As soon as a baby appears in the family, the question immediately arises of what is better to use - cloth diapers or disposable ones. Disputes on this topic have not subsided for many years - since the appearance of the first disposable diapers. Studies are regularly conducted, but no one comes to an unambiguous conclusion.

Meanwhile, disposable diapers are gaining popularity due to their ease of use and time savings due to no washing. New brands and types appear on the diaper market every year. One of the most popular brands, which can be found in almost all stores (both chain and regular) and pharmacies in any city and village of the Russian Federation, are Huggies Classic diapers, most of the reviews are positive.

A little about the manufacturer

TM Huggies belongs to the American corporation Kimberly-Clark Corporation, headquartered in one of the cities of Texas - Irving. In the titlethe names of its founders John Kimberly and Charles Clark appear.

The company was founded in the 19th century (1872). Engaged in the production of hygiene products (toilet paper, paper towels) and disposable overalls. Subsequently, the range was expanded to include personal hygiene products (pads, medical masks, gloves).

By 2011, the company's products were presented in more than 150 countries, including Russia. The most famous brands of the corporation: "Haggis", "Cleanex", "Koteks", "Scott", "Kimkare", "Waypal", "Kimtech", "Klingard".

You don't need to introduce anyone to TM "Haggis". This is a line of diapers, wet wipes. TM "Koteks" presents a line of hygiene products for women of the category "Economy" and the middle class. Products for the functioning of premises where increased sterility and cleanliness are needed are represented by the following TM:

1. Kleenex is toilet paper (dry and wet), wipes (dry and wet), paper towels, disposable handkerchiefs. Hotel (bathroom) equipment.
2. "Scott" - paper products for hotels, hospitals: everything from toilet paper, towels to sheets.
3. "Hostess" - paper towels.
4. "Kimtech" offers sterile and non-sterile overalls for honey. institutions and wiping material.

Products of allof the above brands - this is certainly high quality and reasonable prices.

Since 1996, Kimberly-Clark has had a representative office in Russia. And already in 2010, a plant for the production of products for personal use of TM "Huggies" (including Huggies classic 4) was opened in the Moscow region. In addition to Russia, representative offices and production sites are open in 37 other countries.

The history of the Huggies brand

Today, several types of diapers are produced under the Huggies trademark:

• Elite soft - premium quality, 100% cotton, minus - very high cost.
• Ultra Comfort is an anatomical line that takes into account the characteristics of boys and girls. Therefore, each gender has its own model. Absorbent layers are arranged taking into account the anatomical features of children. The downside is also the high cost.
• Classic is a budget series designed for daily use. Divided by baby's weight into 5 categories: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Best value for money.
• Little Swimmers is a line for swimming. A baby, even in water, can easily stain diapers, but this will not get into the water and will not spoil the baby's skin.
• Wet wipes "Haggis", for cleansing the baby's skin from various contaminants. The products are divided into Elite, Ultra Comfort and Classic.

What does the title mean

The name comes from the English verb hug, which means to hug. In thecompanies prefer to interpret the word as “hugs”. That is, a newborn, after entering this world, goes straight into the loving embrace of relatives and diapers.

Dimension of the entire Huggies line

Huggies Classic, as noted above, is the most budget option. But the quality didn't get worse. By weight, like all other TMs, they are divided into 5 sizes:

• 5 - from 11 to 25 kg;
• 4 - from 7 to 18 kg;
• 3 - from 4 to 9 kg;
• 2 - from 3 to 6 kg;
• 1 - for newborn babies from 0 to 5 kg.

It is worth noting that due to the gel layer, the diapers are thicker than other brands, and a little small, the first time you need to take a small pack for testing. You also need to take into account the weight of the baby. A thin one can take a size in size, and for a more plump one, it is better to choose one more for comfort.

Huggies Classic Benefits

As noted earlier, Huggies Classic diapers have a number of undeniable advantages, due to which this brand has gained its popularity:

• Made entirely from lightweight and breathable materials;
• there is a gel block that quickly absorbs and retains moisture inside, preventing it from penetrating into the top layer in contact with the baby's skin, leaving it dry for up to 12 hours;
• The outer layer is made with Air Dry technology, which allows the skin to breathe through moisture, which is securely retained inside.
• gentlerubber band, which is made of stretchy materials, due to which the diaper fits snugly against the back without leaving marks on the skin, and at the same time prevents the leakage of liquid substances;
• soft and elastic, but at the same time dense, barriers around the legs, do not allow moisture to spread over the surface of the skin;
• an interesting design with Disney characters that will appeal to both the baby and his parents;
• Velcro fasteners can be used several times, they will not lose their properties and will fasten the belt as securely as the first time.

