The sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15CCyaNn2xSb5ZpZsHSML7ZEDx-Ebp1UUSdnxJUleBA8/edit#gid=0
The contents: somewhat standardized absorbencies, weights, sizes, textures and pictures (scaled down because google to 1/3 size - sorry bout that). Less repeatable
The takeaway (keeping in mind this is for my body type, use pattern, etc):
There's no one clear winner for real-world absorbancy. There is a highest absorbancy diaper - but 5 others that differ by less than a held-till-near-bursting wetting (~400mL, which is about double the average error rate I had when repeat testing a single brand-size). An additional 14 rank within two.
If you wanna have a bad time, drink 1L+ of liquid an hour for 6+ hours. (1.2L/h over a day made me physically sick, and people start dying at the 1.8L/hour rate).
Going slightly under-size can stop standing-up/sitting leaks, going slightly-over can stop lying-on-side leaks. ymmv.
If you're moderately active, a diaper'll absorb about 50mL of sweat a day.
