Did you know that French sociologists included diapers in their list of the 30 most important inventions of the 20th century that radically changed everyday life? Diapers are now used from a baby's birth until they are potty trained. To avoid issues like diaper rash, irritation, and pinching of the baby's delicate skin, it's important to know how to choose the right diaper size.

How to Determine the Right Size?

• Don't Choose Diapers by Age: All babies are unique and can have different weights and heights.
• Sizes Are Based on Weight: Diaper sizes are indicated in kilograms (kg), which is always marked on the package.
• Select the Most Suitable Size: A diaper that's too big will leak, while one that's too small will chafe, pinch, and create conditions for rashes.
• When in Doubt, Choose a Larger Size: If you're uncertain about the size, it's better to go a size up.
• Note the Pack Size: The smaller the size, the more diapers there are in the pack. This is because as babies grow, they urinate less frequently.

How to Ensure the Diaper Fits Properly?

• Proper Fit Around the Waist: The diaper should fit snugly to the baby's body up to the navel without pressing too hard. The leak guards should be on the outside, around the legs.
• No Tightness: The baby shouldn't feel cramped in the diaper, and it shouldn't pinch their skin.
• Dry Skin After Use: The baby's skin should remain dry after removing the diaper, with no rashes or redness.

When to Choose a Larger Diaper Size?

• Incomplete Coverage: The diaper doesn't fully cover the baby's buttocks. • Red Marks: There are red marks around the waist and thighs. • Frequent Wetting: The diaper becomes completely soaked after just one urination.

By selecting the right size, you will keep your baby comfortable and free from leaks.
