A diaper, or designated by the brand name diaper, is an absorbent garment in which the rule is used by people and sometimes animals. This refers to babies and young children (or animals, such as monkeys) that are unclean, or people who are incontinent, as (in part) may be the case in the elderly and lichamelijk- or mentally handicapped.
Also diapers are used by people who can not reach the toilet in time (scuba divers, astronauts, etc.). Finally, whether or not special, diapers are worn and / or used by people with infantilistische feelings, often in the setting of a so-called age or Ageplay game.
During the day, most kids do not need more diapers when they are three to four years old. Some children remain longer uncleanliness. This can have several reasons, including insufficient production of ADH in the body, diabetes, emotional or physical issues.

Some people just do speak about diaper taboo then break as much as possible. Flemish is spoken in everyday language rather a "pamper". The term is used to denote all kinds of disposable diapers for babies and adults, irrespective of the brand (Pampers is in fact the brand name of the baby diapers of the Procter & Gamble Company)
