Abstract
The improvements, in a disposable diaper including a fluid permeable top sheet and a fluid impermeable bottom sheet bound and secured together along their transverse and longitudinal edges and having a fluid absorbent pad disposed between the top and bottom sheets and including several layers of cellulose wadding and a layer of fiberized pulp disposed between the cellulose wadding layers, as follows. The top and bottom sheets are bound together along their transverse edges by means of short, spaced, glue lines extending transversely to and spaced along the transverse edges of the disposable diaper for providing soft, flexible, transverse edges to the diaper for comfort when placed in position on the wearer. Longitudinally-extending, thin, narrow, embossed lines in the wadding layers hold the several layers together and effectively enclose the fiberized pulp layer between the cellulosic wadding layers to prevent dislocation of the fiberized pulp layer during use of the diaper.
