Pampers has finally made walang palit overnight possible with the new Pampers Overnight Pants

In an ideal world, parents would blissfully prepare baby’s bedtime routine as they happily put baby to sleep. Off to dreamland they go where baby settles down all comfy and protected and both getting their share of a full night of uninterrupted sleep. 

But the reality is – dreamland may just be a dream. Every parent goes through the challenges of overnight diaper changes. It’s not fully having that peace of mind to rest knowing that in the middle of the night, you need to carefully change diapers in the dark, so baby won’t wake up and get babad in a pool of wetness.

If you feel like the search for the best diaper brand for overnight use might seem like an endless quest, Power Parents have just revealed the hack that makes baby’s sleeping time such an ease, it’s a dream coming true.

New Power Parent Hack: “Finally, No Changes Overnight”

Pampers, with its promise of long-lasting protection from babad, has finally made walang palit overnight possible with the new Pampers Overnight Pants. Now you can go beyond just imagining what it is like to have a full night of uninterrupted sleep with only one Pampers diaper that can last for the entire night. That's zero changes all night long - truly #NoPalitSleepSulit is possible.

This new power parent hack has been receiving raving reviews online with parents confessing how they have finally achieved no changes overnight.

These moms have finally experienced what it’s like to sleep without worries.

While for power parents who have yet to try the new Pampers Overnight Pants, you might have a few questions about overnight babad that can lead to diaper rash, but no need to worry because Pampers have long mastered this solution. 

Pampers long-lasting protection has once again upped its game with its improved absorption capacity for overnight wear, thanks to its anti-babad and leak-lock features. This helps with no babad, no bulk, and no leaks. 

Surprised yet? Wait ‘til you hear more. The Pampers Overnight Pants comes in thin diapers that are specially designed for utmost care and comfort for baby’s skin. Every Power Parent has been wowed by how a thin diaper can have that powerful overnight absorption capacity – and it’s all because of Pampers superior quality. Plus, it comes in Pants flexi-fit that’s comfortable even for larger babies.

If you’re still on the hunt for that best diaper brand that puts baby into dreamland every night, go for the diaper brand who cares most about your baby’s full-night sleep. 

Pampers Overnight Pants Supports Your Baby’s Full-Night Sleep

Pampers puts high value on every baby’s development. Because sleep is an important building block for your baby’s mental and physical development, Overnight Pants is here to help power parents boost the development of baby especially during infancy phase.

Research has shown that sleep affects baby’s mood and behavior and can have direct effect on happiness. This is why babies who don’t get adequate sleep become either too cranky or hyperactive.

Babies who are also well-rested from a full night’s sleep have the ability to learn and develop cognitive behavior better. This means their alertness, attention, and memory are sharper. 

Just like how other power parents have been experiencing the breeze and ease of having #NoPalitSleepSulit possible, it’s about time that this becomes part of your nighttime story too.

Safeguard partners with Grab Philippines to ensure that driver partners are also part of the #SafeWash movement

Starting the new year with safety as a priority, Safeguard continues with its efforts in aiding Filipinos with proper hand hygiene education. The brand acknowledges the importance of the delivery economy and safety in mobilization most especially at this time. In line with its consistent efforts for a SAFE Philippines, there couldn’t be a better time to have this fun and informative alliance with Safeguard partnering up with Grab Philippines to ensure that driver partners are also part of the #SafeWash movement.

Hugas Safeguard for SAFE Deliveries 

Safeguard and Grab’s partnership brought timely entertainment to partner drivers while imparting proper safe handwashing education through the #SafeWash movement. The mechanics for the online contest were featured during a Ka-Grab Kamustahan Facebook livestream.

Grab drivers sent in video entries of their dubbed version of the “Hugas Na rin ‘Yan” rap by Fred D’ Germ ft. Gloc 9.

 

Grab drivers showcased their talent in dubbing with immense confidence. Betting on the prize for a merrier and a safer holiday, some were embodying their own version of Gloc-9, others involved their partners to add more interaction into their creative dub video. With its addictive melody, Grab drivers participated and posted their dubbed videos on Safeguard’s Facebook page.

Safeguard has also donated hand sanitizers, liquid hand soaps, and body wash placed at Ka-Grab Pit Stops to ensure that Filipinos who are transported through Grab’s service and their driver partners are equally protected.

Commitment for the #SafeWash Movement  

The “puwede na” mentality in handwashing has proven to be an alarming threat to Filipinos especially during this pandemic. Safeguard took the matter into their own hands and produced the #SafeWash Movement wherein they relayed proper handwashing education through pop culture themes that would cater to Filipinos of all ages.

