Panty diapers: how to choose and use?

A pressing issue for the mother, whose child has reached the age of mastering the pot, is the topic of using diapers. Not all kids equally quickly acquire the skills of using the "night vase". At this time, it is still too early to abandon the diaper, but it becomes impractical to use the usual option, which is fastened with Velcro. Assistants in this case can be absorbent panties.

Classic diapers, acceptable for babies of the first four months of life, give way to diapers in the form of panties. They provide convenience to peanuts that learn to crawl, walk, jump and run, comprehending the world around them. In the period when the baby's physical activity is increased, they become an indispensable assistant for the little researcher, as well as his parents.

The advantages of this subject of children's use are as follows.

• Easy to put on and take off. You do not need to lay the baby on the back, as it happens when using a conventional diaper. The process is carried out literally on the go.
• There is an elastic belt covering the body of the baby. He does not allow slipping of panties, does not press on the tummy, prevents leakage. The important point is the correct selection of the size of hygiene products.
• From leaks provide protection and elastic elastics around the legs.
• Ease in putting on and taking off helps the baby to make friends with the pot, since the child can do these actions independently.
• A wide range of products. There are separate models for boys and girls, which take into account the anatomical features of the genitourinary system, universal models suitable for all children regardless of gender, and models designed for different ages. There are options for the night. Thus, the mother of a little explorer of the world around has plenty to choose from.
• Easy replacement. Due to the presence of sidewalls that stretch, used panties are easy to remove and send in the trash. In the presence of velcro, the process of disposing of the panties becomes easier and more convenient: just roll them into a roller and fasten them with tape covered with a sticky layer.

There are also disadvantages, although not so many. They are as follows:

• if used improperly, diaper rash may occur, allergic reactions may develop (which is also characteristic of incorrect use of classic diapers);
• Absorbing panty cost is higher than a simple diaper.

Among the existing variety of diapers in the form of panties, each mother can choose exactly what is necessary for her child.

The outer side is made of propylene, the elasticity of the product is provided by polyurethane, rubber, materials of synthetic origin. Elastic bands fix panties on the femoral part of the body. Disposable models consist of three layers.

• Internal, adjacent to the skin. Its main task is to absorb the liquid substance, it should not cause allergies.
• The filler is an absorbent material whose main purpose is to transform a liquid into a gel-like substance. It is important that it contains less cellulose and more absorbent in order to better absorb the liquid.
• Outer. Designed to protect against leaks. The material must be dense but air permeable.

In reusable models, the base fabric, which makes it possible to clean the soiled panties with a normal wash, like any other thing. They are fixed on the hips with buttons.

Consist of two layers:

• Interior. It is obliged to provide easy penetration of air and at the same time to carry out protection against moisture. To realize these goals, materials with a porous structure are used, for example, microfiber or velor.
• External. Designed to keep the skin dry, providing urine to the moisture-absorbing liner.

In such underwear there is a pocket for placement of replaceable inserts. The absorbent layer of the liner is made of synthetic, non-allergenic or natural fabric.

For girls, the absorbent layer takes a position from the middle to the rear, which is designed to emit urine in this direction in accordance with the anatomical structure of the girl's urinary system. For boys, the absorbent is located in front, because it is in this direction that urination occurs in the male.

Modern manufacturers offer a wide selection of this product. In this variety it is necessary to determine the criteria that ensure the correct choice of a child's product.

• With the type of model used - it is more expedient to use a disposable or reusable diaper in a particular case. The first is hygienic and more practical than the second. However, reusable, having liners, better helps to cope with the task of mastering the tiny pots. It is also a more economical option due to repeated use.
• Choose a product by size. The manufacturer usually provides relevant information on the packaging. After all, tight panties will rub the delicate skin of the crumbs, and too spacious, with gaps, can leak.

• Pay attention to the material. What materials are used for the manufacture of absorbent children's pants, was considered earlier. However, it should be remembered that some manufacturers in the pursuit of cheaper end product cost may reduce the quality of the product, including polyethylene, which makes the panties airtight, which does not best affect the condition of the baby’s skin. Fixing rezinochki on a belt and in the field of legs should not be narrow and rigid. You should choose products with wide soft rubber bands.
• Pay attention to the availability of additional features. These include the presence of an indicator of fullness in the form of a bar signaling the filling of a hygiene item with liquid. Ease of removing the panties provide bursting sidewalls. Fixing elements coated with a sticky layer for folding used panty ensure the comfort of operation of the subject of children's items.

• then the legs of the baby are placed in these holes and the underwear is pulled on the bottom with a gentle movement;
• Available adhesive tape for disposal is located at the back of the product;
• Putting cowards on the boy, it is recommended to raise his testicles, which is a preventive measure regarding the development of dropsy.

• side seams should be broken;
• from the panties to form a roller;
• to fix it with adhesive tape (if any);
