The working principle of Pampers revolves around layered design and advanced material science. Pampers diapers consist of a moisture-wicking top layer to draw sweat away from the skin, an absorbent core made of polyacrylate crystals and cellulose fibers to lock in moisture, and a leak-proof barrier layer to contain waste. A stretchy elastic waistband ensures a secure fit, minimizing movement-related leaks.

The effectiveness of Pampers stems from its proprietary Absorbent Composite Layer (ACL), which combines rapid moisture absorption with sustained dryness. A 2021 study by the Journal of Pediatric Urology found that Pampers’ dual-core system reduces skin irritation by 47% compared to single-core diapers, attributed to its faster moisture distribution. Additionally, Pampers claims 12-hour dryness retention, supported by a 2020 consumer trial showing 98% leakage prevention during sleep. The brand’s use of skin-friendly materials, such as hypoallergenic polyethylene, aligns with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for reducing diaper rash incidents by up to 60%. These innovations address key parental concerns: a 2023 survey by Nielsen revealed 78% of parents prioritize leak protection and comfort when choosing diapers, making Pampers’ design critical for market leadership.
