Disposable Diapers / Pampers for baby comparison

 Once give birth to baby JR, my online shopping suddenly addicted to disposable diapers. I will give my review based on my experience. I bought my own diapers without sponsoring by anyone. 

Btw, previously I do not know baby poo only when wake up. It is so cute to see the expressiong of baby pooing hehe. 


1. PetPet NB / S size 

- The first diaper I bought for baby before she was borned as Shopee (Mum Club) has mother bag promotion which I only pay for the postage to get PetPet NB20. 

- After that, I purchase PetPet NB60 for RM23.90 from Shopee PetPet Official Store. 

- Actually the price can be cheaper Shopee PetPet Official Store, currently I success to bought S56 at RM18.9. 

- Price range: RM0.34 - RM0.40 per piece

- I use PetPet during my confinement during day time. At some time, my baby actually likes to wear it to sleep. The absorption is quite good. So far no leakage but sometimes when I change diaper I find out her bottom is quite wet. 


2. Mamypoko Organic NB / S size 

- The second diaper I bought for baby before she was borned. 

- I bought this because it has organic cotton as the lining of diapers! So far the cheapest organic S size diapers I saw. I quite obsessed with organic as I think it is good for baby.

- Price range: RM0.56 - RM0.76

- Nevertheless, baby poo leak out during the first night she sleep on our bed. I think it is because I didnt wear it properly. After that, I am quite careful to wear her diaper at night. 

- But I still prefer to wear her Huggies Natural Soft to sleep at night as this mamypoko seem cannot tahan so many liquid. Mamypoko is quite nipis compare to Huggeis Natural Soft and PetPet. 


3. Huggies Natural Soft NB / S size

- The first diaper baby used at Lam Wah Ee Hospital, the place she get born. I find this diaper has very good absorption, can really tahan 12 hours. I personally like this diaper very much. Plus it absorb the watery poo so baby bottom not wet. 

- Price range: RM0.46 - RM0.56 per piece

- I purchase my first and second pack of Huggies Natural Soft NB78 and S70 from online store at RM36.25 and RM33.90. Now I saw someone is selling S70 at RM31.99. 


4. Merries NB size

- I don't have pricing for this as this was given by my cousin. It is quite nipis, and I find out that my baby bottom is wet after she pee for a long time. Maybe this is just not suitable for me. 


5. Genki S size 

- I bought Genki S87 due to online promotion, about RM0.29 per piece.

- Price: RM0.29 - RM0.33 per piece

- Pernah one time terbocor when I hold baby in the upright position ON SOFA!! 

- After that, I don't dare to hold baby on sofa when I heard she pooing. 

- But actually this diapers can hold the poo very well if baby is at the lying position. It cannot absorb the watery poo like Huggies Natural Soft but it can hold the poo and pee until I change diapers for baby. 


6. Applecrumby S24 S size / M42 M size 

- I don't really have experience with this S size diapers. 

- But their M size M42 is really cheap when there is sales at Shopee. I had bought 20 packs of Applecrumby at approximately RM21/pack to keep. Means this is like RM0.5 per pieces. So I can switch my organic range from Mamypoko to Applecrumby when my baby using M size. 

- Personally if you are an organic stuff addict like me, use Mamypoko NB and S and Applecrumby M for economic purpose. =) 


6. Huggies Platinum S84 S size 

- Not really keen on this but so far dont have bocor issue. 

- Price range: around RM0.50 per piece online 


6. Drypers Touch S44 S size 

- Selling at RM0.50 per pieces, I expect the quality is good. However, it bocor everytime baby lying down. Even worse than Genki. So I am not keen on this 


7. Drypers Skinature S56 S size

- Soft diapers, dont have experience in using yet. However it is quite expensive. 

- Price range: around RM0.72 per piece online


8. Miezuu S34 S size

- Introduced by my sister. Organic range, but more expensive than Huggies Natural Soft. 

- I used once at night and I am quite satisfied with the result. 

