Diapers are absorbent garments worn by infants and toddlers to catch urine and feces. They are designed to keep the baby dry and comfortable while preventing leaks. Diapers come in various types, including disposable and cloth options, each with its own benefits. Disposable diapers are convenient and easy to use, while cloth diapers are reusable and more environmentally friendly.
Most diapers have a waterproof outer layer and an absorbent inner layer to lock in moisture. They are typically secured with adhesive tabs or snaps. Parents often change diapers regularly to maintain hygiene and prevent diaper rash, a common skin irritation in babies.
