The most expensive diapers for children. Finding the perfect diaper for your baby

The first thing you should ask when choosing is the size of the diaper.. Babies fit the smallest sizes from the product line - "0" (the so-called "nulls"), "1" and sometimes "2".

By the first birthday, the baby grows up, and with it, the sizes of diapers “grow”. Consider the dimensional grid of popular diaper sizes in more detail:

Marking with numbers indicates the weight category for which the product is suitable. Everything is simple - how much does the child weigh? If the newborn was born with a weight of 3.5 kg - your choice is "one" or "two".

Which is better to take - smaller or larger?

Reference! Each brand produces diapers with "overlapping" sizes, so that parents can choose the product for the size and build of the child.

Is the child's weight closer to the upper limit of the weight category? Buy a larger package, especially if you are the proud parent of a little boy. A small diaper will sit, as they say, back to back - this is inconvenient, fraught with scuffs and diaper rash, because there must be an air gap between the body and the product to avoid overheating.

How to choose?

  1. The same sizes from different manufacturers may differ structurally, which is why they will “sit” differently on the same child. Choose your option.
  2. Use diapers of the right category - too big and too small are undesirable.

    Important! A small diaper will rub and provoke a "greenhouse effect", a large diaper will interfere, slip and let liquid out.

  3. Diapers come with stretchy gathered sides. Such models are more convenient, because they better wrap around the body and allow you to adjust the density of fixation. Other options will not provide a tight fit - homogeneous products lie wider on top.
  4. Do not rush in the process of trying on - straighten all the folds, edges, rubber bands and cuffs. Only in this way will you determine whether the diaper of the selected model suits your offspring, whether the size is chosen correctly.

Type

There are disposable and reusable products on the market. Let's take a closer look.

Disposable diapers

Comfortable and lightweight products are more popular than reusable alternatives. How are they better:

reusable

A good choice for mothers who prefer natural and environmentally friendly, are not afraid of extra work and worry that disposable diapers can damage the health of the growing crumbs.

They look like bright fabric panties, which are fastened with buttons or Velcro. In addition to the diaper, you need absorbent liners.

What are the advantages:

  • Eco-friendly. They do not pollute the environment, because they are bought once in a set and are used before the baby is put on the potty.
  • Hypoallergenic. The inner part of the panties and absorbent liners are made of natural materials that do not cause allergies, unlike synthetic filler or impregnation of disposable diapers.
  • Economical. For the entire period, you will need 4-5 panties and about 30-35 liners. Disproportionately less compared to the number of disposable products.
  • Comfortable. The size of panties is universal, fullness is regulated by fasteners.
  • Physiological. The child immediately feels what exactly happened at the time of urination or defecation. Subsequently, it is easier for him to understand what to do with the pot so as not to remain wet.

Material

Durable panties

The absorbent layer of reusable panties is a replaceable liner, which is made from a wide variety of natural absorbent materials:

  • cotton, gauze, flannel (dry quickly, absorb well);
  • bamboo (absorbs literally dry);
  • microfiber (soft, gentle to the skin);
  • combined materials (combine the advantages of two different fabrics);
  • merino wool;
  • silk (very gentle, suitable for sensitive skin).

For one time

Disposable diapers are a complex combination of materials:

Smell

Disposable diapers are scented with some fragrance, which is present between the absorbent layer and the outer surface of the product. As a rule, a pleasant aroma is imparted due to the combination of lemon and orange aromatic oils.

Important! Some babies are sensitive to fragrances in diapers.

Softness

Since sodium polyacrylate, which is filled with modern disposable diapers, is a soft material (outwardly, these are transparent rounded granules), almost all such products have an equally soft and pliable surface that does not injure the skin of the crumbs. It is more important to guess with the size - well-fitting diaper does not cause any discomfort to the baby. Of course, the timely change of the product is also important.

