The United States has the highest rate of female incontinence.
* Half of all women experience incontinence at some point in their lives.
* 1/3 Develop a regular problem.
If it is 1/3 of women, quite a significant number, then why is it considered a problem?!
SOUNDS LIKE IT'S PERFECTLY HEALTHY TO ME.
Just because patriarchal standards of women's deportment insist that we do not smell like urine - so they can objectify us - does not mean that incontinence is a problem. Sounds like it is just as normal as underarm hair, leg hair, facial hair and "obesity". In fact around 1/3 of women are "obese" in the United States and just like obesity adult diapers did not exist when they were painting pictures
of healthy women considered obese by todays standards.
Why do women conform to the patriarchal standard of wearing adult diapers for incontinence?
Good point Megan. There is no "personal pride" in conforming to patriarchal standards. And petrel, how dare you suggest that men suffer equally to women in any way men are rarely incontinent, with the rate for men being the same as when they are 15 as when they are 50, while women suffer greatly from the age of 45. Men hardly suffer until they are 65 and even then TWICE as many women as men are incontinent!

Because, typically, women are the ones who have to do laundry. If a woman loses control of her bladder multiple times a day, that's an entire extra load of laundry for her to do!
By your reasoning, women shouldn't "conform" to using a pad or tampon when they are on their periods. It's normal. It's natural. That doesn't mean that women want to wander around in stained, smelly, sticky clothing all day. Nor does she want to change her pants every little while and have more laundry.

I would guess for personal pride and to prevent urine from staining their shoes.

"patriarchal" standards.
Does this mean that men invented diapers? I don't think so.
Does it mean that men do not suffer from incontinence? I don't think so.
Adult diapers (as you call them) can and are used by both genders for comfort and freedom of movement.
