<p>A two-piece diaper system which is partially or wholly compostable is provided. The system has a re-usable shell and a removable and replaceable absorbent pad, parts or all of which are manufactured of compostable material. The re-usable shell consists of a non-absorbent outer liquid impervious shell, as in a standard disposable diaper but without an integral central absorbent layer which is exposed to liquids in the crotch area. A separate disposable absorbent pad is provided in the central crotch area of the disposable diaper which is not sandwiched in the shell. By making the shell re-usable, the cost of using the diaper system is reduced, to permit the use of compostable materials.</p> |
