nappies

Infant bottom wraps

Nappies is the British term for what Americans call diapers—absorbent garments worn by infants or incontinent adults.

The singular nappy derives from napkin.

The baby needs changing—we're running low on nappies.

In American English, nappy as an adjective describes tightly coiled or kinky hair, often with offensive connotations when applied to Black hair.
