In the 1960s, the disposable diaper rapidly took hold and cloth diaper use fell out of favor.

The disposable diaper industry has been accused of encouraging this trend by manufacturing diapers in increasingly larger sizes.

In the 20th century, the disposable diaper was conceived.

Disposable diaper producers also were early to convert to fluff pulp because of its low cost and high absorbency.

A disposable diaper factory, originally owned by the kibbutz, was privatized in 2003.
