Review - The New Pampers Premium Pants

In today's fast moving generation,  it is so difficult to keep changing toddler's diapers again and again. Its getting hotter and humid day by day.  So the child tends to get rash around his sensitive areas due to continuous wearing of diapers.
The New Pampers Premium Pants is the right choice for my 4 years old nephew who faces the above mentioned problems. The long hours of absorbing nature of the diaper let's him play for hours without any irritation. The hypoallergenic lotion of aloe Vera keeps his skin safe and prevents rashes.
The diapers are smooth like talcum powder that it doesn't feel he is wearing a diaper. And the most important is the snug like fit of The New Pampers Premium Pants that makes him and his mumma so comfortable as it doesn't leak the fluid.
There are cute graphics on the pants which makes them different from regular diapers.
The New Pampers Premium Pants are reasonably priced and easily available at most of the shops and chemists. They are also easily available online too.

"Mumma, that's not out" says Pratham

I was aware that a child can change your life but never knew this way.
I have never been a sports person. I like to watch games but never followed any in particular.  This could be because I never had a brother who would watch or follow sports.  My dad followed tennis so I knew few rules of it but nothing more than that.
So when I got married,  I saw how someone could love a game.  Yes,  I am talking about my husband,  Pranay following cricket. My father in law and my sister in law too loved the game. But he was at another level.  The only thing I knew about cricket was Sachin Tendulkar and that also because of newspapers.
Pranay watched all possible matches whether they were test matches, 1 day matches or series (thank God IPL didn't exist that time). He would watch any match 100th time but yet see it as if watching it for the first time. That was his LOVE  for cricket.
I never tried to understand this game and was amused at the fact 11 people running after a ball.
So when I was blessed with a baby boy, I decided that cricket would never be given a preference.
Today, my 5 years old breathes only cricket.  He knows the names of most of the team captains with their bowling,  batting and wicket keeping techniques.  He also knows most of the players of each team (IPL and Nation teams). He made sure that I also learn and like cricket.  Off side,  leg side,  no ball,  wide ball,  fours,  sixes and Many more are the terms taught to me by my son,  Pratham.  He tells me who is batting,  bowling and who will come next.  He can recognize the players even if they wearing helmet.
Today, I sit with him and watch most of the matches and also accompany him to stadium to watch matches (I have never accompanied Pranay).
Pratham's favorite IPL team is Mumbai Indians and he loves to be called ROHIT SHARMA.

Pratham's all friends watch cartoons on TV or on YouTube. But pratham chooses to watch only cricket matches.

I call him Cricket "addict".  Yes,  anyone reading this would be surprised to read this word but he is truelly loves this sport.  People who knows us and him will also agree and understand why I am saying it. 

It makes me feel so proud when a Stanger comes and tells me " I know you are Pratham's mom and he truelly loves cricket".

A Tough Decision

It has been a roller coaster ride for me since my son was born.  Accomplishing all the milestones have been a challenge and fun too.  My friends kept making plans to go on a holiday leaving kids back at home but my conscience never allowed me to leave pratham for few days.  He has his Dadi,  Bade Papa,  Nani,  Nana, Masi and Bua who he loves and can stay with them too.  I always preferred to go for a 3 to 4 hours party where I would came back and see him sleeping.  When I wake up in the morning,  I would see him.  So this has been the routine for almost 5 years.
I always read or heard from parents that a break without kids is needed in today's lifestyle.  Main Reasons being :
A)  Child learns to be independent.
B)  the "WE"  time : The couple gets to spend time with each other as they barely talk anything else besides child related things.
C) As parents, we also get a break from our daily chores.

But this never made a big difference as I was never prepared to leave him alone for days. So we missed out on many activities which could be done only as couples.I always looked for family oriented outings and activities. My husband planned only boys trip.  But I could never think of leaving my son back home with his Papa and going on a holiday. 

But then comes up a very good friend's wedding which was outstation. It was important that we both attend it but we couldnt let my son bunk his school.  So after many ifs and buts,  it was decided that only my hubby and I go for the wedding leaving my son behind with my in-laws n my parents. 

Indeed a TOUGH DECISION.

Too many questions going on in my mind.  Is it the right thing am I doing? Will he be OK when I am not around? Will he hate me because I left him and went?
Ufff.. No end to the the anxiousness.

The final day came when we were leaving.  I was scared that he would cry if I left in front of him. So the thought came that I should leave when he is not around.  But then I felt that he should see me going with my suitcase so he knows I amnot around for few days. He was absolutely fine and smiling when I left though I had tears in my eyes. Till I reached airport,  I kept on thinking what he must be doing. On reaching the destination,  I called him up and he was absolutely fine.

We attended the functions and wedding and it was time to be back home.  I was super excited to Hug Pratham.
On reaching Mumbai,  I was thrilled to see his reaction.  Every minute seemed like an hour.  AND there he disembarks his school Bus.  We both hugged each other as if we met after years.  Wow..  What a feeling.

So true," There are lot of things that I am proud of but Nothing can beat being a Mom."

