diaper
Infant bottom cover
A diaper is an absorbent garment worn by infants and others who cannot control their bladder or bowels.
In American English, diaper covers both cloth and disposable varieties; British English prefers nappy.
To diaper a baby is to put one on: I need to diaper him before we leave.
The phrase in diapers indicates infancy or extreme youth.
