What are the differences between the 2 types of Closure System for diaper： loop-fastening diapers and waist-fastening diapers?

The main differences between loop-fastening diapers and waist-fastening diapers lie in their appearance, way of wearing and taking off, and applicable age.

Difference in appearance:

The appearance of loop-fastening diapers is similar to a pair of small underpants, with a 360-degree circular elastic waistline. While waist-fastening diapers have parts for waist stickers to be adhered on both left and right sides. The front and rear ends have waist stickers and left and right ear stickers respectively, which are attached to the front waist sticker through adhesive tapes or magic buckles, forming an underpants shape with a three-dimensional structure.

Difference in the way of wearing and taking off:

When wearing loop-fastening diapers, parents stretch open both sides of the diaper, allowing the baby to put each foot in one by one. When taking them off, just tear open the sides at the crotch to remove them easily. When wearing waist-fastening diapers, first unfold the diaper, place it at a higher position on the baby's waist, unfold the diaper to fit the baby's body, and then stick the waist stickers well. When taking the diaper off, unfasten the waist stickers, lift the baby's little bottom, and then take out the diaper.

Difference in applicable age:

Loop-fastening diapers are suitable for babies who start to learn to turn over (after 6 to 8 months), suitable for babies with increased activity and those who start to learn to crawl and walk, and are suitable for going out. While waist-fastening diapers are suitable for babies from newborns too before they learn to turn over (within 6 to 8 months). At this time, babies have less activity, and parents can easily change diapers for the baby when the baby is sleeping or lying flat. 

Overall, both types of diapers have their own characteristics. When choosing, it is necessary to decide based on the actual situation and needs of the baby. 

 For instance, some babies might feel more comfortable in loop-fastening diapers during outdoor activities as they provide better freedom of movement. On the other hand, for newborns who mostly lie down, waist-fastening diapers might be more convenient for parents to handle.
