What are the best diapers to buy?The products presented in the selection are almost in the same price category and have +/- the same number of diapers in the package. But the most cost-effective option is Huggies Elite Soft 1. Huggies are considered a budget and profitable purchase, especially for the first time after the hospital.
Meries is more expensive and in a package of 10 pcs. fewer diapers. But for the price they are quite a bit inferior to the product from the company Huggies. Pampers offers the best packaging for 102 pcs. This supply is definitely enough for the first month of a newborn's life. Yes, the price is a little high, but quite acceptable.
Japanese Moony can be bought at a price of 1300-2700 rubles. depending on the number of diapers. But for 90 pcs. you have to pay almost 1500 rubles. Premium Goo.N are the most expensive in the selection. The average price tag for this product for a pack of 90 pcs. fluctuates between 1700-2000 rubles.

2. Compound
The health of the baby depends on the quality of the internal and absorbent material.Diapers are carefully controlled, developed in collaboration with pediatricians and dermatologists. All products presented in the selection are safe, non-toxic materials were used in their production. Only now, some of them contain fragrances and additional components that can cause an allergic reaction in newborn boys and girls.
Moony - the best in composition and hypoallergenic diapers. Yes, their inner layer is saturated with olive oil, but there is very little of it. At the same time, hygienic products are odorless, perfectly breathable, preventing the baby's skin from sweating.
Meries are in the same position as Muni. The products of this company for newborns are considered one of the safest. There are no fragrances and hazardous substances in the composition. The outer layer reliably retains moisture inside, but at the same time does not interfere with natural air exchange.
Expensive Goo.N, samples of which are given to many mothers in the maternity hospital, are located in 2nd place. This manufacturer, like Moony and Merries, does not hide the composition of their diapers. They are completely safe, the inner layer is very soft, the products have no foreign smell. True, inside there is an impregnation with vitamin E, to which the baby may have a reaction, although this is rare.
Haggis and Pampers for newborns occupy the last positions. Pampers Premium Care smells very strongly of a balm. The inner layer is impregnated with a composition that should protect the baby's skin from diaper rash. But in fact, this balm can provoke the appearance of allergies.
The manufacturer of Huggies Elite Soft 1 does not indicate the main composition and type of materials in their diapers, for which it receives a lower rating. Of course, there are practically no serious allergic reactions in babies to diapers, but hiding the composition looks suspicious.
Name | Perfume | Absorbent/inner material | Additional components |
Moony (0-5 kg) | No | non-woven polyolefin absorbent/cotton pulp | olive oil |
Merries NB (0-5 kg) | No | superabsorbent polymer/cellulose | No |
Goo.N (0-5 kg) | No | absorbent polymer/cotton pulp+absorbent paper | vitamin E impregnation |
Pampers Premium Care 1 | not included, but there is a smell | superabsorbent/cellulose | balm with vaseline, aloe vera extract, stearyl alcohol |
Huggies Elite Soft 1 | No | Soft Absorb/Cotton | no data |

3. Size Compliance
What diapers are best for newborns?Meries and Goo.N are considered one of the biggest products for babies. But at the same time, they sit perfectly on children who have just been discharged from the hospital. Of course, for small babies they will obviously be large, but for children weighing from 3 to 5 kg (and sometimes 6 kg) they fit perfectly.
Moony has no particular problems with size matching either. Hygienic products are in size, fit snugly to the body, do not cause discomfort to the baby. Pampers are diapers, from which newborns grow very quickly.Judging by the reviews, you can walk in Pampers Premium Care 1 for a maximum of the first 2-3 weeks, and then they begin to rub in the area of \u200b\u200bthe legs and fill up very quickly. Although for small babies, such diapers may well be an excellent option.
Haggis has similar sizing issues. They are far from the best in terms of landing comfort: they are cramped for large kids. One should be bought only for the very first 1-2 weeks after birth. But then either give your preference to another company, or buy Huggies Elite Soft 2.

4. Absorbency and leakage protection
The higher the absorbency, the calmer the baby's sleep and less diaper rash on the skinAbsolute protection against leaks is not a single diaper. Even the most expensive hygiene products leak if they are not replaced on time. Also, the likelihood of leakage increases if the diaper is not the right size: too big or too small. And a lot also depends on whether the Velcro is correctly fixed, the frills / elastic bands are straightened near the legs of the baby.
Goo.N are the best absorbent diapers. According to most parents, products from this Japanese manufacturer quickly absorb moisture and loose stools from the baby. The baby's skin does not fade, the Velcro is fixed securely. And double cuffs protect against unexpected leaks. But these diapers do not have a cutout for the navel. But there is a filling indicator in the form of a strip.
Next to the Goons are budget Elite Soft 1 from Haggis.These diapers are very good, even despite their small size. Products reliably retain moisture and loose stools, do not cause allergic reactions. The third place in terms of absorbency was taken by diapers from Pampers. Premium Care 1 easily cope with natural secretions, do not irritate the baby's skin. They also have a practical cutout for a healing navel, soft cuffs on the legs. True, the liquid stool absorbs edinichka badly.
The last place was shared by diapers from Muni and Meries. No, they are not the worst in terms of absorbency, just products from these brands are very thin, almost weightless. And there is not much filler responsible for retaining moisture. Therefore, some parents (especially moms and dads of boys) complain about periodic leaks. And the back remains dry, and the sides and front are leaking. But in general, the products are quite worthy of attention. Indeed, in terms of environmental friendliness and hypoallergenicity, and also in softness, they clearly bypass Pampers and Haggis.

5. Parents' opinion
What are the most popular diapers for newborns?First place goes to Meries. Hygiene products for the little ones from the Japanese company will soon catch up and perhaps even overtake Pampers. Both in terms of price and quality, they look more profitable than products from American brands.
In terms of reviews and sales, Pampers and Haggis products arguably outperform Merries. But lately they have begun to lose ground.Of course, they are still in demand due to their affordable cost and constant availability in stores, but their quality is clearly lower than that of Japanese diapers. Therefore, despite the numerous reviews (and there are more than 1000), Elite Soft 1 and Premium Care 1 get 2nd place.
The third position was shared by Goo.N and Moony. Japanese diapers are still only gaining popularity in Russia. But this does not make them less in demand: parents increasingly prefer these companies when choosing hygiene products for newborns.

6. Comparison results
What diapers are best for newborns?Meries are hygienic products that can be safely advised to all future and already established parents. It is convenient for newborns to sleep and walk in them, allergic reactions and diaper rash from the use of these diapers appear very rarely. And yes, they are reasonably priced.
Moony and Goo.N are a good solution both for babies who have graduated from the hospital, and for grown-up babies up to 1-2 months. Yes, they did not win in this comparison, but that does not mean that they are not worth buying. Huggies Elite Soft 1 and Pampers Premium Care 1 have always been considered among the safest and highest quality diapers. But now they are becoming less and less popular. Of course, this does not mean that you should not try to “make friends” with a baby with Pampers or Haggis. Each newborn has a different diaper selection. Therefore, take a couple of sample products with you to the hospital. So you will understand which ones are right for your baby.
