You mean the polymer. It has to be wet. It looks like white sandy power normally but when it gets wet it expands

@rinaldo3 no worries I know this because I was forever cleaning the damn stuff up when my son started walking as his nappies would constantly split

@rinaldo3 good luck, it’ll be nice to see them when they’re flowering (still not quite sure where nappies come into it though lol ) but I am now very curious

There are tiny absorbent bead thingy ma bobs inside nappies that absorb the urine. Found this out when my darling little one threw a fully soaked nappy once, they went everywhere ‍♀️

@baghdad but wouldn’t it be cheaper to just buy moisture retaining beads for gardening purposes ? I’m sure I’m missing something here ! ‍♀️

You can get some nappies pretty cheap, I don’t know. I use nappies for their original purpose. ‍♀️

For those following this post - you will probably notice a great many of us (women) are experiencing severe ‘lockdown fever’ which makes us ramble on about nappies etc on a gardening site rather than talk to our other halves ! Who’d have thought eh ? Lol ‍♀️‍♀️
