I disliked the distinctive "peach mat" (pinkish orange lining) because if a woman is menstruating, it's difficult to distinguish how much blood (vs urine vs sticky stool) has come out and when it has to be changed because of that-- is that a stain or is it more than that?

Men will also have an advantage of being able to see if there is any blood there.
Incontinence can affect the kidneys in many ways, so it can be important to see if it is too red...

Thanks, John, for incorporating a lot of people's feedback, including mine!

Optimist - a very good point.

Zenute - thank you again for all of your insights.

Now somehow I need to get other women to contribute and I'm unsure how to do that.

I don't know if anyone else does this, but I keep extra cards and recipes in my wallet to make it fatter than usual. It's prob 1.5 to 2 inches thick.

That way when it's in my back pocket, it helps to break up the "unibutt" and also the outline of the diaper.

Not sure if you wanna put that in there.

Ski,

Thanks for the great suggestion. That is the first time I have heard it and it is both effective and simple.

Ok ... that was FUNNY! And also useful! Never thought of that one ... A new one for my repertoire of incon "adjustments". Thanks Ski!
