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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Clinical Effects of Diaper Types on the Skin of Normal Infants and Infants with Atopic Dermatitis
Every baby deserves skin care that's gentle enough for even the most delicate skin. For nearly 40 years, Pampers scientists have led that mission — starting with the world's first clinical study of diapers on babies with eczema (Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, Seymour et al., 1987), which demonstrated the skin benefits of Pampers' pioneering super-absorbent core — the same absorption principle behind today's Pampers Swaddlers, Amore, and Baby-Dry.
The Effects of Wearing Diapers on Skin
Every baby deserves gentle, dry skin protection. In a foundational Pediatric Dermatology study (Zimmerer et al., 1986), Pampers scientists proved a simple but powerful truth: wet skin is more fragile skin. That discovery still drives every Pampers innovation today — advanced absorbent cores, breathable materials, and skin-protective liners in Pampers Swaddlers, Amore, and Baby-Dry.
Clinical Studies with Disposable Diapers Containing Absorbent Gelling Materials: Evaluation of Effects on Infant Skin Condition
Every baby deserves skin that stays dry, comfortable, and healthy — from their very first cuddle to their busiest playtime. Pampers has been advancing the science of gentle care for nearly 40 years, from our pioneering super-absorbent core (Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, Campbell et al., 1987) to today's Pampers Swaddlers, Pampers Amore, and Baby-Dry — continuously refined to help protect against the causes of diaper rash to keep babies of every generation dry, calm, and happy.
