Who invented diapers?

At the beginning of human birth, the concept of "diapers" was used, but diapers at that time were completely different from diapers now. At that time, the baby used "diapers" made of "pure natural materials", such as some plant leaves, animal skins or folded weeds and moss. Although it is impossible to verify how often the ancient people changed the "diaper pants" for babies, it is generally believed that it would be good to change it every three or four days. In cold places, in order to keep warm, babies are often wrapped in blankets, and these blankets are the original "diaper pants". In some tropical areas, people seldom use "diapers". Mothers will predict the baby's excretion time, and then carry the baby outside for convenience to avoid soiling the house.

Until the middle of19th century, with the industrialization of a large number of cheap cotton fabrics, the original diapers were born. Rectangular or square diapers are folded or tied outside the baby's underwear or underpants to hold urine. In order to better protect their babies, smart mothers add many interesting elements to diapers. Such as moss, peat and other natural water-absorbing substances! Or fold two or more diapers together to prevent urine leakage.

The prototype of the diapers you see now appeared in Europe and North America in 1930- 1950, that is, fifty or sixty years ago. Just like many famous inventions in the world that greatly improved people's lives, the birth of diapers was closely related to the Second World War. In order to solve the problem of cotton shortage during World War II, the Germans invented a kind of fiber tissue paper made of wood pulp, which is very soft and absorbent. Later, a Swedish company continued its research and development, cutting this tissue paper into special shapes, folding it, packaging it with gauze or mesh knitted fabric, and then putting it in the underwear of babies. Soon, this new type of diapers began to be sold in major hospitals and stores, but the cost was very high, and the price at that time was also very expensive!

Later, an American mother thought that although this disposable diaper was very useful, it could not solve the problem of urine infiltration, so she thought of adding a waterproof layer under the diaper or disposable diaper and applied for a patent, which was another revolutionary great progress.

After years of painstaking research and development,

1968 Kimberly's disposable diapers immediately stood out.

Many innovations in products have even become industry standards. For example, the triangular design is introduced for the first time, which fits the baby's body well. The new water-absorbing materials and adhesive buttons have the advantages of tailored fit and convenient fixation. However, it is still an imperfect product, and many mothers complain that urine leakage still occurs when their babies stand up or play. In order to make the baby play more enjoyable, curious advanced diapers came into being. At that time, curious diapers won the love of many mothers with their novel and high-end design. More fit tailoring, elastic leg design and reusable buckle can better prevent side leakage and make the baby more comfortable and fit!
