Moms, check out which brands TAP moms believe should be included in our 10 best baby diaper brands in the Philippines list.
As parents, we all want what’s best for our babies. Whether it is about the big things like choosing a good school and health care for them, too small but still important things like picking out the best diaper for them.
Choosing the best diaper for a baby is not as simple as it seems. We want the quality to be top-notch to prevent unwanted effects like diaper rash or urinary tract infection, yet we also want it to be economical since the baby uses multiple diapers a day.
There are different brands of diapers in the country that promises different things – overnight protection, 12-hour dryness, gentleness on baby’s sensitive skin and so much more. But what are the top things that a parent should consider in choosing which brand of diaper to go for?

What to consider in choosing the best diaper for baby
Brand
Why do moms still choose to buy the more expensive, international brands than the cheaper local ones? One of the reasons could probably be because of its reputation. We are not saying that the local ones have poor quality. But the bigger international brands have made a name for themselves because they’re trusted by moms all over the world when it comes to diapers.
Features
Some of the good features that you should look for in a diaper are good absorbency, wetness indicators, soft and breathable material, and stretchability.
Baby’s age
As your child grows, your need and preferences for diapers will change. Diapers are also categorized according to size, from newborn to XXL. So while it’s a good thing to stock up on diapers, especially for newborns, do not make the mistake of buying too much in just one size. Babies grow fast, so they might outgrow it in a month’s time.

For newborns and small babies, you would do well with a diaper with secure tape to make prevent urine and poop from leaking out. For bigger and more active babies, you can use the pants or the pull-up variety that’s easier to wear and remove.
Pooping habits
Funny memes about a baby pooping in a fresh diaper are inspired by real life. Some babies do, in fact, have that habit of pooping after their diapers have been changed. Others poop right after breastfeeding. While some big babies poop at intervals. Yet, we really have no other choice but to change the diaper once it is been soiled regardless of how expensive it is.
Consider your child’s pooping and peeing habits when choosing a diaper that can match his needs, and is still economical for you.
Price
Parents spend approximately Php 2,500.00 a month on one diaper. It might decrease as the baby grows and when she starts potty training, but when you are talking about newborns, who need diaper changes frequently (I remember my newborn had to change almost 6 times a day), you can easily shell out this amount or more depending on the diaper brand.
This is something you also have to think about when choosing the best diaper for your child. Again, we’re not saying that expensive means high quality and vice versa. Always check the features, but also consider your budget.
Skin sensitivity
If your baby has sensitive skin, one of your major worries would be diaper rash. So check if the brand is hypoallergenic and free of strong fragrances that can further irritate her skin. This is also why it’s important to look for ones with a breathable material to keep skin irritation at bay.
Some moms also consider the material of the product in terms of being biodegradable, can be disposed of naturally, or if it’s kind to the environment.
