The first absorbent pad to be used as a disposable diaper was invented in 1942 by Pauli Storm in Sweden; he made it from unbleached creped cellulose tissue.

Although this was cumbersome it was certainly an improvement on the cotton variety because there was no laundering, no sterilizing of diapers and no mess.
