Reusable nappies have a soft and gentle feel, which make them perfect for sensitive skin, but they are not as absorbent as their competition. Disposable nappies have been proven to be more effective in preventing the most common types of nappy rashes, such as irritant dermatitis, which occurs due to the moisture from urine and feces that does not get absorbed, but rather stays stuck against the skin. If you choose to have your infant son circumcised, it is often recommended to use disposable nappies during the healing process due to their effective absorbency. They help keep the area dry and clean, are more breathable and less irritating, and reduce the risk of infection.
