Abstract: A diaper construction having a soft base material and an overlying transparent and translucent moisture-proof material defines openings therein in order to cause soiling in the diaper to be viewable without removal of the diaper or feeling inside the diaper. The openings are in the shape of letters or numbers, so that, for instance, the letter "U" or "W" in the front portion causes urination to be observable from the outside, and an opening in the form of the letter "S" in the rear portion causes stool to be viewable from the outside of the diaper.

Abstract: A diaper is provided in forms to accommodate male and female wearers. In the male form, a pouch is provided in the area for accommodating the male genitalia, the pouch being formed with an absorbent pad. For the female wearer, an extra absorbent pad, but no pouch, is provided in the area for accommodating the female genitalia. In both forms, an absorbent pad is raised from the area of the diaper which accommodates the perineum of the wearer in order to prevent urine leaking back to the area of the anus of the wearer.
