Tips

register
尿不湿 ('won't get wet from pee') is the colloquial brand-derived term — it actually started as a Pampers Chinese marketing line in the 1990s and became the generic word, like 'Kleenex'. The neutral/written term is 纸尿裤 (zhǐniàokù, 'paper diaper pants'). here is unstressed (neutral tone).
