice of modern diapers is amazing. How to choose a safe and reliable diaper that is ideal for your baby?
When choosing a diaper, it is difficult to rely on the recommendations of friends and acquaintances, since this is a personal hygiene product. Your baby may not fit a diaper that fits your friend's baby perfectly. And this means that you can choose a diaper only by trial and error.

1. Buy diapers only proven and well-established manufacturers, because their goods pass all necessary research on safety, quality and efficiency.

2. When buying a diaper for the first time, take packaging with the least number of diapers in a pack. This will save you from unnecessary expenses if the diaper is too small or causes allergic reactions at the baby.

3. Buying a diaper check the date of manufacture and expiration date. An expired diaper loses its properties. Check package integrity- it must not be violated. Storage conditions are also very important: diapers should not be stored in places where humidity and temperature change frequently. Store diapers in a dry and cool place. Do not store diapers in the bathroom or in the kitchen. For the same reason, never buy diapers individually “for trial” - it is not known under what conditions the diaper was stored and with what hands it was touched.

4. Select suitable size diaper, focusing not on the age of the child, but on his weight. Most diapers well-known manufacturers are subdivided along these lines. Each diaper model is available in several sizes. The size ranges of most diaper manufacturers roughly correspond to each other and look something like this:

diapers for newborns are designed for a weight of 0-5 kg;
mini size - 3-8 kg;
midi size - 5-11 kg;
maxi size - 9-18 kg;
maxi plus size - 10-20 kg;
extra large size - 15-25 kg.

The weight limits indicated by the manufacturers on the packaging are very approximate. Babies of the same weight can vary greatly in the volume of the tummy and priests. For example, if your baby weighs 3.5 kg, the size 2-5 kg may suit him, and the size 3-7 kg. If the baby is well-fed, then it is better to take larger size if thin, - smaller. If you are still in doubt about which size to choose, follow the principle: if the child's weight approaches the upper limit of the weight indicated on the package, it is better to take a diaper from the next "weight" category. In any case, it is better for boys to take a larger size. In this case, the diaper will definitely not rub or squeeze. delicate skin child.

How should a diaper fit?

The diaper should fit tightly enough to the baby's body. If the diaper lags behind the baby's skin in some places, then you have chosen the wrong size, and, most likely, it will not perform its functions successfully. Also, you need to make sure that the baby is not cramped in the diaper. The diaper should not squeeze the baby's skin, and after removing it, the baby's butt should remain dry, there should be no traces of the diaper on the baby's skin, and even more so diaper rash, redness or rashes.

If, after removing the diaper, you find redness or deep marks from the rubber bands on the baby's skin, hold the baby without a diaper until everything passes. And next time use a diaper size larger. If the problem occurs again, change the diaper brand. The decisive factor in choosing a diaper should always be the reaction of the baby's skin to the diaper..

5. Also pay attention to composition of the filler in the diaper.Inner layer of diapers may consist of cellulose or special gelling material. Diapers filled with a gel-forming material are better at absorbing and retaining moisture, but they are also more expensive.

6. Another important property of a diaper to consider when choosing one is the ability of the outer layer of the diaper to pass air. Diapers containing polyethylene in the outer layer reliably retain moisture inside the diaper, but they also do not allow air to pass through, which prevents the baby's skin from breathing normally. Don't buy these diapers. IN breathable diapers instead of polyethylene, a special film is used, in which there are many micro-holes that freely pass air in both directions, but at the same time retain moisture. The principle of operation is based on the difference in the sizes of water and air molecules. Such a film is used over the entire surface of the diaper, including its side parts. Therefore, even when the gel-forming material is converted into a gel-like mass under the influence of moisture, which clogs the micropores, the side parts of the diaper continue to breathe, allowing free circulation of air inside the diaper. "Breathable" diapers are more expensive, but the likelihood of diaper rash on the baby's skin is less.

7. To fix the diaper on the body of the baby, the diapers are equipped with special fasteners and elastic bands that provide a snug fit and allow the baby to move freely. Most diapers use special Velcro as fasteners. When choosing a diaper, pay attention to Velcro to be reusable. They should not peel off when in contact with water, baby oil, powders, etc. This is important because despite the fact that diapers are disposable, sometimes it becomes necessary to unfasten them, for example, at a doctor's appointment in a clinic.

