contour diaper (plural contour diapers)
- A flat diaper which is already hourglass-shaped, rendering folding unnecessary.
- The contour diaper is regarded by some experts as an attempt to improve an unimprovable product. Since these are hemmed, there is a chance that the thick edge will chafe—thus counteracting the possible advantages of less bulk in the diaper area. They are awkward to stack neatly.1970, California Farmer, volume 232, page 9
- A new R&D effort produced Huggies, a contour diaper with an hourglass shape and elastic leg bands. Introduced in 1978, the new brand achieved national distribution in 1982. By the end of 1986, Huggies had a 34 percent share of the U.S. market.2005, Mark E. Parry, Strategic Marketing Management: A Means-end Approach, McGraw-Hill, →ISBN, page 131
