Well, if they are made of cotton, you could try washing them at high temperatures a couple of times.

The first one I have any distinct memory of, as in that I can picture the exact time and place that I watched it, was Thundercats. I have a vague sense of having watched Tom & Jerry and old Disney cartoons before that, but nothing I can pin down.

Erm... swim diapers are not intended to keep your urine contained. They have only ever been designed to contain faeces. Urine is not a significant vector for bacteria, so it is well within the ability of chlorine or ozone sterilisation to handle. Faeces, on the other hand, are a definite risk...

- - - Updated - - - "Poof" or "Poofter" is a derogatory British/Australian slang term for a Homosexual male. Turned up quite often on Monty Python - i.e. "Fairy! Poof's not good enough for Algy, is it? He's got to be a bleedin' fairy. Mincing old RAF queen!"

Some are height-adjustable, either electrically or manually. The one in my local shopping centre also has an electrically powered hoist on a powered rail mounted on the ceiling. http://www.changing-places.org/Default.aspx

NASA should have a word with JAXA. They were reputed to be developing this a few years ago. It's not as hard as you might think. If the scenario is extremely extended spacesuit use, then the easiest thing to do is simply to provide extremely low-residue food to the astronaut while they are...

I would imagine that there are few people under the age of 40 who haven't, simply because they are by far the easiest form of padding for someone with a limited income and little privacy - i.e. a teenager living at home - to obtain. For people currently over the age of 40, who would have been...

Because goodnites are intended to deal with minor nocturnal leakage rather than large gushes, they don't need to wick particularly well. They also need to lock the wetness away, so as not to disrupt the wearer's sleep. Because they are intended to be discrete, they need to be relatively thin...

How small a waist are we talking about? Space/Little Pawz/Simple are definitely thicker than Tykables, and the medium goes down to 28".

Have a look at these. They're not perfectly toddler-ish, but some of them get pretty close, and the size 16 goes as large as 5ft 9".

Pretty much the whole Zelda series. I adored Link to the Past, was absolutely consumed by Occarina of Time, and spent far too much time playing Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.

It's available in black as well...

Tena Maxi Active Fit. You can get them for about £0.67 per when ordering in bulk. Try Nappies 'R Us. TBH, I have to ask why you're wearing the premium ones to bed. You'd need to be an astonishingly heavy wetter to saturate an ABU Space or equivalent overnight, assuming it was dry when you went...

The most I've ever paid was £2.60 per nappy including shipping, for a 10-pack of ABU Space, back when they first came to the UK. Though that was because I foolishly didn't claim the VAT exemption. I'm prepared to pay up to £3 per nappy for samples, but for regular use, £1.50 at most. In...

If you attributed to malice everything that is merely caused by incompetence and inattention, you'd pretty much have to conclude that you were living in Hell. Though I've always found it interesting just how many people would rather believe that the state of the world is the deliberate design of...
