Once your little one starts toddling, walking, or even running around, the nappy you choose becomes even more crucial. It's not just about keeping them dry and comfortable anymore: leaks quickly become your top concern now that your child is so much more mobile. Here's how to choose the right nappy for your toddler — and avoid extra leaks as they become more active.
Prioritise Trusted Brands
When it comes to nappies, you definitely want to choose quality over budget. In the long run, you won't be satisfied with a discounted version that just isn't up to snuff, so opt for a brand you know and trust like Pampers. After all, a high-quality nappy comes with peace of mind — an absolute essential for parents of toddlers.
Consider Their Development Stage
Part of parenting is adjusting your approach every few months as your child grows and enters new phases of their development. Remember, a toddler who's crawling all over the house at lightning speed has much different needs than a newborn baby. All of that extra movement means you need nappy pants that fit snugly. Pampers® Baby-Dry™ Nappy Pants come with double-leg cuffs and a 360-degree fit to hug your toddler's bum. Combine that with the easy pull-on and pull-off design, and you've got nappy pants beautifully designed for your wiggly, energetic toddler.
Consult the Size Guide Carefully
Of course, ensuring your toddler's nappy fits well is key. When they're growing so fast, it can be tough to keep track of what size they're wearing now. Use their weight to find the proper size in this handy Pampers size guide, then try it on your little one to check the fit. Properly fitting nappy pants should come just below your child's belly button, with a snug fit around both the legs and waist with no visible gaps. You should be able to run two fingers underneath the waistband and leg cuffs easily, though.
Look For Leak-Preventing Features
All of that extra movement — from your toddler's first few wobbly steps to their enthusiastic dashes across the playground — means you'll need to be extra vigilant about leaks. Look for nappy pants with built-in leak protection, like the Stop and Protect Pocket in Pampers® Baby-Dry™ Nappy Pants (£4 for 19). When you know your nappy comes with up to 12 hours of leak protection, you can feel more confident about going anywhere and everywhere with your little one — from the park to day trips to family holidays.
