What are Diaper Pants? A Guide to Pampers Pull-On Diapers

At Pampers, your baby is the center of our world, too. That’s why all of our diapers are designed with baby in mind and are made from safe and effective ingredients. Let’s take a look at one of our most flexible diaper designs for the little ones on the move, Diaper Pants.

What Are Diaper Pants?

Diaper Pants are soft and stretchy, designed for infants who are 6 months and older. At this age, babies are beginning to crawl and flip onto their stomachs, making it harder for parents to put on a taped diaper. Instead, Diaper Pants can be pulled on like underpants on a standing baby. Diaper Pants are also very helpful during potty training, as they offer independence to your little one!

Diaper Pants typically have a flexible band around the waist and legs, fitting comfortably with baby's physique. Pampers unique S-curve waist design can provide less pressure around the belly and bottom to provide the comfort fit and gap-free fit around the waist 360°. Without side tape strips, parents don’t have to worry about their little one disturbing the tape with their milestone movements. Stretchy, easy-tear sides, and a disposal tape on the diaper make them a smart choice for when you are on-the-go and changing and disposing of diapers may not be easy.

Performance Features

Pampers Diaper Pants come in various sizes based on baby’s age and weight, and like our taped diapers, are highly absorbent and offer up to 100% leakproof protection.

Benefits of Using Diaper Pants for Babies

Here are some reasons why pull-on diapers are a great choice for your growing baby:

• Quick and easy changes. Perfect for standing or active babies who may not stay still during diaper changes.

• Comfortable fit. The soft, stretchy waistband provides a snug fit without being too tight.

How to Use Pampers Diaper Pants

Pampers Diaper Pants can be quickly pulled on and off, all while the baby is standing up!

1. Putting them on 

• Make sure the pants are oriented correctly. On the back, you’ll find the label “back,” along with the blue tabs for easy disposal.

• Slip your baby’s legs through the opening in Pampers pants and pull them up 

• Adjust the waistband and leg cuffs for a comfortable and snug fit.

2. Taking them off 

• While you can pull them on like pants, you don’t always need to pull them down like pants, which is especially useful when you’re dealing with a messy diaper 

• To remove, tear apart the sides and slowly slide them out from between your baby’s legs 

• Upgrade coming soon! Our Pampers Cruisers 360° will soon have new E♥Z Off tabs. Simply tear the E♥Z Off tabs until the diaper opens

• Roll up the diaper and use the disposal tape to secure them. Or with the new Cruisers 360° update, wrap up the diaper and use the tabs to secure and dispose of them properly

• Then, clean your baby as you normally do, and put on a fresh pair of Diaper Pants before sending them off on their next adventure!
