When was the disposable diaper invented?

When you choose diapers for babies, the most important consideration is to figure out what works for your baby. You might discover that the skin of your newborn reacts to one diaper brand and not another, or that a certain brand has more blowouts for your little one. It usually involves some trial and error to find the right diaper and it’s all about figuring out what’s best for your specific baby.

Who invented the adult diaper?

It depends on what you mean by "Adult Diaper". I'm sure that even in the distant past cloth material was used as diapers (just like for children) on adults who needed them. Later sheets of tissue paper were used inside rubber pants. The first commercial children's cloth diapers were produced by Maria Allen in 1887, but It wouldn't be until 1949 that Johnson and Johnson produced the first commercial cloth type Adult Diaper. Ironically Johnson & Johnson had already introduced the first disposable children's diaper the year before. However, Adult would have to wait until 1987 when a company called Unicharm launched the "Lifree" brand adult disposable diapers in Japan.

Who invented the disposable diaper?

The first absorbent pad to be used as a disposable diaper was invented in 1942 by Pauli Storm in Sweden; he made it from unbleached creped cellulose tissue. According to Wikipedia these early disposable diapers had the capacity to hold 100cc of urine, which was roughly one wetting. Although this was cumbersome it was certainly an improvement on the cotton variety because there was no laundering, no sterilizing of diapers and no mess.
