7 tips for choosing diapers correctly

1. Strong and fast urine absorption. Diapers contain polymer absorbents, and the absorption rate can reach 100 to 1000 times of their own, and will not be squeezed out again. The earliest diapers were mainly fluff pulp, so they were very thick. After adding polymer absorbents, diapers became thinner and more comfortable. So the absorption capacity does not depend on thickness, or even the opposite. High water absorption can reduce the number of changes and will not disturb the sleeping baby; it can also reduce the contact time between urine and skin and reduce the probability of diaper rash.

2. Good breathability and not stuffy. If the diapers used by babies are not breathable, it is easy to cause diaper rash in babies. Diapers with poor breathability will increase the local environmental temperature of the scrotum of male babies, which may affect the testicular development of babies, especially babies over one year old should pay more attention.

3. The surface should be dry and the urine should not seep back or leak out. If the baby's butt is always in contact with the wet surface, it is easy to get diaper rash. Newborn babies lie down for a long time, and the diaper is pressed on the buttocks and waist. The legs and waist should be equipped with leak-proof three-dimensional edges, but they should not be too tight for leak-proof. The material of the diaper surface should also be dry and non-seepage. In addition, it is best to choose a diaper with a four-layer structure, which has an extra layer of absorbent fiber paper, less leakage.

4. Comfortable touch and good quality. Touch is the earliest sensory organ developed by humans. It already exists in the fetus as early as three months old. Like vision and hearing, it affects the development of the baby's potential. The baby's skin has a very keen sense of touch and is more sensitive to adverse stimuli. As long as there is a little discomfort, the baby will feel very uncomfortable. The area of contact between diapers and baby's skin is very large, and they are almost inseparable 24 hours a day. Therefore, you should choose diapers that are ultra-thin, fitted, soft, and made of good material like underwear to provide your baby with a comfortable tactile experience.

5. Skin protection layer. The cause of diaper rash is mainly due to the direct contact of irritants in urine and feces with the skin. At present, there are diapers on the market that have added skin care ingredients, which can directly form a protective layer on the baby's buttocks with body temperature, isolate stimulation, and reduce skin friction, so that the baby has a more comfortable skin touch.

6. Moderate price. At present, there are many brands of diapers sold on the market, and the prices vary. Those with good economic conditions can choose more advanced imported diapers. The quality of domestically produced diapers is relatively reliable, because the manufacturers have large investments and the main raw materials rely on imports, and the price is still not low. Buying diapers with good basic functions, buying in bulk, buying local products, and mixing them are all good ways to reduce costs, but the more guaranteed the quality of the product, the more expensive it is. It is not recommended that mothers blindly

7. The right size for your baby. Diapers of different sizes are quite complete. You can refer to the label on the package when purchasing. The waistline should fit the baby's waist tightly, and the adhesive tape should be attached to the number indication between 1 and 3 on the waist tape. If the adhesive tape is attached to the number indication 3, it means that the size of the diaper is too small. Choose a larger size diaper next time. Check the tightness of the leg elastic band. If it is too tight, it means the size is too small. If it is not attached to the leg, it means the size is too large.
