Nappy Pads vs Disposable Diapers

Nappy pads are just like sanitary napkins and are stuck on to your baby's cotton nappies.
It might take a couple of attempts to get it right. However, it does provide comfort and relief from disposable diapers to babies.
Couple of brands of nappy pads now have elastic bands (similar to disposable diapers) on the sides to stop the urine from spilling out.
Nappy pads are good for short duration changes. They are good because they do not cover the baby's bottom completely like diapers, thus leaving space for the skin to breathe.
It is good to use nappy pads, if your baby is trying to recover from a diaper rash. It is the better environmental option between the two and hosiery diapers being the best environmental option.

It also happens to be the most economical option, averaging of 3 nappy pads for the price of 1 diaper, approx depending on the brands.

But it does not replace disposable diapers. It is good to use nappy pads during summers.
Not an ideal item to use if you are going for an outing, as it doesnt stay in place all the time. If you wish for a longer sleep in the night, using a diaper for your baby would be a better option, as nappy pads can absorb at the maximum two pee's, depending on output, leading to more changes which wakes up baby and yourself and guess every one else around.
My next topic will be on a quick dry sheet.
