Mom's life was greatly facilitated with the appearance of diapers, but periodically the "fly in the ointment" is made by the mass media, reporting that disposable diapers can negatively affect the childbearing function in the future. Therefore, young parents often wonder whether it is possible to wear diapers to boys.
Which diapers are best for boys?
Modern diaper consists of two layers: absorbent (cellulose and gel) and waterproof (polyester and polyurethane). Due to this composition diapers reduce the contact of the delicate skin of the baby with moisture, prevent friction and the appearance of diaper dermatitis (irritation of the skin in the perineum). When purchasing diapers for boys, pay attention to the following points:
- choose diapers strictly in accordance with the weight of the baby;
- pay attention to the integrity of the package and the shelf life of the product;
- choose proven manufacturers.
Myths about the dangers of diapers
- Any pediatrician can confirm the fact that the development of spermatozoa in boys begins with 7-8 years of age, so diapers can not negatively affect boys and cause infertility in the future.
- Diapers provide the position of the child's hip joints in a similar way to the "free diaper" position recommended by pediatricians around the world, so they can not bend the legs of babies.
- Diapers do not interfere with training a child to a pot, this problem is also common in children whose mothers did not use disposable diapers. Most likely, the time has not yet come when the baby deliberately does not want to be wet.
Parents who are wondering whether diapers for boys are harmful, you need to follow simple rules, thanks to which the child will feel comfortable.
- Do not use diapers more than 4 hours for newborn boys;

How to properly wear a baby diaper?
Some mothers are concerned about how to properly wear a diaper so as not to disrupt the position of the male organ. There is no special methodology for this, the main rule is that everything lies in a natural position and is directed downward. If you have correctly chosen the size of a diaper, given the weight of the baby, the baby will be comfortable and lie, and sit and crawl in the diaper. Do not forget to spread the gum on the diaper so that they do not rub the skin of the baby, and also make sure that the Velcro will not be fastened too tightly (two fingers should be placed between the diaper and the tummy).
