The bib 10 includes a first absorbent layer 22 and the second waterproof layer 24 with adhesive strips 62 and 64 provided on the waterproof layer 24. A pocket 50 is provided at the bottom of the bib, and is constructed to normally remain "open" during use. The bib can be creased along crease lines 66 and 68 for storage; areas of silicone 70 may be applied to allow the adhesive to be removed from a folded position. The leg-like extensions 34 and 36 allow the bib 10 to be closely fitted around the neck of any wearer.
