Crinkles; Wet or Dry

[DrunknFox]

From your experience, are diaper crinkles louder when you're wet or dry?

Probably dry and when first putting on my diaper or plastic pants.

Dry.

As the padding wicks up moisture, the shell is stretched tauter, which gets rid of tiny folds in the plastic that slide around as you move. Also, the SAP goes from a rigid crystal form to gel the more it absorbs. Some of the "crinkle" in a dry diaper is actually caused by minute grains of SAP grinding together.

Picture massaging a beanbag or sock filled with sand in your hand. Similar phenomenon.

Yeah, I'd say dry too.

Crinkle is definately louder when a diaper is dry.

[Walesiswet]

I'd also say louder when dry, lille classics are mega crinkly when dry.

Attends are the loudest diaper I have ever worn.
