In response to my diaper inquiry, I received this response via email. I would never embarrass the writer by revealing her identity to the world, but this may or may not have been sent by my smarty-pants birth mother. I thought it was pretty funny.

Dear Mrs. *****,

I applaud your desire to find the perfect no leak diaper. I too have searched and my quest has led me to Depends....very few leaks, unless of course there is a full night of beer guzzling...very few blowouts, except for one unexpected "bomb-blast" at Juan's Burrito Bunker.

There are one or two problems, as there is with any good diaper - namely, the rustling sounds when standing for prayer in church. This noise can usually be covered with a well placed sneeze or cough. Another down side is undependable tab adhesive. However, with a little practice, it is simple to carry unused holiday stickers for emergency stick-ups.

So far, for ladies such as myself, the most inconvenient disadvantage is the inability to properly don a trendy thong. and as we all know, there are so many choices these days.

I hope these suggestions are helpful. Write when you find some time.
Love you

Disclaimer: My birth mother is not a beer guzzler, nor does she wear Depends (at least I don't think she does- I guess I've never really checked, though...). I believe she does wear thongs. She makes them herself out of duct-tape. I have no personal knowledge of what took place following her visit to the Burrito Bunker.

And... Yes, I will write when I find some time. Soon. Very soon.