Reusable diapers are also made of physiological natural material - the skin breathes and is not damaged. As for the inserts, then you need to select individually what is suitable for a particular child. The most delicate liners are made of silk.

What else to pay attention to?

Price doesn't always matter. Manufacturers try to offer various subtleties and improvements, but, in fact, the structure and materials used are the same. Do not chase the high cost, choose the appropriate option, watching the child and the operation of the product.

  1. Is the baby allergic? Buy diapers without patterns, fragrances, impregnations (for example, aloe vera). Look for nondescript simple models - chlorine is used to give products a sparkling white.
  2. Until the baby walks, diapers have a similar structure for both sexes. The difference becomes noticeable when the baby has gone. Since the genitals of girls and boys are arranged and located differently, the liquid is distributed differently over the absorbent material - it already makes sense to try specialized models.

    In diapers "for boys" and "for girls" the absorbent layer is reinforced in certain areas of the product according to the gender of the child. This makes the diaper more physiological - the absorbent is used more optimally.

Properly selected diapers will help a young family enjoy communication with each other longer, without forcing them to spend a lot of time on household issues. Good diapers will only benefit. Choose wisely!

Produce various models. However, it is necessary to choose those products in which a through hole is provided. Indeed, after cutting off the umbilical cord, the wound heals for a long time and it is important to ensure that it does not decay during this time. If there are no such diapers in the store, then you can purchase those products that have a thin belt, but without a special filler. It can be neatly and fixed to the baby.

Decide on the size and material

When choosing diapers for babies, you should pay attention to their labeling. They must contain one of the following inscriptions:
- Newborn;
- New Bobby;
- Supreme;
- Convertibles;
- Baby Dry;
- MINI;
- Total Care;
- Ultratrim.

All diapers with these markings are designed for and will fit perfectly. After all, if you take such products for a baby that are not in size, they will leak and rub the skin.

You also need to carefully examine the diapers for the presence of an elastic back and special Velcro fasteners. Around the legs there should be not too tight ruffles that will protect the baby from leaks.

The material from which the diaper is made must be breathable and environmentally friendly. Well, if it contains cotton, then it will be possible to exclude the occurrence of diaper rash in the baby. You should not buy those products that come with a layer of scented lotion or any special moisturizing impregnation, as this can cause allergies.

Be sure to carefully inspect the packaging of diapers. It must be perfect and without punctures or other defects. After all, such products require special storage in a holistic package. The penetration of air and moisture leads to their deterioration. Also look at the expiration date of such products. It should not exceed more than two years.

It's great if the selected diapers have filling indicators. After all, then it will be much easier for the mother to monitor the dryness of the child. At the same time, please note that a newborn can wear a maximum of one diaper for 2 hours. But before putting on a new product, do not forget to take an air bath, which will allow delicate skin to rest and prevent its irritation.

What are the best diapers for newborns? The council of parents does not come to a consensus, because. not only experience and personal preferences are different for everyone, but also the reactions of the most important experts - the kids themselves.

Unfortunately, reddening of the skin and rashes on it is a common phenomenon, and it is impossible to identify the most suitable diapers for your child except by experience.

Specialists of the Daughters-Sonochki online store have compiled a rating of the most popular diapers for newborns and prepared a detailed description of each item, as well as offer recommendations for choosing the right diapers for your baby.

The Dry mark indicates that these diapers are equipped with a super absorbent layer and guarantee up to 12 hours of undisturbed and comfortable sleep. Larger babies who are expected to be born weighing over 3kg should consider purchasing the next size diaper (#2), Pampers New Baby-Dry Mini for babies weighing 3 to 6kg.

Merries: premium softness


Merries Japanese diapers from Kao Corporation have a loyal circle of admirers among parents. Despite the relatively high cost, buyers believe that it is more than justified by the comfort of the baby. The composition of the diapers includes natural cotton, and these diapers are extremely soft and pleasant to the touch.

