Diapers Libero
This brand has a good economical model “Every Day”, which in softness is very similar to Japanese diapers. Pay attention to the presence of a feather on the package. So, a variant of these diapers, which include polyethylene, may come across. The pack is almost the same, but the feather is missing.
Each of these diaper manufacturers has their fans and happy customers, their frustrated customers and dissatisfied consumers. And what diapers for your child do you choose?
A few simple rules for buying diapers
Buy products that are appropriate for the weight and age of the baby. It is better to focus on the lower figure of the weight indicated on the pack of diapers. For example, if a child weighs 3.5-4 kilograms, it is better to try on diapers for 4-9 kilograms than to carry diapers from 2 to 5 kilograms to the end. But, of course, it’s easier and more reliable to focus on the baby’s skin after diapers: if there are characteristic redness, rubbing or deep traces of gum, then it’s time to change the size!

Reviews of mothers of babies about diapers for newborns
Irina, 22 years old. We use exclusively Pampers diapers. The first pack was given as a gift even in the hospital, and then they themselves began to buy them. They have a very comfortable mesh (liquid stool is well absorbed). For newborns - this is what you need. I consider NewBorn the best. But we quickly grew out of them and had to give the rest to girlfriends.
Yana, 30 years old. I like Haggis diapers more. Pampers, it seems, are also quite good, but Haggis seemed to me a little softer, softer, or something. My son was born a great friend, so we immediately took diapers 3-6 kg. They are cool! After them, I didn’t want to take anything and change anything. And the quality is excellent, and the price, compared with others, is normal.
Alina, 35 years old. Haggis did not suit us. They were constantly glued, and the gel went straight to the causal place of the small! I did not like the quality, and moisture is not evenly distributed in them. But when they moved to Pampers, everything suited me. It grabs one diaper for a long time, the priest does not hesitate, and everything is absorbed perfectly. My daughter even started to sleep normally ... They are even pleasant to hold in her hands, smooth.
Tatyana, 28 years old. We used Libero for the first time. Quite normal diapers. Although my personal opinion is that diapers should be used only in extreme cases (clinic, walking, well, sometimes, sleep). It’s better not to accustom children to them.
Julia, 21 years old. I heard so many positive reviews about Pampers, what exactly they decided to buy for their son after birth. And here is such a disappointment ... In general, I did not like them. For two days of use, the small one had all kinds of diaper rash, redness. After that, we decided with my husband not to save on the health of the child and tried to take the expensive Japanese Merries. Over the week, it became clear that these are not ideal. At us they stupidly leaked. The new purchase was in favor of the Taiwanese Sealer. And it was really super! They breathe, absorb everything, do not leak and mega-soft. I recommend to everyone.
Svetlana, 41 years old. We only bought Blueberry. I consider them the best. Nothing flows, no diaper rash. Later, they took panties of the same brand - and quickly accustomed the child to the potty.
Eve, 22 years old. I take only Japanese manufacturers! Merries or Mooney. They are optimal in quality. No Pampers and Haggis will replace them. The price, of course, may bite for someone, but the child is calm and sleeps well. And I'm with him.
Anna, 32 years old. And we immediately bought Goon. I consider them the best.I have no complaints about them. And soft, and gentle, and the priest breathes. We don’t buy any cream or powder with them at all. There is only one minus in them - the price.
Elena, 34 years old. Haggis is just awful. The texture is such that it is made of cardboard. Absorb disgusting. The daughter’s butt was constantly wet. And if in a big way it goes, then in general it’s horror - all this creeps out through the belt. Now I take only Pampers. Molfix is also not bad and cheaper.

Diaper Selection (Moony / Merries / Libero / Huggies / Pampers)
I chose the Haggis for my child. Excellent diapers that do not cause skin irritation and are not wet. One minus (by the way, for all manufacturers) - they are not designed for small children. My was born 2.7 and all the diapers were her big, the first month leaked. It's time to make a series for small newborns.
By the way, “Haggis” also has a newborn series, with a navel cutout. Therefore, they chose them initially.
I do not treat disposable diapers very well and try not to put them on the child unnecessarily. It is better to wash the diapers than to treat a child from diaper rash or other muck. Usually I take Huggies, and when we go somewhere and there is no way to change the diapers.
We buy Dada Take On TOYS-KIEV resembles us cheaply and angrily)
The last six months I have been buying my daughter only Helen Harper Soft & Dry diapers. Sometimes I tried diapers from other manufacturers, but in the end, I returned to these. For such a modest price (9 p a little thing) of this quality no one else has. They absorb very well, there has never been such a thing that they have leaked (most importantly, change on time) and then everything will be super!
I prefer to use Libero diapers only. Diapers sit perfectly on the baby's ass, and also do not fall. The good news is that diapers have never leaked during their entire use. At the expense of the price, it is quite acceptable - not high and not low, in general, average. The diapers are comfortable and soft, which means that the child does not rub anything there.
I liked Libero the most. Now we wear 5, and then only at night, but I did not begin to change them - they are happy with everything. It is cheaper and cheaper, but Libero absorbs unpleasant odors and does not hang lump between the legs, it’s really convenient for the child to walk in them. In the summer, people still dressed for safety in the street, so it’s not even clear that the child is in diapers! In general, almost two years without leaks and incidents they were attributed!
We used different diapers, in the end we decided to stop at Libero, because the price and quality perfectly match each other. Libero has very soft pods, the child is comfortable enough in them, they absorb moisture perfectly. While we use them, we do not want to change the brand in the near future. Also, libero panties have proven themselves very well, thin and do not hamper the movements of the child.
We are now using Russian Mepsi, a good option. A pack of 60 large pieces for newborns for the stock cost 590 rubles. I bought and am satisfied. Often I get them on stocks. then In the Daughters-sons, then in the Children's World, then on Ozone I take it constantly.
And I prefer to buy Libero diapers, which are best for my baby. From these diapers there is no irritation and does not rub anything anywhere, which is very important for the child. I like that diapers do not leak at all and most importantly, that they allow the skin to breathe. Good and reliable diapers for which it is not a pity to spend money. Recommend!
There are many good diapers, but for my crumbs Libero diapers are best suited. They arranged for me for the price, because it is important for me, and of course it is a very important point that they do not leak. The babies sit well on the ass and the skin is not rubbed anywhere. Diapers are also economical and one diaper is enough for one night. Baby is comfortable in Libero.
I choose Libero and buy them for several years. I bought it for my son before, and now for my daughter. I like the excellent quality of diapers + they are not expensive. There was never an annoyance in any kid, which is very pleasing. I like that children are comfortable in diapers (they are soft and light). Absorb moisture very well. And I don’t know what to call a minus)
I also join the opinion of most mothers and say that Libero's diapers are the most reliable in terms of leaks (they do not leak at all, which is very important). Less now you have to wash the bedding and other clothes)) Diapers are comfortable and do not slip when the child is actively moving. There was also no irritation from the diapers and the skin does not tarnish.
And I like Japanese diapers. Unfortunately, neither libero nor haggis approached us. There was a sweat on the ass and pimples ((Apparently an allergy. I liked Merris, but then I tried moony and settled on them. They sat perfectly! They fit the ass so well, but at the same time, they do not rub anywhere and the elastic bands are tender! They haven’t leaked once, we stopped at them.
