The harm of expired diapers

Expired diapers should no longer be used by children, because children's skin is relatively fragile. Using expired diapers at this time will cause skin allergies in babies. We need to avoid the growth of bacteria. Expired diapers may contain a lot of bacteria and are prone to leakage, so they are not suitable for babies to wear at night. I hope mothers can pay attention to this and only use diapers that are allergic to them for mopping the floor, etc.

What are the dangers of using expired diapers?

Breeding bacteria

Diapers are a special type of paper products that require high-temperature sterilization during the production process. Only paper products that have been sterilized at high temperatures can be directly sealed and packaged to better prevent bacterial growth. However, the effectiveness of a single disinfection and sterilization is limited after all. Once the shelf life is exceeded, sterility can no longer be guaranteed. Therefore, once diapers expire, they should not be used again for babies. Even expired diapers that have not been opened should not be used again because bacteria have begun to breed in the diapers.

Easy to leak

The bottom layer of diapers is made of PE film or PE film + non-woven fabric. PE film is easily photo-oxidized. After diapers have been stored for 3 years, the bottom layer will begin to age or crack. Therefore, do not use expired diapers for your baby, as it will increase the chance of urine leakage. Be careful to avoid urine leakage.

How to use expired diapers?

Used for mopping

Diapers that have expired cannot be worn by babies. Not only are they not worth wearing to prevent urine, but their absorbency will also deteriorate. But it is still very good for mopping the floor, and it is many times better than ordinary mops and rags. Mopping the floor with expired diapers can not only protect the floor, but also make the floor cleaner and brighter.

When cooling patch

If your baby has a fever and there is no cooling patch at home, parents can use expired diapers, soak them in water, put the soaked diapers in the refrigerator for a few minutes and then take them out. Then, aim the absorbent part in the middle at the baby's forehead and use it as a cooling patch.
