Comparison Huggies Pants Boy 4 / 104 pcs vs Huggies Ultra Comfort Boy 4 / 66 pcs

— Diapers. In this case, we mean diapers of a classic design — hygienic devices for absorbing moisture (primarily urine) and protecting surrounding items (outerwear, bedding, etc.) from contamination. Such devices, as a rule, cover the pelvic area of the child as much as possible, covering not only the groin, but also the stomach and thighs. Compared to panties, classic diapers are more reliable — in particular, because they can absorb more liquid; their advantages also include suitability for all age categories. At the same time, such a diaper can create inconvenience for an older child when moving and wearing clothes.

— Panties. In full accordance with the name, such devices look more like regular underwear than diapers. They are intended for older children and are created based on the fact that the child usually moves a lot and actively during the day — panties do not restrict movement as much as classic diapers and allow you to put on clothes of a regular cut without any problems. In addition, these products themselves are more convenient to put on, which can be useful, for example, during a trip. Also, the use of panties can be part of the educational process when teaching a baby to use the toilet; some brands are even positioned as "training".

— For swimming. A specific type of diapers, intended, as the name suggests, for being in water — primarily in public swimming pools. Unlik...e other varieties, such products tolerate moisture well, do not swell and do not lose their absorbent properties when in contact with water for a long time. On the other hand, diapers of this type are usually unsuitable for more traditional wearing options — on walks, during sleep, etc.

— For potty training. “Training” pants used during potty training. The main difference between these products and regular diapers is that they do not absorb moisture (although they do retain it inside). This means that if the child pees directly into the pants, he will feel discomfort due to wet diapers. This is the main idea behind such products: with their help, you can very quickly teach the baby that “doing business” directly into the pants is unpleasant and inconvenient, it is better to ask to go to the potty.

— Diapers. Strictly speaking, diapers are not nappies — they are, in fact, hygienic mats. They are intended to provide additional protection for surfaces where the baby is — bedding, changing tables, etc. An example of a situation when such protection may be needed is the procedure of changing a diaper: if an “unpleasant thing” happens during the change, throwing away a disposable diaper will be much easier than washing the changing table, not to mention washing the bedding. In addition, diapers will come in handy when weaning the baby off diapers.

Approximate weight of the child for which diapers are designed. Traditionally, this parameter is one of the key (along with size) when choosing a product for a particular baby. Of course, the weight category indicated on the package is quite approximate — after all, children can vary markedly in physique; at the same time, for most cases, this error is not so large as to seriously affect the correctness of the choice.

The number of nappies in one package. This indicator will allow you to estimate how long a pack will last. At the same time, note that you should not buy a large pack if this brand has not been tested in fact — there is a great risk of throwing money away, because even high-quality nappies may not fit for one reason or another.

The type of fastener provided in the design of the diaper.

— Hook-and-loop. Hook-and-loop is considered the best option for disposable diapers (see "Usage"). These fasteners are inexpensive, easy to use and dispose of, have a very small thickness (due to which they do not create inconvenience for the child), and their reliability is more than sufficient to keep the product “in place” during the entire wearing period. They do not tolerate frequent fastening / unfastening, because. wear out a lot, but this disadvantage is not relevant in this case. As a result of all this, Hook-and-loop is used in the vast majority of modern brands of diapers.

— Buttons. Buttons (like those used in ordinary clothes) are much more secure than Hook-and-loop, but are more expensive and generally very poorly suited for disposable diapers. As a result, this option has not received wide popularity; it is found mainly in reusable models.

The presence in the design of the diaper of a special indicator, signaling the degree of filling. This feature makes it easier to monitor the condition of the diaper and reduces the risk of being late with its replacement — and the latter is fraught not only with pollution of surrounding objects, but also with irritation due to contact of the baby's skin with moisture. The indicator itself usually looks like a clearly visible mark (for example, in the form of a strip) on the outside of the diaper; when moisture fills the absorbent layer and reaches the indicator, under its influence the colour of the mark changes, which is a signal of filling.