8. Choosing a diaper be guided by the principle of the optimal combination of "price-quality". Even the same manufacturer may have several models of diapers that differ in quality and, accordingly, in price. More expensive models have a better absorbent layer: they absorb better and stay dry longer. Expensive diapers are made from softer, more comfortable materials and tend to be smaller. Try diapers in different price ranges, and if your baby does not get diaper rash, redness and chafing, you can choose a more economical brand and model. If the baby's skin is prone to allergic reactions, it is better to stay on more expensive models, because they have more natural materials. Once you have found the best diaper for your baby, buy the same model, changing sizes as your baby grows. Do not experiment on the baby's skin.

9. Varieties of diapers. In addition to traditional diapers, most major manufacturers offer the so-called diaper panties. They are designed for older children (from 4-5 months) and are put on like regular underwear. As a rule, they are softer and thinner than regular diapers. After use, they either tear or unzip at the side (depending on the model) for easier removal. Which type of diaper to choose depends on you, because. they differ only in the way they are worn. Panties-diapers are often used to teach the child to the potty, because. they can be quickly removed not only by the mother, but also by the baby himself.

In addition, some manufacturers offer special panty diapers designed for potty training. They differ in that they absorb moisture with some delay, which gives the child the opportunity to realize that he is wet.

It is worth mentioning here that in addition to the above types of panties, some manufacturers have swim diaper panties. They are especially relevant in closed water bodies, including pools. They protect the skin and genitals of the baby from the adverse effects of the reagents and bacteria that make up the water, and those around them from children's surprises. They do not swell in water, because. their outer layer is waterproof. It is important to remember that these panties are not intended for long-term wear out of the water!

10. Comfortable little things. Some diapers are quite comfortable. When choosing a diaper, think about whether it will be important and useful for you.

For example, some diapers have clasps with rounded ends which reduce the risk of chafing.

Many modern diapers have diaper full indicator. When he changes his condition, you will be able to know in time that the diaper is wet without unfastening it.

Some diapers are soaked special formulations with plant extracts or contain phyto-inserts that take care of the baby's skin and in some cases allow you to avoid the use of special barrier creams, usually applied under the diaper. But on the other hand, such compounds can cause allergic reactions in some babies. Therefore, the choice of such diapers should be approached carefully.

Most diapers decorated with various patterns featuring your favorite cartoon characters. Older kids usually like them very much. It is worth paying attention to the presence of such decorations.

In diapers for newborns, sometimes they make a special navel cutout, which does not irritate delicate skin and allows it to heal faster. However, you can open the navel in any diaper by simply turning its front edge. Whether it is worth overpaying for this function of the diaper is up to you.

Another device for newborns is the presence special pocket which is specially designed for liquid stool newborn.

Unfortunately, disposable diapers well-known brands were often counterfeited. When buying a diaper, make sure the seller has quality certificate for this product. An honest seller will agree to provide it without any problems. If the seller refuses to provide documents for the goods, it is better to buy diapers elsewhere.
Before putting a diaper on your baby, make sure that the diaper cover is soft to the touch, like a delicate fabric. The diaper should have elastic bands. wide belt and Velcro closures for a snug, comfortable fit. After using the diaper, pay attention to the absorbent layer: it should not stray and roll into a lump.
If it is very hot outside or at home, try to keep the baby as much as possible without diapers.
Despite the fact that all the materials from which diapers are made are hypoallergenic and safe, care must be taken to ensure that dry absorbent granules or gel formed after use do not get on the skin or in the mouth of the child. Gel particles can seep through the inner layer of the diaper when it is full. When ingested, the gel in combination with secretions can cause intestinal upset and even vomiting. That's why always change the diaper on time and never let the baby play with it!
Never reuse a diaper! Even if the baby "slightly" wet the diaper, it cannot be dried and reused. The process of converting the granules of the absorbent layer into a gel-like mass is irreversible. The diaper simply will not absorb moisture and can harm the baby.
After use, the diaper should be folded, fastened and thrown into the trash can or special diaper storage. Never throw a diaper down the drain!
You should not store diapers "for growth", because. they too have their own expiration date. After its expiration, the diaper may cease to perform its functions and become dangerous for the child. Mom's corner

Virtually none modern mom can't imagine caring for a baby without disposable diapers. However, there are still those who try to do without them because of various stereotypes and myths. Are diapers bad for newborns? Is it better to use disposable or reusable? Which brands should be preferred?

