a front panel, said front panel being oriented substantially vertical, said front panel having an outward-facing surface and an inward-facing surface, said outward-facing surface being positioned away from the disposable diaper product, said outward-facing surface being of sufficient size to accommodate communication being placed thereon, said inward-facing surface being positioned towards the disposable diaper product; said front panel having a top end and a bottom end;

a bottom panel, said bottom panel being oriented substantially horizontal, said bottom panel having an downward-facing surface and an upward-facing surface, said upward-facing surface being positioned towards the disposable diaper product, said upward-facing surface being of sufficient rigidity to provide substantial support of the disposable diaper product, said downward-facing surface being positioned away from the disposable diaper product, said bottom panel having a front end and a rear end, said front end being joined to said bottom end of said front panel;

a rear panel, said rear panel being oriented substantially vertical, said rear panel having an outward-facing surface and an inward-facing surface, said outward-facing surface being positioned away from the disposable diaper product, said inward-facing surface being positioned towards the disposable diaper product, said rear panel having a top end and a bottom end, said bottom end being joined to said rear end of said bottom panel; and

at least one standoff, wherein the standoff supports the bottom panel such that at least a portion of the downward facing surface of the bottom panel is lifted vertically up off of a planar shelf surface on which the stabilizer is standing.

2. The stabilizer of claim 1 further comprising an additional standoff, said standoff being joined to said bottom panel.

3. The stabilizer of claim 1 wherein said front panel has a non-uniform height.

4. The stabilizer of claim 1 wherein said front panel is substantially symmetrical about a centrally-located vertical axis.

5. The stabilizer of claim 1 wherein said front panel is substantially asymmetrical about a centrally-located vertical axis.

6. The stabilizer of claim 1 , wherein the disposable diaper product includes a plurality of individual disposable diapers.

7. The stabilizer of claim 1 , wherein an overall vertical height of the stabilizer is at least about one fifth of an overall vertical height of the disposable diaper product.

8. The stabilizer of claim 1 , wherein the standoff includes a folded portion of an outer edge of the bottom panel.

9. The stabilizer of claim 1 , wherein an overall width of the standoff is about equal to an overall width of the stabilizer.

10. The stabilizer of claim 1 , wherein the standoff has an overall height between 6 and 20 millimeters.

11. The stabilizer of claim 1 , wherein the disposable diaper product is configured as a dual stack.

12. The stabilizer of claim 1 , wherein the disposable diaper product is configured as a horizontal dual stack of disposable diapers.
