Kleinert's Waterproof Baby Pants (1014)


Figure 1.--We have found a 1914 periodical advertisemnt for Kleinert's waterproof Baby Pants. The ad does not say how they are warerproofed, but we assume that there was a rubberized lining. Interestingly the waistline and leg hems are not elasticized, so presumably they could be leaks.

We have found a 1914 periodical advertisemnt for Kleinert's waterproof Baby Pants. The ad does not say how they are warerproofed, but we assume that there was a rubberized lining. They were done in single and double texture versions. The advertisement ad copy suggests that they were for long journesys when changing diappers woyld be complicated. Interestingly the waistline and leg hems are not elasticized, so presumably they could be leaks. We are not yet sure when elasticized waistlines and leg hems were introduced. Kleinert's was a manufacturer. They are still in busuiness as a manufacturr of incontinence garments.