The main disadvantage of Merries for newborns is the lack of an elastic band on the back, which leads to slipping of diapers and their leakage, but this problem is more relevant for girls than for boys, as well as for thin babies. Merries are also considered to run a little small; this is true when used for chubby babies.

Above average cost narrows the circle of buyers of diapers of this brand. These are the most expensive Japanese diapers.

Huggies: affordable and convenient


Huggies from Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc. loved by many parents for a very affordable cost and at the same time - a good quality, although the reviews on them are contradictory. Someone buys only the products of this brand, while others, having tried it once, refuse Huggies forever. Reviews for a series for newborns are usually positive.

Huggies diapers are relatively dense on the outside, while the inside is soft material. Distinctive features:

  • Elasticated waistband to prevent leaks and provide a good fit

Dada Premium: high quality and savings in every pack

Polish Dada diapers combine excellent quality and reasonable cost, which, of course, cannot but please parents. They run a little big, so they are advised to take the size in size or the previous size. For newborns, diapers of this brand are suitable in 1 (from 2 to 4 kg) and 2 sizes (from 3 to 6 kg), but given their large size, it is more likely that 1 size is suitable for the baby.

High-quality fit on the legs due to two rubber bands on the cuff.

Features:

  • soft both outside and inside
  • pretty thin
  • good design
  • without smell
  • wide reusable Velcro
  • even distribution of the absorbent layer after wetting

Among the shortcomings - there is no rubber band on the back, so leaks are possible with an overflowing diaper; there is no mesh on the inner surface, unlike many newborn diapers, which prevents contact of the baby's skin with loose stools. But the ultra-affordable price compared to other diapers makes Dada a highly sought-after product.

Moony: the quietest diaper

Libero: range for newborns


Quite common Libero diapers are produced by SCA Hygiene Products Russia. For the smallest, there is a special line for newborns Libero Newborn, presented in three sizes:

They are quite thin and quickly absorb moisture.

Goon: baby comfort


In Japan itself and far beyond its borders, Goon baby diapers of the premium segment from the Japanese company Daio Paper are highly valued. For newborns, Goon NB (up to 5 kg) is most often purchased; for very large babies choose size Goon S (from 4 to 8 kg).

Compared to Merries, Goon diapers are somewhat thicker and denser, but absorb quickly. The inner surface is porous, qualitatively isolates loose stools from the baby's skin. The diaper belt is with number marks, which allows you to always fix the Velcro in the same place without dragging the baby's tummy.

Helen Harper: budget choice

Helen Harper diapers are produced by the Belgian company Ontex International. Decent quality makes these diapers very popular among Daughter-Sonny customers.

This is the only brand in our ranking that produces diapers for premature babies in the smallest sizes. Helen Harper Before New Born diapers are designed for babies born with a weight of 1 to 3 kg, but buyers note that they run small, and children, gaining weight around 1.5-1.8 kg, need a different size diaper, i.e. e. the product does not reach the declared 3 kg.

There are two Helen Harper product lines: Soft&Dry and Air Comfort.

For newborns fit Helen Harper Soft&Dry New born (1 size, 2-5 kg). For bigger babies, you should choose size 2, for 3–6 kg, Helen Harper Soft&Dry Mini.

Less common are Helen Harper Air Comfort diapers. In this line there is no product specifically for newborns, but there is a Mini size, i.e. for children weighing 3 to 6 kg, which can also be used for large babies. The addition of aloe vera extract is an additional contribution to baby skin care.

The difference between the diapers of these lines is small: there are slight differences in thickness and style; the main difference is in the design. But in general, as is the case with most diapers, it is worth trying it yourself and choosing the most optimal diapers for the comfort of the baby and the family budget.

Distinctive features:

  • absorb liquid well
  • Elasticated waistband ensures proper fit
  • quality Velcro
  • good price

Bella Baby Happy: affordable and high quality - is it possible?

