Features of Moony diapers

In today's world, it is difficult to even imagine caring for a baby without using such a convenient means as diapers. Everybody has heard about the advantages of famous brands like Pampers, Huggies or Libero, but not everyone knows that not these brands are considered by experts to be the most comfortable and convenient.

There are also more technologically advanced diaper brands that are equipped with almost computerized mechanisms for tracking the occupancy of the product and other similar improvements that make the product more expensive, but bring its use to a whole new level of convenience.

The leader in the production of such ultra-modern diapers is predictably Japan, leading in the newest technologies, and Moony is considered one of the most popular brands of Japanese diapers of the elite class.

Moony is not in vain in the lead - the company has a relatively rich history for the manufacturer of Japanese diapers. The founding year was a relatively recent 1981, when the same Pampers were already widely heard around the world, but the Japanese quickly made up for lost time. It is clear that many of the products advertised by them are also somewhat exaggeratedly praised, but still the majority of parents make up a very good opinion about them.

As for the outstanding achievements of the manufacturer, already in 1987 he presented “the world's first waterproof disposable diapers”, significantly improving the system of three-dimensional frills along the leg circumference line. Prior to that, such tightness would necessarily lead to obvious skin problems such as diaper rash, but the developers thought of everything in the complex, having made the diaper itself out of breathable materials. Let's be honest: in fact, any diaper can leak, but this has become a real revolution.

In 1992, the brand introduced another new product - the Moony Man panties, the key feature of which was their focus on a baby who already knew how to walk. At that time, these were the only diapers in the world that could be changed from a standing baby without placing it on a flat surface. The latter could not be in public places, because many parents liked the novelty. In 2001, a similar concept was presented, but for crawling babies.

Moony diapers are distinguished by a worthy variety of assortment - the model range includes both classic “diapers” for newborns and infants, and children's panties for children who are already ready to take their first steps. There are both typical disposable diapers, whose effectiveness lasts for only a few hours, and more “durable” nightly products. Products are produced separately for boys and for girls - this is expressed not only in strengthening the absorbent layer in the appropriate places, but also in the stylistic design of the product.

The basis of the technology of production of such technological diapers is a specific material, called "Air Skinny".By this is meant a mesh, woven from ultrafine fibers and almost freely passing air, due to which normal humidity is maintained inside. This helps to achieve perfect dryness of the skin and helps avoid the typical negative effects of excessive moisture in the form of diaper rash.

The outer layer, of course, is also not devoid of modern technologies - the shell material is made of polyolefins. Inside, at first glance, nothing unusual - the absorbent layer is made on the basis of cotton, but in fact there are chemical superabsorbents present, which allow the liquid to quickly thicken. Diaper models for older children, no longer so susceptible to allergies to the unfamiliar, have additional impregnation of the inner layer with various herbal extracts extracted from chamomile and eucalyptus, as well as witch hazel.

Regardless of assignment to one or another series, all the diapers of the Japanese brand have characteristic features, which, of course, it is more logical to attribute to the pluses. For example, the adhesive tape used in these “pampers” does not deteriorate after the first unfastening - it is convenient not only for reusable diapers, but also provides a more reliable fixation in general. The developers also absolutely all models are equipped with filling indicators, thanks to which parents stay abreast of the current situation, even without undoing the accessory.

All products are necessarily designed in such a way that quite tight to the body of the baby, while not restricting his movements, and special reinforced frills minimize the likelihood of leakage. Regardless of the exact configuration, the materials used necessarily breathe and do not provoke irritations on the skin, being hypoallergenic and just soft to the touch.

According to many parents who have their own experience of using diapers of various leading brands, it is Moony that most deserves to be called the best. There are quite a few reasons for such an opinion, but we will consider only those that are most popular in the comments on motherhood websites.

• The ability to absorb liquid stools well. For most types of diapers, the main criterion for urgent replacement is the “big” baby surprise, but this is not always the case with Moony. The fact is that babies feed mainly on milk and other types of food of soft consistency, and therefore their stools are liquid, and the diaper in question copes with such a problem as easily as if it were urine.
• Ability to keep shape in any situation. The problem of many diapers is that they are crumpled due to the active actions of the baby, and in such a situation the likelihood of the accessory increases.

• Width. Many manufacturers, trying to reduce the cost of their products, make diapers relatively small - less expensive materials are used this way. It is assumed that the tight girth in the right places compensates for the small size, but in practice it turns out that it is enough to literally get the fluid literally a centimeter past the expected zone - and that's all, we get a leak. That is why Moony’s “diapers” by Moony are most valued above other Japanese manufacturers, which are also among the world leaders in the industry. The brand in question is distinguished by an increased width of products, therefore it provides a more reasonable guarantee of protection against leakage.
• Balance gum. To avoid leakages, you need to ensure that the baby’s body is as tight as possible, but you should not press too hard, because otherwise it will cause obvious discomfort. The problem is aggravated by the fact that the skin of a child is much more tender, because excessive pressure will leave much more serious consequences. Japanese creators of "diapers" managed to find a fine line, when the material does not leave the slightest gap, but at the same time does not overtighten the tissues of the body, but does not prevent movement.
• Embossed inner layer. The difficulty of creating perfect diapers lies in the fact that the absorbent layer almost always remains somewhat wet, and contact of the wetted material with the skin very quickly leads to diaper rash. The creators of Moony products out of position, making the inner layer of embossed material, which, being quite thick, does not get wet through and does not allow the inner absorbent layer to reach the skin.

