i call them poop catchers!

they're the little extra bit of fabric in the leg area of diaper covers.  just helps hold in any leaks.  they're awesome.

Thirsties covers are a great example of a cover that has leg gussets.  Link.  If you look on the inside of where the leg opening is, you notice an extra, smaller bit of fabric & elastic that actually sits against the baby's leg.  It makes for a better fit, and lets that area kind of have a bit more room to adjust with baby's kicking/crawling/walking to prevent leaks (at least that's my take on it).
