I just arrived home from work and was taking off my wet diaper when the phone rang. I heard a work colleauge (and good friend) talking into the answering machine, asking if I wanted to go to dinner. I picked up the phone and said yes, only to be told that she and her husband were already pulling up in their car. They were at the door in seconds!

For myself, I never think of the products as briefs. They are clearly adult-sized diapers, and a large majority of incontinence supprt group/forum contributors refer to them as diapers.   So why the "briefs" label? I assume it is to reduce the stigma for product users, as if store clerks and other... http://www.healthcentral.com/incontinence/c/4397/25989/incontinence http://www.healthcentral.com/incontinence/c/4397/17450/definition Fri, 07 Dec 2007 13:15:00 -0000 Craig Clark Reading various posts and discussions about incontinence, it seems that people with bladder control problems define incontinence in different ways. Some people mention their incontinence, yet only need modest protection during long time intervals without bathroom breaks.  I fell into a 2nd group, since I somehow didn't consider myself "fully" incontinent, yet have to wear diapers nearly full time. I only recently realized my... http://www.healthcentral.com/incontinence/c/4397/17450/definition
