The diapers absorb more but less protection skin

The disposable nappy are more comfortable, but their absorption capacity is lower than that of conventional diapers are more expensive. It is said that Eskimos wrapped their babies in seal skins stuffed with moss, American Indians and the Incas made use of rabbit skins stuffed with grass and American pioneers used for the same purpose cotton cloth that does not wash: only left to dry by the fire. No wonder that the cellulose disposable diaper that appeared in Sweden in the forties was a revolution for its comfort and hygiene. Over time, the cellulose has been replaced by sodium polyacrylate, a substance with remarkable properties: in contact with a liquid does not dissolve but absorbs it and becomes a kind of gel.

A conventional diapers have been joined in recent years, the disposable nappy (also the same material), which was not taped, they support through a flexible waistband. Are placed as a choker, so are ideal for learning to potty: they go up and down easily if the child "asks" to go to the service, and no fear that an "oversight" stain her clothes. That yes, they are on average 30% more expensive than conventional diapers even though there seems to be nothing in its composition, structure or manufacture to justify the premium. In addition, some educators reject its use because it can prolong the time of change from diapers to underwear conventional and confuse the little ones, who do not perceive clearly whether or not to take diaper.

Were analyzed in the laboratory three samples and three disposable nappy diapers in size 5 or L (for children weighing between 13 and 20 kilos) which cost from € 0.22 per unit of Huggies diapers to 0 , 37 euros of disposable nappy for Dodot. They are recommended for children in the later stages of diaper. They are used interchangeably for both sexes, except for Huggies disposable nappy, which have a specific product for girls and another for children. The best value for money Huggies diapers are the cheapest (22 cents per diaper), and satisfactory overall quality. Another interesting option is diapers Dodot Plus Activity, which although are more expensive (30 cents), are of better quality. As for the disposable nappy, Stages Dodot Liberty Plus is the best choice because of its high quality and priced similar to those of Huggies.
Specifications

The lighter and thinner diapers are more comfortable for babies. The heaviest are the disposable nappy to Dodot, with 45 grams less weight and diapers Dodot Flexible Adjustment (36.8 g) and Huggies disposable nappy girls (38.2 g). As the thickness, the finest are the two of Huggies disposable nappy (8.1 mm) and thicker the disposable nappy to Dodot (10.5 mm). The estimated size of the diaper side without stretching your settings. The smaller the disposable nappy to Dodot (47.8 x 18.3 cm), and the largest were the diapers Dodot Flexible Adjustment (51.3 x 23.7 cm) and Huggies (51.8 x 23.2 cm). But as important as the total size of the diaper is absorbent pad surface: the larger Dodot Plus Activity (44.7 x 11.2 cm) and less absorbent surface of the disposable nappy Dodot (42.5 x 8 , 9 cm), followed by Huggies diapers (40.5 x 9.5 cm). What amount of absorbent material containing the cushion? The subject disposable nappy have more conventional absorbent diapers. Huggies Points child (15.4 grams, rather than the child version, which only has 12.3 grams). The least offered is the Flexible Adjustment Dodot diaper (10.7 g). The conventional diaper more absorbent material is Dodot Plus Activity (12.8 g).A diaper in the crotch width hinders the first steps. The disposable nappy are designed to be used when children walk, so they are narrower in the crotch which conventional diapers: disposable nappy three are around 16.5 cm, while diapers are moved between 22 and 23 centimeters.

Babies dummies instead of diapers

Given the difficulty of measuring in a real environment the effectiveness of diapers, started a test using dummies baby boy and girl that delivered over diapers a liquid that simulated urine. The test was to pour the liquid until it produced the first leak. The tests were conducted in two cycles in which the dummy moved as a child would: day (change of position between sitting, standing and side) and night (belly, side and back). In all tests the diaper Dodot Activity Plus was the best, and Huggies disposable nappy the more modest results. The diapers are better able to absorb the disposable nappy. On average, the absorption capacity Dodot Activity Plus, the best, is 409 milliliters, while the Huggies disposable nappy girl just came to 278 milliliters and 297 milliliters child.

A good diaper should protect baby's skin. So when the liquid had overflowed moisture was measured in the area that was in contact with the dummy. A higher percentage of moisture in contact indicates that the skin is dry. On average, Huggies disposable nappy girls (93% protection at contact) was the most protection and Huggies diapers (64%), the worst result. In detail, the better for children during the day was the disposable nappy Dodot (93%) and the worst results Dodot Plus Activity diaper (41%). As the girls (also the day) the best was the Huggies disposable nappy (98%) and less convincing results of Huggies diapers (39%).

At night. the best optio for diapers

In the night the disposable nappy Dodot test (97%) showed a better protection for children in contact while for girls the best were Dodot Plus Activity (92%) and Flexible Adjustment Dodot (92%). The best products were the diaper activity Dodot Plus and Liberty Plus Stages Dodot disposable nappy, which reached the "very satisfactory." The Huggies disposable nappy girl and Huggies diapers and flexible adjustment Dodot stages remained in "satisfactory", while the disposable nappy Huggies child did not pass the "right." The adhesives tested. One of the most frequent complaints in these products is that the adhesive strips do not stick as they should. Adhesives diapers are similar to the Velcro strips that can be adjusted and drop repeatedly. They consist of two small bands on the sides of the back that attach themselves to a wide band at the front of the diaper.

