Nappies as in diapers?
Yes. After all Diaper or if more then 1 diapers are The American Words for them. We british call them Nappy or if more then 1 Nappies

What did ancient people use as nappies?
Ancient diapers consisted of peat moss and grasses placed into animal skins and cloth to absorb urine. In Japan, parents used old kimonos that were fashioned into diapers, and in China, young children had slits made in their underpants and shorts to allow them to go as needed
In Europe in the Middle Ages, babies were swaddled in long, narrow bands of linen, hemp, or wool. The groin was sometimes left unwrapped so that absorbent "buttock clothes" of flannel or linen could be tucked underneath.
* Hiring a babyssiter was cheaper than using magic item. Other option could be casting some cantrip.

Why would you need them to be magical? They’ve existed since ancient times, just made with different materials.

Would Prestidigitation exist in D&D? I don't know.
Because I was thinking that the nobility and royalty would use the magical 1's as, in their opinion, yet another way of proving that they are superior to commoners and commoners would use normal 1's

Ok, I can see that. What would the magic do? Just make them extra-absorbent?
The obvious thing that the magic would do would be to prevent nappy rash. So probably extra absorbency and the layer next to the skin stays dry.
Did I forget to mention that I wanted ideas for what the magic would actually do?. Sorry

Yeah, was gonna say exactly this, just a permanent prestidigitation spell to clean them.

The old diaper of devouring trick.
Just be sure to check on the baby now and then so it doesn't accidentally get disappeared along with the poo.
