They Had Cloth Backed Fanfold Pampers with Leg Cuffs in 1983!?

i was just watching dax tubes video on them opening up a vintage pack of pampers from 1983

not only did it feature the packaging from the 90s (which is rare and probably the first instance of this iconic packaging)

but it was also a fanfold pampers with not just leg gussets but also cloth backing as well

(this must have been a transition era pampers where they were transitioning from fanfold to the more of the iconic bloomer trim that modern diapers have now)

but its still weird how they had cloth backing as far back as the early 80s (as well as the pampers logo from the 90s)

which means they were probably using the 90s pampers logo and design in urban areas with the p&g plants with the newer machines and the 70s pampers design and logo in more rural areas that still had the p&g plants with the older machines)

this was before luvs became a budget brand after all

still pretty strange though

heres a link to the video for those wondering

Someone mistyped. This is Pampers from the 90’s. First, Pampers in 1983 were in a box not a package. 2nd, Pampers in 1983 were 2-3 times thicker than what is shown. The reason these seem fan fold is because they are for a preemie or new born. The diaper is so small they can’t make it hourglass shape like they do for larger sizes. 1983 Pampers also had different designs on the packaging. If you look closely, you will see these are designed for hospital use. when someone has a baby, the hospital often sends them home with a package or two of diapers. My guess is that some had a very small baby and was sent home with these and they were never used. There is also some foreign writing on the package so more than likely they are not from the country of the person who posted the video. I can say without doubt, these are not from 1983…..my guess is 1996/97 at the earliest.

Think the creator of the video made a typo in the title of the video.