Diapers from Bella Baby are called Happy. Option, in all respects close to Helen Harper. Many parents note that despite the rather low cost, Happy is not inferior to many more eminent (and more expensive) counterparts.

So, the advantages of these diapers include:

  • good absorbency
  • conveniently folds up the top front of the diaper
  • no noticeable odor
  • umbilical cutout (on sizes 0 and 1)
  • delicate design
  • democratic cost

Happy Newborn (1 size) is designed for babies weighing from 2 to 5 kg. And only very large babies are advised to immediately jump to size 2 and buy Happy Mini diapers for babies weighing 3-6 kg.

Reusable nappies

They cost much more than disposable ones, but the savings in their use are obvious: 5-6 disposable diapers are purchased, and a pack of inserts is included with them. All components are washed in the washing machine.

Soft, made of natural fabrics, they do not cause any discomfort to children and do not rub delicate children's skin. Often, reusable diapers are the only suitable option for allergic children who develop rashes and irritation on all disposable diapers they have tried. But many parents are inclined to believe that at an early stage, at least up to three months, it is more convenient to still use disposable diapers. Given that the reusable counterpart can "grow", it can easily be set aside for later use.

As a rule, parents do not come to reusable diapers from the birth of a baby, but in the "Nepromokashka" product line there are diaper panties for the smallest: babies weighing from 2 to 5 kg, i.e. - newborns. The Stay dry XS waterproof diaper is exactly what you need for the little ones.

Expert opinion

“The choice of diapers is a purely individual matter. Probably no other purchase causes as much controversy and controversy as diapers. Some enjoy using the very affordable Happy and Helen Harper, others believe that there is nothing better than Pampers, and still others insist on using exclusively Japanese diapers - Goon, Moony or Merries - high-quality, but also very expensive.

conclusions

Any store offers a good selection of diapers for newborns and older children. But which one to give preference to, especially if the parents are just waiting for their first child?

Unfortunately, there is no single solution that suits absolutely everyone. The baby is more likely to use premium diapers like Pampers Premium Care or Merries. Japanese diapers have a good reputation: Moony and Goon. In part, the problem of choice is solved with the help of samplers, which are distributed to mothers in the maternity hospital. Many do not even buy diapers for the maternity hospital and completely manage with a set of samplers, while at the same time deciding on the choice for the near future.

We are pleased to provide our customers with not only a good selection of diapers for every taste, but also advice on their selection.

The most important thing in the life of any person is his health, as well as the health of people dear to him. When a bedridden patient appears in the environment, it is important to surround him with care and attention, to create all the conditions conducive to a speedy recovery. A person who cannot move independently (for example, after serious operations, an accident) needs - he must cope with his natural needs and at the same time be clean and dry.

Today, to solve this delicate problem, they are used in medical institutions and at home.

Important! Few people know, but with the official diapers they should be given out free of charge (at the rate of 3 pieces per day). To receive them, you should take a certificate from your doctor and contact the social security authorities at your place of residence.

What are adult diapers?

Diapers are disposable diapers that have an extra layer to absorb urine and other secretions. For the first time they began to be used for the treatment and rehabilitation of adult patients at the end of the last century, they immediately became widespread in America and European countries.

What diseases are used

Before buying any medical device/care equipment/underwear, the caregiver must obtain the advice of the attending physician. Only a specialist will be able to assess the severity of the patient's condition, prevent complications and designate a primary list of care products.

Adult diapers are used in the following cases:

  • patients with enuresis (urinary incontinence);
  • to maintain hygiene permanently and temporarily immobilized patients;
  • to appear ;
  • in the postoperative period, when a person cannot go to the toilet or use it himself.

How to choose the size?

Today there is a wide range of disposable underwear combinations for adults. Each manufacturer sets its own dimensional grids, and in order to purchase the right product, you must first measure the patient. Using a measuring tape, you should take measurements of the circumference of the hips and waist in different positions (lying, sitting, standing), and select the desired size by the largest value. If the size is not correct, then .

