Nowadays, baby diapers have entered thousands of households because of their advantages of easy wear, easy to use, clean and hygienic, and have become a good helper for mothers to raise children. However, according to the research of "Paper World", there are more than 3,000 brands sold in the domestic baby diaper market, of which the product quality is also uneven, and mothers must choose carefully.
Baby diapers will be in contact with the baby's skin for a long time when used, which will affect the baby's healthy growth, so the quality of baby diapers is very important!
Based on the announcements of the State Administration for Market Regulation and the provincial and municipal market supervision and administration bureaus, this article comprehensively sorts out the blacklist of unqualified diapers that have been notified in the past 3 years from 2020 to 2023.
The results show that the State Administration for Market Regulation and the provincial and municipal market supervision and administration bureaus have sampled a total of 1705 batches of diapers in the past three years, including 45 batches of unqualified products, involving brands such as Biba Baby, Kadola, Love Care, Dr. Shu, Rabi Bear, Bei Yingshuang, and Good Time, and the reasons for the unqualified products involve diaper permeability, product identification, total number of colonies, pH value and other issues.
In the sampling of unqualified diapers, permeability is the main reason for unqualified, with 21 batches unqualified, accounting for 45%, followed by product identification, total number of fungal colonies, total bacterial colonies, and pH value, with 12 batches, 6 batches, 5 batches, and 2 batches unqualified respectively.

The most unqualified batches of permeability performance, accounting for 45%, specifically related to the absorption rate, re-infiltration amount, slip-permeability amount is unqualified. Permeability is a key indicator to measure the performance of a diaper, including the diaper's ability to absorb urine quickly, its ability to lock urine without reverse osmosis, and the diaper's leak-proof effect. If the item is not qualified, it will directly affect the usability and comfort of the product.
From 2020 to 2023, there will be new revisions to the product standards for diapers, GB/T 28004.1-2021 "Diapers - Part 1: Baby Diapers" and GB/T 28004.2-2021 "Diapers - Part 2: Adult Diapers" replaces the old standard GB/T 28004-2011 "Diapers (Sheets, Pads)".
In the old standard, the permeability inspection items are specifically divided into three aspects: slippage volume, reflow amount and leakage amount, among which the slippage amount of baby diapers should be ≤ 20mL, the amount of recirculation should be ≤ 10g, and the leakage amount should be ≤ 0.5g. In the 2021 version of the new standard, the slippery amount of baby diapers is replaced by the absorption rate, requiring the first ≤ to be 50s, the second ≤ to 100s, the amount of repermeation is changed to ≤15g, and the leakage amount is changed to ≤1g. In addition, the new standard also adds anti-leakage performance indicators, which is conducive to ensuring the anti-leakage function of diapers in different postures.
The product identification (marking) is not up to standard, and it may not be able to guide consumers to use it correctly.
The total number of colonies is also one of the main reasons for disqualification, including the total number of fungal colonies and the total number of bacterial colonies were unqualified, accounting for 13% and 11% respectively.
Microbial indicators can directly reflect the degree of microbial contamination of the product and the hygienic quality of the product, and can be used to determine whether the raw materials, production process and processing process used in the production of the product meet the requirements of hygienic quality. Since the users of diapers are generally special groups such as infants and young children, their resistance is relatively weak, and if they are used in the case of excessive total bacterial falls, it is easy to affect physical health.
The hygiene index of diapers shall be implemented in accordance with the mandatory national standard GB 15979-2002 "Hygiene Standard for Disposable Sanitary Products".The standard stipulates that the total number of bacterial colonies of diaper products is ≤ 200 cfu/g for ordinary grade, 20 cfu/g for disinfection ≤grade, and 100 cfu/g for ordinary grade ≤ for disinfection grade.
GB/T 28004.1-2021 "Diapers – Part 1: Baby Diapers" standard stipulates that the pH range of baby diapers is 4.0~7.5, which is slightly different from the pH value of 4.0~8.0 required in the old standard GB/T 28004-2011 "Diapers (Sheets, Pads)". Babies have delicate skin, the structure is not fully developed, and high or low pH can cause skin discomfort.
Kadora, Biba Baby, Dr. Shu, Good Time, etc. are on the "black list" of quality inspectionThe sampling results show that the diapers produced by Fujian Nan'an Tiantian Paper Co., Ltd., Hunan Andier Sanitary Products Co., Ltd., Qidong Tiancheng Commodity Co., Ltd., and Anhui Tianhang Nursing Products Co., Ltd. are unqualified, respectively, involving brand Dorala, I am a small time, a fawn, help good, Kang Fushou, and good time, and the main reasons for the unqualified products are the total number of bacterial colonies, the total number of fungal colonies, and permeability performance.

The test items involve 8 categories: permeability performance, pH value, delivery moisture, total number of bacterial colonies, coliform bacteria, pathogenic pyogenic bacteria, total number of fungal colonies, and signs. After testing, 2 batches were unqualified, and the unqualified detection rate was 4.8%. Non-conforming items are indicated.
The two batches of unqualified diapers are: K-MOM Story Diapers-M (model specification: M 60PCS; production date: 2020/01/13 limited date: 2023/01/12) sold by Shanghai Chenyi Trading Co., Ltd. on Tmall, which is nominally produced or supplied by Mengku International Trade (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., and is not marked with the address of the agent, importer or seller registered in China according to law.

