How to choose the right disposable nappies for your baby?

Choose the best disposable diapers for newborns and older babies according to your preferred type of closure and the size determined by your child’s weight and age. Individual sizes might differ across manufacturers, so make sure to always check the weight range on the packaging. In general, a disposable nappy should always cling tightly to your baby’s bottom and legs without causing too much pressure or restricting movement.

Types of disposable nappies

• Classic disposable diapers with stretchy closure on the sides provide maximum comfort in the daytime or at night.
• Disposable nappy pants are pull-on nappies you can easily put on and take off. They’re ideal when you need to potty train your baby or teach them to use a regular toilet.
• Disposable swimming nappies are a special type of single-use nappies that don’t increase in size when submerged in water. They perfectly absorb liquid and prevent it from leaking out. If you like to swim with your baby, these nappies are an ideal solution.
• Eco-friendly disposable nappies are made of biodegradable materials that are gentler on the environment. They have a lovely texture similar to cloth nappies, plus they’re very breathable. These nappies are great for children with sensitive skin.

Our tip: Wet baby wipes are a great product you can use while changing your baby – they’re gentle on your child’s sensitive skin and clean it without a need for water. You can also pack some disposable changing mats that will keep your child perfectly comfortable during changing.

Cloth vs. disposable diapers

Cloth nappies are a good alternative to disposable nappies. Using them on a regular basis saves money, plus they’re more environmentally friendly. Cloth nappies might be initially more expensive and it takes a little practice to use them correctly, but they’re great for home use. However, a cloth nappy can be quite cumbersome when you’re out and about and need to change your baby quickly, which is why you should always pack some disposable nappies to keep your baby happy wherever you are.
