How to choose newborn diapers? Which brand of newborn diapers is good?

New mothers always want to give their children the best. When choosing diapers, they also want to make their babies more comfortable and considerate. So how to choose diapers for newborns? What brand of diapers for newborns is good? You will know after reading the following~

How to choose diapers

1. Material. A good diaper should be light and soft, with soft edges that will not irritate or scratch the skin.

2. Water absorption: When the urine is wet, the pad can absorb the urine and remain dry when in contact with the skin.

3. Three-dimensional guard. Nowadays, diapers have three-dimensional guards to prevent leakage. When choosing diapers, you should check whether the elastic band used in the three-dimensional guard is thin enough and elastic enough, otherwise it will make the baby's skin red and may cause urine leakage.

4. Elastic waist. In addition to the material, fit is also a very important consideration. Parents must choose the right size according to the size of the baby's butt. Adding an elastic waist will make the diaper fit closer to the baby and prevent leakage from the back.

5. Tape. It should be sticky and can be pasted repeatedly. Also, the tearing sound should not be too loud to avoid waking up the sleeping baby. It should not be too hard, otherwise it will easily scratch the baby.

What brand of diapers is good?

Kao

Kao is really the most popular diaper purchased by many mothers. It may be the most famous one from Japan! However, except for the genuine Kao purchased from Ito-Yokado, the Kao diapers in other maternity and baby stores are basically parallel imports. (Taiwan Kao is slightly cheaper than Japan Kao, but more cost-effective than Huggies.)

User experience: The quality of Japanese Kao is beyond doubt, and it is recognized as good. The softness and breathability are the best among all diapers, and it does not leak urine. Compared with Japanese Daiwang, the breathability is just as good, but it is softer, which may be the reason why it is more expensive. This one is also suitable for use at night and for babies with diaper rash. Good breathability does not easily cause diaper rash.

Dawang (GOO.N)

Since I worked as a buyer in a maternity and baby store, I asked the distributor for two boxes of Dawang diapers (one box of NB size and one box of S size) and some scattered Huggies trial packs before my baby was born. These basically met the baby's usage for half a month.

User experience: After using it, my baby felt that the absorption of urine and feces was quite good, and my baby did not have any symptoms of red bottom. Dawang has an agent in China and can ensure the authenticity of the product, but Dawang is much thinner than Kao.

Japan Unicharm (moony)

The feel is slightly inferior to Da Wang’s diapers, but it is also produced in Japan and is relatively soft. However, compared with Da Wang’s diapers, it feels a bit small. However, for newborn babies, this size is enough.

User experience: My baby felt that the Dawang diaper was a bit too big, so I chose this one. Now my baby has started using the second pack, and the baby has not had any symptoms of red buttocks during the whole process. The absorption capacity of urine is also super strong. Every time the baby urinates, the diaper is very heavy. My husband's eldest sister's baby also uses this brand of diapers, and the response is also good.

Mommy Baby

Mommy and Baby Absorbent and Dry: The price is really cheap, but you get what you pay for. It is really not easy to use. This waist patch has basically no elasticity and it is easy to leak urine. The waist patch is very rough. I can only change it frequently during the day. I will just use up the pack I bought and I will not consider buying it again.

Mami Baby Instant Absorption and Dryness: This diaper is a very cost-effective one. The diaper does not make you fat after absorbing urine, and the surface is relatively dry and the waist sticker is also good. Mami Baby's diapers are generally wider, that is, the wide crotch design. Wide crotch diapers are more suitable for babies with less activity. If the baby is older and crawls and walks more, narrow crotch diapers are more comfortable. But it is only cheap and cost-effective. The breathability is not the best, but it is still very useful for babies who are not prone to diaper rash.

To sum up, I feel that Mami Baby's Instant Dry is a diaper with good cost-effectiveness, but compared with the previous models, I still hope that mothers will consider it more.

curious

My husband's second sister's baby used Huggies for a while, and the feedback she gave me was really bad!

User experience: After checking online, I found that most mothers think that Huggies is the diaper with the worst value for money. The price is similar to that of Daiwang and Kao, but the quality is much worse.

Pampers

Green Pampers (Pampers Ultra Thin Dry): The new Green Pampers is also very cost-effective. The best thing is the elastic side waist. It is very convenient to wear, very comfortable, and not easy to leak urine. The waist elasticity and comfort of this diaper are the best among all diapers, better than Dawang and Kao. The surface is relatively dry after absorbing urine. The breathability is not the best, but it is no problem for babies who are not prone to diaper rash. It is a narrow crotch design, which is very suitable for babies after five or six months who start to move more. The disadvantage of this model is that it is easy to gain weight after absorbing urine, and it will become very big if you urinate too much. In addition, this model does not have a wetness indicator, but I think the wetness indicator is not very useful. I usually pinch the diaper to see if it is relatively large before changing it, and I will not change it as soon as the urine indicator changes color. Comprehensively speaking, it is very cost-effective and very suitable for daytime use.

White Pampers (Pampers Extra Soft Cotton): I don’t think this one is very cost-effective. It is softer than the Green Pampers, and slightly more breathable, with urine indicator, but it doesn’t have the elastic side waist that I like very much. Plus, the price is a bit high, so I don’t think it has anything special about it. It’s not as soft and breathable as the Dawang and Kao, and the waist elasticity is not as good as the Green Pampers. The price doesn’t have any advantage either, but for babies who are prone to diaper rash, this one is still very good for daytime use.

Tips for choosing summer diapers

1. Antibacterial

When choosing diapers in summer, in addition to paying attention to the softness of the surface, you should also pay attention to whether the surface of the diaper has an antibacterial effect. The surface of diapers is generally made of very thin non-woven fabrics, and high-quality diapers generally add certain skin care ingredients to the surface, such as aloe vera, to inhibit bacteria and protect baby's skin.

2. Dry

In the testing standards for diapers, there is an indicator called "slippage", which reflects the liquid affinity of the product surface. A small slippage indicates that the liquid can penetrate into the absorption layer quickly, thus ensuring that the product can absorb the liquid quickly and keep the skin dry. The surface layer and diversion layer of a good diaper often adopt a water-locking design, so that the surface layer still feels relatively fresh after urination, and it is not sticky and there is no problem of fluff shedding.

3. Flexibility

The waist design of a good diaper should be elastic enough to fit the baby's body curve. Babies sweat more in summer, and a loose waistline will rub against the baby's skin, which will damage the baby's skin even if the surface is soft.

4. Comfort

The tailoring should be comfortable. The close-fitting design of the diaper should be reflected in the crotch. In order to increase the water absorption capacity, some diapers tend to have a wider crotch. When the baby wears it, there will be more friction between the inner thigh and the outer layer of the diaper, which will also cause certain damage to the skin.

5. Softness

Although the Velcro used in diapers now avoids the troubles and safety hazards of using pins in the past, the material used in the waist stickers can easily scratch the baby's skin, especially in summer, which is more likely to cause infection. Therefore, the particles of the waist stickers of good diapers should feel delicate and soft, and not easy to scratch the skin.

It is also worth noting that diapers are relatively clean sanitary products, but they are not sterile products. Children are wrapped in diapers for a long time, and diapers are not breathable. If they are not changed frequently, it is easy to cause infection problems.

Especially in summer, parents should not rely too much on diapers. They can use diapers and wet diapers alternately to allow the child's private parts to breathe frequently and keep dry, and then change them after the baby's butt is completely dry.
