Let’s face it—babies are beautiful, joyful, and… wildly unpredictable when it comes to their diapers. One moment they’re peacefully napping, and the next, you're knee-deep in an outfit change, a crib sheet swap, and yet another load of laundry.

While leaks and blowouts may seem like an inevitable part of parenting, they don’t have to be. At Parasol, we believe in designing with intention—from our materials to our fit—so that you and your baby can spend less time stressing about leaks, and more time enjoying every little moment.

What Really Causes Diaper Leaks & Blowouts?

Leaks usually happen because of one or more of the following reasons:

• The diaper size isn’t right for your baby’s body

• The diaper isn’t fitted securely or positioned correctly

• The leg cuffs are tucked in instead of flared out

• The diaper is already full and hasn't been changed in time

• The diaper can’t absorb fast enough—or hold enough

These may sound simple, but behind each of them is a design or material challenge most diapers don’t fully address.

Parasol’s Solution: It’s All in the Details

We tackle leakage not just with one fix—but with a cohesive design that works from the inside out:

3D Leg Cuff Design 

Our 3D leg cuffs are carefully engineered to fit snugly without digging in. They act like a flexible seal around your baby’s legs, moving with them as they crawl, roll, kick, or play—all while helping prevent side leaks that often happen during motion or sleep.

Dual-Layer SAP Core

Not all diapers absorb the same. Some use lower-grade SAP (super absorbent polymers) that either absorb slowly or become saturated quickly.
Parasol uses two types of premium SAP in a layered design:

• The top-layer SAP absorbs super fast, pulling liquid away from the skin within seconds.

• The bottom SAP is built for maximum capacity, locking in moisture to keep your baby dry longer—even overnight.

This thoughtful structure allows our diapers to work smarter under pressure, literally.

More Ways to Prevent Leaks at Home

Check the Fit

Make sure the diaper hugs your baby’s waist and legs snugly, with no gaps. The waistband should rest just under the belly button, and tabs should sit neatly at the hips—not overlapping or drooping.

Don’t Tuck the Cuffs

After putting the diaper on, always run your fingers around the leg openings to make sure the inner cuffs are flared outward—not tucked in. These cuffs are designed to catch and channel moisture away.

Choose the Right Size

Sizing matters more than you think. If your baby is at the top end of a size’s weight range or experiencing frequent leaks, it may be time to size up. A bigger size offers more coverage and absorption space.

Stay on Top of Changes

A full diaper is a risky one. Blowouts often happen when a diaper is overloaded. Keep an eye on wetness indicators, and try changing before naps, after meals, and especially overnight.

 

The Bottom Line: Leaks Are Preventable

Leaks are common, but they’re not a given. With smart design, quality materials, and a proper fit, you can dramatically reduce blowouts—and increase everyone’s comfort.

At Parasol, we’ve obsessed over every detail to create a diaper that doesn’t just look beautiful, but works beautifully too. From our RashShield® skin-first approach to our absorption innovation, our job is to help you parent with more ease, and fewer outfit changes.
