<p>An anti-irritant disposable diaper (10) to contain solid waste and maintain it and wet absorbent material apart from the skin of the infant, thus removing the two major sources of irritation caused by prior art disposable diapers. The diaper (10) comprises a front portion, a crotch area (13), a rear portion, and closing arrangement. A rib (16) extending from the top edge of the diaper to the top rear edge of the diaper maintains a gap (28) between the diaper and the skin surface. A solid waste receptacle is retained in the crotch area of the diaper interior, and may comprise a bag (18) attached either to a set of straps (12), or directly to the sides of the crotch area (13) of the diaper, or to an aperture (38) provided in the diaper. Alternatively, the rigid rib (16) may be provided with a rigid pocket (34) for solid waste containment.</p> |
