Patent ID: 8777915

Claim:
A reusable diaper comprising: at least one inner layer; at least one outer layer; and a waist portion having at least one resiliently stretchable corner region for use in securing the reusable diaper in a desired position; wherein the at least one resiliently stretchable corner region is substantially impervious to liquids; wherein the at least one resiliently stretchable corner region includes a first layer and a second layer coupled together so as to define an interior portion of at least one resiliently stretchable corner region, the first layer being further coupled to the at least one inner layer, and the second layer being further coupled to the at least one outer layer; wherein the reusable diaper includes: a first seam allowance defined by the first layer of the at least one resiliently stretchable corner region and the at least one inner layer, the first seam allowance being positioned generally within the interior portion of the at least one resiliently stretchable corner region, whereby the first seam allowance helps inhibit wicking of liquid through the first seam allowance and into the at least one resiliently stretchable corner region; and/or a second seam allowance defined by the second layer of the at least one resiliently stretchable corner region and the at least one outer layer, the second seam allowance being positioned generally within the interior portion of the at least one resiliently stretchable corner region, whereby the second seam allowance helps inhibit wicking of liquid through the second seam allowance and into the at least one resiliently stretchable corner region.
