Diapers: How To Use Them Right?

Diapers: How To Use Them Right?

Kya aapko pata hai that poor diaper hygiene can lead to several health issues in babies, including diaper rash, urinary tract infections (UTIs), yeast infections, and bacterial skin infections? Studies say that every 1 in 3 infant suffers from one of these problems at least once in their lives. A surprising 50-60% infants suffer from diaper rashes at least once. These issues cause irritation and severely impact a baby’s comfort and well being.


Kya aapka baby bhi yeh problems face karta hai but you don’t know why? Prolonged exposure to wetness, bacteria in soiled diapers, and friction caused by diapers are some of the most common causes of these issues and UTIs. They are caused by bacteria from the stool entering the urinary tract, and are more frequent in infants with poor hygiene practices. Therefore we urge all parents to maintain good diaper hygiene.

How do we maintain this hygiene?  Proper diaper hygiene includes frequent diaper changes, thorough cleaning, and the use of protective creams. All these precautions can reduce these risks significantly.

Choosing the right brand of diapers is equally essential. Diapers with better breathability and moisture-locking features reduced diaper rash occurrences considerably compared to traditional options. Brands that prioritise hypoallergenic materials and advanced absorption technology offer a safer, more comfortable experience for babies. Parents should consider these factors when selecting diapers to ensure their child's skin remains healthy and irritation-free!
