Diapers in Many Lanugages

Ok, simple. I know people here know/speak a number of languages and I'm sure if you look around you can find it in some more. Post a language and how diapers are called in that language. I'll start and take two easy ones:

English (American): Diaper
English (UK): Nappy

I'm still wondering why I prefer the American name to the Italian one.

dutch: luier

altho' many people in belgium refer to them as just 'pampers' with some accent, so it sounds like pàmpers :p
