Statistically, us girls greatly outnumber men when it comes to incontinence, as well as other people’s perception of us being directly related to self-esteem. With that in mind, why isn’t there a reliable incontinence product made just for women? When I didn’t have a need for absorbent underwear, my panty drawer was beaming with light, sexy boyshorts, lacy thongs, low rise bikinis, all the colors of the pastel rainbow. A pair of cute panties makes a girl feel special, pretty, elegant and sexy all rolled up in a in a little cotton and lace.
Panties become an arbitrary act for the incontinent woman, I threw all mine out when I knew that I wouldn’t ever be able to wear them against my skin without fear of wetting myself. I even wore them under my diapers for a while because the diapers felt scratchy and strange to me in the beginning, but after getting a bad rash I figured that was silly (oh, the things we do to make ourselves feel comfortable).
The solution to this problem is a diaper made by women, for women. Yes, many women solve their problems with pads, but there’s nothing made for the active woman who needs 24/7 protection. We need something with color, a low-rise fit, and leg gathers that you can trust. I hope to make this a forum for exchanging ideas on what your ideal diaper would be, and hopefully this knowledge will prove useful for diaper manufacturers. Someday we’ll be able to overcome all the shame of incontinence, and that starts with finding the best way to manage it! --Sadie--




I wish that one of these companies would make a pullup that is thick and 100% waterproof with plastic backing.
I also have been looking for 100% waterproof underwear that puts ordinary underwear cotton on the outside,and inside and a waterproof layer of plastic in the middle.

I would think that a perfect diaper would have to solve the issue with tapes and being able to withstand the abuse. They would also have to make a diaper last longer and more bulk the better

the only problem is having them be effective in addition to the features that you posted. Poise and Tena are trying but they are not as effective as a diaper.

Personally, I'm happy with regular diapers (Attends, anyway - Depends are too damned thin) and adding a stuffer in times of need. Maybe a pair of plastic pants over the diaper, provided said plastic pants don't cut into my thighs like the last pair I had. But I don't wear 24/7, so... *shrug*

Hey Sadie!
I love this post! You are so right and I am looking forward to hearing what others think about this... men included. I have had some ideas about nicer womens and mens incontinence wear myself in the recent past. I have a couple of irons in the fire with regard to creative non-disposable undergarments. More to come soon!
Best,
Robin
