It’s even scary to imagine those times when disposable diapers were not on sale, and our mothers and grandmothers had to spend the lion's share of the time on endless washing of diapers. The appearance on the Russian market of disposable diapers has made life easier for many modern mothers. You no longer need to constantly wash, and at night you can sleep peacefully, without fear that the baby is in wet diapers.
But how among the many brands to choose the best? This article provides an overview of the Libero Comfort diapers. Reviews on them on the network are very different, and sometimes diametrically opposed.
Line of diapers "Libero"
By launching the Libero Comfort diaper line, the manufacturer took care of babies of all ages - from newborns to already large children of kindergarten age. Models for children weighing from 4 to 22 kg are available.
What the manufacturer promises
The manufacturer describes the following benefits of Libero Comfort diapers:
- excellent absorbency;

But is it really so rosy? Can mothers, when purchasing these diapers, be sure that the skin and clothes of babies are really well protected?
Libero Comfort 3
These diapers are designed for babies weighing from 4 to 9 kg. The package can contain 22, 44, 68 and 90 pieces of these diapers, that is, they can be used literally from the hospital until the child reaches 3-4 months of age.
Still very small children basically lie, sleep, move not too actively, but they need to go to the toilet quite often. Therefore, diapers for children of this age should be protected as much as possible from leaks, and also not cause allergic reactions. They should absorb even loose stools and ideally should stand all night without changing clothes.
According to the manufacturers, these are exactly the Libero Comfort-3 diapers. Reviews on the network claim that they absorb well, so that the child sleeps peacefully all night. Diapers are completely devoid of chemical fragrance, have a pleasant soft inner surface, elastic gum that does not rub the legs.
Nevertheless, about products such as Libero Comfort-3 diapers, you can also find negative reviews. Many mothers write that this diaper pattern is leaking. The inner layer crumbles, falls into one huge lump, as a result of which the baby is uncomfortable, the skin becomes wet and weeping, so many users decide to refuse to use this brand of diapers.

Just at this time, the child begins to actively move: roll over, crawl, take the first steps. Therefore, the primary task of the manufacturer is to create comfort for active movements. Such a diaper should have a high back, elastic elastic bands that do not constrain movements. It should not leak and cause skin irritation.
All this is promised by the manufacturer Libero Comfort-4. The reviews, however, were again divided: some write enthusiastic odes to these diapers, while others promise never to contact them again due to poor quality.

They do not leak, do not cause allergies, do not contain chemical fragrances, and also do not constrain the active movements of the growing baby.
Diapers "Libero": composition
Typically, manufacturers keep the composition of their products secret, but you can easily find out about the contents of the diaper by experience if you simply gut it. So, let's open the Libero Comfort diaper, the reviews of which are so contradictory.
The composition of the Libero diapers includes:
- The fabric base is the outer shell of the product, the main requirement for this material is lightness and high ability to pass air, then the baby's skin will not be covered with diaper rash, and prolonged wearing of the diaper will not cause discomfort. In addition, the outer layer has a fleecy surface, this is done for better grip of Velcro fasteners.
- A thin layer of polyethylene is used in almost all diapers, with the exception of Libero Comfort Fit diapers, reviews on the network claim that diapers that do not use polyethylene are included in packages with a feather image.
- Then a fabric pad is laid , but inside it is the secret of all diapers - pieces of cellulose (cotton wool) and tiny white granules are hidden. Granules are sodium polyacrylate, which has excellent absorbent properties and is used by manufacturers of diapers as an adsorbent.
If these granules are filled with water, then after a while they will absorb all the water, swell and turn into very thick jelly. Due to this property of sodium polyacrylate, moisture is quickly absorbed inside the diaper and does not leak.
But why are the Libero Comfort diapers reviews so contradictory?
Manufacturers of diapers "Libero Comfort"
The thing is that the Libero Comfort diapers have different manufacturers. If you look closely at the inscriptions on the packaging, you can see that the product is made in one of the countries: in Russia, Sweden or the Netherlands. Sometimes in the network there are reviews about Libero Comfort diapers that Poland is indicated as the manufacturing country.
Be that as it may, but the most negative feedback, alas, is about Russian-made diapers. It is noted that it is domestic diapers that do not hold their shape, leak, rub, cause allergic reactions, swell, the filler crumbles in them, falls down below, and therefore there is a feeling of a full diaper. The secret, apparently, lies in the poor-quality filler, since the outer fabric shells are identical for diapers of all producing countries. Or Russian technologists decided to save and reduced the amount of sodium polyacrylate in the diaper, replacing it with ordinary cotton wool.
Reviews about these diapers, but of foreign manufacture, are only positive: they do not leak, do not sag, do not cause irritation, practically do not crumple, keep their shape, perfectly absorb - in general, they meet all the stated promises.
Reviews of pediatricians
As for reviews on thematic sites about Libero Comfort diapers, the reviews of pediatricians are unanimous, they all advise you to buy these diapers only of foreign manufacture, since they are made better than Russian ones. In addition, all users agree on the same opinion: the Libero Comfort diapers, as they say, are "too small", that is, when acquiring it is better to focus on the lower mark of the child’s weight.
Summarizing all of the above, we can conclude that if you decide to purchase diapers of the Libero Comfort series, then follow these rules:
- look at the manufacturer and buy products made in Sweden or the Netherlands;
- Find the image of the feather on the package;
- when buying, focus on the lower weight mark of your child;
