Pampers from Procter & Gamble are not the only diapers that the modern market offers to parents of babies. However, among all the variety, it is these diapers that have gained the greatest popularity. How did they earn worldwide recognition? Are they as safe as the manufacturer promises?

Today, it’s hard to imagine happy motherhood without disposable diapers. Thanks to diapers, women have more free time that they can spend for their own benefit, and caring for the baby becomes more pleasant. But how to choose the right diaper for your baby? Indeed, the variety of brands from different manufacturers is simply impressive. And if experienced parents understand at least something in choosing this hygiene product for children, then couples who first gave birth to a child are often lost in this matter.

Today I want to stop at one of the most popular brands of diapers, and this is Pampers (Pampers) from the company Procter & Gamble. Why are products of this particular brand? Everything is simple: Today, many diapers are called diapers, both disposable and reusable. But diapers (Pampers) - this is one of the brands of disposable diapers, and calling them all diapers is not correct! However, this name of absolutely all diapers is firmly included in our everyday life, and therefore no one pays much attention to this inaccuracy.

There are several types of diapers in the arsenal of the Pampers brand. They differ in price, properties and quality. All diapers have both advantages and disadvantages. Consider their characteristics in more detail.

Pampers Sleep & Play

This type of diaper from Pampers belongs to a number of budget options. Their price is the lowest - a package of 50 diapers (size 4 Maxi) costs between 600-700 rubles. (about 14 rubles apiece). Sizes 2 through 5 are available. According to consumer reviews, Pampers Sleep & Play are quite soft, not thick, absorb moisture well, and are pleasant to the touch. However, there are those who are dissatisfied with the quality of diapers: for some, they leak, others simply did not like it, and for others, an allergy appeared.

So what are Pampers Sleep & Play? For little money we get:

Soft products from a pleasant material that does not rub the baby’s delicate skin. Many mothers agree that the diapers of this series are not soft and thin enough, but for 14 rubles. this option is quite acceptable.
Great product quality. It really is. There are practically no complaints about the quality of diapers.
Good hygroscopicity. They hold and absorb moisture well. However, there are still some complaints: Pampers Sleep & Play sometimes leak, especially loose stools.But these points may not be associated at all with the quality of the products, but, for example, with improper use, sizing or prolonged stay of the child in the diaper, which is why there is simply nowhere to absorb the secretions.

The flip side of the coin is as follows:

allergies often develop on diapers of this type in children, and the reason for this is the impregnation of the diaper components with fragrances and chamomile lotion. After using disposable diapers, some parents notice an unpleasant smell, although for some the aroma of the new diapers seems quite harsh;
diapers “breathe badly”, which is why the baby’s ass is sweating;
absorbs stools for a long time: because of this, the baby's skin is in contact with moisture for a long time, which can provoke irritations on the skin, dermatitis. If you change the diaper immediately after the child has defecated, you will notice that the inside of the Sleep & Play is wet;
uncomfortable Velcro - they do not have a stretching part. There is no elastic at the back of the belt, which is why the diaper is poorly regulated, so you need to take the size by weight of the child. Otherwise, leaks may occur. When the baby is lying on its back, fluid bowel movements can flow out through the upper back of the diaper;
diapers are often torn, as reported by some consumers.

Parents are advised not to use their Pampers Sleep & Play diapers. However, if temporary financial difficulties arose, then this option is quite acceptable.

Pampers Active Baby

This series is slightly more expensive than the previous one - for a pack of 87 pieces (5th size) you will have to pay 1,500-1700 rubles. (about 19 rubles per piece). And it is the price that is considered the main drawback of these diapers. Sizes 3 through 6 are available.

The advantages of the Active Baby products include the following:

soft, well absorb moisture and liquid stool, quite thin: some parents note that Active Baby diapers remain dry until 12 hours, which is what the manufacturer says. However, the second part of consumers claims that Active Baby are creepy. Here such options are possible: either the diaper is not sized to fit, and it can be either small or large, or the consumer has come across a fake, of which there are a huge number in the vast market;
diapers do not crumple and do not deform during the wearing and active movement of the baby, since the products have an anatomical shape. And the double cuffs around the legs protect against leaks, even when the child is as active as possible;
the sidewalls are elastic, which allows you to adjust the Velcro to the desired length. In addition, adjusting the Velcro to the desired length allows you to make wearing a diaper comfortable, as it does not crush the baby’s tummy while eating or actively moving.

The negative qualities of the series, in addition to price, include a sharp smell of products and frequent allergic reactions.

In general, the option is not bad. In addition, in this series for older children there are comfortable diapers-panties. They are easy to put on the baby, they absorb moisture well, do not crumple and do not interfere with the child's active movement.

