I think that cloth diapers and rubber pants ( plastic pants didn't exist back then.)
were what were used back then
and some families may have made their own diapers, because I don't think that they were readily available for purchase by everone and if they were they porbably were expensive.
also that was in the days of out houses or chamber pots. no in door plumbing
so wearing diapers back then may have been more common then today.