Theoretically, the best diapers in the world should be completely free from any flaws, but in fact there are certain disadvantages, of course, otherwise Moony would have no competitors at all. The Pampers, Huggies and Libero brands get their chance because some problems were not solved by the developers from Japan, but they are not always so critical as to make parents refuse to buy them. However, if you are only planning to try the products of this brand, then you should know about the possible disadvantages in advance.

• Cost The use of modern technologies and the presence of technological "chips" like the indicator of filling in all models without exception could not but affect the price - in some categories the rates are twice higher than those of the same Pampers. This may not be such a fundamental point in Japan, where the income level of the population is quite high, but in our country many parents will once again think about how to buy one.

• Non-perfect fit. Selection of diapers, most parents carry out according to the table of sizes, which indicates for what weight which diapers are needed. It is difficult to say what is the reason - inaccurate measurements or the difference in the size of our and Japanese children, but many parents claim that the Moony diapers selected from the table are cramped. This, of course, is not such a big problem, if you are aware in advance - then you can simply buy diapers a size larger.
• Unstable quality. Separately, it is necessary to single out a widespread statement that one diaper of this manufacturer to another is different, even if both packs belong to the same series. For many parents, it remains a mystery how to determine in advance the degree of quality of the purchased products, but especially attentive ones pay attention to the fact that Moony, it turns out, produces separate products, in fact, for Japan, and separately - for export.

All the bright advantages attributed to the brand's products relate to those “diapers” that are focused on sales in Japan - it's quite simple to distinguish such thanks to the lack of inscriptions on the packaging in languages ​​other than Japanese, as well as by barcode starting at 45 or 49 Accordingly, if there is a translation at least in English on the packaging, then there is no doubt that the diapers are specially made for export.

The main export destinations for the brand are neighboring Asian countries, for example, China, where the standard of living of the population is noticeably lower, as is the quality of local “diapers”, because Moony supplies their diapers there in a bit of “lightweight” version, saving on materials. It is often the second type of product that gets into our outlets, both because of its lower cost and because of the more understandable inscriptions on the packaging.

The size range of Moony brand products is distinguished by dividing into special sizes for the diapers themselves and separately for panties. On the other hand, to simplify orientation in size allows the number of pieces in the package - as a rule, the older (the more weight) the child, the smaller the diapers in the pack. It should be remembered about the shortcoming already mentioned above - many parents believe that the weight recommendations of the company's products are somewhat overestimated.

If we talk about the size, there are four main categories:

• "Newborn", or simply "NB", designed for newborn babies that weigh from 0 to 5 kg - usually 90 items are in a pack;
• "S" can be used for heavy children from birth, it assumes a weight category in the range of 4-8 kg, 81 pieces fit into the package;
• "M" Designed for grown-up toppers, whose weight already reaches 6-11 kg, a standard pack contains 62 such diapers;
• "L" - the largest size for children from the weight category 9-14 kg, in this package there are 54 pieces.

• "M" in this case, calculated on the weight of the child in 6-10 kg, the panty in such a package is usually 58 pieces. It should be noted that in these panties, in contrast to larger sizes, separation by gender is not yet provided.
• “L” size panties focused on children in the weight category of 9-14 kg, it is here that division by sex appears for the first time, and because of the intricacies of the location of absorbents, it is highly undesirable to choose a model that does not match the sex of the child. Copies in this package is already significantly less - 44.
• "Moony XL" designed for fairly large children who are already getting used to the pot - this is not surprising, because the weight of the potential owner should be 12-17 kg. So babies do not need diapers so often, because 38 pieces in a pack are quite reasonable.
• "XXL" - This is an option for those tots who are gaining weight much faster than learning to use the pot. They are designed for “clients” with a weight of 18-35 kg and are used more as a safety net than for full use, therefore there are very few of them in a pack - only 26 pieces.

It should be noted that most sellers do not make a difference in cost between packages of different sizes - usually one set price is common for all Moony diapers and one more price for all shorts.

There are fewer comments on Moony even on specialized sites than on the company's competitors - the high cost of the company's products affects, it hurts the pocket of most compatriots.

On the best side, they are usually characterized by those consumers who are not constrained by money and highly value their own comfort. They note that diapers and panty brand are much better than others in terms of protection from leakage and concern for the health of the baby.Excellent reviews are collected and the usability of such accessories is possible to change them even on a standing toddler, and to constantly monitor the condition of the diaper, regularly unbuttoning it, there is no need, because the filling sensor perfectly fulfills the function of informing parents.

Turning to negative reviews, it should be said that there is a perception on the Internet that Moony products are often forged. Naturally, fake and original vary greatly in quality - this is confirmed by many parents. In fact, this is probably not a fake, but an imported version of diapers, as mentioned above - you just have to be careful when choosing a package to avoid unpleasant surprises.

If Moony is criticized as a whole, then they usually mean a discrepancy between price and quality. Most of these critics admit that the technologies used (the same filling indicator) may be worth such money, but there is no urgent need to use them. The authors of such reviews believe that once again undoing the diaper to check the degree of its filling is not so difficult, given that sometimes this can be saved twice.
