There comes a time in most parents' lives when they start looking for a more practical and comfortable alternative to classic disposable diapers. And that's when panty diapers come into play - a great choice for active toddlers and older children who are slowly approaching the age of diapering.
In this article, we will explain what exactly panty diapers are, how they are used, and when is the right time to start using them.
What are panty diapers?
Pant diapers (also known as pull-on diapers, training pants, or pants) are a type of diaper that is put on similarly to underwear - they simply pull over the legs and fit like panties.
Unlike regular disposable diapers, which are fastened with Velcro, panty diapers do not have adhesive tapes, but an elastic waistband, which makes them easy to put on, fit better and leak less, especially for children who are already climbing, walking or learning to use the potty.
How are panty diapers used?
Usage is very simple:
1. Dressing – Just like underwear, panty diapers are simply pulled over the baby's legs. Thanks to the elastic waistband, they adapt well to the baby's figure.
2. Undressing – After use, the diaper tears at the sides , making it easy to take off without having to pull it down over the legs.
3. Change – After taking off the diaper , simply roll it up, secure it with an adhesive strip and throw it away.
When are panty diapers appropriate?
Panty diapers are ideal in several situations:
• For active children who are already moving around a lot, climbing or walking – regular diapers can be harder to put on and can slip off easily.
• For children who are potty training – The diaper is easy to take off and put on, the child can practice independence. Many parents use them as an intermediate step between diapers and classic underwear.
• For sleeping or traveling – Some children no longer need diapers during the day, but overnight or on a longer trip, a panty diaper is a guarantee of no accidents. In our offer you will also find a night version of panty diapers , which lasts all night thanks to a higher absorption layer.
