Abstract
Aim: To assess the possibility of using Tanoshi nappies and pants for the prevention of diaper dermatitis, their safety and tolerability by newborns and babies under 2 years of age.
Design. Prospective cohort study.
Materials and methods. The study included 50 children with the weight 2 to 28 kg under 2 years of age without any signs of skin diseases, including nappy (pants) area. Proposed items were used for 14 days subject to timely change 4–7 times daily after bowel movement and during hygienic procedures 1–2 times daily. Skin was visually assessed by a children’s doctor on day 1, day 7, and day 14 of the study (M. Odio skin assessment tool).
Results. On day 1, day 7, and day 14, all children had 0 points for their skin assessment of waist, buttocks, genitals, anal region, inguinal fold (M. Odio skin assessment tool). Assessment of the skin in the nappy and pants area after 14 days of use did not show any signs of dryness, irritation, oedema, and erosions from the contact with a nappy.
Conclusion. All 50 newborns and babies under 2 years of age who used disposable Tanoshi nappies and pants in the real clinical practice over 2 weeks did not show any signs of diaper dermatitis. It proves that the nappies are safe and well tolerated by children under 2 years of age with proper skin care. Tanoshi nappies and pants can be recommended for children under 2 years of age who do not have any skin conditions and diseases.
