Carrying vacuum-packaged diaper in pocket on person

A method of traveling with a disposable diaper on one's person, comprising the steps of:

• (a) first, packaging a disposable diaper such that the packaged diaper is dimensioned to fit within a pocket of an article of clothing on one's person, said packaging including,
• (i) folding the disposable diaper by forming three widthwise folds in the disposable diaper evenly spaced along a length of the diaper between opposed ends of the diaper,
• (ii) after said folding,
• (A) compressing the disposable diaper from a first condition to a second, compressed condition such that each of the height, width, and length dimensions of the disposable diaper is reduced without folding of the diaper during said compressing, and such that at least one of the reduced dimensions is reduced by at least 30%, and
• (B) retaining the disposable diaper in the second, compressed condition by,
• (1) locating the diaper in an interior space defined by a substantially flexible material,
• (2) creating a negative pressure within the interior space, and
• (3) hermetically sealing the diaper at the negative pressure within the interior space of the flexible material such that, when placed within a pocket of an article of clothing on one's person, a pressure differential acts upon the flexible material to maintain the diaper in the compressed condition;
• and
• (b) thereafter,
• (i) placing said packaged diaper in a pocket of an article of clothing on one's person, and
• (ii) traveling with said disposed packaged diaper in the pocket of the article of clothing on one's person.

A method of traveling with a disposable diaper on one's person, comprising the steps of:

• (a) first, packaging a disposable diaper such that the packaged diaper is dimensioned to fit within a pocket of an article of clothing on one's person, said packaging including,
• (i) rolling the disposable diaper such that the disposable diaper is cylindrical in shape,
• (ii) after said rolling,
• (A) compressing the disposable diaper from a first condition to a second, compressed condition such that each of the width, thickness, and diameter dimensions of the disposable diaper is reduced without rolling of the diaper during said compressing, and such that at least one of the reduced dimensions is reduced by at least 30%, and
• (B) retaining the disposable diaper in the second, compressed condition by,
• (1) locating the diaper in an interior space defined by a substantially flexible material,
• (2) creating a negative pressure within the interior space, and
• (3) hermetically sealing the diaper at the negative pressure within the interior space of the flexible material such that, when placed within a pocket of an article of clothing on one's person, a pressure differential acts upon the flexible material to maintain the diaper in the compressed condition;

• (ii) traveling with said disposed packaged diaper in the pocket of the article of clothing on one's person.

A method of traveling with a disposable diaper on one's person, comprising the steps of:

• (a) first, vacuum-packaging a disposable diaper such that the vacuum-packaged diaper is dimensioned to fit within a pocket of an article of clothing on one's person, said vacuum-packaged diaper comprising,
• (i) packaging made from a substantially flexible material, and
• (ii) a disposable diaper contained within the packaging in a compressed condition,
• (iii) wherein the packaging is hermetically sealed at negative pressure such that a pressure differential acts upon the packaging to maintain the diaper in the compressed condition;
• and
• (b) thereafter,
• (i) placing said vacuum-packaged diaper in a pocket of an article of clothing on one's person, and
• (ii) traveling with said disposed packaged diaper in the pocket of the article of clothing on one's person.
