Diapers In Space

[freswith]

Here is a video showing what happens when you wring out a washcloth in weightlessness.

Great video.

what would happen to a diaper?

well acording to nasa a diaper works better in 0 grav then it does on earth

[Dubious]

since it's weightless, the diaper will do its job better than with gravity..

Correct... at least with disposable diapers. SAP is a wonderful thing... no gravity assist needed.

yah a diaper that has a 0 grac effect for what ever is in it now that would be cool

ok they cant only wet in those, how would they go about cleaning a messy diaper

[Benjamin]

By hiring a Space Nanny of course.

How the hell I did miss this topic? From what I know of this, the diapers are used during launch, re-entry, and spacewalks. I suppose you could drop a deuce in them though it is strongly discouraged. The Unique Wellness brand is supposed to use the same materials as the diapers NASA uses, but I would rather try the actual diaper itself.

Mabe we need to write nasa and see if we can buy some from them

[Darkfinn]

Modern "top of the line" adult disposables (Abena, Dry, Wellness, etc.) are made with technology originally developed for astronauts. Hell, that is one of Wellness' biggest advertising points.

I am thinking any diaper using S.A.P. (Super Absorbent Polymer) can claim the fame of using "NASA Technology" these days, and with that about 95% do to some extreme. Only a few brands I know of claim not to use it for their highly wicking versions containing only the "old school" cellulosic fibers that we had in the eighties or so time period. So my thought is NASA did use S.A.P. In their M.A.G. garment at some point, then Kimberly Clark is noted as one of the first to use it commercially in some of their product line.

So taking that in to account, some body is sure to go out and get some distilled water ( I ain't got none laying around) and see what your diaper can do with it. Giving that the equation is possible to ten times that of Urine, should be a fun experiment. Would like to see what a Fabine or Bellissimo could look like when this happens