The best diapers are held by an elastic band, not a sticker

The disposable nappy do not need them because the subject is achieved with an elastic band, which tests have shown that in all cases not enough subject. The two diapers Dodot adhesives have smaller while those of Huggies are the largest. Additionally, Huggies adhesives are more resistant (especially the crawling motions and steps) and the easiest to hit and take off. To measure the effectiveness of the tested adhesive force was needed to paste it and remove it by pulling from 90 º, that is, as would a father or a mother to put it. The value should be half, because a very strong adhesive is inconvenient to remove and a very weak non-attached in an appropriate manner. The paste is easier Huggies diaper (0.22 decanewton (daN). As for the easiest to take off, the only one who gets approved is the Huggies diaper. Other than 0.3 daN, value recommended maximums. Dodot Flexible Adjustment (0.55 daN) is the most difficult diaper off.

Also measured whether the tapes lost effectiveness after hitting and off several times. Huggies was even better after the first and second use. This is not lost on his ability to stick stuck and off. Both of Dodot were slightly worse after the first use, but also approved. The trial of strength at 180 º measures the behavior of the adhesives to the movements of a baby. The adhesives were more resistant to Huggies (4.5 daN) and those taking off those Dodot easier Activity Plus (3.2 daN). Huggies was also the weakest because the tapes were those uprooted more easily. The stickers are not disposable nappy. They measured the force required to break the welds on the side. The most resistant was the child Huggies (5.6 daN) while the Liberty Plus Dodot was the flimsiest (2.1 daN).

* We have analyzed in the laboratory three samples and three disposable nappy diapers for boys and girls in the final stages of use of these products. They cost from € 0.22 per unit of Huggies diapers up to 0.37 euros from Dodot the disposable nappy. The disposable nappy are, on average, 30% more expensive and are indicated for the time when children learn to go to the toilet because they can be downloaded as a choker.
* The disposable nappy are better protecting the skin of infants (the humidity is less contact) but they absorb less liquid than conventional disposable diapers despite having more absorbent material. There were no significant sex differences, that is, in unisex disposable nappy diapers and are no better for one sex than another.
* Within each type (diapers and disposable nappy) no difference in the width of the crotch (which could hinder the first steps) and there are only in their size and weight.
* The six beat quality tests they have undergone, but with differences: the waist of the disposable nappy is more elastic Dodot welds Huggies disposable nappy of the most resistant child. As adhesives diapers, Huggies were the best because they are more resistant and easier to install and remove.
* The disposable nappy and diaper of Dodot Dodot Activity Steps Plus are the only ones that reach the "very satisfactory" in overall quality. We are flexible adjustment Dodot stages, the Huggies diapers and Huggies disposable nappy girl, with a "satisfactory."
* The Huggies disposable nappy child does not pass the "right."
* The best value for money are Huggies diapers, cheaper and with a satisfactory overall quality, although Dodot Activity, more expensive, are of better quality.
* The Liberty Plus Stages Dodot disposable nappy is the best choice because of its high quality and priced similar to those of Huggies.

Organic nappies disposable diapers

There is a whole range of cloth diapers and biodegradable disposables, although we can not ensure that they are as green and good as its proponents claim. Disposable diapers were introduced in the market in 1961 by the Procter & Gamble, brought comfort to millions of homes around the world. However, disposable diapers are made of a commercial fibers and plastics that can take 500 years to decompose, according to the environmental organization Friends of the Earth. Cloth diaper brand Bumpy. As a green alternative, you can find on the market of varying quality washable nappies. According to its producers, this type of diapers used panties waterproof breathable materials that absorb as much as disposable diapers. Also, ensure that these diapers do not occur any irritation or intolerance of commercial diapers, to avoid skin contact with chemicals and to maintain an adequate temperature in the diaper area.

The economic cost of these diapers washable seems to agree with their consumers

The economic cost of these diapers washable also seems to agree with their consumers: Spending in disposable diapers for one child for two years can make around 1,400 euros, while the washable nappies can cost around 600 euros, with a lifespan of 5 to 6 years. In addition, savings will be much greater if you have a second child. Finally, when it ignores them, to be easily degraded cotton without damaging the environment.
However, although the use of these organic diapers may seem highly desirable, a report by the British Environment Agency, conducted in 2005 concluded that both types of diapers spend in different ways and at different times huge amounts of resources. Defenders of these cloth diapers also argue that the time needed to keep them clean is not so much as it sounds, although some users say their equal and just finally preferring disposables. In this sense, another possibility is the use of disposable organic, made from biodegradable organic tissue, and in some cases, compostable. However, these products use many resources in their manufacture, they are a very economical solution and are not always suitable for children.

For its part, the disposable diaper companies, aware that green consumers is growing, increasingly introduced improvements in its products in that line. For example, chlorine used for bleaching diapers has been reduced and some countries like the United States have diaper recycling campaigns. Furthermore, some brands of diapers, as the Danish Abena guarantee respect for the environment by using recyclable plastic and paper cutting controlled Scandinavian forests. Likewise, companies develop commercial diaper several projects to improve the technical and economic capacity of recycling of pulp and plastic. For their part, some specialized scientific equipment for recycling waste are also considering various methods, some of them rare: Researchers at the Autonomous Metropolitan University of Mexico have experimented with a technology that uses a type of commercial mushrooms recycled diapers feeding on cellulose.

However, some experts believe that the economic potential of these technologies are very small, because the separation of the products used is a high cost. Moreover, they add, also found environmental benefits to justify a separate recycling of absorbent hygiene. In short, although it is not clear what the best option, the consumer can make a more sustainable use of diapers of any kind whatsoever. Spain Diapers greener. In Spain there is a market, though small, organic baby products including diapers, which can be found in specialty stores and especially online. In most cases, the products come through organic market countries with more developed than the Spanish, like Britain or Germany. Thus, green stores and websites specializing in organic and natural child rearing, as Green Baby, Natural Parenting, Ecopeque or Happy Bear, among others, sell various brands of cotton diapers, absorbent pads, panties waterproof and various accessories as converters, mattress, blankets, organic cotton towels, etc.
