Types of Pampers
New Baby
– Size 0 to 3
– From 1 to 9 kilo
The ‘New Baby’ is an extra absorbent Pampers to better absorb baby’s thin poop. Did you know that babies have thinner poop due to breastfeeding? In addition, this nappy has a small cut-out under the navel. This ensures that the navel stump can dry properly during the first few days.
New Baby Sensitive
Most newborn babies have a very sensitive skin and often get eczema around the place where the Pamper fits. That is why there is also a ‘sensitive variant’. The nappy contains extra skin-caring ingredients and is much softer.
Pampers Baby Dry
– Size 2 to 6
– From 3 to 30 kilo
The absorbent part is divided into 3 parts made of micro pearls. This ensures that the moisture is distributed and that is why this is one of the most absorbent Pamper types. Moreover, the nappy does not become heavy very quickly and in the outer material there are pores, so that the vapour does not stay in the nappy.
The fabric feels just like cotton, but it is not made of cotton at all (that was the aim of Pampers).
Baby Dry Pants
These Pampers are the only nappy pants that the brand has in its range. The Baby Dry Pants have an elastic band instead of an adhesive strip. It is a bit like pants. When your baby starts to get more active and can no longer sit still, this Pamper is highly recommended. It is also useful when your child is potty trained.
Pampers Active Fit
– Size 4 to 6
– From 8 to 30 kilos
Does your baby never sit still? Then choose Pampers Active Fit. This Pampers hangs less between the legs and is therefore less in the way. The fit is also better on the buttocks, back and legs.
Pampers Sleep & Play
– Size 3 to 5
– From 5 to 23 kilo
The Sleep & Play Pampers is the budget variant of the brand. This nappy does not have 3 absorbent layers or the cotton feel. But they are the cheapest the brand offers. If you have a limited budget, this is definitely a good choice. For 3 packs of 34 you pay 10 euros while you can only buy 1 pack of the Baby Dry with that money.
Pampers Premium Protection
– Size 3 to 6
– From 5 to 30 kilo
– Available in different sizes
Pampers says it should provide the best protection for baby’s bottom because of its softness and urine indicator. When the yellow indicator strip, which runs across the bottom of the pamphlet, turns blue, you know the pamphlet is wet. The indicator makes parents’ lives a lot easier, now you never have to open nappies unnecessarily.