THE NEW PAMPERS PREMIUM PANTS - Product Review

                              

Watching  your child playing comfortably and sleeping well, is every mom’s wish. For many years Pampers has been associated with baby’s happy health development. After attending a superb launch event of New Pampers Premium Care pants, we were given the diaper pants for the review.

I (rather most of the mommies) associate diapers with Pampers. We rarely say diaper. We always say Pampers. It is like always saying change his Pampers or get his Pampers.



My son has over grown diapers. My nephew who is 2 years old came over to stay with us for few days. My sister in law never used Pampers so this was the best chance for both of us.
  • ·        The New Pampers diaper Pants has cute and unique graphics on them.
  • ·       They are as smooth as talcum powder giving a silky feeling.
  • ·       The all around waistband of the diaper pant is soft but at the same time it has snug fit so the fluid does not spill out.
  • ·       The baby lotion on it is also very safe.

My nephew is very hyper active who refuses to sit even for a second while awake. So changing diaper while he is playing has always been a task for his mum. But The New Pampers Premium Pants is very child friendly that she could make him wear it easily within few seconds. The wetness indicator on each diaper is so useful that she never had to worry by checking his diaper again. The indicator turning blue from yellow when in contact with fluid is very helpful.

While he was asleep, the wetness Indicator turned blue. It was so easy to tear the sides of used diaper and change into the new one. He did not even move an inch. While disposing it off, it was so easy to roll and put it in the disposable bag .

                                              my naughty nephew

One of the days, we had gone to the park with our kids. Due to lot of traffic during Ganpati festival, we were stuck for almost 7 hours and my sister in law forgot to carry extra since we thought that we would be back in 2 to 3 hours. But my nephew was enjoying the maximum and was not irritable at all. I feel the dryness in the diaper is what kept him enjoying and playing.

The New Diaper pants are also quite economic and easy on pocket. It has few sizes to suit age and weight of the baby.




As rightly said by the brand, “as soft as mother’s touch” that even my nephew enjoyed wearing by himself.

THE PAMPERS PREMIUM CARE PANTS PREVIEW



As rightly said, when a baby is born a parent is also born. Pampers has always been associated with baby diapers. Few days back I got a call from #BlogAdda team inviting me for the launch of a Pamper product at J.W.Marriot,Sahar, Mumbai. It was kept under wraps as to what it would be.The only statement I knew was  #softestforbabyskin.

As I reached the venue, I was guided to the banquet by the blogadda team. As I entered, I was astonished by the superb set up of the Pampers. Within few minutes, the event started.




We were introduced to Actress & TV presenter Mandira Bedi, Child sleep consultant Ajita Gopal Seethepalli, Pampers R&D Expert Dr. Wei Sing Long and Actress & Celebrity mother Tara Sharma. This preview was exclusive organised for ‘we’ mommy bloggers and bloggers.

Mandira started explaining to us that how important it is to have a diaper which is soft & dry, which a baby can hardly notice. There few inputs from the other experts too. Mandira & Tara shared their motherhood experiences. Tara also shared couple of her son’s childhood videos. Ajita explained for a baby’s healthy growth, his interaction with environment is very important. But for that the baby needs to be free from that soggy and heavy feeling of the diaper. Pampers is the right product for a growing baby.




On each table, there was a long box which had 3 partitions numbered 1,2 & 3 and next to it was a diaper pant. We were also handed over the voting machine. Now, without looking inside the box we were supposed to touch and feel the diaper and vote which one is the softest. 92% of the bloggers said No2 diaper is the softest. And just after that all the 4 experts launched the NEW PAMPERS PREMIUM CARE PANTS.


 



Pampers R & D expert Dr. Wei Sing Long explained the unique features of the NEW Pampers Premium Care Pants with demonstration. They are called 5 star skin protection   
  1.     Soft materials/ fabrics – here she made us feel the diaper from inside .
  2.    All around waistband and soft cuffs. 
  3.   Upto 12 hours of dryness – here she filled a test tube with a blue liquid and adding some absorbing agent and withing few seconds we saw that the liquid had become like a gel and never dripped out of the test tube. This proves that pampers core quickly absorbs helping keep wetness away from the skin to help skin protection.                           * According to me, this is one of the main highlight and superb feature of the diaper.   

     
                                 
     
  4.   Baby lotion –  She demonstrated by applying a small of lotion on a piece of yellow paper and spraying a fluid over it. The part where lotion was applied remained yellow and the rest of it turned brown proving that how lotion protects baby’s precious skin. 


  5.   Wetness Indicator – During showcasing of this feature, all 4 experts moved to the Demo table and showed us that after pouring lot of fluid, nothing spills out and how gradually the indicator outside the diaper turns from yellow to blue and its time for the parent to change the diaper J


Few questions were asked to the experts by the bloggers and they were answered very efficiently. Later, bloggers were allowed to ask their queries on one to one basis. We were gifted  the amazing goodies from Pampers and blogadda.

I must say the event was superbly organised and beautifully executed. Pampers has taken great efforts in researching and innovating  the diaper.
