1946: American housewife Marion Donovan patents the �Boater� (waterproof cover with snaps for cloth diaper or disposable insert).
1947: British mother Valerie Hunter Gordon develops a two-piece disposable diaper for her own baby and sells more than 400 to local women. Two years later, Robinson & Sons commercializes a two-piece Paddi Pad diaper based on this concept
