  • Publication number: 20080282475
    Abstract: A disposable diaper changing pad for positioning on a supporting structure such as a diaper changing table provides a barrier between the diaper changing table and a child positioned on the top surface of the pad. The changing pad includes a liquid absorbent material and a latent elasticity formed in the pad proximate a peripheral edge of the pad. The pad can be stretched over a top surface of the table and contract against the table so that the pad maintains complete coverage over the top surface of the changing table. The latent elasticity can be provided by an elastic band positioned within the pad.
