(1)- Diapers are those ever so wonderful little things that have been around
forever, and that are used on the bottoms of babies. They are the "catch all" apparel of any babies wardrobe or layette. Diapers, usually white in colour, rectangular in shape, and fashioned out of either a washable, or disposable type of material or fabric, are brought up between a baby's legs and fastened at the sides (near a baby's hips), with either
safety pins (diaper pins), or sticky tabs, depending on which type of diapers one is using. Usually fairly bulky by design, diapers remain to be the most
popular and simplistic method used today to contain the waste of babies under the age of 3 years.
(2)- Diaper design, a design which incorporates a geometric pattern, (diamond pattern), that can be found on much older English styled brick manor houses
dating back as far as the 1400's. Diaper design, a pattern used in the assembly of
hand stitching, quilting, and doily
work. Diaper design is most often refered to as "diaper pattern", or "diaper
work".
"Pampers" and "Huggies", just to mention a couple of
popular names behind the manufacturing of babies disposable diapers. 100%
cotton cloth diapers manufactured out of flannelette, birdseye, gauze, or
terry towelling. "Snugabye" brand flannelette baby diapers.
