Cloth Diaper (Nappy) Part 2

1500's
There is little information during this time, but that which I could find I will place. (This was also a difficult time in history)

  1. The first time diapers/nappies were actually really used (before this they were usually naked or swaddled).
  2. It started during the reign of Queen Elizabeth in England.
  3. Not similar to today
  • Times were difficult
  • Water were used sparingly
  • Diapers were rarely changed
  • The soiled nappy were rarely washed
  • Solids were shaken out and hung up to dry (then used again when dry)
  • The term diapers only originated from the 1800's
  1. We are very privileged to know about hygiene, to have easy access to water and for electricity now a days.
