The Bumkins cloth diaper was invented in 1874. This was revolutionary at the time, as the cloth material allowed for ease of movement for babies and freedom for parents.
The modern version of Bumkins cloth diapers was founded in 1989 by Jakki Liberman. She observed the need for durable and environmentally friendly diapering solutions for babies.

Marion Donovan (1917 - 1998) invented the diaper. Her first design involved a plastic cover over the traditional cloth diaper. This design was called the Boater. Later, Donovan invented the first disposable diaper by combining the plastic cover with disposable absorbent cloth.
Bumpkins' diapers are reusable cloth diapers. Depending on the item, different functional fabrics are used. These include polyurethane laminate (PUL) for the standard cloth diaper, unbleached premium Indian cotton for the prefold diapers, bamboo rayon for snap inserts, and velour for reusable wipes.

It's called a Nappy here in Australia. It is also referred to as a Nappy in the U.K. The term diaper refers to the pattern of cloth that was used in the 16th century for swaddling cloth in the UK.

The U.S. and Canada continued using the term diaper while in the U.K. ( and Australia ) replaced the term with 'nappy.'
