Incontinence Loaf   (+33, -3)  [vote for, against]
avoid prying eyes at your local supermarket

The incontinence loaf is an absorbent adult diaper shaped and packaged to appear to be a loaf of bread. In the privacy of your own home, simply remove the packaging and cut off a slice to the desired thickness depending on your daily requirements.

Insert in underwear and go about your business clean, dry and odour free without anyone the wiser. For those with dementia, try a real loaf of bread for similar results.

Tofurniture, the CDRW omelette and now the Incontinence Loaf - I'm not coming round for dinner at yours.

A genuine sense of foreboding accompanied the clicking of this idea's name. I like it but where would this bread be in the supermarket?

To place it in the bakery would be to court disaster, as simple-minded consumers would discover the high fibre delights of adult nappy slices in record numbers. But if you put it with the hygiene/medical stuff, the deception is blown at the crucial "acquisition" phase. Truly 'tis a pickle! Or a sanitary absorbent shaped like bread. Or something.

If the bakery was adjacent to the pharmacy no one could tell if you just happened to wander around the corner carrying a loaf.
-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Oct 11 2004


But then that fresh bread smell they waft from the vents in the bakery would get all mixed up with the pharmaceuticals and you'd find yourself thinking things like:
"Mmmm...I could really go for a nicy crusty toothpaste sandwich right now."

//just happened to wander around the corner carrying a loaf.// Thanks, 2 fries. I think you meant this as a more or less serious defense, but in the context of this discussion, it made me laugh out loud!

is that a crusty roll in your pocket or...

[2 fries], you made me laugh out loud in an otherwise depressing morning. Thanks!

Now, the only inconvenience I find for this product is that people really wanting to buy bread mistake the incontinence loaf for a baguette... and when they get home hungry the loaf will just make them "piss off".

If it looks just like a regular load of bread, how would you prevent this from happening?

I can't believe I'm getting croissants for this idea. Theyr'e going straight to the front of my trousers.

MMmmm... like a French stick [ben] ?
-- skinflaps, Oct 12 2004


oui oui! (wee wee)
-- benfrost, Oct 12 2004


How would you get the slices to stay in place? Would there be any way of adding wings?
-- nimchimpsky, May 30 2005


Mmm. "Eau de Toast" would be nice.
-- reensure, May 30 2005


Thanks [benfrost] & everyone else for the laughs. I really needed that. Haaa!.+
