Loved the Robinson pants that used to have the size stamped in the plastic.

It was details like this that added to the shame I felt at already having to wear incontinence pants in my early 60s!. The assertive guy who first forced me to do this used to make me first remove my already pissed-in trousers then rub them in my face before putting me into the plastic pants. If I went out with him while he was staying with me I was made to put on my plastic pacamac, fully buttoned up to the throat to hide the trouser stains, whether or not it was actually raining. He didn't realise this but I loved being made to wear my plastic pacamac. It was no punishment at all!

Never had my nose rubbed in it when I was a child although it was occasionally mentioned in jest. I liked the Robinson's because they were so like the plastic pants I was made to wear as a child. I was sad to have to leave them behind so to speak but did my best to continue to indulge myself, alone and in secret, when the opportunity presented itself. Helping to sort donations for jumble sales was sometimes the only opportunity to get my hands on something useful. Old, no longer necessary, terry squares were often donated and, if one was lucky the associated plastic pants came with them.

My first plastics were XL Boots 'triplets' (they came in a pack of 3) nearly 60 years ago, as a teenager, I just about fitted in them but they were very tight on the legs. Lovely and smooth though and a very distinct plastic odour that stayed with me for years.

Originally I bought medical ones like Robinsons which were good but expensive and quite heavy, and then Henleys which were a nice weight and coverage but had a gusset to hold a pad which I'd have to carefully cut out I found AirOliver who stocked more interesting styles and colours and then AliExpress came along and I've bought FuuBuu or Haian since then.

But you ask about rubber? I have a few medical rubber pants but when they were more easily and cheaply available, several pairs of latex briefs which I once wore continuously for a month to see if it was possible, in summer too, and I'd do it again if I could find a supply.
I wore cream rubber pants as an alternative to plastic for a period when caring for a sick friend some years ago as they were completely opaque unlike my plastic pants so I could wear them in front of his carers without embarrasment. I really liked the feel of them, so much so that I later bought an ankle-length cream rubber nightshirt. I had started wearing ordinary cotton nightshirts from age 50 as they gave quicker access to ones tackle than pyjamas do so you didnt piss yourself before you got to the toilet!

Had a similar fitting problem with charity donated plastic pants as I grew older. Only solved when I was older and confident enough to visit one of those old fashioned "surgical" shops that sold plastic incontinence pants, usually Sandra from Henly's, in adult sizes. Of course, if asked, I was only ever buying them for a "friend".
