Unicharm has developed a new baby diaper with a thinner absorbent pad. The pad measures only about 1.8 mm compared to 4 mm in standard sized diapers. The new pad, which improves wearer comfort and also lessens pack sizes, is expected to be launched in a pants type diaper in March, according to Nonwovens Industry Far East correspondent Kin Ohmura.
