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.

Nappy Pads

Until recently, I was not aware of any other brand in nappy pads space except for Johnson & Johnson. Suddenly, there are some big brands like: Huggies, Wiprosoft and soon EasyFit.

I can't put it down only to diversification because I'm sure, there must be a large enough market or margin and hence the new entrants.

Well, the benefit for us - is that the prices are getting competitive.

For eg. J&J sells 20 pcs for MRP 115 which works out to Rs. 5.75/- per piece.

Huggies followed the same pricing but gives a better margin to the retailers, allowing them to pass that on to consumers.

Wiprosoft made it more competitive at Rs. 60/- for 12 pcs. That makes Rs. 5/- per pc.

Soon, if not already, EasyFit will be entering the market with Rs. 275/- for 60 pcs which makes it Rs. 4.60/- per pc. They have added one more feature to the nappy pads. They have added leak guards as well and I think that's a pretty smart thing to do. So it has most of the features of a diaper at half the price of a diaper.
