What are the principles for choosing diapers?
The progress of science and technology can usually bring us a better life. If you ask Mommy what is the best invention of mankind, they will definitely say-diapers. In the 1960s, the world's first diaper was launched in the United States, which enabled moms to start a new way of parenting. Diapers can not only provide a dry environment for the baby's skin, so that they can enjoy a fuller sleep, but also free moms from tedious and repetitive tasks, so that they have time to work hard and have energy to enjoy life. It is very important to choose the right baby diapers to fit your baby, because babies wear the same diapers every day. Fitted diapers are not only comfortable, but also effective in preventing leakage, allowing them to wear comfortably and move freely. To choose the right size, how do you know what size your baby is wearing, leaking urine, red marks, gaps, or diapers that look like 'bikini' all indicate that the diapers are not fit. Paying attention to the above features and the weight chart on the diaper packaging can help you choose according to your baby's age and stage. If your baby's weight is close to the upper limit of the weight scale, you can consider changing to a new size. In summer, babies drink more water and urinate more frequently. Choosing a diaper with a fast absorption speed can reduce the time that urine contacts the skin. The surface of the diaper is kept dry and urine leakage is less likely to occur. In addition, the material of the absorbent layer of the diaper should also be selected to effectively lock the moisture, so that the urine will not seep back after absorption, so that the baby will not be unable to sleep securely by the wet diaper. In summer, the frequency of changing diapers can be appropriately increased, about once every 4 hours. Good fit also depends on the shape of the diaper. Open a piece of diaper, and if the ribbon cutting of the leg circumference is streamlined design, the baby will be more comfortable and fit when wearing activities, and it is less prone to side leakage. Generally speaking, diapers are composed of three main parts: surface covering layer, absorbent core layer and base fabric 1. The main function of the absorbent core layer is to capture and quickly absorb urine, disperse urine, or pass through capillaries. The function diffuses it into the entire core layer, and finally absorbs and stores urine. At present, the absorbent core of diapers on the domestic market is mainly composed of pure wood pulp (fluff pulp) and super absorbent resin (SAP) in a layered structure. 2. The surface coating layer is close to the baby's body, its main function is to ensure the rapid penetration of urine and effectively prevent back seepage, so that the surface of the diaper stays dry. The diapers on the domestic market are basically non-woven surface layers. Breathable non-woven fabrics can increase the degree of air permeability inside the diapers. Water vapor can circulate outside the diapers to discharge moisture and heat in time, effectively reducing the chance of diaper rash. , Soft and comfortable without irritating the skin. 3. Bottom fabric Many foreign diapers have used non-woven fabrics that feel more comfortable and breathable. The market price is relatively high. The bottom fabric of domestic diapers is still mainly composed of PE plastic film, which has relatively poor air permeability.
