A reusable diaper assembly includes a diaper that may be worn on a child. A first mating member is coupled to the diaper and a second mating member is coupled to the diaper. A first fastener is coupled to the diaper and the first mating member is matable to the first fastener to retain the diaper on the child. A second fastener is coupled to the diaper and the second mating member is matable to the second fastener to retain the diaper on the child. An absorbing unit is removably coupled to the diaper. The absorbing unit is comprised of a fluid absorbent material to absorb waste from the child. Moreover, the absorbing unit is selectively removed from the diaper to be disposed of when the absorbing unit becomes soaked with the waste. In this way the diaper may be re-used.

According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of reusable cloth diapers. In the diaper is an insert in which there are inner absorbing layers that are arranged specifically to absorb and hold a predetermined volume of waste. Also, the layers are sewn on three sides leaving a pocket opening that allows a person to easily guide their hand into the insert to easily guide and place into position inside the reusable cloth diaper.

A permeable undergarment comprising, a top portion and a bottom portion wherein the top portion of the undergarment is provided by a waistband, and the bottom portion of the undergarment is provided with the permeable layer. The permeable layer comprises a mesh of wicking fibres to wick the body fluids discharged from a user and transfers the body fluids through the permeable layer. A detachable pouch having a base layer and a plurality of side walls is also provided. The detachable pouch is defined such that, the base layer and the plurality of side walls together form a housing region. The housing region may house at least one absorption pad. The detachable pouch may be detachably attached or joined to the undergarment such that, the body fluids discharged from the user flows through the permeable layer and into the detachable pouch for absorption by the at least one absorption pad.

An incontinence product for a baby or a child or an adult. The product comprises a disposable pad that is shaped to fit around a crotch region of a person wearing the product. The product also comprises a reusable out pull-on pant having hook fasteners on the inside body of the pant to engage an outer cover stock of the disposable pad and thereby retain the pad in an operative position.

A double gusset cloth diaper including an inner surface and an outer surface forming an hourglass shape, having a groin area proximate a center line of the reusable diaper and defining at least one recess therebetween. A fluid absorbent material is removably located in the recess through the opening. A first gusset is attached to the reusable diaper to form a first seal between the inner surface and the legs of the user. A second gusset is attached to the reusable diaper proximate the first gusset. The gussets are formed of an elastic material attached to the wrong side of the inner surface in a channel formed by stitching the inner surface to form channels.

The invention relates to a disposable incontinence diaper (2), with a main part (4) comprising a front region (12), a rear region (16) with rear lateral longitudinal edges (18), and rear side portions (22) attached on both sides to the rear region (16), whereas no side portions (22) are attached to the front region (14), and instead front lateral longitudinal edges (14) of the main part (4) form a free-ending longitudinal edge of the diaper, wherein the rear side portions (22) can each be placed in a circumferential direction around the body of a user, in order to apply and close the disposable incontinence diaper (2) on the user, and can be brought into an overlapping arrangement with an outer face of the front region (12) at which they can then be affixed releasably via the respective closure means (28), wherein the rear side portions (22) have an extent Q in the transverse direction (10) in the state when spread out flat but not stretched, wherein the rear side portions (22) are elastically extensible within this extent Q in the transverse direction (10) and for this purpose have an elastic or elasticated region (42) extended in the transverse direction (10) and in the longitudinal direction (8), wherein this extent Q in the transverse direction (10) comprises a proximal portion (38), adjoining the rear lateral longitudinal edge (18), and a free-ending distal portion (40), and wherein the proximal portion (38), starting from the rear lateral longitudinal edge (18), extends in the transverse direction (10) by a length that is 65% of the extent Q of a rear side portion (22), characterized in that the respective elastic or elasticated region (42) of the rear side portions (22) is arranged completely within the proximal portion (38) and reaches the assigned rear lateral longitudinal edge (18) or is at a distance of at most 30 mm from the rear lateral longitudinal edge (18) in the transverse direction (10), and in that the respective rear side portions (22) are substantially non-extensible in the entire distal portion (40).

A diaper band for ensuring that a toddler cannot remove a diaper secured thereby. The diaper band has central inner-facing hook fabric that can be attached to the fabric on the front of a typical diaper (disposable or reusable). The diaper band also has ends bearing hook and loop material that are securable to the back of the diaper behind the back of the toddler, to ensure that the toddler cannot detach the diaper band. The diaper band securely covers the attachment tabs of the diaper, so that the toddler cannot undo the diaper tabs. The central inward-facing hook fabric can be one or more material patches that are big enough to grab onto the front fabric of the diaper, the same front fabric for attaching the diaper tabs. Alternatively, the central inward-facing hook material region can extend along the entire length of the diaper band.
