Improving Diaper Performance for Extremely Low-Birth-Weight Infants
Pampers is committed to meeting the unique needs of NICU babies with the most sensitive skin. Research published in Clinical Pediatrics (Sanchez et al., 2018), gathered crucial insights from NICU nurses on designing diapers for Extremely Low-Birth-Weight (ELBW) infants. This study validated that 93% of nurses preferred Pampers' test diaper, specifically engineered for ELBW babies’ sensitive skin and developmental needs, over their current diaper routine. This demonstrates Pampers’ dedication to responsive innovation that supports optimal fit, positioning, and skin health for even the tiniest infants
The impact of diaper design on mitigating known causes of diaper dermatitis
Pampers consistently innovates diaper design to prevent diaper rash. Our scientists, through a key study in Pediatric Dermatology (Gustin et al., 2018), demonstrated how Pampers' advanced topsheet design with unique perforations significantly improves absorption of runny messes, especially hard-to-contain breastfed infant stool. This specialized top layer effectively keeps stool away from baby's delicate skin, absorbing 4X more thicker mucousy stool, reducing direct contact and mitigating a known primary cause of diaper dermatitis, simultaneously reducing leakages and providing added convenience for parents, ensuring cleaner and more comfortable changes for your baby.
Diapering, Diaper Technology, and Diaper Area Skin Health
Diaper technology has dramatically evolved to improve baby skin health. A comprehensive review by Pampers scientists in Pediatric Dermatology (Odio & Thaman, 2014) details how innovations like superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) and advanced breathable covers that Pampers' diapers has, have significantly reduced the prevalence and severity of diaper rash over recent decades. This continuous advancement ensures Pampers' diapers actively contribute to healthy skin for babies globally.
Safety evaluation of superabsorbent baby diapers
This paper provides an overview of the exposure-based human health risk assessment process used by Pampers for absorbent hygiene products. It outlines how materials, design features and potential consumer exposures are evaluated before launch and how product safety is continually verified through post-market surveillance. This exemplifies the rigorous safety processes that Pampers uses to evaluate the ingredients and materials in their diapers and wipes.
Exposure Factor considerations for safety evaluation of modern disposable diapers
Pampers ensures baby safety through robust, data-driven scientific assessments. Research published in Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology (Dey et al., 2016), led by Pampers scientists, details our comprehensive methodology for evaluating diaper safety. This study precisely quantifies crucial exposure factors and frequency of use, confirming that Pampers' rigorous, science-based approach ensures our diapers are safe for daily use and free from harmful ingredients.
Safety of Disposable Diaper Materials: Extensive Evaluations Validate Use
Pampers' unwavering commitment to baby safety is backed by extensive scientific validation. Research published in Clinical Pediatrics (Dey et al., 2014), led by Pampers scientists, confirms that our disposable diapers are made from materials that undergo rigorous safety evaluations. This comprehensive study validates that every material in Pampers diapers is extensively tested and proven safe for its intended use. It also confirms Pampers diapers are made WITHOUT ingredients of concern like BPA, chlorine, phthalates, parabens, dioxins, and formaldehyde, providing parents complete peace of mind and demonstrating that Pampers' materials and ingredients are clean and skin friendly.
