A disposable absorbent product which includes a chemically reactive means having an end point adapted to provide a visual indication of the presence of a substance in mammalian bodily excrement, wherein the chemically reactive means is adapted to: (A) to provide the visual indication as a result of interacting with the mammalian bodily excrement; (B) the end point of the chemically reactive means is adapted to be reached within a period of time which begins with the first insult of the chemically reactive means by the substance and ends when the disposable absorbent product is discarded; and (C) the chemically reactive means is adapted to have a stable end-point, such that the visual indication remains valid within a period of time which begins when the end point is reached and ends no sooner than when the disposable absorbent product is discarded. If desired, the chemically reactive means can be adapted to provide a visual indication of the approximate concentration of the substance. The disposable absorbent product is utilized in the same manner as a product which lacks the chemically reactive means but which otherwise is functionally similar to the disposable absorbent product. Typical disposable absorbent products include tissues, wipes, and such wearable disposable absorbent products as diapers, feminine care products, incontinent care products, surgical gowns and drapes, and the like.
