the "gender" of diapers is due to the difference in the structure of the genitourinary system in
girls and
boys, and, accordingly, differences in urination: boys "irrigate" mainly the front of the diaper, girls — the bottom and back. Accordingly, specialized brands differ in the distribution of the absorbent. At the same time, there are "
unisex " models that are equally well suited for children of any gender; in them, the absorbent layer is distributed evenly over the entire lower surface, and its composition is selected in such a way as to ensure normal retention of the liquid, regardless of the place of its entry.
Note that from a practical point of view there is no fundamental difference between specialized brands and "unisex". With proper quality, both diapers work equally well, and their suitability is influenced by other factors not related to gender: ease of wearing, lack of allergic reactions, etc. So when choosing, you should not pay much attention to this parameter — just make sure that the desired brand does not belong to another gender.
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.
