In a house where there is a small child, perhaps the most necessary thing is baby diapers. For a year or two, they do not lose their relevance, since babies still urinate quite often.

Massages, air baths, baby sleep at night - all these activities require maximum comfort, which is not always possible when using disposable diapers. In this case, a reusable absorbent diaper will become a good helper for parents.

How to keep surfaces from getting wet?

The older generation de alt with the problem of wet diapers in a simple way: a rubber pharmacy oilcloth was laid on the surface, and a simple cloth diaper was placed on top of it, which was changed to a dry one as needed. The disadvantages of this method are obvious:

• rubber oilcloth is slippery, and when the baby rolls over, the cloth rolls up, slides off, and as a result, the baby lies on the cold oilcloth;
• even covered with a flannel 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, greatly facilitated the worries of mothers 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 teach the baby to the pot. In addition, many procedures require that the baby be naked. This is where reusable diapers for babies come in handy for young mothers.

Types of reusable diapers

Reusable diapers for children "Waterproof" are of two types: waterproof and absorbent. How are they different?

Reusable absorbent pad “Drop-proof” consists of four layers:

• the top layer is made of cotton, has a slightly terry porous texture that allows the liquid to be quickly absorbed;
• second layer - non-woven fabric, which is an adsorbent that absorbs and retains moisture;
• then laid a waterproof microporous membrane, its texture allows air to circulate freely while being a liquid barrier;
• 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;
• lower - microporous membrane.

If an absorbent diaper collects and retains liquid inside itself, then a waterproof diaper practically does not absorb, moisture collects on the surface in a small puddle and only slightlyabsorbed by the top layer. That is, it is rather an alternative to rubber pharmaceutical 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 an absorbent one. On the manufacturer's website, the price for the first one is about 290 rubles, while the cost of absorbent diapers starts at 1,700 rubles.

The waterproof diaper can be used on the changing table, during a massage or short air baths, but, unfortunately, this product is not suitable for a night's sleep. However, some users of waterproof diapers claim that after several washes, the surface becomes softer and absorbs moisture better.

Baby nappies "Waterproof" have anti-allergic and antibacterial impregnation, and in addition, they have protection against dust mites.

Pros

First of all, reusable diapers for children are light, compact, it is convenient to take them with you to the clinic, put them in a stroller or a baby car seat. They are indispensable during massages or medical examinations, as well as protecting the bed during a night's sleep. They do not rustle and do not slip, you do not need to lay an additional oilcloth under them, and on top - a regular diaper. The terry top layer is gentle on baby's skin.

The main advantage is that such reusable diapers for children can be washed inmachine, they can withstand up to 90 degrees, while none of the layers is deformed. The manufacturer's website claims that the reusable diaper can withstand up to 300 washes without losing its functional properties.

Reusable diapers do not require ironing.

Cons

Due to the permanent state of crisis in the country, the main disadvantage is the rather high price of reusable diapers for children. It varies depending on the size. In search of cheaper absorbent diapers, you need to scroll through more than one page of online stores or go through all the famous baby stores.

However, even purchased at a bargain price, you may be disappointed with reusable diapers for children. Reviews about "Drop-up" are different, positive and negative opinions are about 50/50.

Reviews

Mostly negative reviews relate to the functional properties of the "Drop-wet". Many mothers were disappointed in the products, since the top layer of the waterproof diaper does not absorb moisture, as a result, the child lies wet. Moreover, when tilted, the liquid 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 knocked 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 over 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 it can be safelyuse for a night's sleep and do not worry that the baby will be wet. Although with regard to drying these products, they also require a long time to dry completely. As a rule, users warn that it is best to hang diapers on two lines to dry overnight.
