Abstract: One aspect of the present invention reveals a multi-layered storage container that changes color in response to acid gases. The storage container is comprised of at least one layer of a plastic and at least one layer of a gas-barrier polymer. Furthermore, the multi-layered storage container is provided with a color-changing indicator to show the presence of acidic gases. The other aspect of the present invention reveals a diaper which, as the result of chemical and/or electrical processes, can indicate when the diaper is wet.
