Diaper check

The action of checking a baby's diaper(s) for wetness, soiling, or proper fit. Feeling the diapers for any wetness or soiling, or by doing a smell check.
After coming inside from doing some gardening, I washed my hands, and went into the baby's room to do a diaper check on the toddler.

I did a diaper check on the babies by gently pulling back the front of their rubbber pants.

My favourite method in which to do a diaper check is by inserting my index finger inside the elastic leg opening of a baby's rubber pants.

The baby's diaper rash was confined to the elasticized openings of the rubber pants.

cloth diapers

Cloth diapers are diapers that can be laundered and used over and over again, multiple times. Fashioned out of soft absorbent material such as flannel, birdseye cotton, or gauze, cloth diapers are most commonly fastened with safety pins and worn with protective waterproof panties over top. Traditional old-fashioned cloth diapers are rectangle or square in shape, sheet styled in appearance, and require folding in order to be used on a baby or child. Standard traditional cloth diapers are white in colour.

Diapers

(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.
