An S-cut side tape in a diaper refers to a special design of the side tape used to secure the diaper around a baby’s waist. The term "S-cut" specifically refers to the shape of the tape, which is cut in the form of the letter "S" or a similar curved pattern. This design helps improve the fit, flexibility, and functionality of the diaper's fastening system, particularly in the areas of adjustability, comfort, and leak prevention.
