Remember when you brought home your little bundle of joy? Every moment spent together was one of pure happiness.

So, when did your little one turn into this writhing and restless, annoyed baby? One that just can’t seem to get done with diaper changes quickly enough.

Well, this might be your little munchkin’s way of telling you that they have grown enough to be promoted to a senior level of wearing diaper pants.

So, really how different is a pant style diaper from a tape style diaper? Why should you buy one? And most importantly, when is a good time to buy diaper pants for your baby?

We have got all the answers for you right here, so keep reading!

How are diaper pants and tape style diapers different?

• Diaper pants are ideal for big babies who are disgruntled about not getting a well-deserved promotion. While, tape style diapers are more suitable for newborn babies.
• Tape style diapers can be adjusted onto the newborn baby’s navel to protect it from chafing and rubbing against the diaper waistband. When your baby’s umbilical cord has fallen off they can start wearing diaper pants.
• A tape style diaper requires for your baby to be comfortably lying down, whereas a pant style diaper can be quickly pulled on like a regular underwear.
• Tape style diapers are available in various sizes, but your baby can start wearing diaper pants around the time they are 6 kg or half a year old.

Why should you buy diaper pants?

• It is just easier to pull on diaper pants quickly when your little one is trying to wriggle away far from you during diaper changes.
• It is much harder for a tape style diaper to keep up with your baby’s vigorous movements once they are in play mood. A tape style diaper might come off from one or both sides during its wear.
• Tape style diapers become a setback when your baby needs to start potty training. You are going to have to step in and help remove the diaper every time they need to use the washroom.
• Removing a pant style diaper is very easy as these can be simply torn off at the sides and disposed easily.
• When you are outside of home or travelling, pulling on and disposing diaper pants is easy-peasy.

Some moms may continue to have their babies wear tape style diapers which is completely fine. You don’t need to stress it too much!
