Molfix Diapers celebrates 1 year in Malaysia | Available in over 4,500 stores nationwide!

Hayat Kimya, a global player in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry, is currently the world's 5 largest diaper manufacturer and is committed to continuing to grow its presence in Malaysia through its high-quality diaper brand, Molfix. In case you're unaware, the brand is now available in over 4,500 stores both physically and virtually. But going deeper into the company, we would definily be more familiar with their diaper brand known as Molfix. Molfix brand was first introduced in Malaysia last year in 2021, in tandem with Hayat Kimya's strategic business plans to expand its footprint to Southeast Asia, following its entry into Vietnam and Thailand. Since then, the brand has become the preferred choice of millions of Malaysian parents, offering them peace of mind while providing babies comfort and joy at all times.

Commenting about Molfix's 1st Anniversary in Malaysia, Mr. Alp Bilgili, General Manager of Hayat Hygienic Products Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., said, "The tremendous support and trust from Malaysian parents reflect their preference for products made from natural materials in an effort to ensure safety and to protect their babies' skin. At Hayat, we believe in the importance of understanding the needs and trends of our consumers, hence we place great emphasis on research and development (R&D) to develop innovative products that are organic and of premium quality."

The brand's collaboration with the celebrity couple, Scha Al-Yahya and Awal Ashaari as ambassadors have further helped position Molfix among mums who are constantly looking for the best for their little ones while enjoying the journey of motherhood. Scha Al-Yahya shared, "We are thrilled to be part of this journey to build the Molfix brand among Malaysian parents and to share the experience, uniqueness, and quality of this wonderful product that never fails to bring joy, comfort, and protection to babies. We had the opportunity to experience these and many more when our daughter Lila, who is now one year old and has tried Molfix products. We trust Molfix, and are happy that we decided to partner with a brand that believes in providing the best for mums and babies."

Spreading joy to mums and babies across five continents in over 100 countries around the globe, they have been producing products with utmost care and is designed to be extremely gentle on baby's sensitive skin. Molfix Natural range, with its selective ingredients of natural bamboo fiber and organic cotton, can provide the ultimate softness and skin-friendly touch as proven by dermatologists in Europe.

The range is able to carry a large amount of baby's urine. Interestingly, laboratory test data has shown that its dryness can be achieved for up to 14 hours*. Together with Molfix Extra Dry range, both diaper range provides superior absorbency, thanks to the extra dry layer technology which makes absorption much faster and easier. Hence, giving babies complete protection and keeping their healthy skin comfortably dry. Mums can experience peace of mind knowing their babies are comfortable all day long.

In its effort to create awareness and grow the brand, Molfix engaged with many organizations, and business partners such as hospitals, retail stores, and online affiliates while participating in various consumer-facing activities such as the MITEC Baby Fair 2022, and many more. Within the first year, Molfix bagged the BabyTalk MamaPapa Reader's Choice Award 2022 for the Best Tape and Best Pant Diapers categories.

As part of the celebration, 10 Molfix consumers walked away with exclusive Molfix products, specially autographed by both Scha Al-Yahya and Awal Ashaari. The ambassadors shared their experiences with Molfix brand. Hayat Kimya has a commitment to its growth in Southeast Asia and will be continuing to further strengthen with the establishment of the new regional manufacturing plant in Vietnam, which acts as the ASEAN hub for Molfix products. The plant will cater to the demands of the region including the Malaysian market. This would enable consumers to enjoy premium quality products that are competitively priced, which are produced in the region, and in tandem with their needs and current trends.

Molfix products are currently available at selected supermarkets, and hypermarkets such as AEON Retail, AEON Big, Lotus's, Giant, Billion Shopping Centres, Econsave, TF Value Mart, HeroMarket, Manjaku, and others as well as leading online platforms.

Parenthood Parent's Choice Award 2022 | Brands winning Parents Hearts

Among them are Genting, Betadine, Babyshop, R.E.A.L Kids, and Abbott.

Hello mummies and daddies! It's crazy to think that I've been blogging during my high school days and now talking about parenting! Being a parent myself, rest assured, I would like you to know that we all go through a phase in life where we feel lost, and IT'S OKAY! Parenthood itself is all about the journey and by going through the mistakes, we learn through it. That's what makes parenting so beautiful. Now, talking about going through those phases, I'm pretty sure one of the jugglings as a parent is choosing a reliable brand to trust? Well, lucky enough, I'll be spilling some details on the Parenthood Parents Choice Award 2022 since I got to witness the award ceremony.

To break it down to you a little, Parenthood Magazine recently organized a campaign where parents of Malaysia can vote for their favorite brands to win the best parents' choice award in 2022. And what they did was by identifying and bringing forward the most trusted brands that parents can truly rely on. There were 80 categories in total that were awarded, and I believe that these winners are prestigious and deserving brands to win the awards. 

