EN: to use as a diaper
This is a more specific, and rarer, verb. While 'lampinan' is putting a diaper *on* someone, 'lampinin' is using something *as* a diaper. In the old days, 'Telang koton ang madalas lampinin sa mga sanggol.' You probably won't hear this in a conversation about Pampers, but you might hear it in a historical drama or a province.
From 'lampin' (diaper) + '-in' suffix.
Less common than 'lampinan'. Refers to the object being used as a diaper, rather than the person wearing it.
