The Pampers Pee Conspiracy

I'm convinced now that Pampers newborn diapers are tinted yellow so you can't tell whether your tot has actually peed or not. So instead of feeling the actual diaper for wetness, it's easier just to pop on a new one, replacing a potentially clean one. 

If they actually *weren't* tinting their diaper yellowish on purpose, then they're just being stupid. But I don't trust large companies to be un-savvy. Conspiracy, I tell you.  

Update: Now I think the better way of testing the presence of pee is not by looking for color, but feeling the heaviness of the diaper and with a little sniff. This may only pertain to infants a week or so or older, as newborns don't really pee all that much and their pee don't stink.
