In the early years, the brand underwent several redesigns, tests and manufacturing developments. Pampers reached a major milestone in , when its first patent was granted in the United States. Five years later, it became the first nationally sold brand in the United States. Over the next 10 years, Pampers expanded distribution around the world, entering Europe, Asia and Latin America.
Through the decades, Pampers has consistently rolled out diaper innovations that have improved everyday life:. Most recent improvements to Pampers, Swaddlers and Cruisers have resulted in our softest and thinnest diapers ever, which use an incredible 40 percent less material and 80 percent less bulk than our s diapers, with both comfort and environmental benefits.
For example, we know that being a parent is equally challenging and rewarding. Procter and Gamble replaced the pin-on design with tapes in Toddler and Premature Infant sizes were also introduced. In Pampers introduced an elasticized wingfold diaper with elastic leg gathers and refastenable tapes which was a cross between the early s design and the modern hourglass shape, a feature that was first introduced on Luvs in and evolved into an industry standard in In , thin diapers made with absorbent gelling material were released.
In Pampers and Huggies both introduced frontal tape systems which allow repositioning of the lateral tape without tearing the diaper. In the s Pampers introduced a thinner diaper known as Ultra Dry Thins. The early s also saw the introduction of gender-specific diapers in the Pampers brand; the product returned to unisex diapers towards the end of the decade.
Pampers did not sell training pants again until the introduction of Easy Up. It was promoted in an advertising campaign featuring pediatrician and child development expert Dr. Berry Brazelton, who said to let the child decide when the time is right to potty train. The size 6 diapers were billed for growing toddlers. Huggies also introduced a size 6 diaper at this time. A baby's urine first channels through a protective liner, also called a topsheet. Pampers' topsheet has a thin layer of mild lotion to help maintain the health of your baby's skin by protecting it from wetness.
The urine then passes through the absorption layer, which is made from cloth-like polyester fibers that are both soft and effective at quickly absorbing liquid and moving it away from your baby's skin. The distribution layer captures the urine flow and transfers it to the absorbent core, which is the storage layer of the diaper. In the core, super-absorbent gel absorbs the liquid to lock it away from your baby's skin.
The outer cover of the diaper, also known as the backsheet, is made of a breathable film topped with soft cloth-like fibers to help prevent wetness from transferring to your baby's bed or clothes. Did you know? Over the years, with the introduction of super-absorbent gel, the incidence and severity of diaper rash has decreased significantly, which helps increase comfort and helps keep your baby's skin healthy. Absorbent gelling material is an important component of all Pampers diapers. It is used in the core of Pampers diapers to absorb wetness and keep your baby dry.
Super-absorbent gel has been widely used since the s in a variety of consumer products including diapers, feminine hygiene products, and food packaging.
Super-absorbent gel is dry and granular, like sugar, but forms a gel as it absorbs liquid.
