Examples
“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.”
“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.”
“Contour diapers are a step up from prefolds. You don't need⟳ to do any folding, they tend⟳ to be more absorbent, and they are less bulky.”
