I used to live in Chesterfield. Nice town.
 
Interesting that the Peaudouce are called baby slips when our nappies are often referred to as slips. E.g. Tena slip, Molicare slip maxi, ID slip.
 
Why do they call them Slips?
 
Because they’re for when your bladder has a little slip-up ;)

The word “slip” has been adopted to mean underwear (typically brief-style) in a lot of European languages. Presumably that’s how “incontinence slip” became a euphemism for an adult nappy.

A higher resolution copy of the famous Peaudouce Childsize advert making it clear that these nappies are for children up to 5 years old.
