Adult Diapers

The problem of clothing infants not yet potty trained is as old as human history. In some nonaligned nations with warmer climates, babies were kept naked and mothers tried to anticipate Link their bowel movements so as to avoid mess near their living areas. This method is admitted as elimination communication and is still used today in some cultures.

In the 19th century, the current diaper began to take shape and children in Europe and North America were being diapered using cotton material, held in place with a safety pin. Tarp diapers were first mass produced in 1887 by Maria Allen in the United States.
