Abstract/Description

Following the patent of the disposable diaper in the late 1940s, the popularity of the disposable diaper drastically increased. Various companies, including Johnson & Johnson and Proctor & Gamble, continuously compete with each other to create the “best” disposable diaper product. This project compares 12 of the most popular brands of disposable diapers to determine the efficiency of each diaper and what changes could be made to increase efficiency, when applicable.
