A diaper has a pocket on the inside back panel for placement of the installers hand, creating a controlled mitten effect, that allows the installer to easily slide the diaper underneath a babys bottom and into an optimal position for installation, while the installer simultaneously holds the babys legs with the other hand to lift the babys bottom above the changing table surface. The pocket provides a barrier between the baby and the installers hand to protect the babys skin from the installers fingernails, rings, or rough hands. The pocket further serves as a means for securing a soiled diaper, which can be rolled up and folded into the pocket, allowing for easy disposal of the soiled diaper.
