That would be 3.6 billion, not trillion. The actual estimate annually is 28 billion disposable diapers annually, plus what ever number of cloth diapers used.

3.6 trillion--per US Statistics about 4 millions babies are born per year and each child uses on average about 8-10 diapers per day, so in any given month of the year we will have about 12 millions children arranging from birth to 3 years old (potty training age) and if each child uses about 10 diapers per day is about 120,000,000 per day and average 30 days per month totals about 3,600,000,000
