Pampers diapers (Pampers): from sources to modern lines

Pampers diapers today are widely known around the world. They are used by millions of families with different income levels. These affordable and quality products are considered essential goods for parents with young children. Pampers were the first diapers in the world and every year they improved in their concept of ideal. The ingenious idea of one grandfather, sitting with his little grandchildren, turned the whole world upside down.

Diapers are all diapers, not just P&G products. Currently, the brand has supplanted the word “diaper”, it has become uncommon.

The history of diapers

Pampers is one of Procter and Gamble's many trademarks. The Pampers assortment has a lot of baby products: from wet wipes to disposable diaper-panties. And like any great invention, diapers appeared as a result of a response to exhausting labor.

In the 1950s, Victor Mills often had to sit with his little grandchildren, and, accordingly, to deal with constantly wet diapers (change, wash, dry). The desire to facilitate his own work, which, to put it mildly, did not bring the man much pleasure, led Victor to the idea of creating diapers for one-time use. The thought of a folded padding capable of absorbing large quantities of liquid had already formed in his head. The author planned to put such a gasket in panties of a special form. Grandfather decided to test the developed first model on his own grandchildren.

This was not the first experience of testing personal inventions on relatives and friends. Then, basically, people brushed their teeth with tooth powder. Mills' relatives were already doing this with toothpaste. Tests of the first diapers on tiny grandchildren confirmed the promise of Victor's ideas. The only thing left was to create a whole batch of diapers to test the reaction of picky Americans. And this reaction actually turned out to be extremely negative, which almost ruined the unique idea at the very beginning of its development.

An attempt to use diapers as disposable diapers in the summer 30-degree heat in the Texas city of Dallas was unsuccessful. Parents of the kids refused the offer to put in some kind of hell on their child some plastic pants. That small percentage of daredevils who agreed to the experiment saw a negative reaction of children's skin - instant irritation. However, these negative results were valuable for the development and improvement of diapers. Development continued.

In the spring of 1959, for the first time, diapers were massively successfully used.At that time, the batch of diapers totaled 37,000 copies. The creators abandoned the dense plastic, making the diapers much softer, and the gasket - more successful in absorbing moisture. Various fixation methods have been proposed: with Velcro and buttons. This time an experiment was conducted in the city of Rochester (New York State). Two-thirds of the tested families voted for push-button diapers. Parents of the babies were pleased with the new diapers, which, in their opinion, were no worse than their diapers, and did not require washing.

Exactly 2 years later, Pampers diapers appeared in US stores. The brand name was given by Alfred Godman. Procter and Gamble Corporation was increasingly loading the capacities of its factories, which produced the world's first diapers. This product was considered truly unique. Products were bought for sale by both food departments of supermarkets and city pharmacies. In 1966, the wings of the famous Pampers disposable diapers appeared, and after 3 years - the third size.

In the early 1970s, Pampers diapers changed a lot:

they replaced the existing pin with a special fastener, and later with Velcro;
in their size series appeared models for newly born babies and premature babies;
the absorption system of the waste products released by the child has significantly improved;
thanks to new technologies, the diapers have a polymer absorbent, which allowed manufacturers to make their diapers thinner (now more diapers were placed in one package);
diapers were supplemented with elastic cuffs that protect against leaks.

Technology and innovation grew, and this development also influenced the improvement of Pampers diapers. There was much to improve the absorption system by reducing the thickness of the diapers, the issue of uniform absorption and distribution of liquid was resolved, unique stretching inserts appeared, and the look of diapers was more and more like ordinary underpants. And finally, diapers became breathable.

At this innovation did not stop. The range of Procter and Gamble replenished with diapers for each stage of child development (according to the weight of the child). Due to the fact that there was simply no such product on the market, the lack of competition allowed Procter and Gamble to come to the ideal product for its consumer both in terms of price and quality of the product. The emphasis was on the main advantages of diapers:

the availability of goods for families with different income levels (each mother will be able to purchase a suitable model for her child);
diapers absorb moisture perfectly, keeping it inside (delicate baby skin always remains dry);
inside each diaper there is a layer comfortable for the baby's skin (this eliminates irritation and redness);
one of the layers in the diaper is saturated with aloe or chamomile, which protect the baby's skin.

