Choose diapers by fit, frequent changes and regulatory findings, not brand prestige
No official body has ranked a single best brand. Check product-quality inspection notices and investigations of specific incidents. Expensive or imported does not guarantee safety. Try a small pack for a week, checking rash and pressure marks before stocking up.
What it takes
Roughly RMB 200–300 to over RMB 1,000 monthly in China, depending on product choice.
What you may gain
The book makes no brand recommendation because no official best-brand ranking was found. Verifiable information consists of China's market regulator's quality-inspection notices and investigations into particular events. After concerns about formamide in infant diapers in June 2026, the State Administration for Market Regulation led a joint investigation.
Context & considerations
TODO: verify the investigation's conclusions and formal regulator notice. Price and import status do not prove quality. Trial a small pack and watch for rash or tight marks. The author emphasizes infrequent changing and poor ventilation as major rash factors rather than brand alone. See Chapter 5 for checking inspection notices.