The mass education music video with more than 20 million views combined in different social media platforms, starring Fred D’ Germ — an online ‘influenzah’, was produced by five of the top Philippine animation houses with the rap song voiced by Gloc-9. You can watch the video here.

After the success of the #SafeWash campaign, Safeguard partnered with Manila Water Foundation (MWF) to construct handwashing facilities all over Metro Manila to bring ease of access to handwashing facilities. 

What started as a battle cry against hand hygiene misinformation, Safeguard now continues to strengthen proper handwashing education for Filipinos through the #SafeWash Movement, for a SAFE Philippines.

LG InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerators are one of the most in-demand refrigerators in the market today

Its new year and its time for appliances upgrade. If you have the money to splurge why not? I would consider an LG InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerators for that aesthetic look upgraded features and design innovations.

LG InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerators are one of the most in-demand refrigerators in the market today. LG InstaView illuminates the refrigerator’s interior with just two quick knocks on the transparent glass while Door-in-Door reduces interior cold air loss by providing a convenient space to keep frequently accessed items handy. Loved by consumers around the world for its ability to enhance user convenience, LG InstaView Door-in-Door, while already great, promises to be even better this coming year. 

At next month’s first virtual CES, LG Electronics (LG) will unveil the new and improved InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerators that boast upgraded features and design innovations for improved user convenience. The sleek refrigerator sports a larger glass panel for its InstaView Door-in-Door system while UVnano technology is featured in the built-in water dispenser for enhanced hygiene while InstaView voice recognition takes hands-free convenience to a whole new level in the kitchen. With a more immersive tinted glass panel in the 2021 refrigerator, the new design complements the Seamless InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerator’s flat stainless steel design and elegant aesthetic. And because the InstaView window is 23 percent larger than previous models, seeing what’s inside is easier than ever.

LG’s new InstaView refrigerators now incorporate LG’s UVnano technology which harnesses the power of light to effortlessly and effectively maintain a hygienic and germ-free water dispenser tap. First introduced in 2017 on the company’s most premium water dispenser products, UVnano operates once every hour to remove up to 99.99 percent of bacteria on the refrigerator’s dispenser tap. For additional peace of mind, users can also activate the UVnano feature with the press of a button.

A CES 2021 Innovation Awards Best of Innovation winner, the LG InstaView refrigerator with voice recognition makes time spent in the kitchen more productive and more convenient. No longer will shoppers have to struggle to open the refrigerator door with arms full of groceries when they can simply say “Open the refrigerator door” by voice. LG’s interactive voice technology also makes it possible to ask the refrigerator for today’s agenda or check the status of the ice and water dispensers. 

Every new InstaView product in the lineup incorporate LG’s proven freshness-enhancing systems, LINEARCooling and DoorCooling+. LINEARCooling minimizes temperature fluctuations, the main cause of food spoilage. Simultaneously, DoorCooling+ cools the entire refrigerator compartment evenly by distributing powerful airflow from a strategically positioned vent.

Debuting in InstaView French-Door refrigerators last year, LG Craft Ice is now coming to Side-by-Side InstaView refrigerators in 2021. The two-inch, slow melting ice balls generated by the LG Craft Ice system makes drinks look great while keeping them cool longer. 

“The popularity of LG appliances during this tumultuous time came as quite a surprise to us, but it’s a challenge that we’ll gladly face head-on” said Inkwun Heo, LG Philippines’ Managing Director. “We have leveraged the increase in consumer interest and pushed the boundaries of appliance innovation to deliver exciting products in 2021.”

The 2021 LG InstaView refrigerator lineup will be on display in LG’s virtual exhibition booth during CES 2021 starting January 11.

FWD Insurance is excited to announce the launch of a digital ecosystem that rewards everyone for doing good by way of sharing financial life skills and helping bridge the protection gap in the country.

 

The groundbreaking  is a first in the market. Everyone can be an affiliate by simply downloading the mobile app and completing the registration process for free. 

Through the app, our financial advisors can spread financial knowledge and awareness in a trust-based environment to help others upskill their financial management and start futureproofing with investments and life insurance. At a time when Filipinos are stretching their budgets, now they can get expert financial self-help, and even be an ambassador helping others increase their financial IQ by sharing inspiring posts with rewards.

According to FWD Insurance President and CEO Li Hao Zhuang, the Affiliate Program is a win-win platform for everyone involved. The app offers shareable financial knowledge, tools and solutions while also creating employment, with an aim to start a virtuous cycle that directly empowers people and impacts enhances protection inclusion.

 

Li Hao said: “We want to reduce the digital divide and address the protection gap in the country. Through FWD’s Affiliate app, we democratize financial education and protection and make it rewarding for everyone. It allows our customers to be rewarded for doing good, and we believe that is especially valuable in this time of need.”