Now, 80 would be a lot for me to elaborately write down in this post, but I'll try my best to keep it minimal and highlight the topics and brands which I found really exciting to discover during the award ceremony. For the full list of awards, you may head on over to Parenthood's article right here and see how the brands deservingly won the hearts of parents based on category. It's really a lot to look at but I would have to say that it's exciting to discover innovative brands and existing brands that I'm familiar with to win these awards and rest assured, assuring me that my choice of brands is similar to other parents of Malaysia. 

In terms of the winners, I hope my photos here would do all the talking, but really I think what was an eye opener to me was to see health supplements and probiotics within the category. Did you also know that there was a category where there's the best non-toxic makeup & skincare for kids as well? It goes beyond what we think is necessary, but it's good that they also had a category on education as well (Basically prepping myself for my eldest daughter once she's ready for school!). Nonetheless, if you would like to expand your knowledge of brands, I would really recommend you to check out the Parenthood article for the full deets on the winner's list. 

All in all, I would have to say that the award ceremony was very humble, and I did stumble upon some proud brand owners who were claiming their awards during the occasion. I would have to admit that it was such an honor to be there and witness all these really renowned brands winning the heart of parents throughout Malaysia! Every brand carries its own story when it comes to giving the best to kids and parents, but what matters throughout it all to me would be the bond they have made possible among parents of Malaysia. I would agree that all the brands who managed to win the title of being the best of the best definitely deserve the award because I've tried and tested myself and they deliver their promise. Well, I hope you found this post useful and I wish you a happy parenting journey with the little ones! It can be exhausting but with the right products and guidance, it helps to ease out the journey.

Kidzania KL bringing more Experiences to Families with A&W and Subway

Being a kid at heart, how can we not love Kidzania, where everything just comes alive (without being too alive and dangerous, if you know what I'm saying.) Hehe. Anyway, with the year going towards an end, I'm pretty sure most families are looking for recreational activities to do with the kids, especially with the pandemic taking a toll on everyone. With Kidzania's recently opening their doors on 20th October 2021, it's pretty hard to resist the temptation of bringing the kids out to simply have fun! With that being said, let me share with you more reasons to be excited about it. 

Last year, Sim Leisure Group acquired the license to operate the KidZania franchise in Malaysia and has since significantly improved the attractions facilities by adding more interesting activities for the kids. Under the new ownership, one of the major improvements was to fully digitalize the facility's ticketing system for greater efficiency and control. With the latest addition of taking their service up a level, I would say that I'm excited to experience the whole new digitalized flow.

To celebrate and enhance the experience of this improvement, Kidzania has forged a partnership with Inter Mark Resources Sdn Bhd which will feature the inclusion of three industry partners to further enhance visitors' experience, featuring A&W, Subway, and Jamaica Blue Coffee. Being present to witness the collaboration, I would say that I'm excited to even bring my kids here to experience the classic enjoyment of a&w and Subway as the experiences that they will be able to explore in Kidzania. 

While I was there, they only had A&W active and running for the kids (and maybe adults) to enjoy, whereas Subway will be open for vacant (for the kids) in December 2021. With these two new outlets being a new addition to Kidzania, kids and parents can definitely look forward to their next upcoming visit to Kidzania featuring a work and play environment to enjoy. Not to forget, the Adults would be able to enjoy the classic root beer while they're there where parents can confidently pay for A&W in cash.

With the addition of A&W and Subway, children will be able to gain hands-on experience in operating and managing a fast-food outlet. Meanwhile, not to forget the parents, they can enjoy their favorite cuppa and refreshments at the Jamaica Blue Coffee outlet located at the Parents’ Lounge, where they can sit back and relax while their children frolic, play, and learn through the numerous activities and engagements at KidZania. 

True to its ‘Learn Life Today’ philosophy, the “new” KidZania aims to continue advocating hands-on interactive experiences and opportunities for children to learn new skills while celebrating and harnessing their potential by combining inspiration, fun, and learning through realistic role-play. So, what are you waiting for? Start planning with your family and book that long-awaited break at KidZania Kuala Lumpur! To make bookings or to find out more about KidZania KL, visit www.kidzania.com.my today!

[REVIEW] Mamaway Ultra Light Antibacterial Seamless Nursing Bra | Breastfeeding Journey

Reviewing the Mamaway Ultra Light Antibacterial Seamless Nursing Bra

Being a breastfeeding mom for almost a year now, I finally realize why some people find it hard to breastfeed. It takes up so much of your time, energy and it drains you in unimaginable ways. According to experts, it's recommended to breastfeed for a minimum of 2 years to ensure that the baby gets the right amount of nutrients until their own antibodies are strong enough. Since I managed to survive throughout a year, let me share with you some tips on how to make your breastfeeding journey more pleasant. 

