Disposable diapers contain chemicals and are discarded after use, hence, companies are also researching on using materials that minimize the use of chemicals and make disposable diapers safe to use for babies. Companies are also focusing on using superabsorbent polymers, to minimize the use of bulkier material and make diapers thinner and light in weight.
