A type of diaper has been in use since ancient times though it would have borne little relation to anything used today. In the Middle East around the time of Christ babies the diapers were a type of swaddling cloth made of skin. The word diaper originally referred to the type of cloth that was used. Diaper was used to describe a small geometric pattern and later came to describe the fiber with this pattern in the USA and Canada. In Britain diapers are referred to as nappies, and this word is generally presumed to be short for a napkin.
