Why does the diaper have a smell?

Diapers are disposable items and will be thrown away after use. As long as they are regular diaper products, they generally have no odor, unless you buy diapers of poor quality. In recent years, the media has often reported that some small workshops produce inferior diapers. Such diapers are relatively harmful to the baby's health. There will be some formaldehyde residues in them, which seriously threaten the baby's health.

Why does the diaper smell?

Diapers are disposable products that are meant to be used once. It is made of non-woven fabrics, toilet paper, fluff pulp, polymer absorbent resin, PE film, rubber bands and other materials. There are two types: one for children and one for adults. The user groups of diapers are mainly infants and adults. The Chinese market is mainly for baby diapers. Nearly 20 million babies are born in China every year, and the number of babies aged 0 to 2 years old using diapers reaches more than 40 million. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2008, the national population aged 60 and above reached 159.9 million, accounting for 12% of the total population; the elderly population aged 65 and above reached 109.6 million, accounting for 8.3% of the total population. Although many people use diapers, some of them have odor. What should people do at this time?

Many people said that the diapers they bought had a smell after opening. Why is that? Some people said that it was affected by the existing production technology and the smell of diapers during the production process; some people said that it was the residue of disinfectant; some people thought that it was because the quality was not up to standard, so there was a smell... There are all kinds of guesses. Will diapers with odor be harmful to children? I think it depends on the specific situation. For example, some diapers are added with vitamin E or plant skin care essence, so they will have a different smell. And diapers with smell should be distinguished. Those with pungent and strong smell are not suitable for children. Some diapers will dissipate the smell after a few days after opening, so this type of diapers should be harmless.

How to choose diapers

Diapers are probably the most consumed items for newborn babies. So, how much do you know about diapers for infants and young children? Mothers should choose diapers with strong moisture absorption, because such diapers can quickly absorb urine into the bottom layer and lock it to prevent back seepage. Such diapers can keep the baby's buttocks skin dry, such as Yingxiu diapers.

Choose diapers with a breathable waistband and high-cut legs, because this design can reduce the area of ​​the diaper covering the baby's buttocks, allowing more skin to be exposed to fresh air and dissipate moisture at any time, helping to prevent diaper rash. Choose diapers with leak-proof design, because such diapers can prevent baby's excrement from staining baby's clothes. Choose diapers with soft inner and outer layers, as such diapers can avoid hurting the baby's buttocks and inner thigh skin and make the baby feel comfortable.
