Should I use the numeric ID or the full path?

Both are accepted, but the numeric ID 6949 is preferred because it is language-independent and less prone to errors during feed processing.

Can I use my own product_type for these items?

Yes, product_type is a free-form attribute for your internal classification and should be used alongside, not instead of, the google_product_category.

Does this category require size or gender attributes?

Understanding the Diaper Liners Category

The Diaper Liners category, identified by the numeric ID 6949, is part of the Baby & Toddler > Diapering taxonomy. This category is specifically reserved for products designed to be placed inside a cloth or disposable diaper to facilitate cleanup, protect the diaper fabric, or provide a stay-dry layer against the baby's skin.

Products Belonging in This Category

This category includes both disposable and reusable liners designed for hygiene and comfort. Based on examples from the US market, this includes products such as:

Flushable or biodegradable disposable liners made from bamboo viscose or cotton.
Reusable stay-dry liners made from microchamois, fleece, or polyester blends.
Natural fiber liners, including those crafted from silk or merino wool jersey.
Specialized overnight protection liners designed to supplement standard cloth diaper absorption.

Exclusions and Neighboring Categories

Do not use this category for products that function as the primary diaper or accessories for storage and disposal. Items that do not belong here include:

Diapers: Primary absorbent garments for babies.
Diaper Pails and Accessories: Systems used for disposing of or storing dirty diapers.
Baby Wipes and Dispensers: Products intended for cleaning skin rather than lining the diaper.
Changing Mats & Trays: Surfaces used to provide a clean area for changing.
Diaper Organizers: Storage solutions for supplies.

Implementation in Your Feed

You can populate the google_product_category attribute using the ID 6949 or the full string Baby & Toddler > Diapering > Diaper Liners. While the attribute is optional, providing it ensures more accurate classification, as Google's automated systems may otherwise assign a less precise category.
