A baby's reusable napkin for receiving a replaceable diaper, comprising:
- a moisture impervious outer layer and a relatively moisture absorbent inner layer having an exposed textured surface for receiving and retaining the replaceable diaper, said layers being substantially the same size and shape and secured to one another, said layers have opposing sides inwardly concavely curved along their entire length in a modified hyperbolic-like form to provide a narrow central portion straddled by the baby when the napkin is worn, the transverse axes of the hyperbolic-like curves of said sides converging toward the front of said napkin and intersecting at an angle of less than 180.degree., said curved sides to configuring said napkin that it is non-symmetrical about a crosswise line intersecting said sides in said narrow central portion to provide a greater area to the region of the napkin that, in use, will be adjacent the buttocks and back of the baby than to the region that will be in front, said layers having both ends arcuately inwardly curved to a lesser extent than said sides, said end of said napkin that, in use, will be adjacent the waist at the back of the baby containing an elastic construction centrally located on said end for providing a fullness to the napkin in the region that, in use, will be adjacent the buttocks of the baby, said curved ends and sides forming corner portions sufficiently extended as to permit them to be tied together about the baby for securing the napkin to the baby.
