Today, baby care is helped by disposable diapers or, as some mothers call them, diapers. They are available to every family and greatly facilitate the lives of parents, helping to save time and energy. Moms want the best for their baby, so the choice of diapers is one of the urgent problems of motherhood.
Now on the Russian market you can find at least a dozen brands, and one of the discussed and popular ones is “Muni” panties and diapers. Diapers, reviews of which are mostly positive, can be bought at many retail outlets. But are they really good? To deal with this, you can consider the characteristics, ratings and opinions of consumers of this product.
Manufacturer
The Unicharm Corporation, established in Japan back in 1961, is engaged in the development, improvement and production of hygiene and cosmetic products for women and baby products. The rating of diapers produced by her is relatively high both in the Japanese and Russian markets. This company has created a specialized laboratory in which a moving baby mannequin is located. With it, experts analyze the speed and volume of absorption of manufactured care products, uniformity in the distribution of moisture over them, wearing comfort, a creep rate during activity and other parameters that are important for high-quality panties or diapers. Due to the excellent quality and continuous improvement of products for the care of babies, the products of this corporation have earned authority among the mothers of Russia.
Japanese diapers, reviews and discussions about which are found on many women's forums or sites, can be attributed to the "Premium" class. The manufacturer has created a wide range of models and sizes for the baby of any complexion and level of development.
Parameters of a good diaper
How to determine whether a diaper is suitable for a crumb and is it of good quality? To do this, you need to watch the baby for several days. If the diaper meets the criteria listed below, then it can be considered an excellent option for daily use:
- no leaks occur;
- on the legs of the baby there are no reddish marks, damage or scuffs;
- diaper rash, redness or an allergic rash does not appear in the area of the priests (in some cases, these signs may indicate an untimely change of diaper).
Japanese diapers, reviews of which in most cases confirm the presence of all the listed criteria when used, are a quality and thoughtful option for care. To prove this, it is necessary to consider the composition, structure, as well as the positive and negative opinions of consumers, based on the experience of using them in babies.
Natural composition
According to information from the manufacturer, baby care products produced by Unicharm Corporation have exclusively natural ingredients. According to the uniquely developed technology, “Mooney” diapers are made from natural cotton fiber and innovative materials. Reviews of some mothers indicate that when they were used in children, prone to allergic rashes from other diapers, a negative reaction in the form of a rash or prickly heat was not observed.
The skin of babies after applying this diaper is clean and smooth - this is proved by the naturalness of the composition. The surface layer of “Air Silky” feels like natural silk to the touch, thanks to its smooth texture the friction between the skin of the crumbs and the surface of the diaper is reduced by 40%. It consists of thin and delicate fibers 11 km thick. The outer stretch layer is made of breathable material, therefore skin debate is excluded. The base is a plexus of cotton fibers that perfectly pass liquid and at the same time remain completely dry.
Convenience and moisture absorption
The Mooney Japanese diapers have elastic bands in the form of volume folds, collected on the back and around the legs, designed to protect against leakage of urine and to catch the stool of the baby. A specially designed seat, having an absorbent base of the cellular structure, ensures the outflow of excess fluid to the adsorbents. There, the moisture turns into a gel, so it does not leak out and leaves the skin of the crumbs dry during any movements and manipulations of the crumbs.
The reliable and absolutely silent sticky fastener does the Mooney diapers convenient. Diapers, reviews of which say that if necessary, you can change the diaper during a long night's sleep without waking the baby, buyers consider it thought out to the smallest detail. The developers came up with an indicator of pollution and humidity in the form of a yellow strip, applied in the middle from the outside. When the diaper becomes wet, it signals this, changing the color to blue shades. The brightness and uniformity of the strip depends on the degree of filling and humidity of the layers.
Size chart of diapers
The brand presents a wide dimensional grid, allowing you to choose a suitable “Mooney” diaper for crumbs of any age. Sizes declared by the manufacturer and their quantity in the package:
- Newborn (NB) - for newborn babies with a body weight of up to 5 kg - 90 pieces;
- S - for babies who have reached 4 to 8 kg in weight - 81 pieces;
- M - for babies weighing 6-11 kg - 62 pieces;
- L - for children weighing from 9 to 14 kg - 54 pieces.
Panties
The baby grows up and begins to learn the world around him in motion. “Mooney” panties are designed for an active baby who has reached a weight of 6 kg. Ordinary diapers are more difficult to put on a rolling fidget. Panties absolutely do not constrain movements and are easily removed when tearing seams on the side. The convenience is that the children’s legs remain clean when you remove it. Disposable panties of this brand are relatively thin, but at the same time they are characterized by good absorbency. They are equipped with a medium density rubber band. These disposable underpants are suitable for both trips and walks, and for night sleep crumbs. They are divided according to the anatomical parameters of babies: the main absorption zone in options for girls is higher than in analogues for boys. Mom advises from her own experience: if the volume of night urination is so large that the panties can no longer cope with it, then you need to use the following size.

Reviews
Today, a considerable number of parents prefer to choose the products of the Unicharm Corporation company for caring for their baby: Muni panties, diapers. Reviews of most of the consumers are only positive, since the products are liked not only by mothers, but also by their crumbs.
They celebrate various positive points. All the mothers who bought the diapers of this brand claim that this is the mildest option among analogues. Having tried the tenderness of its inner layer, they are sure that diapers of other brands seem tougher and rougher to the touch.
They also note that the belt is moderately elastic, therefore it does not rub, but it also stretches well. According to women, the clasps can even be considered reusable: they are remarkably fixed and do not come off during operation.
The main parameter that decides the choice in their favor is reliability and lack of leaks. This is how the Mooney diapers characterize a greater number of mothers. Photos of babies after a night's sleep or walking, posted by some of them on the forums, show that the diapers of this brand can easily withstand any situation.
A big plus in the models of this company is that the main absorbent layer does not form lumps. The absorbent gel mass is evenly distributed, so softness and comfort throughout the day and night are familiar sensations for a baby wearing Japanese “Mooney” diapers.
Reviews, however, are also negative. A small part of mothers express an absolutely opposite opinion. They agree with the softness of the inner layer, but deny the absence of leakage. Some mothers say that the elastic in the zone of the lower back and legs does not hold liquid well, which does not dry out quickly enough.
Reasons for Negative Reviews
What is the reason for such a difference of opinion? Perhaps the reason was the wrong dressing of the diaper, or the selected size and appearance do not correspond to the proportions of the baby. But, most likely, the difference in quality is associated with the directions of production.
The fact is that Unicharm Corporation has developed two production lines: for the domestic Japanese market and export destinations for Asian countries (Malaysia, Taiwan, China and others). Japan-oriented products are of impeccable quality. But analogues for export, unfortunately, are inferior in everything. Lower quality in all respects distinguishes export diapers. Reviews of them claim that the absorbability of the base layer has worsened, and more rigid material of the inner ball has become.
It is not difficult to distinguish an export issue from a series focused on the Japanese consumer. On packages sent for export, some descriptions are translated into different languages (Chinese, English and others). On packs for the domestic market, you can find only Japanese characters, since they are issued for residents of Japan.
The difference is manifested in the lineup. Universal panties - they are suitable for any gender. Disposable diaper pants for the Japanese consumer have models for girls and boys, taking into account their structural features. Externally, each diaper is durable, with symmetrical details. Velcro he has quality. Products manufactured for the domestic market have no defective areas; they are soft and gentle. It is worth paying attention to the barcode. For Japan, it should be 49 or 45.
