Diapers are absorbent materials that allow the wearers to defecate or urinate without utilizing a toilet. The inner lining of diapers is made of polypropylene which prevents the outer cloth from being soiled by absorbing or containing the waste products. They offer advantages over cloth diapers, such as reducing the chances of diaper dermatitis, owing to which an increasing number of parents are opting for modern disposable diapers. Moreover, the development in technologies used in the manufacturing of diapers has improved their designs, bio-degradability and safety. According to IMARC Group, the global diaper market reached a value of US$ 65 Billion in 2018.
