Some disposable baby diapers have caused chemical burns to some babies and toddlers skin.

However not all disposable diapers cause chemical burns and most disposable diapers are safe for babies and toddlers to wear.

Luvs diapers have been known to cause chemical burns on some toddlers and babies but it's not the diaper fault entirely.

Some babies and toddlers are just more allergic and sensitive to certain chemicals.

The actual chemical used in Luvs diapers that give the diaper the scent is unknown but it has caused some babies and toddlers to get chemical burns.

But a lot more babies and toddlers wear Luvs diapers without any chemical burns because if Luvs caused all babies and toddlers to get chemical burns then they would not be able to be sold and used.

Some other disposable diapers may cause chemical burns because the child is sensitive to those chemicals or allergic to those chemicals.

But overall disposable diapers are safe.

Actually disposable diapers are much more sanitary for babies and toddlers to wear because disposable diapers absorb the urine and hold it away from the skin.

This means the child is not sitting directly in their urine and won't feel wet.
