Product Summary & Specification

• Pampers have a layered construction, which allows the transfer and distribution of liquid away from the baby to an absorbent core, where the liquid is locked away to help keep your baby comfortable and dry

How Diapers Work

• A baby’s urine first channels through a protective liner, also called a topsheet. Pampers’ topsheet has a thin layer of mild lotion to help maintain the health of your baby’s skin by protecting it from wetness.
• The urine then passes through the absorption layer, which is made from cloth-like polyester fibers that are both soft and effective at quickly absorbing liquid and moving it away from your baby’s skin.
• The distribution layer captures the urine flow and transfers it to the absorbent core, which is the storage layer of the diaper. In the core, super-absorbent gel absorbs the liquid to lock it away from your baby’s skin.
• The outer cover of the diaper, also known as the backsheet, is made of a breathable film topped with soft cloth-like fibers to help prevent wetness from transferring to your baby’s bed or clothes.

Super-absorbent Gel

• Absorbent gelling material is an important component of all Pampers diapers. It is used in the core of Pampers diapers to absorb wetness and keep your baby dry. Super-absorbent gel has been widely used since the 1980s in a variety of consumer products including diapers, feminine hygiene products, and food packaging.
• Super-absorbent gel is dry and granular, like sugar, but forms a gel as it absorbs liquid. In fact, it can retain up to 30 times its weight in liquid, locking it away to help prevent wetness from coming back to the surface of the diaper and help keep babies drier.
