A diaper refers to an absorbent undergarment worn by infants, aged people, and individuals with disabilities to control their bladder and bowel movements. It is manufactured by piling several layers of fabric, such as hemp, cotton, bamboo, plastic, and polyethylene, with an inner lining of polypropylene. It aids in improving fluid absorption and retention abilities. As a result, it is widely available in numerous sizes, shapes, and weights to meet the requirement of users.
