When were disposable diaper first used

The disposable diaper developed stepbystep and can really be attributed to any one person or company. Early disposable diapers were luxury items most people couldn afford to use regularly. The first disposable pad used as a diaper was around 1942 and was made of creped cellulose, because cotton was needed for the war effort. In the mid40s an American housewife named Marion Donovan received several patents for her "disposable diaper" model, which was just a cloth diaper inserted in some plastic shower curtain material. She also used snaps instead of safety pins. In 1947, George M. Schroder and Henry Frede Co. created the first disposable diaper with nonwoven fabric. Also in 1947, a two piece disposable model was created by a British woman named Valerie Hunter Gordan. Rumor has it that Eastern Airlines commissioned the company Chicopee (J to develop a disposable diaper for customers on long transatlantic flights, and they created CHUX disposables in 1949. Then in 1950, a roll diaper was marketed by Paulistrom, which had to be cut to fit and inserted into reusable diaper covers. However, disposable diapers as we know them were not available on the market until 1961, after Vic Mills (working for Procter and Gamble) created "Pampers". Thereafter, disposable diapers evolved rapidly into what we know today.
