Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9410958A1] A capacity monitor for diapers (10) and the like, including super absorbent material disposed in or adjacent to an absorbent core (16) is disclosed. The monitor (20) comprises an indicator (24) and a baffle (22) to prevent direct contact between the absorbent core and the indicator. The indicator (24) is preferably a ribbon of hot melt adhesive with a wetness indicator which changes color when exposed to liquid. The baffle (22) is a substantially water impervious sheet positioned between the absorbent core (16) and the indicator (24) so as to prevent direct contact between them. The diaper (10) and the monitor (20) are constructed so that there is a threshold level of liquid which, when deposited in the diaper, will effect a color change in the indicator (24). A quantity of liquid which is below the threshold will not effect a color change in the indicator (24) and a quantity of liquid which is above the threshold will effect a color change in the indicator (24).
