Kinds
The range of modern brands includes a variety of products for the bath. Consider the most popular options.
On suckers
Such models are equipped with suction cups for reliable retention of the pillow on the surface. The accessory is quickly and conveniently fixed in the required place and does not move during water procedures. At the same time on each suction cup there is a rope, with the help of which the product is detached without damage.
Inflatable
Such pillows inflate like a swimming circle. It should be borne in mind that the product can not be pumped to the end, the pillow should not be too elastic.
It is recommended to inflate its percent at 80-85, otherwise the neck will be hard and uncomfortable.
Bagel
These pillows are similar to models that are used during long trips in transport. They are not attached to the bath, but simply put on the neck.
Original
Usually it is an inflatable pillow, equipped with suction cups. The most popular forms of such accessories are “shell”, “pillow-lip” and others.
Multifunctional
In such products can be built in massager or player (or all at once). The cost of such models is much higher.
Baby
Such accessories are suitable for children of different ages, starting from infancy. One unsuccessful bathing can permanently discourage the child from taking water procedures. Therefore, in order to create comfortable conditions for the baby, parents often use special devices.
Pillows for bathing babies are made of special materials.They are equipped with removable pillow cases with a water-repellent effect, which are easy to clean and dry quickly.The main purpose of the pillow is to support the head of the child.
Manufacturers offer two options: a pillow-collar and a product for the whole body.
The first model is more affordable. A cotton pillow case with a zipper is put on the basis of expanded polystyrene. The material is pleasant to the touch, does not cause allergies and unpleasant tactile sensations. However, there are also disadvantages. The collar does not hold the child well in the water, and a very active and mobile baby can even “move out” from the pillow. Also, the product itself dries for a long time due to the foam used. You can not call it durable.
Body pillow has a completely different principle of use. With the help of suction cups, it is attached to the bottom of the bath. Then the child fits into it. Due to the shape of the product, the baby’s head remains above the water. Accessories are made of polypropylene with a filler of synthetic fibers that resemble cotton. Top models are covered with natural materials. The disadvantages are the high cost and the possibility of displacement of the baby’s body in the conditions of moving water.
Use and care
There are several rules, adhering to which, you can extend the life of the water accessory.
- Before using the product must be ventilated in a room protected from sunlight. It should also be washed with soap and running water.
- Pillows should be used only as directed. You should not take them to rest in warm countries and leave them in the sun.
- After water procedures, the pillow is washed and dried thoroughly. This will help avoid mold.