Overview of the main manufacturers

To select the optimal diaper, you need to try several different models. Each manufacturer has its own secrets of production, constantly changing and improving the characteristics of the product. Diapers for bedridden patients differ not only in their properties, but also in price. And most often it turns out that expensive models are not always the most suitable.

Seni

"Seni" (Poland) - the most common diapers for adults. They can be purchased at any pharmacy and large supermarket. Due to the wide size range and several absorption categories, diapers are suitable for use in extremely severe cases (with a high degree of incontinence, at night, for those who take diuretic medications). All series of diapers produced by the manufacturer are made of breathable materials, have sides, elastic bands on the hips and a reliable anatomical belt.

Products for repeated use are equipped with additional fixators - sticky fasteners, with a dot code printed along the entire length. This addition facilitates the care of bedridden people.

One of the main advantages of HARTMANN products is the availability of color indicators. Indicators are blue stripes on the outer layer that gradually disappear as the diaper fills up.

With the right choice, fixation and timely change of a disposable, the patient will be reliably protected from leakage and feel comfortable during sleep and wakefulness.

ABENA

Eco-diapers anatomically shaped "ABENA" (Denmark) are modern, comfortable and high-quality care products for seriously ill patients.

You should also find out where in your locality there is a specialized point of sale, whether they sell by the piece, so that there is always an opportunity to purchase diapers (in case of unforeseen circumstances). If diapers will be used for several months (years), you can order them in bulk.

How to change a diaper for an adult?

To put a diaper on a bedridden patient, you should:

  1. prepare the patient;
  2. remove the used diaper, clean and moisturize the lower abdomen, groin, thighs and lower back with cream.
  3. Put a clean diaper on the patient.
  4. Bedridden patients (those who cannot move independently) need a faster change, and vice versa, until the diaper is finally put on.
  5. Fixation is provided with Velcro fasteners. They should not pinch the legs and stomach, otherwise the blood circulation in the soft tissues will be disturbed, serious complications may appear.
  6. At the end, it is necessary to straighten the protective sides (cuffs).

Important! Even the most expensive, high-quality and roomy diapers must be changed at least 4 times a day, otherwise, the person will be in an uncomfortable position and dampness. A full diaper increases several times in size, and a constantly leaking diaper forms between the patient's legs.lump.

Diapers for newborns have gained popularity among parents for a long time, although a few years ago it was not easy to find this type of product for babies in the supermarket. Today, many large brands produce such lines, and you can find diapers for newborns in pharmacies and supermarkets. How to choose diapers for newborns and what features of these care items for miniature children are described below.

Many manufacturers have special lines of diapers for newborns: from the most famous on the market Pampers, Huggies, Libero to the "Japanese" - such as Moony, Merries and Goon.

Here are a few more brands that make diapers for newborn babies: Helen Harper, Fixies, Genki, MamyPoko, Mepsi, Sun and Moon, Milly Tilly. It is impossible to list all brands - there are a lot of them, and new ones appear regularly, but we will consider the “chips” of several of the most common ones.

Newborn diapers from leading brands

Almost every diaper company has separate products for the smallest consumers. Many organizations cooperate with maternity hospitals, and some of the listed products can already be tried there.

