A diaper changing pad is a pad in which to change a baby's diapers on. Diaper changing pads prevent wetness and soiling of surrounding areas while diapering babies. Diaper changing pads are commonly made out of 100% waterproof vinyl, with a soft quilted and padded backing to add to baby's comfort.

Mrs Johnson gathered up all three corners of her daughters towelling squares by pulling them snug and tight.

While walking through the alleyway, I spotted a sagging clothesline with towelling squares and rubber pants hung up drying on it.
