Can you explain how these will be used and what their visibility would be?duhuhu said:Hey guys! For a project that I am doing this summer, I need to have something that has a lot of absorbancy (much like a diaper) but it can't be a diaper because the project will be filmed and distributed about my university and I don't want it to be coated in diapers. Do you guys have any ideas on what I could use? I was thinking something along the lines of puppy pads but I have no idea how absorbent they are.
It is a good idea, but I need it to be super absorbent.Vanadium 50 said:Paper towels?
That is also a good idea, I will have to look into the volume of water they can absorb...phion said:Surgical pads?
They will be lining a box that the project and camera is in. The box will experience both high and zero G loads so we expect the water to possibly go everywhere. The camera will be a fisheye camera so it will see everything. The project itself is mostly a bunch of tubes and pumps, so the walls will be pretty clearly visibleEvo said:Can you explain how these will be used and what their visibility would be?
I would suggest maybe the pads that have that dry gel that absorbs and holds so much moisture, it also wicks the moisture away from the top of the pad, could you cut the pads to disguise them? But I don't know if cutting the pads would compromise their water holding ability. I use puppy pads for when my dog won't go outside, he has an insane fear of the sound of rain and cannot go outside when it rains, so he has papers in the hall bathroom which has a tile floor, they work great. I can pick them up and nothing runs off.duhuhu said:They will be lining a box that the project and camera is in.

So basically they just have a lot of surface area to capture the water and hold it in there rather than absorb it like a diaper?Evo said:I can pick them up and nothing runs off.
Yes, oh, no. Haartz is the brand I use. "Won't spread, won't leak" Flash dry technology. Instantly turns urine into gel.duhuhu said:So basically they just have a lot of surface area to capture the water and hold it in there rather than absorb it like a diaper?
