When choosing baby diapers, parents can feel a little lost. There are a lot of different brands, some expensive, others less expensive, and people just don’t know what brand is better for their child. Especially with the first born, when you don’t have any experience and a lot of decisions to make, the diaper issue is just another dilemma that needs to be quickly resolved.

So, what should you be looking for when you are buying disposable diapers? They need to be comfortable for your newborn, leakage free, and free from any toxic components. Try to research the different diaper brands and learn as much as possible about the materials that diapers are made up of. You should look for brands that don’t use chlorine and toxic components in their products. But you can’t actually know if the baby is comfortable with the diapers until you buy a few different brands and see which has the best results. A certain diaper brand can work great for one baby, but it might cause a rash on another one. The only solution is to buy different brands in small packages and observe which one is best tolerated.

A very important characteristic you need to check when shopping for diapers is the available sizes. You should choose a brand that has a lot of different sizes. For example, if a diaper brand features a single size for baby weights from 8 lb. up to 20 lb., you should get something else. Such a diaper will be too big for an 8 lb. newborn and too tight for the 20 lb. baby. So make sure you buy brands that are truly fitted for the child weight. Some brands have different diapers for boys and girls, which is a very useful characteristic as it helps prevent leaky diapers.

Talking with other parents about the best diaper brands is always useful. You’ll find out a lot on tips and details about the best diaper brands. You can also read consumers reviews about diapers – it will give you a better idea about every brand best and worst parts. Most parents and caretakers agree that the best diaper brands are Pampers, Huggies, Luvs, Seventh Generation and gDiapers.

So, why do parents and caretakers prefer those brands over others? The products reviews tell us they enjoy the fact that some brands, like Pampers, provide innovations like including a lotion in the lining of the diaper or a special diaper to use when the baby has a rash. Also, parents appreciate diapers that fit well on the baby’s body, allowing the baby to move comfortably. Most parents prefer diapers that are very absorbent without becoming bulky when they are wet. This is one of the reasons why Luvs diapers are among the best diaper brands.

For the parents concerned about the environment the best brands are Seventh Generation and gDiapers. Seventh Generations are chlorine-free, without any toxic components – this is good for the baby’s skin and for the nature. gDiapers is the only diaper brand you can throw directly into the toilet and flush it, since they are made up of biodegradable materials.