- Price range: RM0.65 - RM 0.85 per piece


Overall, the diapers I purchase the most is Huggies Natural Soft. I like it so much! 

Anyway, these are all my experience as a mum.

Medical Cards for Senior Citizens

 My parents has medical card and I am a government servant so I am quite relieve about my parents access to medical facilities. However, I am worry about my MIL as she is 63 now, means her next birthday will be 64. Most of the standalone medical card offer entry age up to 65 years old only. MIL is currently working now and she is covered by her company insurance. However, I am scare she stopped work one day and cannot purchase any medical card. 

So I went online and search the medical card which the premium can still be affordable within our budget: 

1) Tokio Marine Medic Plus (deductible RM10k)

For RM100k annual limit, the annual premium is RM606. 
Outpatient kidney is RM40k per year
No lifetime-limit

However, I am quite unsure it cover the take-home drug or not.

2) PRUSenior Med (Co-insurance 20%)

No mention of annual limit, but for lifetime limit is RM225k, the annual premium is RM3266.


3) Pacific Medi Major Plus (deductible RM10k) 

Annual limit RM200k, Life-time limit RM600k 
Outpatient kidney is RM60k per year
Annual premium RM1315


4) Zurich Z-MedProtect (deductible RM10k) 

Annual limit RM100k
Annual Premium RM3000++


5) Etiqa E-medical Pass Takaful (deductible RM5k) 

Annual limit RM80, no lifetime limit 
Annual Premium RM2689 


6) RHB MediSure Supreme Insurance (deductible RM10k)

Annual limit RM100k, lifetime limit RM1000k
Annual Premium RM1029
Medicines/Drugs are payable


7) Takaful myClick MediCare (deductible RM3k) 

Annual limit RM75k, no lifetime limit 
Annual limit RM2310


Based on my research, it seem that Tokio Marine Medic Plus has the cheapest premium. Maybe I will go for this. Consult husband first.

Review Insurance for Myself

 My mum bought me an insurance in 2004, till now she still do not want to absolutely assigned the insurance to me because scare I surrender the insurance. She only did conditional assignment to me 2 years ago. T.T

My HLA insurance in 2004 is as below: 

RM200 premium / month 

Life RM100k
CI RM50k
R&B (150 days) RM100 <---- I think not enough
ICU (75 days) Full Reimbursement
Lodger (150 days) Full Reimbursement
Outpatient Cancer RM30k
Outpatient Kidney RM30k
Annual Limit RM50k
Lifetime Limit RM150k
Co-insurance RM300 or 10%, whichever higher
Medical insurance lapse at 70 years old. T.T
Optional Top-up per month RM50

My insurance cost now is as below: 
Policy RM5
Life RM7.38 
CI Rider RM5.42
MEDGLOBAL II 100 RM41.65 <-- I personally think this is overcharged

Seriously, I can even buy AXA e-Medic with RM1000 deductible at RM20k coverage per year without lifetime limit at RM34.99.

Because she refused to surrender the HLA 2004 insurance, that time I do not have other choice but to choose a deductible plan to cover me. 

That time only HLA offers deductible RM20k before 60 years old, then RM0 deductible after 60 years old:

My HLA insurance in 2017 is as below: 

RM150 premium / month

Life RM100k
CI RM100k
R&B (150 days) RM200
ICU (75 days) Full Reimbursement
Lodger (150 days) Full Reimbursement
Emergency Accident (30 days) Full Reimbursement
Overall Annual Limit RM1,120,000
No Lifetime Limit
LadyShield Rider RM50k
PA Rider RM50k

My insurance cost now is as below: 

Policy RM5
Life RM8.23
CI Care RM9.42
LadyShield RM8.58
HLA MediShield II 200 (Pre 20k - Post 0) RM17.10
Million Extra RM3.92
PA Rider RM3.25

So the medical card cost for this insurance is actuall RM17.10 + RM3.92 = RM21.02

If combine both of my insurance: 

RM350/month I will get: 

Life RM200k 
CI RM200k
Medical Card paying RM62.67/month for now (RM752 annually) 

-------------------------------------------------------------
Great Eastern is doing promotion now, buying SmartMedic Million coverage can have additional 2 million coverage at no extra cost. 

