| Narrator | Like I said, you'll never know | 0:01 |
| who you'll run into in a supermarket. | 0:03 | |
| Like Mrs. Glenn Campbell and her baby. | 0:05 | |
| - | Come on, Kane, hand mommy the Pampers. | 0:07 |
| Pampers weren't around yet | 0:10 | |
| when Kelli and Travis were babies, | 0:11 | |
| and disposable diapers weren't anything much to talk about. | 0:13 | |
| Then one day, after Kane came along, | 0:17 | |
| I asked Glenn to pick some up. | 0:18 | |
| Like the typical husband, | 0:20 | |
| he brought home another kind: Pampers. | 0:22 | |
| When I tried them and saw how much drier they kept Kane, | 0:25 | |
| no more cloth diapers for this little guy. | 0:28 | |
| (Kane babbles) | 0:31 | |
| Have you ever took a close look at Pampers? | 0:33 | |
| Well, I'm curious. | 0:35 | |
| I like to take things apart and see how they work. | 0:37 | |
| Let me show you what I found out when I cut open a Pampers. | 0:39 | |
| Now, don't you pull the pleats out like I'm doing. | 0:43 | |
| They help keep moisture inside where it belongs. | 0:46 | |
| But look, see this part inside, next to your baby? | 0:51 | |
| This part is called a stay-dry lining. | 0:54 | |
| When you wet it, the moisture passes right through, | 0:56 | |
| and there's all this absorbent stuff underneath | 0:59 | |
| to soak it all up. | 1:02 | |
| Now, that's really soaked. | 1:03 | |
| But the lining, the part that's next to Kane, stays drier, | 1:05 | |
| so he stays drier, | 1:09 | |
| and on the outside it's waterproof, | 1:11 | |
| so nothing can get out that way. | 1:13 | |
| So of course you don't need plastic pants. | 1:15 | |
| Quite a difference from cloth diapers, isn't it? | 1:18 | |
| Try it for yourself. | 1:20 | |
| Tear up a Pamper. | 1:22 | |
| Kane, oh no. | 1:23 | |
| I didn't mean the whole box full, darling. | 1:25 | |
| (Kane babbles) | 1:28 |
