Gone are the days of flannel diapers, onesies, tight swaddling, and endless washes. And that is great. Now in stores and pharmacy chains there is a huge selection of hygiene products for babies, which make care much easier.
What are diaper panties?
Diapers secured with Velcro and diaper panties come to the aid of young mothers. The last of them begin to be used at a time when the child becomes more active. They They look like ordinary panties, but are equipped with a special absorbent layer in the groin area, consisting of three components.. Each of which performs its own function:
- the outer layer is endowed with the protective property of holding the contents of an overfilled diaper, preventing it from spilling out;
- the second layer consists of an absorbent material that turns the liquid into a gel;
- the third, in contact with the skin, has the task of keeping it dry.
New technologies allow you to create breathable panties, which prevents the inner layer from getting wet. The porous structure improves air circulation. In addition, the skin is kept dry and protected from unpleasant consequences such as diaper rash and dermatitis.
Important! Despite these advantages, it must be replaced every three hours and after defecation.
Differences from regular diapers
Panties have some differences from diapers. The diapers are fixed to the body using side Velcro and the child will not remove them without assistance.. When children develop mobility, it becomes not very convenient to use them and parents begin to use panties. This occurs around 6 months of age and older.
The panties have elastic bands both in the tummy and legs, which reliably protect against leakage. The child, sitting on the potty, can take them off and put them on independently, without the help of parents.
A number of advantages and disadvantages allow you to choose the best option. The main parameters when purchasing and using should be:
- reliable protection against leakage;
- presence of hypoallergenic properties;
- soft coating;
- dense elastic band, at the same time elastic and comfortable;
- filling indicator;
- comfortable fit;
- non-clumping filler;
- material that does not cause diaper rash;
- affordable price.
Some mothers already have experience in using them and prefer their favorite brands. Such as Pampers, Huggies, Libero, GLORYES, Merries. Recently, reusable panties with additional liners have become quite popular. At the same time, they have a rather bright, cheerful design, which is a big plus.
How to put on such panties correctly?
- First, place the baby on his back.
- Taking them out of the package, insert your hands into the holes from the bottom, spreading them out widthwise.
- Place it carefully on your baby's legs and pull it up to waist level. Boys need to adjust their genitals to prevent squeezing and leakage of urine.
- Some models have adhesive tape on the back. There is no need to delete it. It is designed to hold rolled up used panties and throw them in the trash.
To remove them, simply break the side fastenings, slightly lift the child up by the legs and pull out the diaper from under him.. Dry your buttocks with a napkin and let the skin “breathe” a little. Then you can put on another diaper. If redness appears in the form of diaper rash, you need to wash and lubricate these places with a special cream or diaper oil.
All manufacturers indicate on the packaging of their products the size of the product, as well as the weight and age of the children. To create convenience, it is advisable to adhere to these parameters. Since larger ones will not be able to prevent leakage, and smaller ones will squeeze and rub the skin.
