diapers

Infant absorbent garments

Diapers are absorbent garments worn by infants and others who cannot control bladder or bowel functions.

They wrap around the lower body and fasten at the waist.

Disposable diapers dominate modern use, though cloth diapers persist for environmental or economic reasons.

The baby needs a diaper change.

In British English, the word is nappy.
