The moment you become a mother or perhaps even before you become one, you receive a lot of unsolicited advice. Soon you are bombarded with so many dos and don’ts that you cannot differentiate truth from a myth.

And of all the interesting and amusing myths, the ones surrounding diapers stand out. The myths are so worrisome that you end up avoiding diapers.

Here we bust some such myths so that you can benefit from the goodness of using the right diapers for your baby. Read on:

Myth #1: Diapers cause rashes: Diapers per se do not cause any rashes. If you do not change the diapers on time, then the resulting wetness causes irritation on the baby’s skin and rash. You can avoid that problem if you change the diapers before it becomes soggy. In fact, always ensure you use diapers on your baby which has few drops of lotion in it. This will soothe your baby’s skin and helps avoid rashes!

The inner layer of Pampers Pants is treated with baby lotion that helps protect your baby’s skin from dryness and irritation especially during the nights.

Myth #2: A diaper that doesn’t leak is perfect: It is not enough if the diaper doesn’t leak, it needs to be dry on the inside as well. Opt for a diaper that is dry even after soaking liquid. As the wet lining will lead to infection and rashes. Therefore, you need to check how dry the diaper is inside and change it accordingly.

Pampers Pants comes with all-new three channel technology. The three absorbing layers in the diaper absorb the wetness evenly and lock the moisture keeping your baby dry for up to 12 hours. It absorbs eight times faster than any other diaper.

Myth #3: Diapers cause discomfort: Diapers can be anything but uncomfortable because they are designed with the baby’s comfort in mind. Choose a diaper that is smooth, soft and made with breathable material. You need to choose the right diaper size for your baby and know when to change. Some diapers have wetness indicator which changes colour when the diaper is full and lets the mother know when it’s time to change the diaper.

Pampers Premium Care Pants has this unique feature, the wetness indicator which changes from yellow to blue indicating it’s time to change your baby’s diaper.

Myth #4: Diapers reduce the waist size: Diapers and the waist size are not related in any way. They can never reduce the waist size of your child. Opt for a diaper that has stretchable band and hence will fit perfectly on your baby’s waist.

Pampers Pants come with a flexible waistband that makes it easy to slip on and improves the all-around fit that keeps your baby comfortable. The stretchable sides take care of the infant’s movements.

Myth #5: Diapers affect baby’s skin: It is believed that leaving diapers on your baby for long hours doesn’t allow circulation of air. Choose a diaper that is made of breathable material. Cloth diapers have to be changed every time one or two hours, while disposable diapers need not be.

Pampers Premium Care Pants has breathable micropores in its inner lining. This allows wetness to evaporate, helping keep baby’s skin dry and prevents rash and irritation. They are also silky soft that is just perfect for the delicate soft skin of the babies.

Myth #6: Pant style diapers are uncomfortable: Some mothers feel that pant style diapers are not comfortable for infants. Whether it is disposable diaper or cloth diaper, it should be well fitted, comfortable and should serve the purpose.

Pampers Pants are easy to put on even when your baby is wriggling and they are easy to remove as well.
