Using slit-bottom pants called kaidangku, Chinese children have traditionally used very few diapers. Instead, theyre encouraged from as early as a few days old to release when theyre held over a toilet. And when theyre out in public, they often wear kaidangku, which allows them the freedom to do what they need to do in a tree box, on the sidewalk, or while theyre being held over a trash can.
Made sense to me? But sounds like last decade or so now they are using some diapers and at the same time some westerners are adopting to the holes in clothes of old China ways
