I am infinitely grateful to that Victor Mills, the
American chemical engineer of the Procter&Gamblecompany who patented
pampers. Especially, when I listen to stories of our mothers about how their
children (that is we) wrote on carpets and sofas on a visit as they washed
diapers for newborns and used gauze diapers. And about walks on the street in
frosty days I in general am silent. We do not even think of what is useful
piece children's diapers and as strongly it facilitates to us life. I decided
to study history of diapers.
Pampers it only in informal conversation
"pampers". It will be more correct than them will call disposable
diapers. Let's understand value of this term. The diaper is the type of
underwear intended for urine absorption. And you knew that not only children,
but also astronauts, assemblers and climbers use diapers?
There are also special pampers for people with various
diseases, for example, for bed patients. Such people are simply not able to
descend in a toilet whether it bequietly, whether it be more. Here where the
assembler descends? It is interesting that only in the Russian-speaking
countries diapers for children are called pampers. Because this brand came the
first to the market of the CIS and practically forced out fabric diapers for
newborns. In other countries diapers are called the word a diaper: in Germany
it is Windel, in America – diaper.
Dimensional grid
If you ever bought pampers, then know that the sizes
of pampers depend on body weight. There is an approximate dimensional grid to
which practically all producers - haggis adhere of Mooney, the Japanese merries
diapers.
SSS (super
super small) – 0-3 kg;
NB (new born) –
2-5 kg;
Mini (Or S
small) – 3-7;
Midi (M medium)
– 7-10
Maxi (L) 9-18;
Junior (Big) – 15-25;
Junior Extra
(XL) – 16-35;
2XL – 19 kg and more.
I want to focus your attention that a grid
approximate. It changes depending on the producer and mission of diapers.
History of pampers: when also who thought up pampers?
People tried and try to do the life comfortable. It
concerns also mummies from ancient times. How you think what were the first
diapers? Now I will tell you. It were pieces of a skin into inside whom inserts
from Mocha, wool or flax were inserted such to themselves. They perfectly
absorbed moisture.
Something like modern pampers appeared at the
beginning of the 19th century. It were knitted pants with filling from soft
wool. In general they a little in what differed from ancient. And only at the
end of the XX century Victor Mills, the engineer of the Procter and Gamble
company, guessed to replace wool with superabsorbent.
And now attention – the first disposable diaper
appeared in 1956. And as a filler served wood sawdust. Ridiculously, isn't that
so? Every year "Pampers" became more and more popular. Still!
Somewhere in the seventies game is entered by Huggies firm. At that time the producer
of diapers was better known as Kimberly Clark, the manufacturing company of
paper.
To us their began to deliver in the ninetieth. Were the first as you
already understand, diapers of the
Pampers brand, then "Huggies", and then "Libero" and the
others. At present there are 27 brands of diapers. And since the beginning 2000
many companies work on the invention of reusable. Let's look what from this
will leave.
