When you look at junior and bask in a sunny toothless smile, you are sure that nothing's good enough for your baby, that your child deserves the very best you can offer, right? This quest for perfection leads you to spend countless hours agonizing over which infant food is better, what type of crib would be more comfortable, and also, which nappy should you buy that gives baby both ease and hygiene!?

Gone are the days when you wrapped a piece of cloth around your baby and called it nappy! Nappies come brand-made today in numerous types both artificial and natural and in different sizes to give your baby that perfect fit, and in a wide spectrum of attractive colors and prints to make your little one appear even more adorable!

Nappies can be roughly classified into two categories: disposable and natural or cloth nappies. While disposable nappies may have their own benefits, cloth nappies are environmentally friendly, soft, and they look really great on your baby! Cloth nappies are also economical, actually more economical in the long run than disposable nappies, because cloth nappies can be washed to use again and again, meaning you need fewer nappies. Moreover, cloth nappies get better the more you wash, as the fabric gets softer, making the nappy more comfy. This makes the secondhand value of cloth nappies very high!

Cloth nappies are available in different types, giving you a wide choice to select from. Below are the most popular styles available:

The All in One nappy is a single part nappy that does not need any outer wrapper. The inside of this diaper is super absorbent. This makes an All in One Diaper very convenient when taking your baby out, as it makes changing diapers in public efficient and fuss free!

The Flat Diaper is, as its name suggests, quite flat! Flat nappies are folded to suit the contours of your baby, so the maximum thickness of the folded cloth can be adjusted according to the baby's needs. Once arranged, it should be fastened with a plastic nappy gripper, such as Nappy Nippa, to prevent leaks and stains. Flat diapers require a wrapper in addition to firmly secure it in place.

As they require no folding or pinning, shaped Diapers are very easy to use, and can be used in situations that require a quick change. Another convenience is that it can even be fastened beforehand and pulled on like pants for the older toddler. Being shaped, it does not appear bulky beneath the baby's clothes.

The Fitted Nappy has elastic in the legs and waist region. This gives the diaper an advantage, as it can be worn without an extra outer cover. Also, the lack of cover means your baby's body gets more air. In addition, the Fitted Nappy with its unique hourglass design, does not hamper baby's movement and prevents the 'waddling effect' caused by other bulky and cumbersome nappies.

Pocket/Stuffable Cloth Nappies can be adjusted to your baby's special needs. Stuffable Nappies are a kind of wrap with an inner pocket, where the absorbent material is stuffed. This absorbent material can be adjusted according to the baby's requirement, meaning it can be bulked or slimmed down accordingly.

Birth to Potty Cloth Nappies are a one-size nappy that can be fit to suit your growing baby. This is a two part nappy system requiring an outer cover and nappy. Birth to Potty Cloth Nappies may seem more expensive at the outset, but are actually the more economical, because you don't need to replace nappies when your baby's size increases as he grows into a toddler.

Organic reusable nappies are made from cotton that is grown and processed without the use of harmful chemicals, and is one hundred percent naturally grown. This makes the fibre absolutely safe for your baby's skin. Apart from cotton, hemp is another great natural fibre. Hemp is a super absorbent material and makes for stain free nappies.

Swim nappies have a waistband and snugly fit around the legs to prevent and contain any accidents. Reusable swim nappies are made from a soft, stretchy material that allows water to escape but contains anything more solid. As they are reusable, these nappies can be washed and reused.

Some of the most popular nappy brands are Mother-ease, Popolino, Bambino Mio, Wonderoos, Tots Bots, Easy Peasy, Minki, and Fuzzi Bunz Diapers.

diapers, baby diapers, diaper bag, adult diapers

Having a new baby or young child can be a very expensive time for parents, however there are a number of ways that you can cut the costs by applying for free samples and coupons from some of the major suppliers of baby and toddler products. One such giant among these companies is Pampers.

Pampers have been one of the leading nappy sellers since disposable nappies came on the market.. With annual sales of US$ 6 billion it is recognized today as the worlds number one selling diaper brand

The disposable diaper was invented by Marion Donovan in 1950 and Pampers is but one brand of disposable diaper (or disposable nappy as known in the UK) marketed by Procter & Gamble worldwide Pampers the company was started by an American chemical engineer Victor Mills while he was working for Procter & Gamble Co. He thought it was a mess to use cloth diapers and it occurred to him that the pulp mill owned by Procter and Gamble might produce a clean, absorbent paper that just might work for a disposable diaper. P&G tested his yet unnamed disposable diaper in Rochester, New York in 1959 and, after discarding early names such as Tads, Solos and Larks, came up with the Pampers brand.

Pampers TimeLine

In 1966, Pampers launched a new C-fold design and by 1969 started a "third size". In 1984 Pampers changed their diapers to an hourglass shape; a feature that was first introduced on Luvs in 1976, and had evolved into an industry standard. In 1987 Pampers and Huggies both introduced new frontal tape systems which allow multiple repositioning of the lateral tape without tearing the diaper. In the 1990s Pampers introduced Ultra Dry Thins diapers that pulled moisture into the core, then sprang back to absorb even more. In 1996 Pampers Premium was introduced and was hailed as a diaper with breathable side panels. The '90s also saw the introduction of gender specific diapers in the Pampers brand and also the return to unisex diapers towards the end of the decade. In 1993 Pampers first attempt at training pants was introduced these were simply known as Pampers Trainers and would be a short lived product.

Pampers Baby Wipes

Apart from diapers Pampers also do a range of baby wipes such as Pampers Sensitive Wipes with moisture seal packaging, these wipes have unbeatable moisture retention, from the first to the last wipe and clinically tested and proven to be free of any tendency to irritate the sensitive skin of a newborn baby, including those with nappy rash. They have been awarded Baby Product of the Year 2007 as voted by 10,000 independent consumers.

Marketing and Promotions

Pampers and other major disposable diaper manufacturers spend a great deal of money on advertising and marketing and it is therefore not uncommon to find promotions where you can receive a free sample pack of diapers and in some cases you could even win a years supply. This is a great way for consumers to try the various brands available and a terrific way for companies to prove to the consumer that their brands are the best value for money.
