What is in a diaper to absorb urine?

Diapers contain absorbent materials, primarily superabsorbent polymers (SAPs), which can absorb and retain large amounts of liquid, turning it into a gel-like substance. This helps to keep moisture away from the baby's skin, preventing irritation and discomfort. Additionally, fluff pulp, made from wood fibers, is often used to enhance absorbency and distribute the liquid throughout the diaper. Together, these materials ensure effective moisture management in diapers.