According to the results of the random inspection of "Children's Students and Elderly Products" released by the Market Supervision and Administration Department of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region on October 15, 2021, the diapers (M 6-11KG 24 pieces/bag) produced by Yingjia (Zhuhai Free Trade Zone) Sanitary Products Co., Ltd. and sold by Lingwu Beibeile Maternal and Child Life Center are trademarked as Dr. Shu + letters (Dr.S), and the total number of fungal colonies is unqualified.
In addition, there are diapers (S small size 3-7KG 24 pieces/bag) produced by Guangdong Obi Personal Care Products Co., Ltd. and sold by the baby plan baby products store on Xinhe East Road, Helan County, with the trademark of Rabi Bear + letter + pattern, and the total number of fungal colonies is also unqualified.
1. Choose the appropriate style and size of baby diapers according to the body shape and weight of infants. If the diaper is too small, there will be a gap between the baby's body and the diaper, which will easily lead to the leakage of excrement, and if the diaper is too small, the infant's body will be prone to friction marks, resulting in the baby's discomfort.
2. The fabric close to the skin should be soft, absorbent, dry and comfortable. It is recommended to choose diapers with a thinner composite core, which is easier for infants and young children to wear on their bodies and has no burden. The waist circumference should be designed to be relatively close-fitting and have a certain elasticity, which conforms to the body curve of infants and young children. In summer, babies and young children sweat more, and the non-fitting waist fabric constantly rubs the skin, which is easy to damage the skin. When the ambient temperature increases, it is recommended not to replace the diaper with a new one immediately after removing it, so that the skin can be properly ventilated and keep the skin dry, which is conducive to reducing the occurrence of diaper rash.
3. Infants and young children generally have a large amount of activity, so they should choose diapers with leak-proof design and strong moisture absorption. If necessary, choose a small package to try to determine the style and model that is more suitable for your baby.
What is the difference between baby diapers and pull-up pants?When it comes to diapers, I believe every mother knows it very well, but some mothers can't tell the difference between diapers and pull-up pants, especially new mothers, because their babies are still in infancy, so they don't know the difference between pull-up pants and diapers.
1. Pull-up pants:Pull-up pants, similar to panty-style diapers, are also called long pants or toddler pants.
For active babies, the pants design of pull-up pants is better than diapers, and they are more close-fitting and elastic, which is convenient for the baby's activities, and is more suitable for babies who are lively and active and can walk over 1 year old.
Pull-up pants diapers not only have the function of anti-urine, but also have the function of ordinary shorts; Pull-up pants are easy to wear and easy to move, which can help mothers reduce fatigue and make it easy for babies to learn to walk.
The magical elastic waist has strong elastic elasticity and no sense of bunching, like a well-fitting and comfortable little panties.
2. The difference between pull-up pants and diapers:(1) The design of the waist adhesive is different:
The most obvious difference between diapers and pull-up pants is that there is no elastic at one waist and one waist is elastic; The diaper is glued to the lower abdomen, while the pull-up pants are glued on both sides of the thigh, which is velcro and can be applied repeatedly. If it's already pasted when you take it out, just put it on as if you were wearing underwear. If you want to loosen or tighten it, you can tear the velcro and adjust it yourself, but the adjustment range is not very large, unlike ordinary diapers.
(2) Pull-up pants can be put on and taken off freely:
The main difference is that pull-up pants can be put on and taken off freely like small panties, while diapers are more troublesome to take off once they are put on.
Pull-up pants are generally used after the baby is one year old, after the baby will go, the urine and urine also need to be trained, then the pull-up pants are more convenient, which is equivalent to wearing a cotton underwear for the baby, which can not only achieve the purpose of training but also prevent the baby from wetting his pants.
(3) The age of the applicable baby is different:
Pull-up pants are recommended for older or active babies: many older babies will punch and kick every time they change diapers, and it is not easy for mothers to operate. It's much easier to have pull-up pants, because pull-up pants can also be changed while standing, and pull-up pants can be selected when it is inconvenient for the baby to lie flat when going out.
It is more suitable for low-month-old babies to choose diapers, because they poop more often, and they will not stand up, losing the meaning of using pull-up pants, so it is recommended that low-month-old baby mothers choose diapers for their babies, diapers are not tight and uncomfortable, and pull-up pants are more troublesome to adjust
(4) The price is different:
Pull-up pants are a bit more expensive than diapers. From an economic point of view, mothers can try to use pull-up pants and diapers alternately, using pull-up pants during the day and diapers at night; Diapers at home, opt for pull-up pants when you go out.
3. How old is the baby to wear pull-up pants?When the baby is older, he will roll over and crawl, and he will not be willing to lie down obediently and let his mother change the diaper, so the pull-up pants that are easy to put on and take off come in handy.
At present, the models of pull-up pants on the market generally have three models: M/L/XL, and some brands also have XXL models, and the smallest models are generally M, which are suitable for babies over 6 or 7kg.
Generally, the baby can use pull-up pants after turning over or crawling.
