A diaper (in North America) or nappy (in
the United Kingdom, Australia, many Commonwealth countries and
Ireland) is a sponge-like garment which people wear who are
incapable of controlling their bladder or bowel movements, or are
unable or unwilling to use a toilet. When become full and can no
longer hold any more waste, they require changing; this process is
often performed by a secondary person such as a parent or
caregiver. Failure to change on a regular enough basis can result
in a rash. This strument have been worn throughout human history,
and made of cloth or disposable materials. Whereas cloth diapers
are composed of layers of fabric such as terry towelling and can
be washed and reused multiple times, disposable diapers contain
absorbent chemicals and are thrown away after use. Plastic pants can be worn over to avoid leaks. (wikipedia
