               separable vertical edges extending downwardly from the                 
          upper edges to the upper extent of the leg holes with adhesive              
          strips for securing the layers on the baby;

          the interior layer and coupled at the periphery to the                      
          interior face  of the exterior layer at the rear, the                       
          intermediate layer having an upper edge adjacent to the upper               
          edge of the exterior layer and extending horizontally for the               
          majority of the extent of the rear and extending vertically                 
          for the majority of the extent of the rear thereby forming a
