| Abstract: |
An adjustable diaper has a generally rectangular body portion of a flexible, sheet-like material. The diaper has a front part with two pairs of openings which are elongated in the direction parallel to the sides of the body portion. The openings of each pair are near one side of the body portion and are the same distance from the one side. The openings of each pair are spaced-apart in a direction extending from the front end of the body portion so the openings coincide when the body portion is folded parallel to the front end between the openings of each said pair. A pair of strap members extend from each side of the body portion near the back end and include hook and loop fasteners for releasably securing each strap member to the back part of the body portion when each strap member extends through at least one of the openings and is doubled back to the back part of the body portion.

- a pluraliy of layers of moisture absorbent material between the layers of material of the body portion and sewn thereto;
- a pair of strap members extending from said sides of the body portion near the back end;
- the strap members being relatively thin and each having a width slightly less than the length of each said slot-like openings and being sufficiently long to extend through the slot-like openings of the front part and double back to overlie the back part;
