You want to keep your baby fresh, leak-free and their skin protected, especially when they’re on the move. If that's the case, you might want to consider making the switch from taped nappies to nappy pants.

You may be wondering what the main differences between them are, and how you’ll know if your tot is ready for nappy pants. Here’s your need-to-know guide to make changing time a breeze.

1. Nappy pants fit very differently to nappies

As your baby goes about their day, they need a nappy that can adapt with them.

While regular nappies may become loose as your little one plays or digests their milk, the 360 ° fit on Pampers Baby-Dry Nappy Pants means the waistband flexes to your baby’s shape. As a result, your little one gets a nappy pant that stays on and in place with no gaps or leaks.

2. Nappy pants are designed to keep your baby’s skin dry and protected

When your baby was tiny it probably felt like you were changing their nappy every five minutes to keep them fresh and comfy.

Now they are a bit older, your baby needs changing less but they still need to be kept super dry to protect their delicate skin. Especially as wet skin becomes more uncomfortable and prone to irritation as your baby moves.

Pampers Baby-Dry Nappy Pants have three absorbent layers, including a super absorbent core that locks wetness away from the skin. This provides your baby up to 12 hours of breathable dryness for maximum skin comfort and protection.

3. Nappy pants are available in smaller sizes ...

Most people associate nappy pants with potty training, but your little one can wear them much earlier.

Pampers Baby-Dry Nappy Pants are available from Size 3 (6-11kg) making them a great choice as soon as your little one starts to move. They go all the way up to Size 7 (17+kg).

Be sure to regularly check the fit of your little one’s nappy pants to make sure they are still in the right size – if they aren’t covering your baby’s bottom, or your tot keeps pulling at the nappy pants, they might be too small.

4. … and have cool designs!

Nappies often feature cute animals on the front, perfect for your little baby. But as they grow older, your baby starts to broaden their horizons … and before long you’ll have a superhero fan in your home!

Which is why they’ll love the superhero range of Pampers Baby-Dry Nappy Pants which feature Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman. Available from Size 4 (9-15kg) up to Size 6 (15+kg), the nappy pants will give the perfect fit all the way through to potty training.

It’s no wonder they are the UK’s no.1 for nappy pants.*

5. Nappy pants are easy to put on AND take off

Remember the days when you had a newborn and nappy changes were pretty simple? Now your baby is learning to roll and wriggle, things aren’t quite so easy.

If this sounds like your baby, then it might be time to switch to nappy pants which are much easier to change on a baby who is on the move. Simply pop your baby’s legs through the leg holes and pull the nappy pants up. Easy peasy.

(Remember to put used nappy pants in your household waste, not in your recycling bin or flushed down the toilet.)

According to Pampers, lots of parents move from nappies to nappy pants when their baby is between six and nine months old. Every baby is different though, so don’t worry if you want to make the change earlier or later than this.
