Measuring objective hand values in the disposable diapers by the different test methods

Properties of 5 different commercial disposable diapers commenly used to the market are investigated in both dry and wet condition. These disposable diapers are evaluated as subjective and objective. How subjective evaluation values can be determined by laboratory tests was examined. Different test methods are used in the objective measurements, and these objective measurement values are compared by those former studies. In the laboratory, friction, compression, heat transfer, liquid absorption, thickness and weight measurement are made in both dry and ve wet condition. It is seen that the disposable diapers evaluated as good hand in both dry and wet condition have small rewet, LC, SMD, MMD, K, Q values, and large liquid absorption capasity and weight values. In the subjective evaluation, it is seen that people are effected from the surface properties in the dry samples, from the compression properties in wet samples. It is seen that people perceive espesially properties of wet samples.
