Diapers from the Japanese brand Maneki are of high quality and safe. The manufacturer has been working on the baby products market for about 8 years and has been producing not only diapers, but also other products for the care of delicate baby skin, starting from the very first days.
Features:
The Maneki brand is one of the leaders among Japanese companies in the production of children's goods. Russian buyers have already appreciated and loved their products. According to the manufacturer, the diapers are made of natural cotton and real cellulose, which guarantees complete safety for the baby's health.
In the production process, no chemical additives or artificial fragrances are used, which practically excludes the likelihood of irritation or allergic reactions on the skin. The production uses modern technologies and materials.
The outer layer of diapers made from natural raw materials allows air to circulate freely without creating a "greenhouse" effect. The inner layer instantly absorbs moisture, leaving the skin dry. Another advantage is the indicator strips, which promptly let the parents know that it is time to change the diaper. Pediatricians also recommend diapers of this brand, especially to children prone to dermatitis, allergic skin redness, and various irritations. Maneki diapers have the following advantages:
- fast absorption of moisture;
- even distribution over the entire area of the diaper;
- porous structure provides free air circulation;
- protection against leaks;
- indicator strips;
- high belt provides a secure fit;
- universal colors;
- hypoallergenic.
Maneki products have the following disadvantages:
- weak Velcro at the waist;
- high price.
Design
The Maneki company has one difference from other Japanese brands, which favorably distinguishes them on the Russian market: all the labels on the packaging have a Russian translation. The diapers are decorated with bright and large animal prints. As with other Japanese diapers, there is an indicator strip. Manufacturers do not focus on the design of diapers, the main thing is to produce really high-quality and safe products for children's health.
Size range
The manufacturer claims the following diaper sizes:
- S is designed for weight from 4 to 6 kg;
- M - from 6 to 11 kg;
- L - from 9 to 14 kg;
- XL - over 12 kg.
The dimensions correspond to the stated grid. In the case of other brands, undersized diapers are often found, but with Maneki this option is completely excluded.
How to choose the right size?
Not only the comfort of the baby depends on the correct size, but such unpleasant moments as leaks or rubbing are also excluded. According to the dimensional grid, S is the smallest size. It is designed for newborns and babies weighing up to 8 kg. In this size, the high elastic band can be tucked up so as not to catch the wound on the navel. Further, the size is selected as the baby grows and increases in weight.
The largest XL is designed for children weighing 12 pounds or more. These are children over one and a half years old who are already beginning to potty practice. For these purposes, it is recommended to use diaper panties.
What are they?
Until recently, the Maneki Fantasy series was the only one available to our customers. The popularity of this series is due to convenient packaging, lack of unpleasant odor, universal colors and a long shelf life (3 years). Later, a new series of Chibi Neko diapers and panties was launched, which became softer and thinner. And also in the new series of cuffs around the legs are made of a delicate material that effectively prevents leaks.
The special filling inside the diapers can hold 400 ml of liquid. Chibi Neko is designed for babies who are in constant motion.
In addition to diapers, the company produces diaper panties that have been developed specifically for active babies who are starting to potty training. The panties are also made of cellulose and cotton, and practically do not differ in characteristics. The sizes of the panties are designed for children from 6 kg. In total, such dimensions are presented:
- M (6-11 kg);
- L (9-14 kg);
- XL (from 12 kg).
The panties, as well as diapers, correspond to the sizes declared by the manufacturer. Some parents point out that there is even a small margin. They are put on quickly and effortlessly, like ordinary panties, they can be removed through the legs or by tearing the side seams. After use, the panties are twisted and glued with a special Velcro, which is on the back. The panties are available in two colors - with animals and characters from the Smeshariki cartoon.
But the panties differ not only in print, but also in structure. Smeshariki uses the latest technology that increases the breathability of the panties, so panties from this series are slightly more expensive.
What does the manufacturer promise?
The manufacturer guarantees the quality and safety of its goods. Diapers are made only of high quality and natural materials, which are completely safe for health and do not cause allergies. The characteristics state that the inner layer quickly and completely absorbs moisture, and getting wet does not lead to swelling or clumping (when part of it is swollen from moisture, and the other remains dry).
Special pores in the materials used and the embossed surface allow air to pass freely and prevent the appearance of diaper rash or irritation on the skin. The manufacturer guarantees protection against leaks due to special cuffs located around the legs and on the back. The need to change the diaper is indicated by a special indicator that changes color as the diaper is filled. Maneki diapers are not segregated by gender, they come in a versatile color that suits both boys and girls.
What are buyers saying?
Reviews of Maneki in most cases are positive, which again indicates their high quality. You can find a lot of reviews about Maneki Fantasy on the young parents' forums. Many parents feel that it is better to purchase high quality diapers for a little overpaying than to buy cheap diapers and put the baby's health at risk. Others are confident that quality diapers can be affordable. Buyers love the following points:
- compliance with the declared dimensional grid;
- lack of smell from diapers;
- acceptable price;
- soft belt and cuffs around the legs;
- the presence of an indicator strip;
- soft velvety inner layer.
There are also those who didn't like Japanese diapers. The disadvantages are poor quality of liquid absorption and leakage. Most often, leaks occur during a night's sleep, if the child pees frequently and the diaper was not changed on time. According to the manufacturer, the diaper can hold 400 ml of liquid, some children may exceed this volume, especially if they drank a lot of liquid during the day. In some cases, parents do not like how the liquid is distributed inside the diaper and the formation of a large lump after getting wet. Other buyers don't like the value for money.
The following points are disliked by buyers:
- uneven fluid distribution;
- not soft enough;
- tight belt and cuffs on the legs;
- the appearance of irritation after use;
- leakage;
- unpleasant chemical smell from the diaper.
When choosing a diaper for your baby, the main thing is to choose the right size in order to avoid such unpleasant moments as chafing or leaking. The smallest size is suitable for newborns; in the future, the choice of size depends on how intensively the baby is gaining weight. The Japanese manufacturer pleased with its quality and affordable price. Among the manufacturers of children's hygiene products, Maneki has confidently taken a leading position. They achieved this indicator largely due to the use of natural raw materials in their products and the absence of synthetic additives.
The brand has not yet been promoted, in some positions the quality is inferior to more well-known brands, but we can already say that in the near future Maneki products will take their rightful place on store shelves.