But the company pays great attention not only to the quality of the diaper itself, but also to its safety and attractive appearance. After all, the craving for beauty develops from the cradle.

Largest size

The most capacious diapers are Huggies Classic 5. They are designed for weight from 11 to 25 kg, which corresponds to the age of 12 to 36 months. If the baby's weight is 10.5 kg, size 5 will fit him.

At the age of one year, children have a lively inquisitive nature and it is especially important for them that diapers do not interfere with movement. Judging by the descriptions and reviews contained on review sites, this category of complaints contains the least amount of complaints. Perhaps because the kids can already ask for a potty and the diaper is worn only for walking long distances, as a safety net. The blue-red-white package can contain 11, 21, 42 or a maximum of 58 pieces.

Size"midi"

Huggies Classic 4 diapers, according to reviews, are suitable for children whose age is from 6 months to a year, and their weight ranges from 7 to 18 kg. They are also very active and demanding babies. At this time, they begin their research mission. Comfort and minimum leakage are very important for them.

Therefore, if parents notice that the diaper is swollen, it is necessary to observe the baby's drinking habits, perhaps due to excessive absorption of liquids, the child empties the bladder more often and the absorbent layer does not cope with its task. If everything is normal, then it is recommended to either change them more often, or go to the maximum size. In a pack you can find 14, 27, 50, 68 pieces.

Third and second sizes

For babies up to six months old, whose activity is limited by their physical development (someone can roll over, while others can play calmly with their own hands), the main condition when choosing a diaper will be the ability to keep the skin dry for a long time. After all, if moisture remains in the upper layer, unpleasant wetting and rashes on the skin are likely. It is quite easy to determine the dimension, for babies weighing from 4 to 9 kg, Huggies Classic 3 diapers are suitable, reviews on these sizes are mostly positive. Available in packs of 16, 31, 58, 78.

Things are a little more complicated with size 2. Children weighing from 3 to 6 kg just sleep for a long time and cannot change position themselves. So mom turned the baby on the left barrel and fell asleep herself, so it may happen that withone side may leak. Therefore, in order to avoid the appearance of diaper rash, redness and rashes, it is recommended that the baby be periodically turned over to the other side. Available in packs of 18, 37, and 88 pieces. They last a long time.

For the little ones

For the little ones, size 2 is suitable. It is designed for weights up to 6 kg. It has a fairly soft surface, inside is hypoallergenic Baby Soft material, because of this, the delicate skin of the newborn is not damaged, and at the same time, the elastic band of the belt tightly fits the baby's body and prevents the diaper from sliding down. A large pack of 160 should be enough for the entire neonatal period.

Product Allergy – Myth or Reality

Many parents, reading, for example, reviews of Huggies Classic 4, begin to doubt the correctness of their choice. After all, someone writes that such a brand causes allergic reactions, such as the appearance of redness or a rash.

Perhaps these reactions were, but their appearance is due to individual intolerance to the components that make up the diaper. After all, the body of the crumbs has not yet adapted to the influence of the external environment, and, perhaps, there are not enough elements for the body. Only a doctor can answer this question. And the manufacturing company is only responsible for the quality of its hygiene products.

Hypoallergenic Huggies Classic, according to loyal parents, is achieved by three components:

• high quality;
• withdrawalfragrances and fragrances;
• correct selection of the size.

The company can confirm the first two points with the available quality certificates. Well, the latter depends only on the crumbs' parents.

Afterword

In conclusion, I would like to say that despite the fact that the hygiene products of the brand (for example) Huggies Classic 3, according to reviews, keep the skin dry for up to 12 hours, you do not need to wear them on the child all the time. After all, even the most breathable layer will not give as much air as the baby's skin will receive without any diapers. Yes, and wet, it becomes much heavier and puts pressure on the soft body, not accustomed to external influences.

Doctors say that the use of diapers is expedient and justified, only in the case of long journeys, in all other cases it should be short enough. The baby, who is less in disposable diapers, subsequently becomes accustomed to the potty faster. Because he doesn't like being wet. Whereas Huggies Classic disposable diapers, according to reviews, remain dry even after the baby has emptied the bladder. The incentive to ask for a potty disappears.

Of course, everyone should decide for themselves whether to use disposable or cloth diapers. But a more environmentally friendly option would still be fabric, as they only need to be washed in the machine, and they are ready to use again. And disposables are simply thrown into the trash can. But no one thinks about where all this mountain of garbage will go in the future.
