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

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!sergiouk wrote: May 10th, 2022, 8:59 am Apart from the occasional month when I've had to wear women's underwear like French or directoire knickers, I've worn plastic pants 24x7 almost exclusively for about ten years or more. 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.
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".Elegy53 wrote: August 4th, 2025, 5:02 pm 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.
