The need for diapers has been around since the beginning of time. Throughout history, parents have created various versions of diapers using a wide range of materials, depending on the natural resources available. It wasn't until the 1950's that the disposable diaper came into being as we know it today. Today there are several diaper brands available that have taken great strides since the diapers beginning. Technological advances in materials used have taken the disposable diaper to a whole new level. In this article, I'll give an overview of the top 5 brands of diapers available.
Pampers is a diaper brand that is the most widely known. It was introduced by Procter & Gamble back in 1961 and paved the way for a whole new category of baby products. Pampers has steadily maintained its leadership role in the diaper industry by providing several innovations including a lotion top sheet that protects a baby's skin and a rash guard diaper which is designed to help treat and prevent diaper rash. Pampers product line includes Swaddlers, Custom_Fit Cruisers and Baby-Dry with Quick-Grips.
Huggies is the second leading diaper brand and is a market innovator as well. Over the years, they have continuously evolved with new diaper products to meet the changing needs. This brand of diaper has made several innovative improvements to provide extra comfort, a more natural fit, reduced diaper rash and improved overall skin wellness. These innovations and benefits can be found in their wide product array including the Huggies Supreme diapers, OverNites, Supreme Gentle Care and Natural Fit.
Luvs diapers are another superb quality brand of diapers offering great leakage protection that they back with a satisfaction guarantee. Their diapers feel soft and smell fresh, are very absorbent without a lot of bulk, and added elastic features to make it fit nicely to your baby.
Seventh Generation is one of the few alternative diaper brands that has recently gained popularity by the environmentally conscious. This diaper product is chlorine free. They are also non-toxic and not irritating to a baby's skin. Not only are these chlorine free diapers less harmful to the environment, but they are also gentler to a baby's sensitive skin.
gDiapers are the last diaper brand I'd like to highlight. This baby product is very Earth friendly in that it is a flushable diaper. This is possible because they are made up of biodegradable ingredients that break down in years, not centuries. This alternative disposable diaper brand offers a lot of convenience, less smell, less garbage and no guilt.
To find out which brand of diaper is best for your baby, I recommend you try samples of each. There is also a wealth of information and parent groups on the Internet that discuss all the brands above. Keep in mind, a diaper that is suitable for others might not fit your baby's requirements.
