AI overview
A diaper is a type of underwear that absorbs or contains urine and feces, allowing the wearer to urinate or defecate without using a toilet while protecting clothing and surroundings from soiling. Diapers must be regularly changed by a caregiver when they become wet or soiled, as infrequent changing can cause skin problems.

Diapers are made of cloth or synthetic disposable materials. Cloth diapers are composed of layers of fabric such as cotton, hemp, bamboo, microfiber, or even plastic fibers such as PLA or PU, and can be washed and reused multiple times. Disposable diapers contain absorbent chemicals and are thrown away after use.
