I believe the active constituent in nappy liners is the same
material as used in the horticulture industry - known as water
crystals. The substance can absorb up to 500 times its weight of
water and forms a gel like substance when fully absorbed.
You should be able to purchase the stuff at any plant nursery.
refer to http://www.watercrystals.com/ for info.
A big benefit of using water crystals, or nappy liners, is that
even if your plastic bag has a hole, it still won't leak. I used
the nappy liner option for many years, before having an installed
peetube. Works well.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Pee Bag Absorbent
From previous threads on this important topic it would appear that
one of the most widely used and low cost Pee Bag options is a large
(270 mm x 330 mm) Zip Lock bag with a nappy liner inside.
But the limitation in this system is the capacity of the nappy liner.
Some commercial products talk about having absorbent crystals to
instantly turn liquids into an odorless gel.
Does anyone know what this absorbent might be?
I have looked at the crystals used in some commercial cat tray
formulations but the crystals are much bigger and really have a
different role.
I suppose that the fallback position would be to crush some of
these up to a smaller particle size.
Anyone with any other absorbent that will instantly turn liquids
into an odorless gel?
