Baby diapers

Disposable

Modern disposable baby diapers and incontinence products have a layered construction that allows urine to transfer to and be distributed within an absorbent core, where it is locked in. Basic layers are an outer shell of breathable polyethylene film or a nonwoven and film composite which prevents wetness and soil transfer, an inner absorbent layer of a mixture of air-laid paper and superabsorbent polymers for wetness, and a layer nearest the skin of nonwoven material with a distribution layer directly beneath which will transfer wetness to the absorbent layer. Some popular brands of disposable baby diapers feature layers of colorful film that decorate the diapers with cute, kid-friendly designs, such as animals or characters from movies and TV shows, while other brands are plain white.
