Japan's diaper makers look to adult market for revenue as births fall

Tokyo - A large metal arm in a Japanese factory swept a cluster of fluffy white
fabric rectangles off a carousel into a group to be wrapped in plastic before
packaging for shipment.

The items were adult diapers being turned out by automated production lines
that stretch for 80 m (262 ft) at a facility run by Daio Paper in the
Fujinomiya region, near the tourist landmark, Mount Fuji.

Factory overseer Naoto Sugaya said output has grown year on year, as he held a
pair of the "paper pants" close to his thigh and explained their features.
