In a house where there is a small child, perhaps the most necessary thing is baby diapers. Over the course of a year or two, they do not lose their relevance, since babies are still written quite often.
Massages, air baths, night sleep crumbs - all these activities require maximum comfort, which is not always possible when using disposable diapers. In this case, a reusable absorbent diaper will be a good helper for parents.
How to protect surfaces from getting wet?
The older generation coped with the problem of wet diapers in a simple way: on the surface lay a rubber pharmacy oilcloth, and on top of it was a simple cloth diaper, which was changed to dry as needed. The disadvantages of this method are obvious:
- the rubber oilcloth is slippery, and when the child turns over, the cloth diaper rolls down, slides off, and as a result the baby lies on the cold oilcloth;
- even covered with a bike diaper, rubber oilcloth noticeably cools the skin;
- endless washing and ironing of cloth diapers took the lion's share of time;
- rubber oilcloth is quite heavy and uncomfortable.
Disposable and reusable diapers, of course, have greatly facilitated the care of moms about babies, but, firstly, they are not suitable for everyone due to a number of circumstances, and secondly, sooner or later they must be abandoned in order to accustom the baby to the potty. In addition, many procedures require that the baby be naked. This is where young mothers come in handy with reusable diapers for children.
Types of reusable diapers
Reusable diapers for children "Nepromokashka" come in two forms: waterproof and absorbent. What is their difference?
Reusable absorbent diaper "Nepromokashka" consists of four layers:
- the top layer consists of cotton, has a slightly terry porous texture, which allows the liquid to be quickly absorbed;
- the second layer is a non-woven fabric, which is an adsorbent that absorbs and retains moisture;
- then a waterproof microporous membrane is laid, its texture allows air to circulate freely, while at the same time being an obstacle to the liquid;
- the bottom layer completes the diaper, it is designed to protect surfaces from moisture.
Waterproof diaper
Another reusable diaper is called waterproof and consists of only two layers:
- top terry layer;
- the bottom is a microporous membrane.
If the absorbent diaper collects and holds the liquid inside it, then the waterproof practically does not absorb, the moisture collects on the surface with a small puddle and is only slightly absorbed by the upper layer. That is, it is, rather, an alternative to rubber pharmacy oilcloth - not cold, compact, does not require multi-layer structures, pleasant to the touch.
Judging from the point of view of the cost of the product, a waterproof diaper is a much more profitable option, since it is several times cheaper than absorbent. On the manufacturer’s website, the first price is indicated at about 290 rubles, while the cost of absorbent diapers starts at 1700 rubles.
A waterproof diaper can be used on a changing table, during massage or short air baths, but, unfortunately, this product is not suitable for night sleep. However, some users of waterproof diapers claim that after several washes, the surface becomes softer and better absorbs moisture.
Nepromokashka baby diapers have anti-allergenic and antibacterial impregnation, and in addition, they have protection against dust mites.
pros
First of all, reusable diapers for children are lightweight, compact, they are convenient to take with you to the clinic, lay in a stroller or baby car seat. They are indispensable during massages or medical examinations, and also as a bed protection during night sleep. They do not rustle and do not slip, they do not need to additionally lay an oilcloth under them, and on top - an ordinary diaper. The upper terry layer is pleasant for the skin of the child.
The main plus is that such reusable diapers for children can be machine washed, they can withstand up to 90 degrees, and none of the layers are deformed. The manufacturer’s website claims that a reusable diaper can withstand up to 300 washings without losing its functional properties.
Reusable diapers do not require ironing.
Minuses
In connection with the permanent state of the crisis in the country, the main disadvantage is the rather high price of reusable diapers for children. It varies by size. In search of cheaper absorbent diapers, you need to scrape more than one page of online stores or go over all the famous children's goods stores.
However, even purchased at a bargain price, reusable diapers for children may disappoint you. There are various reviews of “Nepromokashka”, about 50/50 of positive and negative opinions.
Reviews
Basically, negative reviews relate to the functional properties of “Squeezers”. Many mothers were disappointed in the products, since the top layer of the waterproof diaper does not absorb moisture, as a result, the baby lies wet. Moreover, tilted fluid can drain in any direction. It turns out that the diaper does not protect at all.
Among other things, it is noted that the diaper gets off under the baby, it is difficult to fix it on the surface. After washing, it dries for a long time, and it must either be turned from one side to the other, or dried on two ropes.
There are more positive reviews about the absorbent diaper, since the liquid is absorbed into it almost instantly. It protects surfaces, does not leak, does not get wet, so you can safely use it for a night's sleep and not worry that the crumbs will be wet. Although with regard to the drying of these products, it also takes a long time for them to dry completely. As a rule, users warn that it is best to hang diapers to dry on the night on two ropes.
