Disposable diapers can be a mom’s best friend. We can’t live without them, but what are they really made of? How do they work? Gretchen and Paige visit the Pampers facility in Cincinnati, Ohio to take apart a diaper and see what’s inside. Proctor and Gamble Senior Researcher, Joann Hoover shows the mommies several of the tests that Pampers diapers go through, including trapping and de-watering a synthetic BM. Since the average baby uses 7,500 diapers a year, this is good information to have! You can also visit Pampers Village, for all of the Pampers products available, and for help choosing which product is just right for your baby.
