Basically vintage disposables/ packaging.

Here’s one to get us started.

This one is actually rebranded Tena Slip XS, and further proof than Peaudouce = Tena.

These Peaudouce Juniors would be my first-call youth diapers for sure. Sadly there was a lack demand for these puppies on the Greek market at the time.

It has been locked because it contained pictures with underage minors which is a violation of the Community Guidelines.

Only from vintage adverts and packaging.

I didn’t know that posting vintage adverts and packaging amounted to such a violation.

If that is a violation, perhaps the thread itself should be removed altogether rather than just locked?

Better asking @KitsuneFox and @Moo for the reasons which forced them to lock the topic.

Remember, they deleted @PurpleScorpion's thread about TV commercials for that same reason.

After all, it's a good occasion to start a brand-new thread with more treasured gems from the past.

From now on I’ll block out any image of a wearer from packaging or adverts just as I have when finding nappies in vintage stock images.

I still have some Certina Slip diapers from the 80's or 90's at home - they do not really absorb a lot, make funny crincling and feel wet to the skyn ... there are much better diapers today, but they offer me a nostalgie, because these were the first adult diapers i bouht back als a teenager (was about 16)...

Oh wow! The padding goes right into the wings and they are only one-fold!

Imagine getting this padding arrangement with modern absorbency. That would be delightful!

I would lean towards the pictures taking up too much space on the server or links causing an issue. If the pics were the reason the thread would have been deleted immediately like others have.

Don't count on an answer from them. They don't seem to like answering questions about why threads get locked.

Those are my absolute faves as well. Huggies should go back to this design. They were absolutely amazing at absorbing, wicking and leak protection.

The crop function in any image editing app can sometimes be good for this. Even Microsoft Paint on Windows 10 and below and Preview on macOS have this. For Windows 11 and Linux users the free open source Gimp (GNU Image Processing (or maybe processor?)) app can also be good for cropping out parts of images.

@patrick1776 ahhh those remind me of the good old days of 98, 99 and very beginning of 2000, I would ride my bike to the local food store and buy either pampers baby dry size 6 or the luvs size 6, I distinctly remember the Luvs having a more lotion / perfume smell to them that would stick to my skin, especially when it was warmer weather. I so lucky to have become a DL back then (although very young) and be able to wear those diapers almost anytime I wanted to.
My only slight complaint is the both brands after 97 became really thin with loosing pulp and turning more to a sap based diaper, not that im complaining to much, it just wasnt as thick as the pampers stretch of 95-97, but I digress, should just be happy that I lived in a time of diaper gold before everything was changed to cloth like cover then refined for cost cutting.

From what I currently remember I only wore a Huggies once back in the early 1980s at age five-and-a-half during my time in preschool. These were not great by today’s standards (I still felt wet after using it, but unlike the Pampers of that time they didn’t leak when I wet in my car seat). Back at this time they had leak guards but they weren’t using super absorbent polymers (SAP) yet (just paper and plastic). A part of me still sometimes wishes that they had these in adult sizes for nostalgia. It would have been good to have more than one memory of a disposable that actually works as it is supposed to.