My GE agent also quoted me as below 

RM250 premium / month

Life / TPD / 45 CI: RM150k
Medical Card: 1 million + 2 million 
Deductible RM300

Cost of Insurance of SmartMedic Million is RM776 (annual) for my age now, which I think it is worth the upgrade. 

Now when can I successfully persuade my mum to give up the old insurance

--------------------------

I also go through HLA Medishield III Rider, however the Cost of Insurance is RM870 (annual, R&B 200, no deductible) which is more expensive than GE one. However, it can be customize by deductibles. 

---------------------

Prudential Medical Rider PruMed is around RM705 (annual,  R&B 200, deductible RM300)

Insurance for Infants

I missed the date to apply for preborn as I am pregnant over Week 35 now. So I am looking and searching for insurance for my newborn.

 

My husband has company insurance which covers RM35,000 (Overall per disability limit for Family Package) so I guess I can find for a medical insurance which has deductible to reduce my premium.

 

Prudential agent quoted me:

Monthly premium: RM90

Life sum assured: RM50,000

Accident death: RM20,000

Accident reimbursement: RM3,000

Essential Child Plus: RM50,000

Lifetime limit: RM1,000,000

Deductible: RM20,000

 

 

Allianz agent quoted me:

130/mth

Life 5k

Med 150

Annual limit 850k

Lifetime unlimited

Deductible 10k

CI (late stage) 100k

Waiver

 

Looks like Prudential is give a better value.


However, I think 

The problem that makes me hard to choose is the Critical Illness.


Prudential Critical Illness

Essential Child Plus from Prudential covers

20%

(1) severe asthma,

(2) severe epilepsy, or

(3) glomerulonephritis with nephrotic syndrome

100%

(4) Leukeamia,

(5) Insulin Dependent Diabetes Melitus,

(6) Rheumatic Fever with Valvular impairment

(7) Kawasaki disease with heart complications

(8) Severe juvenile Rheumatiod Arthritis

(9) Intellectual impairment due to illness or accident

(10) Severe Haemophilia A and Hemophilia B 

 

Allianz Critical Illness

 I wish to purchase Child Guard from Allianz, but my agent say that insurance only for pre-born. 

I think Allianz quote me for CI is HealthCover Plus which has additional 7 covers for juvenile but the catch is that it has Juvenile Lien. 


So based on the Critical Illness analysis, I think I would just go for Prudential one as Juvenile Lien makes me feel weird. 

So in conclusion, I would pick Prudential Insurance for my new born

Me: (Open the bag and take out the travel money belt) Ya it is.
Staff: Are you chinese?
Me: Ya.
Staff: This must be make in your country. (see the label) Ya, it is made in China.
Me: Sorry I am a Malaysian (with a little bit annoyed)

Moral of the story: Don't pre-judge people from the where they came from.

Coursework to finish in Christmas Break

At first I am so excited to complete my homework during the break because I have extra time compare to others who celebrate Christmas.

Now I am not.

Completing the courseworks is so boring and so stressful.

Why boring?
- You only stay in your small room and face laptop everytime

Why stressful?
- See everyone going to travel and shopping but I just couldn't! :/

I already spent 2 days producing unproductive result, hopefully tomorrow can produce some fruitful outcome.

Leave Malaysia? LOL

Sometimes I just dont understand why people want to to leave Malaysia because they did not get scholarship from the government. Is not written in your birth certificate that you will be guarantee a scholarship when you birth. Do you know that the government of other country do not even give scholarship as generous as our government to their citizen? 

And so what you get a scholarship? You will then say Malaysia working system is lousy, corruption everywhere la bla bla bla and dont plan to return. Why not brilliant student like you go to do something for Malaysia?
