A variable sized diaper, which is reusable, is disclosed. The diaper inlcudes an outer liquid impermeable panel having a generally hourglass configuration. The outer panel is sealedly connected about its perimeter to a corresponding inner panel having a substantially identical outer perimeter. The inner panel includes a fluid absorbent core, longitudinally positioned along the length of the diaper which is circumscribed by a plurality of side panels and waist panels which are constructed of liquid impermeable fabric. A conjunction of the inner panel and the outer panel defines a liquid permeable absorbent core which is substantially surrounded by a fluid impermeable hollow pocket or sack which extends about the entire circumference of the absorbent core. A 'V'-shaped pile attachment strip is positioned on the frontmost regions of the diaper and is adapted to connect with a pair of hook fasteners one of which is positioned on each of the two wing-like portions of the rear portion of the diaper. The association of the hook and pile fasteners permits an adjustable placement of the diaper about the waist or girth of the infant. As the waist fitting region of the diaper is adjusted a corresponding adjustment in the leg openings of the diaper is obtained whereby the diaper may be adapted for use for an infant weighing between six to thirty pounds. The diaper also includes means of folding the frontmost portions of the diaper down so as to expose the naval region of the infant, thereby avoiding irritation of that region during its post-natal healing process.
