Nappy pads or nappy inserts are a very useful accessory in the entire diapering process.
Research suggest , of all the expense parents incur on buying things for the baby, 70% of that is on diapers. Diapers are the single largest most wasteful expense a parent does, yet is is the most important. Because a single incidence of a rash can trigger a plethora of disorders that you would have to take care of for a long time. Or a constantly leaky diaper can disrupt crucial sleep and rest , both for the mother and the baby , which would hamper their growth and recovery respectively.
This is why Nappy Pads are extremely important. Most of the Indian mothers are already "hybrid" in their diapering journey. Which means they already use a combination of cloth and disposable diapers. Nappy pads come handy in both these scenarios. Nappy pads make cloth diapering more convenient, and they also make disposable diapers more affordable.
Nappy pad inserts come in different shapes sizes and forms. Here are a few easily available in India:
Cloth Diaper Inserts
There are several types of cloth diaper inserts that mothers can use , based on their preference and choices.
Microfiber Cloth Diaper Inserts
Most common and affordable are the microfiber inserts. Microfiber is a fabric that is made from polyester, and is extremely light weight. It can hold a lot of moisture and is commonly used in cloth diaper inserts. Most cloth diaper inserts use several layers of microfiber to make the insert absorbent. However microfiber due to its dry, synthetic nature cannot be used directly against the babys skin. Microfiber tends to dry the babys skin and lead to rashes, allergies hence the top layer of inserts is always cotton or some natural fabric. Microfiber also attaches itself with soaps and hard water salts. Hence these inserts tend to leak after several washes and become less absorbent.
Poly Cotton Cloth Diaper or Hybrid Diaper Inserts
Nappies are a more form of an under pant made of soft material and draped around the baby’s bottoms for absorbing the urine and the stool.
Nappies can be used for newborn babies and are available in several varieties and fabrics, cotton being the most used one as it is soft and comfortable for the baby as it is more breathable and easier to maintain but needs a lot of washing so disposable nappies or using nappy liners or pads is a viable solution.
Nappy Pads
Nappy pads are more a form of a disposable diaper that can be replaced as it gets full. In case the nappy pads are used, the baby’s bottoms are clean and do not get wet and can absorb more than just the cotton nappy.
When used by newborns, the need to be replaced several times as they are fed at one to three hours of intervals, they tend to pee and poo numerous times. These pads can be bought as per the baby’s weight mentioned on boxes, depending on S, M, L, XL. These liners with an adhesive coating can be attached to underpants and are comfortable since it does not move and allow the baby to enjoy.
