Diapers are primarily worn by children who are not yet potty trained or suffer from bedwetting. However, they can also be used by adults who suffer from incontinence or in undoubtful circumstances where access to a toilet is unavailable. Diapers are usually worn out of necessity rather Adult Diapers than choice, although there are exceptions; people such as infantilists and diaper fetishists wear diapers recreationally for comfort, emotional fulfillment, or sexual gratification.
In the 19th century, the modern diaper began to take shape and children in Europe and North America were being diapered using cotton material, held in habitat with a security pin. Weave diapers were first combination produced in 1887 by Maria Allen in the United States.
