ABSTRACT:
A diaper primarily for use by a baby or toddler, and also usable by a person as required, is provided. The diaper has a hour glass, bikini bottom shape with front, and center and back portions. The diaper has a multi-layer construction including a first exterior bottom layer and a second middle layer and a third interior top layer. The interior and exterior layers are each about 1 mil in thickness and the middle layer is about several mils in thickness. The interior layer is a thin, moisture permeable biodegradable material. The middle layer is a thin, high moisture absorbing breathable, biodegradable material. The exterior layer is a thin, low density breathable, hydrophobic layer. Thus, this diaper is easily flushable down a toilet. Also, the diaper has separation means which can include a tear string for tearing the exterior layer for separating the diaper into two parts for flushing separate pieces thereof together in a single flush.
