Libero diapers: features and types

With the advent of the baby, many parents acquire disposable diapers. They absorb secretions well, keeping the baby’s skin dry for several hours. It is comfortable for the baby and convenient for mom. One of the most popular brands is Libero, which is presented in different series and different sizes of diapers.

Libero is a brand under which the Swedish concern Cellulosa Aktiebolaget (SCA) sells its products for newborns.

This company was established in 1929 as a pulp and paper mill. For a long time, it specialized exclusively in the production of mass consumer goods, but in the second half of the last century it became known as the world's largest manufacturer of disposable diapers.

It should be noted that for many centuries, young parents wrapped their children in cloth, and until the end of World War II, people simply did not know any other items of hygiene of newborns. It was in the 1950s that the impetuous development of care products for the smallest was given impetus. The fact is that it was precisely at that time that supplies of cotton raw materials to Sweden were drastically reduced, and they went in full to manufacture military clothing and bandages for the needs of the army. In this situation, manufacturers of children's goods were forced to look for other raw materials, and they became wood - the material available for this small country.

It all started with the manufacture of soft corrugated paper, soft to the touch, which slowly but surely began to force out the cotton supplied to Sweden. Within a few years, sliced ​​paper napkins appeared on the shelves, the size of which was 40x10 cm. Young mothers folded 20-30 pieces, thus providing some semblance of an absorbent layer. Such “diapers” became the prototype of modern models.

Wipes quickly gained popularity among parents because they did not have to be washed after use. Nevertheless, this option was still very far from perfect, so the company's specialists continued their development, and in 1955 there was a real breakthrough - then the very first pulp diaper in the world was created. The authorship was owned by a small company, which after 20 years and acquired a major manufactory SCA - this is how the popular brand Libero was born.

By the way, inventing the name for their products, the manufacturer put together words in the brand that best describe the products - this is freedom and movement, and, it should be noted, the company did everything in its power to make the children as comfortable as possible. The group launched a number of revolutionary products:

• Libero was the first to introduce a T-shaped diaper on the market;
• the company is the author of the creation of sticky fasteners, which allow, if necessary, to correct the hygienic means, remove and re-wear the baby;
• The company's specialists introduced universal diapers to the market, which are suitable for both boys and girls;
• The brand has patented elastic bands, which very gently and gently fit the baby’s feet, protecting it from leaking, but at the same time do not rub the skin.

More recently, in 2005, Libero has developed a special surface layer, which allows the skin to breathe and crumbs and reliably protects the child from irritation - in these diapers the baby always remains dry, even if it is already full. This know-how is presented in the Libero DryTech product series.

Simply put, the Swedish holding SCA has made quite a few changes to the diaper, which we now see in many popular models, but the manufacturer does not stop there and is actively working to make products for the smallest more efficient and comfortable.

Young mothers who decide to buy Libero products for babies, it is not so easy to make a choice, as the manufacturer produces their products in a very wide range.

There are several basic series

These are products for newborn babies, which is available in three sizes: up to 2.5 kg, 2-5 kg, and 3-6 kg.

The main distinctive feature of this series is recognized as a very soft surface, a special cutout for the umbilical wound, an elastic band, soft elastic bands around the legs, as well as a filling indicator.

Reviews of young mothers show that they are very gentle hygienic products, which are distinguished by good absorbency, do not crush or rub feet, and also create opportunities for treating the navel of a baby. Diapers are made of breathable material, so that the skin remains very dry and clean, even during bowel movements.

This model is designed for older children, whose body weight is 4-22 kg. They are very thin and perfectly absorb moisture and loose stools. The product perfectly keeps its shape, and the absorbent layer does not contain lotions and other synthetic fragrances.

Reviews on the products of this series are the most opposite - someone notes good absorbency, while others, on the contrary, say that the product gets wet almost immediately. Such a difference in the estimates is easily explained - the fact is that the diapers of this variety are produced according to the Swedish technology, but at the Russian production facilities. All negative reviews are redirected to diapers made in our country, but those that are made in Sweden or the Netherlands, are of exceptionally high quality, so when buying, be sure to pay attention to the country of origin.

These products are aimed at children weighing from 3 to 25 kg. The production is based on the use of only natural materials impregnated with aloe vera husks and pharmaceutical chamomile and does not include any flavors. These are thin products that absorb moisture very quickly and take care of baby’s delicate skin.

These are not classic diapers, but models made in the form of panties. They are thin and look like a full-fledged underwear. They completely absorb the liquid and save from leakage due to barriers. Such products are often bought for sleep, because the functional fasteners and elastic tape at the back allow you to change the diaper without disturbing the sleep of the crumbs.

These products are aimed at children weighing from 3 to 25 kg. The production is based on the use of only natural materials impregnated with aloe vera husks and pharmaceutical chamomile and does not include any flavors.

This is another model of disposable pants, which contains components of chamomile and aloe. The product contains elastic side gum, so that the hygienic product is reliably protected from leakage. To remove them is quite simple - you just need to break the sides.

