    Summary

    Disposable diapers (A and B) showed no significant difference in skin hydration compared to cotton diapers. These findings support the advantages of disposable diapers for infant skin care.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Material Science

    Background:

    • Diaper rash is a common concern for infants.
    • Understanding the impact of diaper materials on skin hydration is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the effects of different diaper types on skin hydration.
    • To evaluate the performance of disposable diapers (A; Pampers and B) against conventional cotton diapers.

    Main Methods:

    • Adult forearm skin was exposed to 2x2 cm diaper samples containing saline for 5 hours.
    • Corneal water content was measured using an impedance meter after diaper removal.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences in corneal water content were found between disposable diapers (A and B) and cotton diapers.
    • Both disposable diaper types demonstrated comparable skin hydration levels to cotton diapers.

    Conclusions:

    • Disposable diapers, including Pampers (A) and conventional disposable diapers (B), do not negatively impact skin hydration compared to cotton diapers.
    • The study confirms the suitability and advantages of disposable diapers for infant use.
