ABSTRACT:
A diaper (10) according to the invention comprises a conventional, rectangular washable diaper form (12) with opposite inner and outer surfaces (10a, 10b). A pair of attachment tabs (15) each secured to an upper corner of the fabric (12) engage fastening strips (20) secured to the outer surface of the fabric adjacent a lower edge thereof. The fastening strips (20) are elongated and are vertically oriented for adjustable, mating engagement with the attachment tabs (15) to accommodate growth of the infant. The lower edge portion (24) carrying the fastening strips (20) can be folded onto the inner surface (10a) to expose a second elongated fastening strip (25) attachable to tabs (15) to provide a smaller diaper for newborn infants. The backband (30) reinforces the area of attachment of tabs (15) to the diaper form (12). Protective strip portions (50) are provided in several embodiments to cover the hook-bearing attachment surfaces (15a, 19) of the tabs to prevent lint accumulation during washing. A templet (60) is disclosed enabling the conventional diaper (12) to be modified to the diaper (10) of the invention.
