Summary
Eight disposable 'Snugglers' nappies in their original plastic packaging (4 are missing) (possibly 1980s). The nappies have elasticated legs and self adhesive tapes. The plastic packaging is pink and white with picture of a baby lying on its tummy and the wording 'Curity Snugglers' across the top. In a smaller rectangle is '12 Toddler, For Babies Over 3lbs, All In One Nappies'. Beneath this is 'Now With Elasticated Legs'. A small stick-on label reads 'M.S.Sandhu £1.70'. On the back of the bag are illustrated instructions on how the nappies should be used, and their construction. Both sides of the bag repeat 'Snugglers, Toddler, For Babies Over 3lbs, All In One Nappies'. The bag is opened and the handle torn. Total number of items is 9.
