"Disposable Diapers Can Expire? Find Out the Facts"

Dream - In the first year of life, a baby may need around 3,000 diapers. One thing to always remember is not to stock up too many disposable diapers in one size. Babies grow quickly and diaper sizes should be adjusted once a month.

Many parents are still confused about how long diapers can be stored or whether diapers can expire. Diapers that are stored properly tend to remain in good condition and not be damaged. Please read the following explanation about storage and expiration date of disposable diapers.

"Diapers do not have an expiration date"

Disposable diapers do not have an expiration date like formula milk. There is no need to worry about the safety of the materials in diapers if they have passed a certain period of time. However, most diaper manufacturers recommend using them within two years of purchase.

"Although diapers do not have a definite expiration date, their shelf life can vary depending on factors such as storage conditions, manufacturing materials, and others."
According to Bidisha Sarkar, MD, a pediatrician at Clinic Spots.

"Factors that Affect the Shelf Life of Diapers"

The selection of absorbent materials such as crystals or gels in disposable diapers can affect their shelf life. Some types of disposable diapers use easily degradable materials.

"Some types of disposable diapers that use easily degradable materials may experience a decrease in absorbency and effectiveness over time."

Storing diapers in a cool, dry place, and protected from direct sunlight helps maintain the quality of the diapers. Excessive light can change the color of the diapers to yellow, although this does not affect their use," said Pierrette Mimi Poinsett, MD, a pediatric specialist.

Humidity can also affect absorbency. Meanwhile, high temperatures can damage the adhesive and elasticity of diapers. Thus, increasing the risk of leakage. Actually, there are no health risks associated with the use of diapers that have been stored for a long time. However, after two years of use, the absorbency of diapers may decrease and the risk of leakage may increase. This can disrupt the comfort of using diapers for children. Storing diapers properly will extend their lifespan. Excess diapers should be stored in a cool, dry place, and protected from sunlight.

Make sure the area where you store the diapers is well-ventilated and protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is advisable to store the diapers in their original place.

"Be wise in buying diaper supplies, which should be enough for one month," advises Dr. Poinsett. (Report Report: Aisyah Cryshanty / Source: Parents.com)
