Its the Super-Absorbant Polymer in disposable diapers that makes them hold more than cloth.
The polymer can absorb many times its weight in liquid and traps the liquid in its structure.
Once the liquid is absorbed by the polymer, it can not be pressed out, resulting in a diaper that has less leakage under pressure.

What do people prefer more cloth diapers or disposable?
People prefer disposable diapers over cloth diapers. Although cloth diapers are preferred for the environment, disposable diapers are more convenient.

Which are more expensive cloth diapers or disposable diapers?
Cloth diapers are more expensive but in the long run disposable diapers will usually cost more to you.Cloth diapers you only probably need to buy about 15 in a life time, but they are a pain to clean and change, and they leak more often than a disposable diaper. Also they can sometimes run your water bill really high depending on how you clean them, and a cloth diaper takes longer to change and must be changed quickly or the diaper will leak and smell. Disposable diapers can also leak sometimes but are less likely to. You can buy them in bulk for a cheap price too. They are easier to change and depending on the brand can hold in more waste for longer( like over night disposable diapers unlike cloth diapers because if your baby goes potty while sleeping, you are pretty much guaranteed a leak). I would recommend you buy disposable.
Are cloth diapers really cheaper than disposable diapers?
Although the initial cost of a cloth diaper versus a disposable diaper equates to the cloth diaper costing significantly more on a per diaper basis; in the long run cloth diapers would save you money. The cost savings associated with cloth diapers is a result of there ability to be reused over and over again by properly caring for and washing the diapers regularly where disposables are single use and must be thrown away after. Cloth diapers are also better for the environment as they are more biodegradable than disposables and don't use plastics in manufacturing.
Are diapers bad?
The good old fashion cloth diapers are much better for a baby's little behind and cause less rashes. Cloth diapers can be boiled in an old big pot and then rinsed well or, if one does not feel they have that much time then they can be done in the washing machine with baby soap that is gentle and no softeners put into the rinse cycle or into the dryer. More and more parents are beginning to realize that the new disposable diapers can cause rashes in cases where baby's urine is very acidic. Little air gets into disposable diapers and also they do not environmentally breakdown in land fills. If you decide to use cloth diapers then you could take the odd disposable diaper when you take the baby out visiting.
Cloth Diapers is good for the environment?
Yes. Cloth diapers are much better for the environment than disposable. A family using disposable diapers on one child contributes 4-12 diapers per day to the landfill. These diapers are made of synthetic materials which do not decompose and may be harmful to the soil and water. Also, disposable diapers are made of sythetic materials and chemicals that require much more energy and waste to produce. Cloth diapers are made almost entirely out of organic materials, since they (cotton, bamboo, hemp, wool, etc) absorb much better than synthetic cloths. Most families use the same 30 or so diapers for the entire time their child is in diapers, and often use the same diapers for future children. After use as diapers most can be recycled or reused as cleaning rags. Thus, cloth diapers contribute little if anything to landfills. Yes, cloth diapers need to be cleaned and therefore require more water use, the amount of water is actually quite minimal and most treatment plants can clean the organic waste from the water quite easily.
What was the major breakthrough in the development of the disposable diapers?
The major breakthrough in the development of disposable diapers was the introduction of superabsorbent polymers (SAP) in the 1960s, which allowed for significant absorption of moisture while keeping the surface dry. This innovation, combined with the use of a plastic outer layer to prevent leaks, made disposable diapers more effective and convenient compared to cloth diapers. The first widely available disposable diaper, Pampers, was launched by Procter & Gamble in 1961, revolutionizing infant care and parenting practices.
Why are there different types of diapers?
For different circumstances and needs of course. If you are referring to cloth diapers and disposable diapers then here is the answer. Cloth diapers, the first diapers invented and have been around for almost as long as humans have. They are arguably more comfortable and better for a baby's skin but require a lot of laundry work, are bulky, stiff and make it harder for the baby to move and may be uncomfortable when wet since they don't absorb as quickly as disposable. Generally they are more suited for and work when at home but not when out and about. Disposable diapers, a more modern innovation are thinner, more discreet, more flexible and less inhibiting on the movement of a baby and absorb more quickly than cloth but are arguably less comfortable and more likely to cause a rash than cloth. If you're talking about taped baby diapers, pull-on baby diapers, training pants, older children diapers and adult diapers well taped baby diapers are more suitable for less active babies, pull-on baby diapers are more suitable for very active babies who love to move around a lot, training pants are much thinner and much more underwear-like to help toddlers transition to underwear when toilet training, older children diapers are for kids who have a bedwetting problem or other toiletry issues and adult diapers are for elderly people and those with incontinence.

When were cloth diapers not used anymore?
Cloth diapers are still used by many people, and are especially popular outside of the United States. They have become much more popular in the US in recent years due to tecnology advances that have created better materials and the popularity of the environmental ('green') movement as well as easier distribution via the internet. The first disposable diapers became available in the 1950s but were much too expensive for the average family to afford. However by the late 1980's, disposable diapers had become the norm.
