The problem with the current commonly used SAPs
The current commonly used SAPs (Super Absorbent Polymers) are petroleum based polymers that can absorb and retain extremely large amounts of liquid;
up to 50 times their weight in saline/urine and over 500 times their weight in distilled water.
The common SAP is non-biodegradable, which makes it a global ecological disaster. Diapers, which make up to 6% of solid residential waste, take over 100 years to decompose in landfills.
The common SAP is also non-bio-compatible. It typically contains more than 400 PPM free monomers that are hazardous when in direct contact with the skin, which means it is banned for usage for various direct-skin-contact hygienic applications.
