Pampers diapers are one of the most highly-respected diaper brands on the market. Many new parents try Pampers on the baby and find no reason to ever switch to a different brand. Known for high comfortability and an excellent sponge factor (for absorbing moisture), Pampers are widely-considered the first and last stop for many parents with new infants and small children. I have tried many diaper brands with my children and can provide you with a bit of insight from my experience with Pampers diapers, including their BabyDry, Swaddlers and Cruisers brands.
How Well Do Pampers Diapers Keep Your Baby Dry?
Arguably, sponge factor is one of the most important considerations when deciding which diaper to buy for your baby. In my experience (and I've tried a few different Pampers brands), their ability to prevent leakage is unmatched by nearly all other diaper brands. The BabyDry brand is named for the way it absorbs moisture, keeps your baby dry and prevents waste material from leaking. Cruisers and Swaddlers also have a high absorption factor. This is key because your baby may pee a few times before you're able to check him or her. If the diaper you're using isn't able to absorb the moisture, your baby could develop a rash. Pampers diapers outshine most other diaper brands here.
Will Your Baby Be Comfortable In Pampers?
A couple of the Pampers brands are more comfortable for your child than other brands depending on your baby's age and how much crawling or walking they're doing. BabyDry diapers are great for new infants. They have a cloth-like feel to them and are extremely comfortable on the sensitive skin of young babies. If your baby is under four months old, you may want to consider using the Swaddlers brand.
They use tabs that stretch so you can adjust the tightness of the diaper around your baby's form. If your baby is over 6 months old, Cruisers can be ideal because they they use elastic flaps in the back with wide sides. This provides comfort and stretching for babies that are beginning to crawl and even walk.
Possible Drawbacks To Using Pampers
Some parents have claimed that Pampers diapers have a tendency to sag in the front when there is moisture present, giving the impression that the diaper should be changed. I have noticed this a few times, but have never had the impression that the diaper should be changed. With experience, parents can simply do the "squish" test and know whether a diaper needs changing. Personally, I don't consider this a drawback but it's worth mentioning. Also, the brand come with a scent that covers bad odors. The scent is strong. While I don't find it overpowering, others disagree, again making it worth mentioning.
Are Pampers Really Worth The Price?
Pampers are expensive. And if you end up changing your baby's diapers often, the cost of using the brand may outweigh the benefits. However, in my opinion and experience, Pampers were one of the most reliable diaper brands I've used. They provide a lot of comfort and excellent absorption. If you search online, you may be able to find a way to get the diapers for a bargain, making them a great diaper choice for your child.
