Want to know how to keep your baby's bottom dry? Here are 3 things to look out for

Want to know how to keep your baby's bottom dry? Here are 3 things to look out forWant to know how to keep your baby's bottom dry? Here are 3 things to look out for

Mummies, do you remember how you felt when you first held your little bundle of joy in your arms? Other than marveling at your baby’s incredibly soft skin, all you wanted to do was to protect him and provide the best for your child’s health and well-being. As we all know, a happy baby means a smiling mummy. Presented by Merries tape diapers.

As a parent, many choices involve the baby products we use on our little ones, especially when it comes to their health and comfort. Ask any parent who has been round the block in search of diapers – the choices are seemingly endless when searching for one.

Like many mums, I often find myself looking for ways to provide the greatest comfort and protection for my baby’s delicate skin while keeping it soft, healthy and rash free for as long as possible. Much time is poured into researching the best diaper for my little critter. Lest to say, it has certainly been quite a journey in my bid to finding the right diaper, after trying numerous products one after another.

How this mum discovered that a good quality baby diaper is vital

From the time my boy was born and on total breastfeed, we easily used up to 10 diapers per day, as his poo was runny. We also discovered that some diapers:

  • are thick and bulky, making it less breathable
  • made of scratchy material, which irritated baby’s skin especially his diaper area
  • are not as absorbent, leading to easily soiled diapers, frequent leaks, soiled clothes and bed sheets

These factors led to unnecessary trips to the paediatrician to treat his red angry bum, being rudely awakened in the middle of the night by a baby who has been sleeping in a wet diaper, and a lot of scrubbing and washing of soiled clothes. Above all was a mummy’s guilt of not being able to instantly soothe her baby’s discomfort due to a bad diaper rash.

For mums looking for ‘the one’, check out Japan’s No. 1* diaper brand for almost a decade now! Keep reading to learn about both its new and key features, which let them live up to the promise of ‘Happy Baby, Smiling Mummy!’

Merries – Giving your baby the best care for his or her delicate skin

The experts at Merries understand and strive to make the comfort of your little one their top priority. With this in mind coupled with extensive R&D, the newly developed diapers are even better than before.

Introducing the newly improved Merries Tape Diaper

Here are 3 essential features mums (and babies!) will surely be smiling about.

1.Exceptional breathability and long-lasting dryness

Merries Tape diaper is specially designed to allow your babys skin to breathe and stay dry longer.

Merries Tape diaper is specially designed to allow your baby’s skin to breathe and stay dry longer.

Did you know that a baby’s skin is only half as thick as an adult’s, making it more sensitive and prone to irritation? Did you also know that the moisture level inside a diaper can go up to 80% once the baby pees?

Now picture that highly sensitive skin, and throw in a mixture of moisture, urine and stools, and you’ll get a very unhappy baby.

To allow your baby’s skin to breathe better and prevent nasty skin conditions like a diaper rash, Merries Tape diaper is designed with a new triple layer air-through system that increases breathability by 40%*!

According to a survey done in September 2015 by Kao, 97% of mothers in Japan find that the triple-layer air-through design means a drier bottom for their babies.

I myself found that we started to have more peaceful nights and better sleep even if we missed a night change thanks to long-lasting dryness and comfort. This is due to the light, airy mesh material (first layer) that acts as a soft barrier between baby’s skin and moisture, the breathable air-through absorbent (second) layer, and the all-around breathable sheet (third layer).

The system is gentle on the skin as it effectively absorbs pee, while drawing moisture away and letting air flow through the diaper.

2.Superb absorbency and leakage free

The innovative wavy and recessed surface of the soft poo absorbent sheet traps and holds pee and poo, while instantly drawing and locking moisture away.

Essentially, the soft poo absorbing sheet means less leaks and contact with poo (both for me and baby – bye to runny poo messes and trips to the paediatrician for diaper rash!) With gentle side gathers that fit snugly around my baby’s legs, he can remain active during playtime without any diaper leaks or getting red marks around his chubby thighs.

3.Ultra softness

The diaper’s inner wavy and soft surface reduces the skin contact area so that it does not stick to your baby’s skin, and makes for an all round more comfortable wear. Comfy babies are happy babies, right mums?
