Diapers, usually white in colour, rectangular in shape, and fashioned out of either a washable, or disposable type of material or fabric, are brought up between a baby's legs and fastened at the sides (near a baby's hips), with either safety pins (diaper pins), or sticky tabs, depending on which type of diapers one is using. Usually fairly bulky by design, diapers remain to be the most popular and simplistic method used today to contain the waste of babies under the age of 3 years.
