Hi, I know for some of us, the holy grail of a disposable diaper is cute prints. Then there are those who are more interested in a disposable's capacity. After all, the more it will absorb, the less the likelihood of leaks. And the longer you can wear the thing without needing a change from too much wetting. We know it's the super-absorbent polymer (SAP) that soaks up the pee and locks it into a gel. Probably why Pampers can seeming absorb huge amounts for their sizes. SAP is a relatively standard product can be purchased online. It's not that expensive depending on where you buy it. Amazon even has it, although there are other businesses that sell the stuff in various crystal sizes and quantities. You want the really fine crystals. Some people use them to make the cloth "cool bandanas" you hold under the faucet and then put around your neck to stay cool in the summer. You can also pull the plastic backing away from the stay-dry layer at the top of a disposable diaper exposing the fluff and SAP that is in there. What about putting a couple more teaspoons of SAP in the front to boost absorbency? Assuming it's the same product already in the disposable, it should be safe for the skin. Then just fold the top part of the plastic backing over and your capacity just went up. Having said that, someone will probably get carried away and put so much SAP in their diaper that it will be able to hold a gallon or more and it will look like they have a basketball in the front of their jeans when it hits capacity.
