Talking about the circle of friends of diapers

Someone said, "Never buy diapers with a few cents in a circle of friends. You will get what you pay. "

Here, you must remind your mother that you must look at the ingredients on the outer packaging when buying diapers. It is cheap to have "fluff pulp" in it, but expensive to have "pure polymer resin" in it.

So I quickly took out the two diapers bought by the WeChat circle of friends at home and compared them to see the ingredients. It's much more reassuring to find these two models without fluff pulp.

So what's the harm of fluff pulp?

First, let's learn about fluff pulp.

Fluff pulp is wood pulp and straw pulp after bleaching and extracting organic solvents. It is a kind of paper pulp, which is used to produce water-absorbing media for various sanitary products.

The general requirements of fluff pulp products are good water absorption and fast diffusion; Fluff pulp fiber should be high in whiteness, soft and elastic, and the integrity of the core pad should be good, which meets the specified hygiene index.

Fluff pulp has to go through cooking, washing, bleaching, concentration and other processes in the production process. Conifer wood is the best raw material to produce fluff pulp, but China's forest resources, especially coniferous wood resources, are scarce. The production cost in fluff pulp is very high.

So what kind of fluff pulp is harmful?

Inferior fluff pulp is often made of paper towels, sanitary napkins, scraps, and cotton pulp with blood and pus recovered from hospitals. Whitening after bleaching with fluorescent agent makes the external light look very white. Fluorescent substances can cause cell variation, and there may be potential carcinogenic factors if excessive exposure to fluorescent agents.

More importantly, fluorescent substances are not as easy to decompose as general chemical components, but accumulate in the human body, greatly weakening human immunity and endangering human health.

So before buying diapers for your baby, be sure to look at the main ingredients on the outer packaging. Whether it is harmful to baby's skin.
