Every parent will be preoccupied with preparing all the baby equipment when welcoming his birth. Of the various kinds of baby equipment, one of the most important is choosing the right baby diapers. Baby diapers are a necessity that must be provided since newborns are born because they cannot yet manage their own urination or defecation. Not only does it hold the baby's poop, but it also makes it easier for parents who are just learning to take care of their little ones.
Choosing diapers for your little one should not be arbitrary. Parents must consider well how the quality of the diapers. Starting from the material or material, the features it has, its absorbency to whether or not it matches the skin of your little one who tends to be sensitive. Now a variety of diapers are present to help parents, ranging from the type of cloth diapers to disposable diapers. The use of diapers itself has been done from centuries ago since ancient times. Although the function is the same, which is to accommodate baby's poop in large quantities and for a long period of time, but do you know how the evolution of diapers from year to year and its development until today?
The history of diapers is actually quite interesting and full of surprising facts that may not be known by many people. There are several historical documents that show that diapers have been used in ancient times, where babies were seen using diapers. Unlike today's soft and comfortable diapers, back then babies used diapers made of leaves, animal skins, moss, linen and other natural materials to help protect the baby's skin and prevent diseases from spreading germs. Even diapers themselves were symbolic of the distinction between humans and animals.
Cloth diapers were first used by whole communities in England in the mid to late 1500s. At this time, awareness of the cleanliness and health of the baby's skin was still very lacking and caused diapers to be rarely changed. As medical science progressed, this practice began to disappear and it was discovered that human feces were the source of disease. Then, in the late 1800s, babies in Europe and the United States used cloth diapers made of linen or flannel cloth fastened with safety pins. Unfortunately, the pins often broke and the cloth leaked. Cloth diapers were also considered less practical because they had to be washed many times and even soaked with boiling water to kill germs and bacteria in the early 1900s.
Emergence of Disposable Diapers in the World
The increasing demand for clean diapers led to the idea of disposable diapers in 1942, which were invented in Sweden. The disposable diapers were made of rubber and tissue because cotton was still very difficult to obtain. After the emergence of these disposable diapers, many other disposable diapers began to emerge. The innovation of disposable diapers continued to grow in the following years. Technological developments made manufacturers enterprising in innovating. As a result, disposable diapers then used absorbent polymers, more elastic binders and plaster as a lock.
About Baby Diapers in Indonesia
In Indonesia itself, using disposable diapers started in the 1980s. However, disposable diapers in those years could be said to be an expensive luxury item. Because generally these disposable diapers are used by babies from expatriate circles and are sold at quite expensive prices. It was only in the 1990s that the use of disposable baby diapers was used by many people. Parents can be helped by the existence of disposable diapers and do not need to bother cleaning up their little one's poop.
Disposable baby diapers have also evolved to suit the needs of today's parents. Disposable baby diapers have become more practical and efficient with a wide selection of sizes and variations. But unfortunately, there are not a few cases of skin problems such as diaper rash, allergies, skin blisters, swelling and reddened baby skin.
Brief History of MAKUKU SAP Diapers
Despite the rapid development over the years, disposable diapers contain a pulp structure core in the first phase. More than 95% of diapers in Indonesia still use pulp structure core. Then, in the second phase, disposable baby diapers use a mixture of pulp and SAP. And, until now most diapers sold in the market still use a mixture of pulp (wood fiber or cotton). While known, the pulp mixture is less effective in reducing diaper rash and leakage.
The breakthrough made by MAKUKU as a pioneer of diapers with SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer) core structure technology that makes diapers thinner, absorbs quickly and evenly and is anti-clump. This is the reason why MAKUKU diapers are super thin, super absorbent and anti-clog which effectively reduces diaper rash. With the sophistication of the SAP core structure as an absorbent material, the surface of the baby diaper becomes drier, able to keep the baby's skin moist and the baby actively moves without fear of the diaper clumping and making it uncomfortable.
Anti-clumping
Clumping diapers have absorption at one point only. This means that the liquid absorbed by the diaper does not spread over the entire surface of the diaper and is only absorbed at one point. This accumulation of liquid is what makes the diaper easy to clump, heavy and feel falling. As well as making the surface of the diaper moist and wet so that the growth of bacteria and fungi that trigger diaper rash can multiply quickly.
Therefore, choosing diapers with high absorbency and anti-clumping is highly recommended.

U shape belly button
