The main requirement that moms have for diapers is a guarantee of dryness and a feeling of protection during their use. Products should not cause irritation and redness on the skin, should not tighten the legs with too tight elastic bands. Unfortunately, not all models offered on the market meet these requirements. Helen Harper products are very popular among young parents due to the optimal combination of price and quality.
Features:
Our mothers and grandmothers had to literally wash mountains of diapers, dry them several times, and then iron them. With the creation of diapers, the life of young parents has become noticeably easier - now there is no need to spend a lot of time cleaning stained baby clothes, and the kids themselves are much more comfortable - they stay dry longer, sleep more peacefully and play more fun.
All mommies need is just to take the diaper out of the package and put it on the baby. Nowadays, on the shelves of shops you can find products from a variety of manufacturers. Helen Harper undoubtedly belongs to one of these brands.
Helen Harper is a Belgian brand that specializes in disposable products. The assortment line of the trade brand includes diapers, as well as children's panties and wet wipes; it also produces pads and products for the elderly with senile incontinence. The diapers of this company are consistently among the best sellers all over the world.
Products are made from high quality, environmentally friendly materials that undergo mandatory testing. All well-known retail chains, as well as pharmacies, sell Helen Harper products. In large supermarkets, you can find all varieties of your favorite diapers, and in small outlets, the most top positions are offered, which are in greatest demand among young parents.
For greater comfort, the manufacturer offers its products in large and small packages. If you buy diapers for home use, it is better to take a large one, and small ones will become a lifesaver on travels and trips.
Helen Harper is distinguished by the consistently high quality of its products for babies, they are literally created to keep the skin of the baby soft. As a result, the inner surface of the diaper remains dry even after urinating, since a special top layer prevents moisture from penetrating back to the surface of the material. It should be noted that the diaper of this company can even absorb liquid stool - this is especially convenient if the child went on a big trip, when the mother does not have the opportunity to immediately change the underwear.
The brand's diapers are supplemented with soft but tight Velcro, which ensure maximum fit of the belt to the baby's body, and the side cuffs completely eliminate the possibility of leaks.
Older children will love the design of the diaper - each of them has a funny image that creates a good mood for both children and their parents. Among the disadvantages of the product, one can note the sagging of diapers, which is not always convenient during walks. Lumps and even "flooding" can be seen in the morning, especially in children who have frequent urination. Another unpleasant feature is the Velcro, which is constantly unfastened.
Varieties
The company's products for babies are presented in several series.
Air comfort
These are breathable diapers equipped with an absorbent inner layer that reliably protects the baby from diaper rash. A feature of the product is the presence of superabsorbent, due to which urine is instantly absorbed and reliably held inside the filler. The diapers fit snugly to the baby's body due to the elastic band and physiological shape. Wearing a diaper is as comfortable as possible for the baby, it does not cause chafing and tightening.
The outer layer is breathable, so that under the diaper there is no so-called greenhouse effect, which many mothers of boys are so afraid of. For maximum protection of the skin from irritation, the working surface of the product is treated with an extract of aloe vera.
As part of the series, you can purchase diapers in several sizes: Mini, Midi, Maxi, Junior. Accordingly, the product assumes the use of diapers by children weighing from 4 to 25 kg.
Users' opinions about diapers in this series are mostly positive - the models are soft, thin, elastic and inexpensive. However, parents note that products of sizes 3 and 4 leak a little, and as they fill, they become very heavy and rub the legs, the baby is rather uncomfortable in them, and slight irritation appears on the bottom.
Soft & Dry
The diapers of this series are positioned as absorbent, providing softness and dryness to the skin. Among the advantages of the series, users note the tight fit to the body due to reliable elastic bands, a special configuration and the presence of a breathable layer inside. Pampers of this brand are thinner than all others, they are delicate and soft to the touch.
Products are made in sizes 3, 4 and 5, that is, Maxi, as well as Junior and Mini are aimed at children weighing 4 kg.
It should be noted that the products of this series have much more adherents than the previous one. Parents note the high absorbency, the models do not cause irritation and diaper rash on the skin. However, for a night's sleep, it is better not to use them, because as you use them, diapers begin to leak heavily, there is no moisture indicator in them, and in addition, the elastic around the legs is rather tight, which leads to the appearance of prints on the baby's skin.

