There are several options for changing baby diapers. Seperately, they are disposable non woven diapers, cloth diapers and washable diapers. There is a debate about which option is best for your baby and environment. You may have noticed that when purchasing adult diapers or any diapers, retailers or manufacturers will refer to “non-woven fabrics”. At present, it is not clear whether the impact of cloth washing and diapers on the environment is greater than that of throwing disposable items into the landfill. No matter which option you choose, you should consider several factors.
What Are Non-woven Diapers?
Definition of non woven diapers
Nonwoven diapers simply mean that the internal materials contacting the skin are similar to gauze, rather than woven like traditional fabrics. This is because the liquid can quickly flow through it and reach the absorption layer of the diaper. This makes the nonwoven layer dry and clean, so it is more comfortable for sensitive skin. Nowadays, even if not all disposable baby diapers are non-woven. After all, who wants wet diapers as an option.
How nonwoven layer made?
The nonwoven layer is made of fine synthetic fibers interwoven into fabrics. One of the main materials of synthetic fiber used for disposable diapers is polypropylene. The fabric used in the nonwoven layer is distinguished from ordinary fabric, paper or film in a unique way.
Types Of Babies Diapers
Disposable nonwoven diapers
There is no doubt that disposable diapers are the most convenient choice. Nonwoven fabrics are used in disposable diapers because they are good at absorbing water and are soft to the skin. You don’t have to deal with washing, nailing or inserting. However, disposable diapers can be filled with chemicals and other potentially harmful ingredients. These composition is such as dyes, spices, plastics, chlorine bleach and polymer gel (sodium polyacrylate).
Flushable diapers
washable diapers, also called flushable diapers, are another option. These diapers consist of washable pads in reusable housings. This insert is biodegradable, reducing the amount of washing required for cloth diapers.
Diapers made by cloth
It takes more time to cloth diapers, but they can save money. It is reported that they can reduce diaper rash and earlier stool training. In addition, if you choose organic cotton, you will avoid using toxic pesticides and fertilizers, as well as chlorine bleach and dyes.
Stretchable Nonwovens Diapers As New R&D
The best diapers are those that allow babies to move easily when they become more active. Ideally, diapers should be stretchable, easy to wear and take off, and allow the baby to move around without hindrance.
In the past, diapers used materials such as elastic rope or stretchable film. Some are too tight, making it difficult to wear diapers. Some are too loose, causing the diaper to slip or leak. Others are not breathable, making babies prone to rashes. With so many problems, they are far from ideal.
The solution to these problems is stretchable nonwovens. The development of nonwovens with built-in elasticity enables us to make stretchable diapers. Disposable diapers made of stretchable nonwovens are easy to wear, wear, move and take off.
