The bib consists of an elongated, substantially rectangular sheet, wherein a U-shaped cut out is contained along the upper edge of the sheet. The sheet is formed from a composite of three layers, wherein the layers are: a back thermoplastic film layer, a middle absorbent layer such as cellulosic wadding, and a front paper-like layer.
