So in my Current

Well it certainly ties into economic solutions. Plastic diapers are quite inefficient and wasteful, not to mention they pile up in dumps. The green solution is cloth.

Well I hope you take that to write about and share it all with us. Love cloth diapers!!!

Wear a t shirt to class.

E bay has one for sale!!

P3erhaps if you write about all your experiences wearing diapers it will add that realizim to your paper and get you the top grade!

[whisko]

lol! "which would *you* use", not which one would tou buy for your baby/household? that is awesome. i'd be tempted to write it all in the first person.

I really do want to write from my point of view but I don't have the guts to do it LOL, to nervous to do such a subject.

[Ryan23A]

Interesting if I was you I would look for something more interesting than diapers due to me wearing them for fun,

[rusty pins]

Heres and idea!

[kootzkoo]

Funny how it says, "Cloth or PLastic which would you use?"

[kootzkoo]

Heres and idea!

[Diapered Jason]

Lol, I would not pick the hardest topic on there.

[jonoz]

Heres and idea!

I like Rusty's idea too. Something to think about.

[DavidMW]

The limit of Rusty's idea is that it wearing it yourself provides an adult user sample of just one - and we know from the threads here how diverse the opinions can be. Thus to increase the scientific validity of your experiment, you should recruit... um, ask for volunteers from your classmates to help test them "for the sake of the environment".

What are the long term consequences to Nuclear War?

[rusty pins]

I love your idea and it just might work.

I'm sure Depends has a test lab, but I wonder if they actually conduct any human sample tests.

Based on the woeful performance of their products compared to premium brands, they seem to care more about cost-cutting measures than filling a real need for quality, mass market incontinence products.

I mean - outside of Bambino, how the hell is it that no other company in the US appears to grasp this? It's clear that there's a market for premium diapers judging by the success of European brands like Tena, Abena, and Molicare. These companies seem to understand that - in some cases - customers DO value performance over discretion. And the quality of their products is evidence that they factor actual human inputs into their product improvements - versus relying solely on a bunch of fluid dynamics data points barfed out by expensive test equipment.

Actually I think the diaper question is a very good one as it doesn't have a clear answer.

[DiaperPony]

PaddedPat, have you tried ATNs? They are plastic backed and crinkly (not so discreet), with good performance (they usually take ~4 hours of abuse). So, there are still some USA brands where performance takes precedence over discretion.
