More about Pampers
Pampers is manufactured by Proctor and Gamble. This is a reputed company. For new born babies, Pampers work better than Huggies. Probably this has to do with extra soft material they use for their diapers. The material does not cause any irritation to baby’s soft, tender skin and he feels most comfortable in Pampers diapers. Also, Pampers make sure that the top end of the diaper does not reach the naval of the newborn which is a very sensitive part of the body in newborn babies. In addition, Pampers make sure that the elastic they use for the openings around the legs is soft and really stretchy. The Velcro provided stops any leakages, and the absorbent material absorbs all the moisture, keeping the skin of the baby dry to let him sleep in peace throughout the night.
