An Open Letter to the makers of Depends.

aint that the truth!! I have seen my hubby sway and wink but its because he cant stand and walk right any more. the depends now come in grey and also prints?? for what? for who? peeing and pooping in your pants and then take them off to have sex with someone? I dont think so!! get real, put them on poop pee in them take them off throw them in the trash bag ohhhhhh so SEXY....oh I feel so aroused!!

ha ha ha la la la Ain't it the truth!
OMG! What are they thinking?

a skit on saturday night live they called them "oops, i crapped my pants" o.O

LOL...I have thought the same thing about those commercials..."yeah baby, I want to cuddle with you"....ewwwww.....give me a break! The only thing I think of when I see "depends" or even hear the phrase, "that depends" is my mother screaming because I want to change and wipe her. I am accused of trying to kill her...when's it going to end....I guess that depends! LOL Have a great day everyone...it is Labor Day but we all know that dementia takes no holiday.

I mean really!!!

You have health and activity issues and you want to be discrete.... but flirting in yer pee pants come on, please stop!

When someone asks me how my job is going, I love to answer "Depends." That's because I am, in fact, hilarious to myself. Yeah - nothin' sexy about these things HOWEVER - I will say that some tend to allow the person to wear more normal clothing than others. I think Tena is great. They show women in a Yoga class, etc, and not sexy mamas dancing. but the underwear feel really soft and siky (I haven't worn them, tho) Had a client yesterday tell me I was putting hers on backwards. She showed me the thick lining and said "This is for your butt". (She has Dementia) I said "Well, the little blue stripes are at the back, as I believe they should be, but if they feel wrong when you stand up, we'll switch 'em. Memory being what it isn't, for her, she never thought of it again... So how was HER day? Depends...

I am sure I will be wearing them soon...I am 40 and incontinence really has been a life long thing it seems like part of life now.may as well suck it up eh....Kegels are not doing it here!

Sexier than "hash marks". HA!

Anyone watch Greys Anatomy? I used to . . .anyway there was a hilarious segment where the lady doctors had tro be in an 18 hour surgery, so they donned diapers so they could get through it - those skinny little women went swishing down the hall in their scrubs with their big puffy butts. It was priceless.

I saw that too! That was funny!

I have somewhat the same response to commercials for Viagra or similar products. When they show an "older" couple dancing and sneaking off to the elevator to go to their room and do you know what. Well that is just something I do not want to think about. I often wonder how parents explain those commercials to their young children. "Mommy, what is erectile dysfunction?" Sure glad I'm not a parent these days.

Jen - you are too funny! Thanks for the comic relief!!!

(With apologies to Rod Stewart)
Oh - if you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Let me show you my Depends.
They're a pretty color, and they keep my urine
And my poop all trapped within.
La la la la!

LMAO msm!!!!

My open letter:

Dear Depends,

Try out your product. It is scratchy and ill fitting. Go get some Huggies Pullups and make Depends in adult sizes with the same materials as Huggies Pullups...soft and fits well. Thank you.

Har! Don't fee bad for Rod Stewart...he'll be in them soon enough.

About the Viagra commercial~
It says "seek medical attention if you have an erection for more than 4 hours"
My husband says "If I have an erection for more than 4 hours, you'll be the one needing medical attention"

LMAO, golfbhard!! That is for sure!!

ok Viagra now all i would like to know is where does the water come from for those bath tubs out in the middle of no where? is it warm or cold? who fills them and where are the handles if you need more water and why two? if you are going to get "Some" I would only need one big tub...or a little one would do if you dont mind being stuck together duhhh thats what its all about right??? been so long dont know that I would know how to do it.

Some poor sap fills the tub with a hose off camera, probably a house near by location, it is cold, the actors ignore it and some advertising person thought "hey, how about two bath tubs?" cause I think you wouldn't get it past censors, to have two nekkid people in a tub, it is sort of intoned you know, two people, engaged in sensuous behavior.... But Separately! See no sex! but were Selling sex...hmm Tee Vee People....

Jen, I always thought that was odd. Annoying actually. Makes no sense.

and why bath tubs i guess it must have been messy sex!! give me a shower anyday!
hubby has been a real pill last two days! just nothing suits him. just got him in bed, now do i go to bed or sit on the deck in the swing where it is quiet for a while i think the swing wins. good night all I love you all here!!

Oh and not to mention the commercials for "extends" for that certain "something" being spoken by a bimbo in her late twenties who is targeting older men. PUKE!

EEEWWWWW...
I rad about Viagra wives years ago, it was like the sex for many of them was un-good and obligatory and they were glad to be rid of it now here he comes again no teeth, sagging everything and an erection, something they thought they were well done with for years..... u hu....

Jen, and don't forget that it's a possible 4 hr erection! I doubt that is a Viagra wives "joystick" wheeeerrrrreeees my gun!

Depends sure are necessary these days and work a lot better than the old timey adult diapers. Oh well sometimes it is not so cute, exciting or funny, but you have to lighten up at some point in your life or you would lose your cool ;-)

How will they advertise these NASA diapers? By the ounce? Gallon?
Or the lady who drove hundreds of miles to face off her ex boyfriend's new woman?

To loose control of bodily functions is an embarrassing and terrible situation for anyone, so I think that for those that manufacture the products to try and make them look nicer and attempt to lift the stigma that's associated with them is a step in the right direction.

Yes, but not "sexy".....

s'creepin me out thinking of my perverted grandfather wearing em...and his porn collection...

Ew.

I agree those commericals are crazy. The commericals that bother me the most are for the ones like; Exelon patch, namenda etc... They perceive that Dementia/Alz is a "walk in the park". Well, those drug manufactures who do the commericals need to spend a day at my home or a lot of ones on here. This is definately no walk in the park taking care of someone with Dementia. They need to have commericals show the hard truth. Maybe that will make the public more aware of the growing problem with Alz/ Dementia. Maybe then the public will see what it is like from a caregivers perspective.
I know they want to market their product so it appeals to people. But misleading people to think that if their loved one wears a patch or pops a pill that everything will be okay, Is far from the truth. Because of commericals like that non-understanding people of this disease,who believe what they see on tv have "informed" me that these meds will make mom better. Yes, mom was on Namenda/Aricept but it just slowed down the inevitable.
Sorry to vent! As I was reading other posters here. I seen that Exelon patch commerical on tv. It got me fired up!!!
