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.

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.

It's you again, isn't it? It seems like two or three times a week I see questions on here that seem to be from exactly the same person, although the username is different every time. But your M.O. is still the same: brand new user, female avatar, and the questions are always posted in several categories on the topics of adult diapers, sanitary belts, and other female-oriented topics. Your writing style is pretty recognizable too. I shudder to think that you could be some guy who is getting his jollies off of this. It just strikes me that there's something fishy about the whole situation.

do you mean, using them for periods?
since there all already a BAZILLION disposable products for menstruation available, this smells to me like somebody from the marketing department in Kimberley Clark was told to increase sales of adult diapers.
So no, forget it! Try cloth, washable pads, as a back up to little folded toilet paper pads, and then go to the washroom lots. That's what I do. There's zero smell as I change it so much, no big leaks, and if a spot appears, I just wash the pad. And it doesn't end up in a landfill.
Apart from the initial cost of the pads, and the cost of TP, it is CHEAP. I can't believe how much those companies are sucking money out of people for disposables.

How Bizarre! I can't think of one 'advantage' you mention being worth countering all those years of patent training by my mother, but then I assume I am one of those who have never suffered from the 'week bladder' syndrome. It sounds to me like the 'Kimberly Clark' guy is trying to 'create' a market. There is no way that something designed to protect against embarrassment is going to withstand being intentionally voided into. that would be like using a mini pad to cover a severed artery.
Why not have one of us buy a package (or request a sample pack from Kimberly Clark) and actually try this. it would be interesting.

OMG!!
That is freakin' hilarous--no I've not heard of them but OMG!!
Well, I can see for camping or hiking when TP is at an all time low--I used to hike out in the mountains and remember hearing tips once that after peeing, to wear a lightdays pad and just pull up your pants and go--the pad will "soak" it up.
Ick, but in certain circumstances I can see it working as for just going in the pad while in public--I hope you have faith in your pad--I just don't see it though.

Why would you want to walk around with a pissy diaper on all day because you were too lazy to put toilet paper over the public restroom seat? Grow up.
