When were disposable nappies first made?

Disposable nappies were first invented in the 1940s, with the first commercial product introduced by Procter & Gamble in 1961 under the brand name Pampers. However, the concept of disposable diapers can be traced back to earlier innovations in the 19th century, when various materials were used to create single-use options. The widespread adoption of disposable nappies occurred in the 1970s, revolutionizing baby care.
