Abstract:

A diaper and method for improving male genital health, the diaper including a non-absorbent insert positioned on an inner surface of an inner layer in the proximity of a front region thereof such that when the diaper is worn by a male wearer the insert is positioned adjacent the penis of the male wearer. In the method, a non-absorbent insert is interposed between the meatus and the absorbent diaper to prevent undesired drying of the meatus which can lead to meatal stenosis and related complications.
