The design of "pull-ups" really impress me.

At the resthome, we call adult diapers "pull-ups," for dignity's sake.

In any case, whatever you call them, their design impresses the heck out of me, like to the point where the person who designed that design should get a Nobel Prize or something, they made such a big contribution to humanity.

Anyways, they may not look like much when you just look at them, but they're very very carefully crafted around the legs, so that the frilly apparently decorative edges of the fabric fold in, and that way if someone accidentally shits, all the shit juice and the clumps are more likely than not to stay in the diaper as it soaks everything up and gets weighed down, and nothing really falls out onto the pants.

That kind of accident has happened several times while I've been working, and each time the amount of shit that's been in the diaper and didn't fall out and get onto anything has really been impressive.

The trick afterwards, I discovered, is to very very carefully tear up the leg hems and take off the diaper, and then to pull it back over the toilet, so that any drips or clumps fall down into there and they don't get onto the rim or onto the floor or even onto the pants that had been protected.

"Live and learn."
