-Summer Anti-Stuffiness Guide

Yancheng Ruize Masterbatch Co., LTD

As the hot summer approaches, high temperatures and humidity have become the "invisible enemies" of babies' delicate skin. Diapers, as 24-hour personal items, can easily cause red bottoms, diaper rash and even heat rash if they are not made of proper materials or have design flaws.

How can diapers become a baby's "second skin", absorbing water and locking in urine while remaining breathable and dry?

Natural skin-friendly does not equal absolute safety

The surface materials of diapers on the market are mainly divided into two categories: natural fibers (cotton, bamboo fiber) and chemical fibers (polyester fiber, non-woven fabric). Although natural materials are known for their softness and skin-friendliness, if they have not undergone special breathable treatment, they are more likely to expand and clog the breathable holes due to moisture absorption in summer. Among chemical fibers, perforated hot air non-woven fabric, with its surface covered in micron-sized ventilation holes, can quickly expel hot and humid air, making it the preferred choice for summer.

Key purchasing tips

Touch test: Rub the surface layer quickly with your fingers. If a static adsorption sensation is produced, it indicates poor air permeability. High-quality materials should be smooth without resistance.

Light transmission observation: Align the diaper with the light source. If the surface shows uniform honeycomb-like light transmission points, it indicates that the distribution of the air holes is scientific.

Water absorption and reverse osmosis test: Pour in 50ml of warm water and let it stand for 1 minute. Press the surface with a paper towel. If the paper towel is obviously damp, the reverse osmosis rate is high and it is easy to cause stuffiness. Pitfall avoidance reminder: Avoid choosing surface layers with excessive fragrances or plant extracts. Such ingredients may disrupt the pH balance of your baby's skin and increase the risk of allergies instead.

The structural design of diapers

Apart from the material, the structural design of diapers directly affects the efficiency of air circulation. The following structural features need to be given special attention in summer:

Three-dimensional anti-side leakage edge isolation: Breathable without squeezing the meat

The anti-leakage edge is the key to preventing urine leakage. However, an overly tight or stiff edge can press on the root of the baby's thigh, hindering the skin's breathing. High-quality products will adopt elastic non-woven fabric and 3D stereoscopic cutting, which not only fits the body well but also reduces friction, while leaving space for air circulation.

Pitfall avoidance guide: Avoid choosing products with overly thick edges and poor elasticity. Such designs can easily cause skin stuffiness in summer.

Water-absorbing layer: Rapid water retention + dispersion and flow guidance

In summer, urine output may increase due to increased water intake. If the water-absorbing layer absorbs water slowly or has poor water retention capacity, urine will remain on the surface, intensifying the stuffiness. High-end products usually adopt high-molecular water-absorbing resin (SAP), which can instantly absorb and lock urine, and at the same time evenly disperse the liquid through the flow guide layer to avoid local thickening affecting air permeability.

Test method: Pour an equal amount of warm water into the inner layer of the diaper and observe the absorption rate and the dryness of the surface. If the surface remains damp for a long time, it indicates insufficient water absorption.

Thin design: Lightness and thinness do not equal sacrificing water absorption

Many mothers mistakenly believe that "the thicker the diaper, the better it can be inhaled", but in summer, thick diapers can actually increase the feeling of stuffiness. In fact, through technological optimization, thin diapers can also achieve high water absorption. The thickness of high-quality thin diapers can be controlled at 3 to 5 millimeters, and their water absorption capacity can reach 20 to 30 times their own weight.

Usage suggestion: In summer, you can appropriately choose diapers that are half a size smaller than those in winter. They are more in line with the body's curves and can reduce the stuffiness in the gaps.

Scientific replacement and auxiliary care

Even if breathable diapers are chosen, incorrect care methods may still lead to stuffiness problems. Special attention should be paid to the following details in summer:

Increase the frequency of replacement

In summer, babies sweat more and their urine concentration increases, which is more irritating to the skin. It's better to waste than to suffocate. It is recommended to shorten the replacement interval: For newborns (0-3 months) : once every 2 hours; 3 to 6 months: once every 2.5 to 3 hours; For more than 6 months: once every 3 to 4 hours, or flexibly adjust according to urine volume.

Note: When going out, carry portable diapers and wet wipes to avoid prolonged use due to difficulty in finding a toilet.

2. In combination with the buttock protection cream

Before changing diapers each time, wash the bottom with warm water and dry it thoroughly, then apply a layer of buttock protection cream containing zinc oxide to form a protective barrier. Zinc oxide can isolate urine and feces, reduce skin irritation, and form a breathable protective film at the same time.

Precautions: Avoid using wet wipes containing fragrances or alcohol, as these ingredients may damage the natural skin barrier of your baby.

3. Appropriate "naked running" time:

Let the skin breathe freely. Arrange 1-2 "bare bottom times" (10-15 minutes each time) every day, allowing the skin to come into direct contact with the air to accelerate the evaporation of sweat. You can choose to do it after the baby wakes up or takes a bath, and at the same time lay a urine pad to prevent accidents.

Environmental requirements: Ensure the indoor temperature is suitable (26-28℃) to prevent the baby from catching a cold.