Pampers Premium Care

According to many parents, the best Pampers range is Premium Care diapers. They are very soft, gentle, well absorb and perfectly breathe. Sizes from 1 to 5 are available. The price is slightly different from previous diapers (for a pack of 104 pieces of the 4th size you will have to pay about 1900-2000 rubles, and this is about 20 rubles per piece), but their high quality justifies such a cost .

Advantages of Pampers Premium Care:

soft, breathable, tender;
have a filling indicator;
up to the 3rd size, on the inside of the diaper there is a net that perfectly lets loose stools. Therefore, the skin of the child with waste products is practically not in contact, which eliminates the appearance of irritation on the delicate skin of the baby. In 4 and 5 sizes, this mesh is absent;
the diapers are snow-white, and from the 4th size they have a purple hue, which is not very popular with many consumers.

Negative points:

high price;
provoke allergic reactions;
Strong smell.

According to user reviews, it becomes clear that the Pampers Premium Care series up to the 3rd size, inclusive, absolutely suits both parents and children. However, something happened with these diapers of sizes 4 and 5: users note that the quality is much worse than the first three sizes, and the smell comes from them harsh and unpleasant.

The Pampers Premium Care Series has panty diapers. And reviews about them are very good. Of the shortcomings, only the high price - for 22 diapers (4 sizes) you need to pay 600-800 rubles. (about 32 rubles for 1 product).

Pampers New Baby-Dray

This series is designed specifically for newborn babies. Pampers New Baby-Dray is available in two sizes - 1 and 2. Size 1 is designed for babies born prematurely or with low weight. Size 2 will fit newborns weighing up to 6 kg.

The cost of New Baby-Dray diapers is very attractive - for a pack of diapers (94 pieces) of the 2nd size you will have to pay about 1100-1200 rubles. (about 14 rubles for 1 diaper). Users note that New Baby-Dray is quite soft, well absorb, and sit securely on the baby. In general, they are better than the Sleep & Play series.

However, New Baby-Dray diapers also have disadvantages:

provoke an allergy;
only 2 sizes;
have a pungent odor;
if you purchase a small pack of diapers, then the cost of them is overpriced.

You can buy any of the options for Pampers diapers in a pharmacy, online market or a specialized store. Such availability makes Pampers diapers in demand among the population of our country. The main thing is to pre-determine the size of the products and their series.

Pampers Active Girl and Active Boy

Designed specifically for separating children by gender, so that babies feel lighter and freer, and there are no chilling inconvenience

Double absorbent layer in front for boys and in the middle for girls;
Elastic inserts on the sides allow you to quickly change the diaper;
A stretching belt for the comfort of the baby, like on real panties;
“Breathable” outer layer;
Bright design especially for boys and girls.

Starting from 8 months, the baby moves so much that it is difficult to keep it in place to change the diaper. The kid loves to play, because it is through the game that he discovers many new, unexpected and exciting things. That's why he so does not want to be distracted. Pampers Active Boy and Active Girl panties stretch on all sides, like real panties, so they can be easily and quickly put on. In addition, these are the only panties with a double absorbent layer, located in front for boys and in the middle for girls - exactly where kids need it most.

The Basic Pros and Cons of Pampers Diapers

As a result of the above, we give the main arguments of a positive nature, why it is worth using diapers.

The use of diapers greatly facilitates the care of the baby. Now long walks or long trips are possible, because you do not need to take a whole heap of clothes with you in case the child does his “dirty deeds” at the most inopportune moment.
Pampers products do not irritate the baby’s delicate skin, they are soft, thin enough and absorb moisture well.
Some models (especially for a series of panties) are very comfortable to wear, they do not deform during the activity of the baby, they do not leak due to double cuffs.

Why do some parents not recommend Pampers brand products?

Too often, diapers of this brand cause allergic reactions in children.
Many parents note that the smell of diapers of any series is too harsh.
Some diapers, especially those related to budget options, do not let air in at all or poorly, creating a greenhouse effect under the diaper. As a result, if you do not change the diaper for a long time, the baby appears diaper rash, irritation, in boys the testicles overheat, which in the future can have a bad effect on men's health, and in girls there is a risk of developing diseases of an infectious nature.

Of course, the last drawback depends on how correctly diapers are used. And if the parents change the baby's diaper on time, giving the baby's skin a rest of at least 20 minutes, then such problems can be avoided.

As you can see, Pampers diapers are represented by many species. Such a wide assortment allows you to choose exactly the products that will suit your baby in quality and price for you. Each series has its own characteristics. However, they have the same disadvantages - allergenicity and pungent smell. Therefore, it is important to initially determine whether the child has a negative reaction to the components of the Pampers diapers and its smell, and only after that should make a purchase.
