    • Grandma's house was actually my mom's house. When she sold it my mom decided to buy it. And grandma lived with us until she got alzheimers and needed more care. Probably because mome thought I'd steal all of Grandma's diapers. And working full time she probably couldn't care for two people in diapers again. I kind of which she hadn't bought the house though. It was originally a pre-1900's, 2-story tall barn. It was converted into a house when the surrounding apple tree farm land was sold for developing. The original house was too old and dilapidated socit was demolished for one more land sell off for another new house. That was sometime around the 1940's or 50's. Due to boomers returning from WW2 and needing more housing.  But the literall barn I was raised in wasn't exactly built to any kind of code. Nothing was insulated and everything was crooked. I do remember how Grandma always boasted about how Grandpa was able to add indoor oil based heating, and even indoor plumbing when it was converted it to a house. She'd always say it was the first house to get an indoor latrine in our area and you didn't have to brave to cold or dark to go to the toilet at night either. My dad and I spent a decade removing the old lath and plaster for drywall, knob and tube wiring for romex, cast iron water and sewer piping for pvc, the Edison fuse box for breakers, rattling single pane windows for properly framed double pane windows, you name it. That house was a disaster. And it was only years later I realized I was dad's free child labor.
    • This is still better than what people had in anchient roman BCE times. They unearthed a communal toilet not too long ago, and I was able to go down and see it on a tour. They did have a running water flush that was loosely similar to this video. But they also used a comunal sponge on a stick for getting "clean". So all sets were red.
    • Great start, can't wait to read more!
    • Seconded on the thanks for pic from @DailyDi. It's odd they didn't want to provide any real info on the diaper though. I guess the design must still be in major flux right now.
    • Actually, heat setting PU absolutely is a major way to Laminate it to fabric (even fabric with babyish prints on it). As is using a solven to chemically melt the PU without heat. Or the PU can be applied as a solid sheet then re-melted into the fabric.  Either way, it's applied to the fabric while it's in a liquid state. And when it cools or cures, it's permanently laminated and becomes PUL. This is why you shouldn't use a dryer on high heat with them. Theat will slowly separate the PU from the laminate, as well as cause the PU to break down. But low or medium heat is just fine as they can withstand that much without issue.   Here are a couple of refences for how PUL is made: https://commercialtoolry.com/materials/polyurethane-laminate-fabric https://texsuppliers.com/pul-fabric-polyurethane-laminate-fabric
