It is becoming increasingly easier for modern mothers to care for their babies. Manufacturers offer a variety of convenient care products. One of them is panty diapers. Many mothers have already noticed the benefits of this type of diaper, and mothers of very young children are beginning to wonder at what age they can be worn.
Advantages and disadvantages of panty diapers
First, let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of this type, both general and for different ages.
The benefits are as follows:
- They fit tightly, preventing leakage. Typically, such models are equipped with an elastic waist, as well as additional elastic around the legs, which increases protection against leaks.
- Easy to put on and take off. Due to their shape, they are worn in the same way as regular briefs, which makes them comfortable.
- Thin sides. This makes it easy to tear them apart and remove them like a regular diaper. But at the same time, these sides are not so thin that the baby would tear them apart on his own.
- They adhere tightly to the body and do not slip. This is especially beneficial when the baby begins to move actively.
Among the disadvantages, one can highlight the price, which is higher than that of ordinary diapers. It is also worth remembering to use them correctly.
Important! Any type of diapers needs to be changed quite often (depending on age), and also given breaks by removing the diaper for a while.
At what age can a child wear diapers and panties?
As you can see, such diapers have many advantages, and they also have no age restrictions. Manufacturers are offering these models in smaller and smaller sizes.
On a note! In the question of when to switch to panties, focus not on age, but on the weight and volume of the baby.
So, the fundamental factors in this matter are:
- baby size;
- his activity level.
They are made from the same material as regular diapers, so they will not cause any irritation, but only if used correctly and purchased quality products. They also do not press or rub if you choose the right size.
Can they be worn by a newborn?
We have determined that there is no specific recommended age, however, many mothers still have doubts about newborns.
So, a newborn can wear panties, but only if you find the right size.
Important! The main thing is that the diaper does not press and is not too big.
But in this case, the question arises about the advisability of the purchase. Newborn babies are inactive and spend most of their time sleeping, so in order to save money, it would be wiser to purchase regular diapers. But the choice is still yours.
Optimal age to wear panty diapers
You can switch to panties at any age.But through experience, mothers determined the optimal moment for the transition.
It is better to start using panties at the age when the baby begins to actively move: spin around in his sleep and crawl. During this period they will come in handy.