This is a model of diapers for swimming - it is optimal for parents who teach babies to swim from an early age and take them to classes in the pool. The top words of such panties remain dry in water and effectively protect the baby’s skin from chlorinated water. If the diaper remains clean, then it can simply be dried and reused.

Thus, the Libero product line contains several series of diapers and disposable shorts, so parents can choose for their child those models that will optimally meet the needs of the child and his mother.

It should be noted that This brand produces only unisex products, so if you want to buy products separately for girls or boys, it is better to turn to another manufacturer.

Diapers are a rather expensive product, so parents do not want to spend money on the wind and buy models that will leak and cause discomfort to the crumbs. That is why they try to study the reviews, and here a big problem arises - the opinions of young parents about Libero products are the most opposite.

Most mothers point out the following benefits of Libero products:

• low cost - the average cost of packaging is 350-400 rubles, which is an order of magnitude cheaper than the products of Japanese manufacturers;
• high absorbency;
• no leakage, so they can be used at night;
• ease of use - diapers do not rub the skin and absolutely do not constrain the active movements of the crumbs.

A lot of positive reviews deserve models for babies. Parents note that they have an incision for the navel, which in infants is one of the most vulnerable places to which infection often gets. In addition, the absorbent layer can absorb liquid stool, and this is important in the first days of life when defecation reaches 6-8 times a day.

Many people cheer up interesting pictures, and besides, the reusable fastener and the filling indicator allow you to achieve greater convenience.

At the same time, the number of dissatisfied customers is also quite significant. According to some parents, Libero diapers:

• very thick, which creates a greenhouse effect inside;
• pass an unpleasant smell as filling;
• have poor absorption;
• often cause irritation on the skin of the crumbs;
• different weak velcro.

Speaking about the production of diapers and shorts of this brand, it should be noted that the basic composition of all products is the same. They contain cellulose fiber, as well as polyester and polyurethane, although Libero Everyday and Libero Dry Pants products, in addition to these fibers, contain extracts of aloe vera and chamomile — this fact must be taken into account when choosing diapers for your baby.

Doctors confirmed that chamomile has an antimicrobial effect, and aloe moisturizes the skin, so the combination of such components allows the baby's skin to remain clean and healthy.

At the same time, sometimes situations arise when the crumbs are intolerant of such additives, in which case he can often develop dermatitis. But if the adverse reaction of the skin to chamomile and aloe is not, then you can safely buy products with such impregnations.

Slightly different from the usual hygienic means composition of special pants for swimming - in addition to cotton and cellulose fibers, there is a special moisture-absorbing component that effectively holds the liquid, but does not cause swelling of the product.

Libero is a brand that offers one of the widest product lines of children's hygiene products, thanks to which you can choose diapers of any size for your baby.

To purchase a product that corresponds to the body weight of the baby, you need to pay attention to the special label located on the package.

• A bundle of funds for the little ones contains an image of the child in the hands of the mother, usually indicated here the number "0" - these diapers are designed for children whose body weight does not exceed 2.5 kg.
• On bags labeled "1" You can find hygiene products for babies weighing from 2 to 5 kg.
• The number "2" indicates the possibility of use for children weighing 3-6 kg.

• Grown-up guys who are already trying to sit down and roll over, diapers will do. marked "3". They are designed for children weighing 4-9 kg.
• But for too active babies worth buying packaging with the "four", They can be worn for children from 7 to 14 kg.
• Five will be optimal for babies who have mastered crawling, their body weight should be 10-16 kg.
• But the products marked "6" created for those crumbs who are already quite confidently standing on their feet and even trying to move. Their body weight is 12-22 kg.
• For large children with a weight of 15-20 kg should take packing with "7".

It is probably difficult to find another brand of disposable diapers, opinions on which would be more controversial.

A large number of young parents note that the Libero pampers, as opposed to advertising slogans, in fact turn out to be quite tough and coarse. The absorbent layer rather quickly begins to clump, which significantly impairs absorption and leads to leakage. As a result, the baby's ass quickly gets wet and this leads to frequent rash, irritation and diaper rash.

In addition, some note that the elastic bands and the belt of the product is inelastic. They are badly pulled and do not quite hold the wet diaper on the hips of the baby, especially if we are talking about a crumbs that are already walking, sitting and turning. They simply often slip from them, causing the bedclothes and mattress to get wet.

The opinions of other moms are opposite - they argue that these diapers absorb well and for a long time leave the baby’s skin dry and protected.

It is obvious that products of different series differ in various operational features. Most often it depends on the country in which the products were manufactured. Original products brought from Swedish factories are of exceptional quality, while products made by the author’s technology in other countries often cause a lot of complaints.

However, in fairness it should be noted that reviews of Libero underpants are much better, and swimming products admire most young parents altogether. They boldly recommend them for use as extremely reliable, well absorbing, tightly holding odor, waterproof and pleasant to the baby’s body. Also, consumers indicate that diapers in purple packs are of higher quality than in yellow ones.
