Byron's Science Project

Byron is a home schooled kindergartner with two younger siblings in diapers. For a science project, he and his mom did some research that can benefit all of us!

They tested the absorbency of several types of diapers, by measuring the amount of liquid it would hold (in half ounce increments) before leaking.

Their results are listed below. Thanks, Byron!

When I get a chance, I'll try to measure other types of diapers and add them to the list. Or if anyone else wants to do more experimenting, send me your results, and I'll add them with your picture.

(Please note: Byron is in no way affiliated with The Stork Wearhouse, other than allowing me to publish his data.)