  • Diapers: This manufacturer has two lines, Pampers New Baby-Dry and Pampers Premium Care. Both lines offer two sizes for newborns - 2-5 kg ​​and 3-6 kg. The difference between the products is not only in price. Premium Care justify the high cost with additional options - they are softer, almost odorless, and there is also a special mesh inside these diapers that absorbs not only urine, but also most of the baby's stool.
  • Diapers: Elite Soft diaper line for newborns. Two sizes - 2-5 kg ​​and 3-6 kg. These diapers can also absorb liquid stools with the help of special pads inside - Huggies even patented a technology developed by the company's specialists.
  • Libero diapers: Newborn line. Unlike the previous two manufacturers, there are three size options here: up to 2.5 kg, 2-5 kg ​​and 3-6 kg. There are special channels in the diaper for absorption, and in general, Libero are proud that there is nothing superfluous in their diapers for the little ones - no lotions or impregnations.
  • Helen Harper Baby diapers: New Born line. This Belgian diaper brand is lesser known but appeals to many parents due to its value for money. For newborns, Helen Harper has a size of 2-5 kg, 3-6 kg is also available, but it already belongs to the next category.
  • Goon diapers: Newborn line. Beloved by many, the “Japanese” offer sizes up to 5 kg for newborns, and the deodorizing effect of diapers and their impregnation with vitamin E are called as competitive advantages.
  • Diapers: Newborn line. Size - up to 5 kg. Manufacturers promise that the diaper will be able to absorb a lot of liquid - 200-300 times more than it weighs.
  • Moony diapers: Newborn line. Like the rest of the "Japanese", newborns are considered children weighing up to 5 kg. Moony is one of the softest diapers.

Why do newborns need special diapers?

Compared to slightly older children, newborns are completely helpless. They can't hold their heads up, their navel hasn't healed yet, their skin is very delicate (twice as thin as an adult's!). The baby’s parents still don’t know what he will react to, what can cause allergies, and in general, even experienced moms and dads, who have “behind” the experience of raising more than one baby, in the interval between children manage to forget how tiny and defenseless a new person is born.

The average weight of a newborn baby is from 2.5 to 4.5 kg. They need diapers that are very tiny, but at the same time well absorbent. Parents have to change their child's clothes 7-8 times a day, and in between these times the baby's skin should be dry - otherwise irritation may begin. Older children may signal their inconvenience or simply not notice it, but for newborns this is more difficult. Among other things, the first diapers should be as hypoallergenic as possible so as not to add stress to the baby's body, which first encountered the outside world and additional irritants.

Another tiny but very important detail is that most newborn diapers have a cutout for an unhealed navel. At least the first few days after birth, he will spend with a clothespin on the remainder of the umbilical cord, and then the navel will heal for some more time. It is better if the diaper material does not rub against it at this time, and many manufacturers have provided for this.

In the first weeks, the baby is just adapting to the world. His stomach is very tiny, and he processes food quickly to make room for the next portion - and in the process of this processing, of course, diapers are spent, and in huge quantities. Accordingly, the easier it will be for parents to change the diaper, the more convenient it will be for the newborn, because the more time mom and dad will spend not on dealing with inconvenience, but on getting used to the new status. Simple and comfortable Velcro, elastic bands on the legs so that the diaper does not leak, and you do not have to disturb the baby once again with a change of clothes, stretchy sidewalls that do not move out, even when the child waves his legs - all this is very important at first.

How to choose the first diapers

The most important rule - do not immediately buy a large pack of diapers. All children are different, and there is a high chance that a particular brand may not suit a particular child, even if these diapers are the softest in the world, and the manufacturer claims that there is absolutely nothing to cause allergies in their composition.

It is best to try several different brands and settle on the right one in all respects.

What you should pay attention to when choosing diapers for newborns:

  • The presence of a cutout for the umbilical wound
  • The speed and quality of absorption - the baby's skin under the diaper should not be wet
  • The diaper should fit snugly against the back, tummy and legs of the baby, but not too tight. A diaper that is too loose can leak, and a diaper that is too tight can cause discomfort to the baby.
  • Smell - strongly smelling diapers are more likely to be impregnated with something, and it is not certain that this something will be useful for the baby.
  • The fullness indicator is just convenient, especially when the child has been sleeping for half an hour, and you don’t want to wake him up to check the diaper.
  • Size. With a borderline size (for example, a child weighing 3.2 kg can wear sizes of 2-5 kg ​​and 3-6 kg), it is worth focusing on the child himself. If his height is above average, and, accordingly, he is not very plump, it is better to take smaller diapers, and more for a plump baby.
