A diaper is woven with an unfolded width of greater than about 40 inches, and is then folded along not fewer than three warp-direction fold lines in such a way that the central panel of the folded diaper includes at least four superposed layers while each side panel includes only one or two superposed layers. The number of filling yarns per inch in the diaper is considerably reduced, as compared to conventional diapers, thus providing an increase in production speed and hence a reduction in production cost, without decreasing (and generally increasing) the total thread count per square inch in, and absorbency of, the central panel.
