A contour nappy is also called a shaped nappy. This tends to be a flat nappy that has been shaped to fit more snugly then a flat nappy. These tend to be laid inside a waterproof wrap, or fastened with pins or a snappi. They can also be used as a booster or additional soaker inside another nappy.
A line connecting points of equal value. Often in reference to a horizontal datum such as mean sea level.
An imaginary line joining points of equal elevation.
While the outline of a form is simply a line that follows the outer silhouette of the form, the contour lines include lines inside the edges of the form, suggesting a three-dimensional quality.
A Lion Match Co. trademark for standard size matchcovers (20-stick) that were custom die-cut to the shape of the advertised product. The name Lion Contour Match appeared on the inside matchcover. The manumark on early issues also uses the word Contour. These were top-of-the-line as far as expense and design were concerned. Over 1150 varieties are known and collected. They were introduced in 1951 to compete with the Jewelite designs from Universal Match Corp., and discontinued in 1991. (See Jewelites).
Outline that defines a shape or form.
Defined line of equal elevation on a map or plat.
the line that separates one area from another. You can think of contours as ALL the edges; the ones I call the "outside edges” of an object along with the additional edges you see within that shape or object. (Drawing Lesson 17)

A line that connects geometry points which have the same data value. In two dimensions this is an isoline and in three dimensions this is an isosurface.
the shape and lines of something or shaped to fit something, especially the shape of somebody's body.
An imaginary line along the side of a slope that connects points of the same elevation.
The edge of a mass or shape or group of masses or shapes.
A contour is a set of points which all have equal elevation. A "contour line" is an actual line which is drawn on a map. This depends on the "contour interval" for the map. However in topographic discussions, we can talk about any possible contour, not just the ones that are pre-drawn on the map. For example, on a map with a 100m contour interval, we can still discuss the 95 m contour.

An imaginary line of constant elevation on the ground surface. The corresponding line on a map is called a "contour line."
The outline of a figure, body, or surface.
An line of constant elevation, usually as depicted on a topographic map (see).
within a document space, the boundary of a region containing documents to be retrieved.
The name given to a single outline of a TrueType font. The letter 'O' has two contours.

A contour is a line on a topographic map that represents locations that have the same altitude.
Imaginary line on ground, all points of which are at the same elevation above or below a specific datum.
an imaginary line, every point of which is the same elevation above the datum or bench mark
A line connecting points on a land surface having the same elevation or precipitation.
A line that creates a boundary separating an area of space or object from the space around it.
The outside/inside edge of a form.
A line of equal elevation, the most common method for showing topographic information on a map.
An imaginary line on the ground, all points of which are at the same elevation
A line projected onto the land surface such that every point on it lies at the same elevation
An imaginary line on the surface of the earth or a line on a map connecting points of the same elevation.
That portion of the outline of a transverse cross-section of an extruded profile that is represented by a curved line or curved lines.
The outline or bounding lines of an image, figure or shape.
a line on a topographic map that connects points of equal elevation.
A line drawn on a map to join places of the same height above sea-level.
An imaginary line connecting points on the land surface or sea floor of the same elevation or depth respectively.
An imaginary line on the surface of the earth connecting points of the same elevation, or such a line drawn on a map.

A theoretical line tangent to the earth's surface at a known elevation. Also, a line “locating” this elevation on a map or plan.
An imaginary line that connects all points on a surface having the same elevation.
On a map a line that joins places of equal height above sea level. On a given map, contour lines are normally at specific increments, such as 25 m or 40 m, depending on the scale and the terrain.
An imaginary line on the surface of the ground at the same height above mean sea level throughout its length. Contour lines are drawn on maps to show the shape of the ground. Control Point. A point fixed during the initial survey of an area of ground; marked on Ordnance Survey maps by a small triangle, with the height.

The edge or apparent line that separates one area or mass from another; a line following a surface drawn to suggest volume.
( Line) Line on a topographic map that connects all points with the same elevation.
A closed shape, part of an *outline. In most fonts, the letters S, i and B have one, two and three contours respectively. In TrueType, black (solid) contours are defined by clockwise control points, white contours (holes) are defined anti-clockwise. Note that while this is the reverse of PostScript fonts, many people are used to the clockwise black outlines presented by *Fontographer.
A line connecting points of equal surface value.
Generally, an outline or configuration of a body or surface. Often, the term is used for one of a set of lines (contour lines) drawn to represent the configuration of a surface; this is the case in meteorology, where a contour usually refers to a contour line of constant height on a constant-pressure surface. Sometimes, the term is more loosely used in the general sense of an isopleth. Compare profile.
The shape of the surface of land.
