Abstract
Fluid permeable inner facing and impermeable outer facings are biased cut with reduced width between oppositely disposed larger ends, and absorbent filler sandwiched between the facings. A strip of inner facing as long as a diaper periphery is wrapped around a rolled belt of absorbent filler and the facing edges of inner and outer facings are sewed together with the edges of the wrapped belt of filter to form a border welted edge. Fastening flaps extend from the upper part of the diaper transversely to fasten by adhesive tape to a folded up lower portion of the diaper and secure it in place.
