Ladies: I just read in Good Housekeeping that a lot of women are using adult diapers for *convenience*.?

Question

It says that it's better for long trips, avoiding dirty public restrooms, long lines that make women miss shows, etc. It also has quotes from women (ages 20's and 30's) saying how dry they feel and quiet and the material is thin, no odor, no one knows, etc.

The author of the article quotes someone from Kimberly Clark (they make Depends) saying that about 5-10% of their customer service calls are from women like this. They have no incontinent problem at all.

Anyone heard of this? Any ladies using them? I'm now actually thinking about trying it.

Answer 1

Why not try it? On heavy days, pads can leak and cause accidents, an adult brief covers a larger area and would be more absorbent for those days.

As far as wearing them to concerts or shows or anywhere there is a large crowd and sparse restrooms, it makes sense.

It always seems unfair that there isn't any line for the men's restroom but the ladies room has a line snaked out into the lobby and around the corner as everyone takes their time going.

You miss half the show or game or whatever and if you are lucky, you don't wet yourself before you get to the ladies room.

Worse yet is traveling. I hate going into the restrooms at most rest stops, especially the smaller ones. It seems that no one ever cleans the stalls.

So many times I've gone in and the seats are dirty with urine spots. . . . or worse. Half the time the commodes are backed up and full of waste and toilet paper, I sure don't want to sit down on any of them.

Even worse is being caught between rest stops on a long deserted stretch of highway and having to go so bad my eyeballs are floating.

Wearing a wet diaper that is designed to pull the urine away from the body so you don't feel it is more palatable than trying to hold it and having my muscles hurt from doing so and having to wait until I find another dirty restroom.

It definitely is something I would do if the need arose. It just makes good common sense to do so. Why should I have to suffer for someone else not doing their job of cleaning the restroom or not providing enough stalls to accomodate the crowd?

The only thing I would suggest though is to buy a well fitting cloth diaper or two for this purpose rather than throwing disposables into our landfills.

Enjoy.

Answer 2

I personally know of no one who uses incontinence pants for convenience. Using them shouldn't be a problem as long as they are changed every 2 hours if wet or more frequently depending on the frequency of urination.

Answer 3

I've heard of teachers using these because they don't have time between classes to use the restroom. Other than that, I don't see why a normal person would want to sit in their own pee during concert or in a car traveling.

Sounds unhealthy to me.