Myths about diapers

1. The skin of the child "does not breathe" when using disposable diapers

This is the most common myth about "pampers". In fact, this assertion has absolutely no basis. Modern high-quality diapers are made from special breathable materials. The skin of the child is constantly provided with access to oxygen. But air baths when a child is completely naked for a while, it doesn't matter necessary element daily care.

2. Ordinary cotton diapers are more useful than modern diapers

This is fundamentally wrong. When wet, the diaper stays wet and the moisture comes into contact with the skin, causing diaper rash. If the mother hesitated and did not swaddle the baby in time, then the baby's skin will probably turn red and will need additional manipulations in the form of lubrication with ointment or cream. It is necessary to change diapers once an hour or more often, while the diaper, thanks to the absorbent layer, remains completely dry for up to 4-5 hours.

3. Disposable diapers are bad for boys

Many mothers are afraid that if their son wears diapers too often, then the “greenhouse effect” that they create can cause overheating of the genitals, fraught with infertility. It is not true! Many studies have been conducted on this topic and it has been absolutely proved that diapers do not cause any “greenhouse effect” and boys are not threatened with infertility.

4. A diaper can make legs crooked.

This is the most ridiculous and baseless myth of all! The curvature of the legs of an infant is exclusively a hereditary factor, and nothing else can affect it, except serious illnesses associated with curvature hip joints or with a pathological deficiency of certain trace elements in the body.

5. Using a disposable diaper can cause urinary infections.

Such diseases can only be caused improper care for a child, irregular and poor hygiene. Timely change of diapers and their correct choice, accuracy in care, regular washing of the child completely excludes the possibility of genitourinary infections.

6. A child who grew up in diapers is difficult to potty train.

This claim is also unsubstantiated. It is not difficult to teach any child to the pot, if at the same time you show patience, perseverance and act gently. Of course, some parents find it easier to change diapers than to take care of the baby and teach him new skills. It is not necessary to blame innocent diapers for anything, you just need to devote due time to raising your child.

Types of diapers

Apart from design, all modern diapers fall into three categories:

disposable classic;
disposable panty diapers;
reusable.

First of all, when choosing diapers, you need to decide which ones you need. Finding any option in a children's store is not difficult, but caring for a baby when using disposable or reusable diapers will be different.

Disposable classic diapers are suitable for babies from the first day of life up to 2 years, if necessary, older. They are made in the form of panties made of non-woven material, which have two Velcro fasteners on the sides.

Also, long-term decomposition of diapers causes harm to the environment - it takes 250-500 years.
Substances that are part of some brands can cause allergies in a child.
If there is dermatitis or eczema, then it is better to use reusable diapers or diapers.

Disposable panty diapers differ from the previous version only in that they do not have fasteners, they need to be put on through the legs, like a regular baby diaper. underwear. They are more convenient to use from the age when the baby began to actively move - crawl and walk.

How to choose diapers

When buying a pack of disposable diapers, you need to pay attention to a few nuances.

Gender of the child

If we are talking about disposable diapers, then today manufacturers produce them in several versions:

universal;
for boys (the absorbent layer is reinforced at the front);
for girls (the absorbent layer is reinforced in the middle).

Information for whom exactly the sex is intended for products is always indicated on the packaging.

Baby weight

Also, the choice depends on the weight of the child. This is the most important setting. Before you go to the store for the next package, you must definitely find out exact weight baby. All diapers are marked with special numbers on the packaging. The higher the number on the pack, the older child for which these diapers are made. Under the figure is the weight of the baby for whom these diapers will fit. These values may differ for each brand, so you need to look carefully.

