The company called Pee-Ka-Poo refers to their innovative brand new kind of diaper technology as the first 3rd generation diaper technology (where basic cloths are considered 1st generation diapers and SAP based diapers are considered 2nd generation). They claim that their Pee-Ka-Poo diapers absorb more than 3x faster than SAP technology in leading brands. They also claim that their padding doesn't clump at all as the material in the diaper stays in place while the absorption process happens and the absorption is distributed evenly across the whole diaper. They also claim that it keeps the skin of the wearer drier and more comfortable making for more pleasant diaper wearing experiences. The diapers are reportedly thinner to manufacture and uniformly shaped throughout the duration of use between changes. In addition to all of these benefits, the technology makes retention of the liquid significantly more effective than 1st or 2nd generation diapers.
This new 3rd generation absorption and diaper padding design/technique/technology was created specifically for diapers recently and was successfully introduced to the market in the diaper brand from Singapore called "Pee-Ka-Poo" with their diapers receiving very favorable reviews from people who use them. Various material designs and manufacturing techniques were found by two dads who had knowledge on how to develop such a technology and they helped adapt what they knew about manufacturing and modern textiles to create and launch the diaper brand by making a 3rd generation diaper (apparently the first of its kind) from scratch after visiting various factories and putting a lot of thought and effort into designing a brand new kind of diaper. From information that I read about Pee-Ka-Poo's 3rd generation diapers, it sounded like this technology might be in use in western markets too as the website mentioned that Pee-Ka-Poo was the only brand in the eastern part of the world that uses it. I don't know of any diaper manufacturer in the west that uses the technology though (unless someone like Kimberly-Clark is using it to develop the first 3rd generation diaper since they are a brand headquartered in the western part of the world--or unless there is a small western brand using it currently that hasn't marketed itself well or something--maybe machines used to make the diapers is hard to manufacture or it will take a while for them to scale their manufacturing fast enough for the demand so they are trying not to market their products loudly yet).
The reason why I mention Kimberly-Clark specifically (and not another western-headquartered brand such as P&G) is because Kimberly-Clark recently announced that their Huggies line of diapers are about to receive "exciting performance upgrades" this year (2023). One of my first thoughts after I heard Kimbley-Clark announce that was that maybe they will use Pee-Ka-Poo's 3rd generation diaper technology! (But not to get too excited here since I don't really know if that will happen or not or if Pee-Ka-Poo is exaggerating the performance capabilities of their diapers.)
The way I even found out about this new technology was really not very likely. I wasn't even looking for it. I just happened to be exposed to it on Google Images at one point when I searched for something diaper related. I saw an image that had the text Pee-Ka-Poo in it and thought that was a clever pun so I clicked on it in case I might be able to find out more about the pun's creator but after learning it was a diaper brand I started reading about it since I'd never heard of it before and a little while after that, I realized that I just happened to find possibly one of the most significant advances in diaper tech ever (if not the single most significant one ever). I didn't even know that Pee-Ka-Poo was a brand name when I clicked on the image.
I've been surprised that I found no other thread on this site talking about Pee-Ka-Poo or 3rd generation diaper tech yet so I thought I would post this here at some point if no one else did--so here you go! (Yay! Now I have people to celebrate with! But again let's not get too excited until we are sure this will take off and really be a thing.) Kimberly-Clark or someone might have paid people off to keep them quiet about this technology to surprise the market with the new technology if it gets released on a wide-level in the future and replaces most 2nd generation diapers to become the standard/expected design internationally for diapers sold in mainstream supermarkets.
One of my concerns is that I don't know if the chemicals involved in the new technology pose significant dangers vs 1st and 2nd generation diapers (in any part of the diaper cycle: manufacturing, wearing and/or disposal). I suppose that the whole thing could just be a joke since I haven't heard anything new about this tech in the past few years (although COVID may have delayed major companies from announcing new products like this). Pee-Ka-Poo's website still looks official and hasn't been taken down yet--press releases and news articles for the diaper are also available online--see the links I included at the end of this post). We will see if this potential breakthrough diaper tech is used successfully or not the future for both baby and adults alike. (I think it is probably more likely than not!)
Here's the full story around the creation of the diapers from Pee-Ka-Poo themselves--from here: https://peekapoo.com/our-story/
'Two fun-loving daddies in Singapore who face a tricky situation. Their wives have been constantly complaining of diaper leakages and sleepless nights! The prolonged complaints were taking a toll on the two daddies. Hence, during their business trips, the daddies started buying back diapers from countless supermarkets all over the world, from USA to China to Japan….just to see if there is any better solution out there.
They realized that in those more advanced countries, there are actually a wide range of diapers that are available. But there are just too many brands and technical details to look into. So they gave up searching for the perfect diaper. But after many more tiring and sleepless nights, countless washings of comforters and Pssst… They even had to spend quite a bit of effort and money to clean their expensive mattresses, these two daddies finally decided… “We’ve gotta do something about this situation!”
Then a light bulb moment came. One of them said “Why not let US create the SUPER DIAPER!” That was when business trips became Diaper Research trips. For months, they visited several diaper companies, trade shows and factories… trying to piece together a SUPER DIAPER FORMULA.
Finally they were able to create an extraordinary diaper. What did they do next? They spent tens of thousands of their own money to manufacture the diaper to the specification that they wanted. It’s like the diaper for SUPERHEROS! When the diapers arrived, their kids love them so much they even create a play word around it. These daddies also started giving out diapers to their friends and received very positive feedback.
When their friends ask them where to purchase those diapers, they were surprised that these two daddies were the creators of the diapers they have fallen in love with. It sounded a bit farfetched but that was what these two daddies did. Subsequently, they realised that the market had a need for really high quality premium diapers at an affordable price. That was when they decided to use the play word created by their kids for their new diaper brand, Pee-Ka-Poo!'

"After one year of extensive research and development, we are proud to say that we have successfully created Asia’s first 3rd Generation Super Diaper! Its key feature is our PERMASORP CORE! It is thinner, more absorbent, more breathable and more comfortable. And most importantly, it doesn’t contain any bacteria breeding wood pulp.
Here's the 6 Distinctive Advantages of Pee-Ka-Poo Diapers
( 1 ) Fast Absorption Speed : - Pee-Ka-Poo diapers absorbs much quicker than leading brands, ensuring dryness, therefore no diaper rashes.
( 2 ) Wetness lock : - Pee-Ka-Poo diapers lock in wetness way better than other leading brands.
( 3 ) Super dry : - Urine on the skin breeds bacteria that cause odours and diaper rash, That's why Pee-Ka-Poo helps to prevent diaper rash.
( 4 ) No Leakage : - Pee-Ka-Poo’s Permasorp Core doesn’t split despite movement even from the most active toddlers, therefore preventing leakage.
( 5 ) No Breakage
( 6 ) Super Thin and Soft : - Pee-Ka-Poo diapers are so soft and comfortable and they are also thinner than most leading diaper brands, yet more absorbent."
Here's something else that's interesting which indicates that some smaller adults might fit these--from here: https://peekapoo.com/faq/
"Pee-Ka-Poo diapers come with an extended waistline, so you’ll need to wear it higher and this problem should be resolved."