According to advertising claims, these diapers keep babies dry for up to 8 hours. The undoubted advantage of the model data is considered to be an overestimated fit, physiological shape, and the presence of reusable Velcro. Pampers of this type contain three layers, which provide a high absorbency and guarantee long-term dryness.
Helen Harper Baby are soft models, it is noteworthy that they have a cutout for the umbilical wound, so you can safely use such diapers for newborns.
According to the parents' reviews, these products can be rated at 4.5 points out of 5 - they are hypoallergenic, do not give off an odor and perfectly hold even liquid feces of crumbs. However, there were some drawbacks - Helen Harper diapers for newborns are often "small size", the elastic at the back does not have the required elasticity, so a complete fit cannot be guaranteed.
Helen Harper Kids Panties
An interesting trend in recent years has become panties-shaped diapers, they are presented in the product line of almost every famous brand. Panties-diapers of this brand have rather elastic cuffs, which are very tight but soft to the body and protect from leaks. Due to its special softness, the baby's legs do not rub, and the high elasticity of the elastic band allows you to take off and put on products without any problems. If it becomes necessary to quickly remove the panties, then you can simply break the sidewalls.
The absorbency of the product is quite high, they have a full indicator, so they do not leak or become heavy. However, some users report an allergic reaction.
A new type of panties-diapers have become models intended for swimming. They are made of a special material that stays completely dry in water, have elastic bands that protect the baby from all sides.
In such panties, the baby feels good both in the open water and in the indoor pool. Users note that the product does not leak.
By the way, some parents dry these diapers and then put them on again. However, this is only possible if the diaper remains clean.
How to choose?
When choosing a diaper, it is very important to choose the correct size for the baby's body weight. If the diapers are smaller than necessary, then the elastic can rub the delicate skin of the crumbs, and if you buy a more spacious model, the fit will be insufficient, and leaks cannot be avoided.
As a rule, the following values are indicated on the packages:
- 3-6 kg;
- 4-9 kg;
- 9-18 kg and more.
They roughly determine the weight of the baby, which this or that model is focused on. However, this parameter is rather approximate, since the weight and body condition of the child can vary significantly. For example, a baby weighing 7 kg can be tall, but at the same time very thin - a diaper with a marking of 3-6 kg will sit on it perfectly. Conversely, a short and well-fed child needs a larger type of diaper. Determining the best option can only be experienced.
Surely many parents have noticed that diapers of the same brand can differ in their cost. This is due to the fact that the inner layer contains different amounts of absorbent, and its structure is completely different. This factor will largely determine the absorbency of the product - the more expensive the product, the more reliable it is. As a rule, the names of the highest quality models contain the definitions “extra”, “premium” and “super”.
The modern industry produces diapers separately for boys and girls. Many people think that they differ only in design, but this is not so. The sex of the product is determined by the location of the absorbent in the inner layer - for boys it is located closer to the belly, and for girls - in the middle. In addition, there are universal models on the market in which the absorbent layer is more evenly distributed.
A little advice - when purchasing a diaper for the first time, do not immediately buy a large package. To begin with, it is better to test the products for the quality of fit, the likelihood of leaks. Even the most expensive and high-quality diaper may not be suitable for a child due to the peculiarities of the figure and structure of the skin.
A distinctive feature of newborns is a rather frequent loose stool, so for such crumbs there is no point in purchasing products with a large layer of absorbent - it is obvious that every two hours you will need to change the diaper, so its working capacity will not be half full. In the daytime, it is quite possible to limit yourself to simpler and cheaper products.
After the birth of a child, many mothers look into their "panties" every few minutes to make sure they are dry and free of any irritations on the skin. Such parents will surely appreciate the high quality reusable Velcro.
However, for your own peace of mind, it is better to purchase products with a humidity indicator, which allow you to understand without additional checks when it is necessary to change the diaper.
Reviews
Helen Harper products have earned recognition from users around the world for the affordability, low cost and high absorbency of their diapers.
At the same time, many users note that the elastic bands of products of all series do not always adhere tightly enough to the child's skin, which often leads to leaks.
In addition, some parents believe that the products begin to get wet as they fill up and often cause diaper rash on the baby's skin.
However, the manufacturer claims that all of these adverse effects can be avoided if the rules for the use of diapers are followed.
Irritation on the skin is not caused by adsorbents, but by urine and feces, so if the baby stays in a used diaper for a long time, then even the highest quality of the latter will not save him from rashes and redness. After each change, the skin must be wiped with a damp cloth and treated with baby cream or powder.
