Vintage incontinence pants adverts

Remember the days before the Internet, when there were lots of adverts in newspapers and magazines with interesting graphics of protective waterproof pants for adults - often in a very babyish style with interesting copy saying how no-one would hear them rustle etc. I used to spend hours as a teenager looking for these ads and some were special favourites. Anyone got any cuttings of these vintage ads? Perhaps we should preserve them on this site for posterity

On line go to My Protex site from Texas. They have a museum of old advertisements for bed wetting and adult baby products.

Thanks Djc, a fascinating site but I couldnt find the link to the museum/vintage ads. Would you mind giving me a little more guidance?

I'm also loking for vintage tv commercials featuring Flushabyes and The first Pampers and Luvs commercials that showed plastic pants and cmparing cloth diapers to disposables. I loved seeing the plastic panties bieng pulled on or off depending on the ad

I've been trying to search some out as well through vintage Sears & JC Penny catalogs. I remember as a kid seeing diapers for sale in them--first time I ever learned the word "incontinence".

Collecting vintage advertisements sounds like a good idea. The collecting could be started in Forum/Images and later we could add a suitable album for that purpose in the Gallery.

Was on their home page but I have not been there in a while. Sure like Webmasters idea for our own site/ collection.

Yes, agree. Just got to search them out. I was wondering if there were any free online newspaper collections that could be scanned for them

I remember looking at all the diapers and rubber pants in the Catalogs as a kid.

I remember looking at the Adult Diaper section of the Sears Catalog, every year it seemed to expand. I looked at it so much when I was 14 that the catalog would fall open to the page when you flipped through it. One day I walked into my parents room and my Mom was looking at the page. My hope was that she would order some of the diapers and plastic pants as I continued to struggle with bedwetting but she never brought up the subject. I eventually ordered some diapers and plastic pants when I was 18, I remember that the diapers were disappointing but the lined plastic pants were great.

Unfortunately I did not keep any of these catalogs but would also be interested in seeing them again.

I remember the STAY-DRI ads with that kid that looked like he was doped up. I reckon I'd have to be. Also there was PI-PEER Dri Pants, they looked pretty cool. There were probably half a dozen or so other products that looked really neat that I remember seeing in the usual places in those women's magazines. A couple products were a little interesting. "Does your husband have a problem wetting the bed?" Who knows what's up with that.

I would have loved to get my hands on any of that stuff, but wetting the bed on purpose was out of the question. My parents would have hauled my ass off to the doctors in a hot second.

Have a look at my album page. Right now, it's mostly vintage Sears catalogs, but good stuff, including some adult/youth incontinent stuff.

You are welcome Lovejoy. It’s a pleasure to be able to share the pictures, and conversations.

You all ever wonder if all of us could have been unconstrained by our parents problems?

I think I would have straightened out if I wore diapers for a couple years.

Roger that buddy. I remember an ad like "Does your husband wet the bed?" "Try blah rubber pants!" All I could think of was "OH, I gotta get me some of those." (I meant the pants.)

If you're gay and also into diapers it's like you're screwed over twice. Like you are a super pervert.

Keep the faith.

I remember in late 1990's a catalogue came through the door called Perfectly Happy People. I think they sold washable baby nappies (shaped / all-in-ones rather than traditional terry squares), also incontinence pads. I think they had a good selection of pads from the sticky-backed ones to go in womens panties through the big ones to go in net pants right up to full 'nappies'

This was when I was living at my parents house though and I would have liked to hide it for my own collection but the sudden disappearance might have been noticed, it probably got thrown out soon after anyway - boo!

I loved those old ads. If I ended up at a place where there were women's magazines Id go right to them. Doctors offices, dentist and family get togethers were a great place to find them. Trying to look bored,I went straight to the ad section in the back to see the bedwetter supplies. Usually there were big letters spelling BEDWETTER and a photo of plastic pants or diapers disguised as something that wasn't a diaper. That was always a fail, lol. I always saw them as diapers. I'd get the shivers when I found the ads. I would instantly imagine myself being forced to lay down and be made to wear them for a problem of bedwetting due to laziness. A stern lecture going on during the diapering. Naturally dad would be there with his belt to enforce the diaper sentence while mom diapered me. I had to be careful to show no emotion while viewing the ads with mom and my sisters right there with me. (probably blew that though)

The other ad that always got me was in a free local news paper. The was a good sized photo of assorted plastic pants for teens and adults. The ad had a banner that read "For Bedwetters and Incontinence" ( I actually got the dictionary out to find out what "incontinence" was, but that's another story). The ad was there every week. I dreamt of going to the pharmacy selling them as it was within a bike ride of where I lived. But I couldn't get up the nerve to actually go there. I imagined being identified as a little perve and held there till my parents came for me. GOD! what a mess that would be. Of course back then you thought you were the only diaper lover on earth and would probably be thrown in jail when you tried to buy plastic pants. What a shame, I could have been in diaper heaven for years if things were a bit different.

If I knew then what I know now, I'd just walk in to the store and confess that I was a bedwetter and that Mom made me come in and buy a few pairs for my lack of control. The folks back then would no doubt see me as a youngster that deserved a good old fashioned dose of diaper punishment. So the immense embarrassment would be seen as quite normal for a situation like that. Maybe an older lady that would ad her own dose of shame. She'd spend a considerable amount of time picking out the perfect size while making a big enough scene as to attract attention of other customers. ….serves the little pee pants right! Now there's a mom that knows how to handle her kid...

I was at the tail end of the era of the huge Sears and JC Penny catalogs but i do definitely remember flipping eagerly to the health and beauty section (passing even the toys section!) to stare at the pictures of reusable incontinence products.

Another source of fascination was the coupons in the Sunday paper which sometimes would have a coupon for Depend products.

Last but not least and probably not as universal an experience as the Sears catalog was the Bruce Medical Supply catalog that would arrive at my childhood home a few times a year. Often i would have to retrieve it from the trash, but oh so worth it! Did anyone else enjoy specialty medical supply catalogs in their formative fetish years?

I was recently looking through the Chicago Tribune online archive at my birthday paper, and found an ad for incontinence products. Nothing exciting, but a fun find.

Being older myself, I can identify with all of you who replied to this topic. Catalogs and the back pages of Good Housekeeping was all I had to satisfy my "needs". Once, I got up the nerve to buy plastic pants and I took a bus to a medical supply store on the other side of town where nobody would know me. I made myself a fake note that was supposedly "written by my mom to buy a pair of adult plastic pants for an incontinent relative". Boy, was I nervous when I handed it to the lady at the counter. Thinking back now, she probably knew something was up because who buys only one pair? Usually you stock up if you shop. I couldn't wait to get home and get into them, it was a long ride home! I love it now with internet shopping, I can order what I want and it comes to my door in days. Waiting for that delivery now is as exciting as that "bus ride home"!
