Anyway the suggestion of towelling pads inside plastic/rubber pants sounds familiar, I think I once saw a posting from someone on an old newsgroup, saying that’s what their mother wore after being left urge incontinent by childbirth in the pre-disposables era. Towelling could probably be purchased in whatever size was required, and I guess combined with waterproof pants it would have covered a range of levels of incontinence without having to actually form a full pin-on nappy with it. I mean, most of us have probably tried the “towel inside a bin bag” makeshift nappy at some time or other!
I guess immobile patients would probably have often just been given bed pads (disposable or washable) rather than being actually fitted with a nappy?
I’ve always been fascinated by the history of incontinence and adult nappies, so any experiences/stories would be of interest.
