1965 - Issued patent for disposable diapers "Pampers". The author of one of the most useful inventions in history is Victor Mills - chemist, who worked in the «Procter & amp; Gamble».

The developers took into account the lack of design and the next batch, released in 1959, it has gathered positive reviews. Thus began the era of disposable diapers.
