Abstract
A disposable nappy for a baby comprises at least one sheet of flexible impermeable material comprising two longitudinal edges intended to define the openings for the baby's legs and two transverse edges intended to define a waist portion and an absorbent pad superimposed on a central region of the impermeable sheet. The nappy is characterised in that it comprises respectively in the immediate vicinity of each of the longitudinal edges; on either side of the pad, a flexible longitudinal sheath inside which a flexible longitudinal tie is able to slide and in that each sheath comprises means for gaining access to the corresponding flexible tie in order to enable the latter to be gripped manually and to be tensioned at will in order to reduce the apparent length of the longitudinal edges; to press the latter at will around the baby's legs and to give the disposable nappy the shape of a trough, between the latter.
