Important information when buying diapers
Differences in size and packaging
First compare the weight ranges: the Kruidvat option here is size 2, while both Pampers options are size 1. All three have a wetness indicator. Both Kruidvat Pure & Soft and Pampers Harmonie state that they have no added fragrance or lotion. These features are therefore not exclusive to one tier.
Would you also like to try cloth diapers?
Cloth diapers are an alternative to the disposable options above. Compare fit, fastening, separate inserts and what you need for washing and drying. A small trial set helps you discover whether they suit your daily routine.
Before buying, check the care instructions and whether any covers come with the diaper. Include washing and drying time in your decision. You do not need to replace your entire supply at once.
Check the fit with every size
After fastening the nappy, slide a finger around the leg opening and smooth the edges outwards. At each change, look for deep marks, gaps and places where stool or urine has leaked.
A larger size is not always the answer. Brands have different shapes, so another model for the same weight may sometimes fit better.
Care for the skin at every change
Thuisarts.nl advises changing to a clean nappy often and removing a soiled nappy promptly. Clean the skin gently with lukewarm water or wipes without fragrance or alcohol, and pat rather than rubbing hard.
If nappy rash gets worse and your child cries a lot, Thuisarts.nl advises making an appointment with your GP. A different nappy is not a treatment for a possible infection.
Best diapers: which suit your family?
The Kruidvat Pure & Soft shown here is size 2 for 3 to 6 kilos. Both Pampers versions are size 1 for 2 to 5 kilos. Pure & Soft and Harmonie state that they have no added fragrance or lotion. Try the fit with a small pack before buying a large box.
