How Disposable Diapers Take Part

Disposable diapers have the ability to keep the diapered area of the baby’s skin dry due to its high absorbency. Diapers contain several layers that allow liquid absorption without rewetting the skin. Its goal is for super absorbent polymer (SAP) to absorb the liquid gradually. SAP looks like transparent crystals when dry, and later will swell into a gel-like substance after absorbing liquid. Its non-water solubility makes SAP durable and can prevent rewetting the skin when babies are actively moving and sleeping. Naturally, this promotes quality sleep for babies as it keeps them from waking up during the night.
