Pier 3 Condo

First, you need to know: I work for a company that sells adult diapers so it’s not surprising that I have easy access to these products. I’ve always got several packs of big diapers in my house and often I have some in the trunk of my car; our company donates materials to local free medical clinics and shelters and I’m always taking diapers to somewhere.

This story begins a few months ago when my kid brother left our father’s beloved ’69 Chevy Camaro convertible in our driveway with the top down. And of course, it poured rain while all of us were on a little Sunday sightseeing drive together. Rain in the southeast can be quite dramatic: you have to experience it to believe it. When we returned from our outing we all gasped in horror at the 4 inches of water that had collected inside Dad’s pristine sports car. Worse, our father was due to arrive at our house in 10 minutes. We had to get this cleaned up fast or my brother might need the witness protection act to escape from his single act of innocent neglect.

My brother was panicking; literally shaking as he started scooping water with a tiny little pail he found in my daughter’s toy box. I looked at all that water and it took me 30 seconds or so, but my mind finally made the connection that it should have made right away: Adult Diapers. I retrieved a pack from our minivan. Everyone grabbed two or three and started immersing those puppies in the water. Adult Diapers have a special compound in them that can absorb up to thirty times their own weight in fluid. It worked like gangbusters. If you have never seen how much water an adult diaper can absorb and how quickly it can do the absorbing, then you simply do not know what an astonishing modern miracle these things are. Eight adult diapers soaked up almost all that water in about 40 seconds! A few paper towels got the remaining drops that were left and we all got our hair dryers out and finished up just before Dad arrived in his other vehicle – an old pickup.

If you own a convertible, take a lesson from my family’s experience and keep your top up when traveling in the southern U.S. And if you are the type that likes to plan for contingencies, keep a few adult diapers tucked into a small dry space somewhere in your vehicle. If your woman finds these panties in your glove compartment, she might ask some embarrassing questions, but chances are, she won’t walk away in a huff.
