Before I begin to tell you my story, you should know that I am employed by a wholesaler who sells adult diapers (among other things). Part of my job is to deliver adult diapers to local charities; health clinics and hospices, so it is normal for me to have a few packs of adult diapers in the back of my minivan.

My father owns a beautifully restored 1969 Chevrolet Camaro convertible and he loves it more than life itself. Somehow, a few weeks ago, my kid brother was able to talk our father into loaning him that muscle car icon for a Sunday afternoon. My little brother picked up his girlfriend and came over to our home and we all piled into our minivan for a local excursion. Unfortunately my kid brother left the top down on the Camaro and – you guessed it – while we were gone it rained a torrent. We returned to find the floor of the vehicle submerged in over 4 inches of water. Right about then my Dad called to say that he was coming over for dinner and that he would be arriving in ten minutes.

My brother started scooping water with one of my daughter’s little beach pails when I realized that I had something better: Adult Diapers! I opened up a pack that I had in the trunk of my car and immersed them one-by-one into the small lake at the bottom of the vehicle. Magic! For those of you who don’t know, disposable adult diapers are filled with a special polymer that can absorb up to thirty times its own weight in water. Seeing it in action is breath-taking. The rate of absorption is absolutely jaw-dropping. Eight adult diapers are all it took to soak up almost all that water. Paper towels took care of the last little bit and three different hair dryers operated by three different people finished it up nicely, just before Dad arrived. Dad is still none the wiser concerning this incident, I think.

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.