For newborns, a separate category of diapers is sold, it is called "New born". It is better to buy such diapers in the maternity hospital. It is not worth buying a lot, as children grow up quickly. A week later, you may need a product marked "2".

When buying reusable diapers, you also need to pay attention to the labels. The size of this version of diapers is indicated in letter values - A, B, C. Each letter also corresponds to the weight of the child in kilograms. The values are different for different brands, you need to look carefully. As a rule, A is diapers that are bought for newborns, and C is the size for grown-up babies from 1.5 years and older.

Also on sale you can find universal options, which, having bought once, can be used from birth to 2 years.

The height and body of the child

Sometimes the weight of the baby fits the category of diapers, but they are too small or too big. This can happen because the baby is too tall for his age or, conversely, has a petite physique. You should definitely pay attention to this and buy baby diapers one size larger or smaller. Unfortunately, for the first time this can only be determined empirically, focusing primarily on the weight of the baby.

How to properly wear a diaper

Putting a diaper on your baby correctly is very important! This will eliminate a lot of troubles, namely, the baby’s urine will not leak and will not stain clothes or sheets in the crib, the baby will not be able to accidentally “lose” the diaper while moving, the baby’s tummy will not be transferred by the belt, and so on.

When putting on a diaper, you need to follow a few simple rules:

The size of the diaper should correspond to the weight and age of the child.
If the newborn has not yet healed the navel, then it is necessary to provide oxygen to the wound. The diaper should be fastened under the navel. Today on sale you can find special models that have recesses or anatomical pads for the navel.
The clasp is not too tight, so that the baby's tummy is comfortable.
If necessary, the baby's skin under the diaper is processed special cosmetics- powder, baby cream, oil. With diaper rash, pharmacological healing ointments or creams will be needed.
Be sure to check the rubber bands around the legs and straighten them out if they are wrapped. Then the urine will not leak.

What brand of diapers do you prefer?

If it's about reusable diapers, then here you can completely rely on intuition and choose any option you like. The quality of such diapers for different brands is about the same. The comfort of the child depends entirely on their timely replacement. The most high-quality and popular brands today are Haute Pockets, Blueberry, Coolababy.

Rating of the best brands of disposable diapers

Choosing good disposable diapers is quite difficult. The rating below is based on experts' assessments, as well as the popularity of the brand among consumers.

1st place - Merries (Meries)

These are the most popular Japanese diapers today. Among the representatives of Japanese products on the shelves you can also find the brands Goon (Goon) and Moony (Moon), but it was Merries that won the first place in terms of quality. They are characterized by instant moisture absorption and long-term dryness. The surface of the diaper is very soft, delicate in relation to the delicate skin of the baby.

Among the shortcomings of the Merries brand, one can only note the fact that only large packs are on sale. This is not always convenient, for example, on the road.

2nd place - Pampers (Pampers)

The very first disposable diapers that appeared in our country, and rightfully one of the best. The line has several series. The most high-quality and suitable for newborn babies is Pampers Premium Care. Diapers of this series have a soft inner surface, perfectly absorb moisture and remain completely dry for a long time.

Unfortunately, inexpensive diapers of this brand (Sleep & Play series) cannot boast of impeccable quality, and impregnation with chamomile extract can cause allergies. Therefore, it is better to turn to the more reliable Pampers Premium Care and Pampers Active baby-dry series, the quality of which is impeccable.

3rd place - Haggies (Haggis)

The brand is distinguished by a wide variety of series, the highest quality of which is Haggies Elite Soft. Diapers of this series are ideal for both newborn babies and older children. Marvelous soft surface The diaper will keep your baby comfortable and the instant absorption will prevent diaper rash.

Also among Haggis diapers you can choose specialized options for girls and boys, the most comfortable and safe diapers for sleeping (DryNites series) and panty diapers for children who move a lot.

4th place - Goon (Gong)

The Japanese brand has won the love of many Russians, thanks to its good quality. They can not be called cheap, but the price in this case justified. Absolute dryness for several hours and safe eco-friendly materials, special impregnation with vitamin E - this is what every mom wants to find in diapers.
