without the use of toilets. There are great variations in diapering practices which reflect cultural standard &
practices and regional differentiation. Diapering habits are mostly influenced by income level, family
practices and cultural standards. Diaper use is considered as standard in most parts of the world. Materials
used in the production of diapers vary globally with disposable diapers being the most common and popular
diaper. Cloth diapers are also in trend but these are mostly preferred in Asian countries like India and China
