It is now possible to make your own cloth disposable diapers from material such as wood pulp fluff, cellulose wadding, fluff cellulose, or cotton fibers as the absorbent material which somehow are not very expensive and are easily accessible. Diapers from these materials too have got their disadvantages including being bulky, low moisture absorptions. Consider those factors if you wish to use these materials

Start by shaping the Absorbent in a movable conveyer belt that passes through a long forming chamber and while on the chamber pressurized nozzles spray will spray the polymer particles or fibrous material onto the conveyor facade. During this process a vacuum is applied from below to enable the fiber form a flat pad. Once you have the absorbent pad, the top sheet, and the backing sheet one has to joined the material after which they are cut into diapers shape. With this you will have a quality diaper ready to be used after joining the three materials into the conveyer.