PAMPERS (brand history)

Diapers Pampers for newborns

Separate words require a series of Pampers for newborns. Using such diapers, it became incredibly easy for mothers in the first months after giving birth, and for babies it was cozy and comfortable. In the diapers of the New Baby series, the manufacturer tried as much as possible to take into account the whole range of needs of the just born crumbs. But the Premium New Born line appeared relatively recently. Its main differences from its predecessor are as follows:

these diapers are softer and thinner;
elastic inserts on the sides are saturated with aloe juice;
the inner layer looks like a honeycomb to absorb both feces and urine.

Varieties of Diapers Pampers

Diapers made under the Pampers brand can be used not only in the case of newborn babies. A number of series are designed for different groups of children. Among this assortment stand out:

Active Baby series (Active Baby) - designed specifically for children who begin to actively crawl and run (users rated the presence of a very elastic gum, with which the diaper fits snugly against the baby’s body,to prevent leakage during the movement);
Active Girl and Active Boy series - designed specifically to separate children by gender, so that babies feel lighter and freer, and there are no chilling inconveniences;
Pampers sleep & play - made for optimal moisture absorption from 3 unique layers that help protect your baby’s skin as much as possible even in the sharpest and most dynamic movements. In this case, the soft surface promotes skin respiration. Pampers are also equipped with wide fasteners, thanks to which your baby will feel as comfortable as possible. This diaper is able to stretch and contract by 8 cm.

Determine the desired diaper size

To determine the size of the diaper for the child, you just need to carefully look at the packaging. We pay attention to the weight of the baby and, in accordance with this, the size of the diaper. Sizes of only 7: from zero to sixth, - from 3 kilograms to 25 or more. Only at the beginning, it may seem to many mothers that all the diapers are the same (a similar pattern and principle). But with a more detailed examination of diapers from different size ranges, you can see your own characteristics, and it is precisely the correct adherence to the recommended sizes by weight will help to avoid diaper rash and irritations on the skin of the child. The manufacturer insists: all diapers are different.

Pampers diaper consumer reviews

Many moms consider the New born line to be of better quality than the rest of the special series. Parents note that these diapers are softer than others, do not have any unpleasant odor, are equipped with a convenient fastener and definitely do not leak. Most consumers also believe that buying diapers of 30 pieces is not very profitable to buy, but manufacturers do not provide large packages in the line for the smallest children.

As for the elite Premium Care series, not all consumers thought it was ideal.

Angelina, 32 years old: The basis of their diapers personally reminded me of Always pads with imitation cotton. When I removed the wet diaper from the baby, the diaper simply fell into two parts, and the net stuck to the son’s pope. And this happened more than once. I would not say that the diaper is made of natural material. But the Active Baby series seemed to us much more successful. We use it.

Alena, 21 years old: Diapers Pampers I think, in comparison with others, very soft. They have a successful absorbent gel layer, and it keeps the baby dry longer than the cotton layer. These diapers do not rustle at all, which is nice. And the sizes allow you to choose a suitable diaper for any child (even for very large children). It is convenient that you can change from size to subsequent size without jumping. The only bad thing is that there is no rubber band on the back. Because of this, leaks sometimes occur (especially in girls). But I think that this is a very profitable product.

marinaka: pampers sleep & play. When the baby was supposed to appear, we purchased expensive diapers, but he had an allergy to them, a rash. We tried a different brand, as well - an allergy. When we tried pampers sleep & play diapers, the skin stopped blushing, and it was convenient for both parents (reusable clasp) and dry skin for the baby. Nevertheless, we tried to use diapers as little as possible. Dressed only for the night. What is another huge advantage that they really absorb moisture and retain, without allowing moisture to disturb the delicate baby skin. Therefore, when once we slept all night and forgot to change diapers, the baby slept calmly and his skin was dry. In addition, these diapers can be worn by both boys and girls, since both will be equally comfortable. And the price is relatively low in relation to other products for children.

Pampers diapers have been pioneers in this area of baby products and still hold the highest rating among buyers.
