	This reads almost like a sales pamphlet that I had to google a line from it just to make sure it wasn't copied from somewhere. (The only hit that turned up was clearly taken from this article, so it seems it's not a copyvio at least.) It ''is'' informative, I just think the tone of the article needs a little work. - ] (]) 03:01, 16 November 2005 (UTC)		This reads almost like a sales pamphlet that I had to google a line from it just to make sure it wasn't copied from somewhere.

	Trying to figure out what an incontinence product is like when you're faced with a wide variety from each company and they're often discussed (even on the packaging) in such euphemistic terms that you have no idea what is actually in the package. I've wasted several hundred dollars purchasing useless products.

	On 22 and 23Feb05, I made some major edits to remove personal jokes (again, people seem to have no understanding that incontinence is not a joke, it's a horrible condition to live with) placed in the document by 65.40.195.23, correct mistakes in the product descriptions, and remove uses for which incontinence products are not really needed. Sorry, but you don't need adult diapers for menstruation or a "wet dream". Find me a doctor who says you do and I'll put it back.
