EN: diaper, swaddling cloth
Before Pampers became the generic term, this was it. It's the OG baby wrapper. Think of those white cloth diapers your lola used to wash by hand, held together by a safety pin. It’s the retro, eco-friendly (kinda) version of a modern diaper.
From "pa-" (prefix, often for tools/devices) + "lampin" (diaper/cloth).
This term is becoming less common in urban areas, where 'diaper' is more prevalent. It often refers specifically to cloth diapers.
