Reusable diapers

A gender neutral reusable diaper, comprising:

• a waist portion defining a waist edge portion of the diaper;
• an outer layer formed of a substantially liquid-impervious material;
• an inner layer comprising an absorbent material and defining at least part of the waist portion;
• and
• at least one fluid-absorbing insert for use in absorbing fluids, a first end of the at least one fluid-absorbing insert fastened to the inner layer at a first location, a second end of the at least one fluid-absorbing insert opposite the first end fastened to the inner layer at a second location, the at least one fluid-absorbing insert being adjustable relative to the waist portion by folding a portion of the at least one fluid-absorbing insert between the first and second ends of the at least one fluid-absorbing insert over itself at a desired location between said first location and said second location to form an overlapped region of the at least one fluid-absorbing insert for accommodating use of the reusable diaper by a male and/or a female;
• wherein the inner layer includes at least one liquid-resistant region disposed between the waist edge portion of the diaper and the at least one fluid-absorbing insert for resisting movement of fluid from the at least one fluid-absorbing insert along the waist portion to the waist edge portion of the diaper.

A gender neutral reusable diaper, comprising:

• an inner layer comprising an absorbent material;
• an outer layer stitched to the inner layer, the outer layer formed of a substantially liquid-impervious material;
• a forward waist portion defined by at least part of the inner layer;
• a rearward waist portion opposite the forward waist portion and defined by at least part of the inner layer;
• a crotch portion between the forward waist portion and the rearward waist portion and defined by at least part of the inner layer;
• a fluid-absorbing insert having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a portion between the first and second ends;
• wherein the forward waist portion, the rearward waist portion and the crotch portion cooperatively define leg openings to accommodate a wearer's legs when the gender neutral diaper is configured for use;
• wherein the fluid-absorbing insert is attached to the inner layer opposite the outer layer, the first end of the fluid-absorbing layer is attached to the inner layer by stitching at a first location closer to the forward waist portion than the rearward waist portion, the second end of the fluid-absorbing layer is attached to the inner layer by stitching at a second location closer to the rearward waist portion than the forward waist portion;
• and
• wherein the portion of the fluid-absorbing insert between the first and second ends is selectively overlappable to create an overlapped region of the fluid-absorbing insert at a selectable position between the first and second locations to accommodate use by a male when the overlapped region is positioned at a forward location adjacent the forward waist portion for absorbing fluids discharged by the male wearer or to accommodate use by a female when the overlapped region is positioned at a central location for absorbing fluids discharged by the female wearer.