Official Mamaway Nursing Bra

Loving the fact that its also designed to be Antibacterial

Honestly, you nay have figure what I'll be sharing with you about today in this post since the title of the post was already a total giveaway. Haha. But yes, I believe that one of the biggest factors in ensuring that you successfully survive your breastfeeding journey would be to invest in a good nursing bra. Are nursing bra's necessary? I would say YES, especially when you're a breastfeeding mom! I've been using the Mamaway Ultra Light Antibacterial Seamless Nursing Bra for about a month now and im regretting that I didn't get it sooner. Here are some reasons why I think this nursing bra is a must-have:

PREVENTS LEAKS

Really soft and comfortable material

I think most breastfeeding moms would relate to this when they are breastfeeding. I would have to say that leaks can be the most annoying thing in the world cause nobody likes to see nor smell like milk when they're out and active. But also, these leaks are one of the most beautiful ways to show that the mother is thinking about the baby, and it works as a great reminder that the baby needs to feed. With the Mamaway nursing bra, instead of having soft removable pads to prevent these leaks, the pads are sewn in the bra which makes it a perfect fit without you needing to worry that the pads would be out of place. That's one worry out of the list if youre an active mom like me. 

MATERIAL

Breathable and expandable according to body changes

I believe that material plays a huge role in providing comfort. So my first impression when I got a hold onto this nursing bra was that its extremely lightweight, soft, and breathable. By breathable, I mean when you get a hold of this nursing bra, you will notice that there are perforated bra cups to help circulate air while keeping you feeling cool. The material is also stretchable making it really comfortable for times when we feel 'engorged' too. Since it's made out of cooling mesh, I would like to emphasize that it absorbs and dries out sweat pretty efficiently too. Gotta love the cool dry comfort when youre carrying a 10kg baby around the house when they are in demand to be carried. 

EASY FEEDING

Easy clip on to for quick feedings

Its also called Nursing Bra's for a reason. Since we need to feed pretty constant, having a bra that can unclip easily pretty much helps with a smooth transaction to feeding. This is a crucial factor to breastfeeding as I find that the easier it is to feed, the fewer complaints a mother would have when we need to breastfeed. With the right nursing bra, I find that breastfeeding can be more enjoyable rather than a burden. 

Usually, nursing bra's are mostly unflattering, but after using multiples types, I noticed that there is a difference when it comes to quality nursing bra's. Other than accommodating the different sizes of the breast during pregnancy and after delivery, good nursing bra's would also consider lift and gather, especially at the sides of the bust. Not many nursing bra's that I know offers this feature, and I must say that it does shape the bust-line nicely.

ANTIBACTERIAL

And I think this feature just sums it all as if youre directly feeding your baby, using antibacterial material is necessary to prevent the baby from being exposed from unwanted bacteria. After all, a happy baby equals a happy mommy. Its suitable for both direct feeding and for pumping moms as bacteria would be one worry out of the list when ensuring that baby gets enough nutrients from breastfeeding. With permanent antimicrobial properties, the material also helps to maintain a natural balance on the skin. 

VERDICT

As a verdict, I would have to say that the Mamaway Ultra Light Antibacterial Seamless Nursing Bra is a great addition to your undergarment collection, while also giving mom's a smooth breastfeeding journey. It usually retails at RM280, but if you head on over to Mamaway's online retail platform, you may notice that this is currently going on sale for only RM179.90! That's RM100 worth of savings! The price may be a little high, but if youre talking about quality, I would say that this is long-lasting and again, I would emphasize that comfort is everything and guaranteed with this bra. Size ranges from S to XXL, and they come in either Purple, Navy, or Orange. Since im a girly girl at heart, I went for the lovely pinkish purple color. Well, I guess, all in all, I would conclude that this bra is a must-have to follow you through your pregnancy to breastfeeding journey. Hope you found this post worthwhile, and do check out their social sites to see other products they have to offer in the links below.

[PARENTING REVIEW] Mamamia Diapers| Soft Magic Tape & Active Dry Pants

Reviewing Mamamia Diapers

Hi everyone! Being a mom, i think there are tons of challenges when it comes to having a good balance of saving money and getting necessities for the baby. Honestly, I think there are 2 things that takes up a lot of money on caring for a baby, one formula milk, two, diapers. Diapers are recommended to be changed every 4 hours to ensure that the baby does not experience rashes, and also to prevent the baby from feeling discomfort or from getting infections. Being very careful to ensure that my baby does not experience any of these uncomfortable situations, im very strict in diaper changing. But the down side of diaper changing is the price of a diaper. Because of this, i found Mamamia diapers being in the affordable category on diapers, so i decided to give their trial packs a go. 

