Contribution to the Improvement of Certain Comfort Characteristics of Baby Diapers

Baby diapers are products that offer optimal hygiene. In fact, at an age when baby cannot communicate yet, unforeseen events can happen. This means that there can be an emergency at any time, which is why they must use disposable diapers. Nowadays, these diapers have become a real concentrate of technology both in the choice of their components and in their implementation in the product in order to optimize their own functions and their combinations between them. Today, the industry has become highly competitive, and all manufacturers are trying to produce products that will satisfy their customers and they do this by providing attractive comfort qualities. In this context, and in order to contribute to the improvement of certain comfort characteristics of disposable baby diapers, we carried out a comparative study called benchmark between four of the most used brands in the Tunisian market, in order to determine the best composition. In this study, the analysis of baby diaper characteristics is divided into composition, fabrication and comfort characteristics. Diaper composition, mass, thickness, total absorption capacity, PLUTO absorption capacity, fluid runoff quantification and measurement of diaper rewets are all characteristics to be measured or identified. The results indicated that the most suitable diaper has a total absorption capacity of 1774.34% in saline solution, a balance of components (33.04% SAP/34.34% pulp/32.59 NAM), an absorbent core structure (homogeneous) containing 50% pulp and 50% SAP, a total mass of 38.32 g and average rewet, Pluto, runoff values.
