Abstract: A disposable diaper has an absorbent pad confined between a permeable front panel and a liquid impervious back panel, with a flexible containment pouch being enclosed within a pocket adjacent to the back panel. A perforated closure panel secures the containment pouch within the pocket. The containment pouch is carried within the closure panel pocket while the diaper is being worn. For disposal of the diaper, the closure panel is ruptured and the containment pouch is removed from the pocket. The diaper is then rolled up and inserted into the containment pouch for disposal.
