Hey Everyone,
Happy Friday!
Last night we ran an absorbency test of our own for our Medium Bellissimo diapers. Before we share the results, we would like everyone to understand the following:
1.
Humans don't pee water, running any test with water will not give you accurate readings of the performance of the diaper. Water added to SAP will make diapers or any other incontinent product swell 1200 times compared to 60 times in urine/synthetic urine.
2. At Bambino Diapers, we pride ourselves on our diaper core technology. We engineer our diapers to hold a large amount of liquid with the core staying in one piece, not falling apart like others.
3. A human bladder does not release 100ml every 30 seconds. A fully distended bladder can hold between 250-300ml of urine.
4. In Fruitkitty's method of testing, pouring water down the front side of the diaper and sitting every 30 seconds, that means the diaper could not be fitted properly to the body each and every time, causing leaks. Also, there is no incontinent product in the world that is designed to have 100ml injected every 30 seconds for up to 10 minutes!
5. Absorbency in a diaper means nothing if a core falls apart and the diaper becomes too heavy for the user!
Side Note - Fruitkitty, we LOVED your in depth review with all the pictures! We would love to talk to you about your reviews and observations.
Now to our testing - We took the time to test our Medium Bellissimo diaper last night. We placed the diaper flat on a table and poured in 500ml of water (we used water for an apples to apples comparison) every 3 minutes. Just to let everyone know, the proper way to test for absorbency is ISO 11948-1 Absorbency Capacity testing!
We poured in a total of 4000ml of water with even more room for the diaper to absorb! We then took the diaper and put an 8 pound water jug on it to show there were no leaks. We then placed a piece of paper towel in between the diaper and the jug to see how wet the paper towel would be. There was minimal wetness retained on the paper towel. That means the Bellissimo core sucked in and retained the liquid. The goal is to keep the skin dry and comfortable!
Please see the attached pictures of our testing.
We hope this answers some questions and clears up any confusion.
Thank you all for reading and have a great weekend!
Best,
Bambino Diapers
