A revolutionary breakthrough in parenting came in the late 1950's when disposable diapers came to be and virtually substituted cloth diapers. This innovation ceased the notion of wasting hours soaking, washing, drying and folding cloth diapers. Parents rejoiced at the breakthrough for that convenience they offer. We owe it all to Pampers for giving us this convenient product.
Pampers diapers, a product made by Procter & Gamble, were developed by a P&G engineer. The story is told the notion came while babysitting his grandchild in 1956. He thought at that time, like any good engineer does, that "there must be a better way of doing this." He went back to his p&G group to check out the idea of a disposable diaper that would be absorbent, which prevented leaks while simultaneously keeping babies dry. The result was the development of the disposable nappy in 1961 called Pampers.
It's interesting to notice that, at first, supermarkets along with other retailers did not really know where you can stock Pampers. In those early years, you could find them in various spots including the food aisle, paper products, as well as the drug section. Also interesting was the truth that parents treated them at first as a novelty. It was considered something to use for special occasions, traveling, or to make diapering simpler for any babysitter. Regardless of its slow start, it pretty much destroyed the cloth diaper industry by the late 1960's.
By now, they had become the leader within the baby product industry and also have maintained that role ever since. The main reason for its initial and subsequent success has been due to its technological advances. From the onset construction from the three-piece design, towards the a number of other advances in production, Pampers has obtained many patents through the years that have propelled them as innovators.
These innovations include tape fasteners, the first thin diaper with a core containing an absorbent gel, elastic leg gathers, refastening tabs, the development of curly fiber which pulled moisture to the core from the product after which recoiled to absorb more fluid, and also the first lotion top sheet.
It's not hard to notice by scanning the grocery store aisle, or shopping online, that Pampers isn't alone. But they still remain number one and also the premier choice by parents because of their constant innovation and commitment to quality.
