So what’s the deal with gel in diapers? I had no clue. Shows my lack of experience with changing kids.

The hydrogel most commonly used in diapers is sodium polyacrylate. It's added to the core of disposable diapers to soak up urine and keep moisture away from a baby's skin, helping to prevent diaper rash. If you cut open a dry diaper, you'll find lots of small beads mixed in with a fluffy pulp. These beads can hold up to 30 times their weight in urine.
