(North America) A type of cloth diaper, secured with snaps or velcro, that consists of a waterproof inner and outer layer sewn together, creating a pocket, which is stuffed with absorbent insert material based on a baby's absorbency needs.

Made famous by Fuzzi Bunz, the pocket diaper is an all-in-one with a pocket sewn into the lining. You can then customise the diaper for more absorbency by adding an insert or a prefolded diaper.
Origin: Originally a brand name from FuzziBunz, a cloth diaper and baby product manufacturer, for the pocket diaper which was invented c.1999 by Tereson Dupuy, but first attested by at least 14 September 2003 and seemingly never trademarked.
