What types of nappies are available and how do I choose the right one?

When it comes to choosing the right nappies (also known as diapers) for your baby, the market offers a wide range of options designed to meet different needs and preferences. Understanding the various features and types of nappies can help parents make an informed choice.

Disposable vs re-usable nappies

Nappies generally come in two main types: disposable and cloth (re-usable, cleaned in the washing machine). Disposable nappies are convenient, highly absorbent, and designed for one-time use before being discarded. They are made from layers of materials that include a moisture-wicking top sheet, an absorbent core, and a waterproof outer layer. These nappies are known for their ease of use and effectiveness in keeping moisture away from a baby's skin, which helps prevent diaper rash.

Cloth nappies, on the other hand, are reusable and can be made from natural materials such as cotton, bamboo, or hemp. They are considered environmentally friendly due to their reusability and the absence of chemicals often found in disposable nappies. Cloth nappies require regular laundering but offer customizable absorbency and fewer skin irritations for some babies.

Different brands, different sizes, different features & environmental impact

Within these two categories, nappies also vary in terms of size, fit, and special features. Sizes are typically based on a baby's weight and ensure that the nappy fits comfortably without leaking. Many brands also offer special designs for different stages of a baby’s development, such as extra-stretchy sides or movable tabs to accommodate active babies.

Another consideration is the nappy’s impact on sensitive skin. Some nappies are infused with soothing aloe or vitamin E, while others are hypoallergenic and free from perfumes, latex, and chlorine, making them ideal for babies with delicate skin.

For nighttime use, some nappies are specifically designed to provide extra absorbency and protection to help keep a sleeping baby dry and comfortable throughout the night.

In terms of environmental impact, beyond traditional cloth options, there are eco-friendly disposable nappies that are made using sustainable practices and biodegradable materials, lessening their environmental footprint.

What to consider when choosing nappies

When selecting a nappy, parents should consider factors such as absorbency, skin sensitivity, environmental impact, and of course, their own lifestyle needs. The wide array of nappy choices ensures that there is something suitable for every baby and every family.