Before i elaborate further on my thoughts on Mamaia Diapers, let me provide you with a little introduction on the brand. Mamamia Diapers are 100% made and from Indonesia that offers Diapers that are certified to be halal. So, to mom's out there, if youre unsure how halal relates to diapers, its actually the process of hygiene when preparing these diapers that follows a certain protocol to ensure that its prepared in accordance to the halal criteria. With that in mind, this also means that hygiene has been taken as a serious matter in manufacturing these diapers. Mamaia currently offers two types of diapers, namely the Mamamia Soft-Magic Tape and the Mamamia Active Dry Pants.

Mamamia Soft-Magic Tape

Mamamia Soft Magic Tape

Very soft and natural with no colouring

Starting off with the Mamamia Soft-Magic Tape, this diaper is in a form of the standard typical diapers that come with side tapes, but instead of the old school kinds, these offer soft magic tape. These soft magic tapes actually offer a softer feel, so that when the baby is wearing the diapers, they won't feel the solid hard tapes but instead can move freely without worry. This type of diaper can be introduced ranging from newborns to toddlers above 13kg making it the most versatile option if you're a mom who loves tape typed diapers.

Faster Absorbing & Chlorine Free + Breathable Layer

Its cute that they had instructions too for first time parents

Easy opening fro diaper access

On the packaging, it also emphasizes that its designed to be faster absorbing and chlorine-free which really caught my attention when purchasing. Using Chlorine-free pulp, this would reduce the odds of baby experiencing any rashes or allergy reactions to ease any parent's mind. I tested the diaper and I must say that it absorbs pretty fast and the diaper feels dry despite it being a wet diaper. Moreover, it also offers a breathable layer so that there is circulation to provide the baby with comfort. Upon giving a feel on the diapers, i would say that it does provide a soft cotton feel which feels very light and comfortable as a diaper. 

Magic Tape that is not sharp so baby would always be comfortable

Cotton touch padding

Snug fit on my 10kg baby.

I tested this out on Mikayla, and i would say that it does the job in keeping my baby dry and comfortable. In terms of lasting, I wouldn't suggest you to wear this over 6 hours as it feels a little heavy once it goes beyond the 6-hour gap from the next diaper change. I wouldn't entirely recommend using this if youre planning to sleep throughout the night without changing your baby's diaper, but it's great for day use with constant diaper changes (minimum of 3 times) to keep your baby feeling fresh throughout the day.

Mamamia Active Dry Pants

Mamamia Active Dry Pants

Each diaper has different pictures to indicate front side

The other variant that Mamamia offers would be the Mamamia Active Dry Pants. This variant would be more suitable for active babies, but i think its unique that they also offer small sizes for the pant type diapers. Not many brand carry smaller sizes for diaper type, but surprisingly if youre looking for quick changes without constantly adjusting the tape to fit the baby, then you can always consider the Mamamia Active Dry Pants. They offer size S up to XXL which can be used for bigger toddlers up to 25kg who has not been potty trained making it a great alternative to diaper wear till they learn how to go to the toilet on their own.

Chlorine Free diapers Guranteed

Designed to always keep baby dry with an ergonomic design

Other features of the diaper

The packaging highlights that it has been designed to be ergonomic and its manufactured to be extra dry with a magic layer. Designed with a new and improved cotton-like layer, its made out of 100% chlorine free pulp which helps to keep your baby feeling comfortable, active and constantly safe from rashes. I think its cute that these diapers has printed cartoons to indicate that its the front side for easy quick identification.

Soft stretch that would not harm baby

Double layering to prevent leakage

Mikayla approves! 

I used this for Mikayla, and personally, i find that its really time saving when changing her diaper cause all you need to do is to pull it up like pants. I really like bringing this type of diaper out for quick changes, and I would really recommend you to change this diaper after every 4-5 hours as if it gets too full, it may not provide the best comfort for your baby. Not advisable for long wear, but its a great diaper to keep your baby feeling fresh while being active. 

Verdict

As a verdict, i would have to say that these diapers are pretty good and really affordable. For the trial pack that i use, offers 20 pieces, are only priced at less than RM15 per pack. I actually like the idea that they offer trial packs as its a great way to travel light while keeping the diapers fresh when youre travelling and on the go. They also offer bigger Jumbo packs that cost less than RM30, so i would have to say that the price range is really one of the cheapest in store if youre looking for savings. Its a decent diaper for daily use, with 4-5 hour gap of diaper changes. If youre looking to try out these diapers for yourself, you can always head on over to their shopee acount which i will add in the link below. I hope you found this post useful and do leave me a comment if you may have any enquiries.
