Just wondering what everyone remembers about how they found out that adult nappies/diapers existed and some people needed to wear them? Was it in the media, e.g. advertising or someone just mentioning them, through seeing products on shelves, or from having a family member etc. who wore them?
Personally I think it was a gradual thing, there was a girl at my primary school who wore nappies so I knew quite early on that not everyone was able to potty train at the “normal” time, so thought there probably were people who wore them into adulthood. Then I remember a teacher telling us about how the human body worked explaining incontinence, and that people who had it wore special underwear, which I assumed was essentially big nappies. Eventually in early teens I saw Boots Staydry products on the shelves.
