>> Speaker A: If. If you describe something to me as a diaper and in the description of the function of that item, you have anything that says that the waste will pass through. I don't want that. I don't want that as a diaper. Welcome back to privy. Privy is a podcast about bathrooms recorded from my home bathroom. I'm your host, hunter Hoover, and I love bathrooms. Thank you for being here with us. Um, I appreciate you joining me on this journey through
bathrooms. It's really a rich history. Um, and we're going to be diving into a historical bathroom, um, adjacent topic this week, but I want to say it's allergy season. And so if you hear in my voice what sounds like, um, somebody choking on gravel, that's probably just the presence of allergies. Uh, the air is toxic, and I know it's just like nature's way of weeding out those who can't snuff it.
But genuinely, when your face is just, like, eyes swollen shut from just the sheer allergic force of every tree and bush nearby you, it makes for just kind of an interesting afternoon. Um, I played about 30 minutes of foursquare outside today, and the result was just a full on allergy attack with my eyes just watering and just complete disaster as far as my eyes could see, which was not very far because they
were bleary. Um, but, yeah, I live here in the Pacific Northwest, the, uh, Willamete Valley, specifically. And I once had someone explain to me that living in the Willamete valley, uh, first of all, just about anything can grow here. Uh, it's like the fertile crescent. Um, I think that's a history thing, but everything grows here. But as a result, every allergy exists here, too. It's a blessing and a curse, really. And, um, yeah, if you have allergies, it's just
a rough world. It makes me wonder if there is a correlation between allergies and what we do in the bathroom. I put my eyedrops in, in the bathroom, so that's kind of correlated. Uh, but, yeah, tis the season. Um, and you know what else? People don't care about my rants here. We're going to get into it. So, as I teased, uh, this week, we are talking about a bathroom
adjacent topic. And I say bathroom adjacent because every now and then, we get one of these topics where it doesn't necessarily have to do with the bathroom specifically, but it is so intricately and, um, so deeply related to what we do in this space that it does well to talk about it here. Um, and I got to note that it's been some time since I'ventured into this world, and I kind of put my whole gut situation on the line for the dragon fruit test. Uh, and I'm not sure
if I want to. I don't think I'm going to be testing this one. I think I know what I'm going to find there. But this week on privy, we need to talk about diapers, and specifically the history of diapers. Where did these guys come from? And, ah, having established the history of these butt coverings, um, we need to talk a little bit of etiquette. When my wife. I won't do the thing. I will resist the urge to go full Borat on that saying, but just
imagine that I did do it. But when we found out that we were going to have our first child, we were ecstatic. And one of the things that began to happen is we began to accumulate the goods that we would need to have a child living in our, at the time apartment. And as we get the crib, and we get the crib built, and we're, like, stocking supplies, and at one point, my wife has just, like, uh, woofie boxes of diapers, and I'm sitting here, huh know, I feel like we're not going to need this many
diapers. Like, the little guy is going to grow out of this size before we even use them. Anna kind of just turns around and stares at me. I don't remember all the details, but she asked me, like, well, how many diapers do you think you need? Just, uh, how many do you think you need? And it was of my opinion, having helped raise and having, at that point in my life, not changed a diaper, I'm pretty out of practice. Um, I haven't had to change a diaper
in over two years. Our children are, praise God, um, potty trained and well on their way. Uh, but I told her, I was like, I can't imagine one of these little things. Uses more than two or three diapers a day. Like, a couple of diapers a day, two diapers, three max. I use three sheets of toilet paper when I wipe my butt two to three times per job. So logic serves that I would only need to change the diaper two or three times a
day. The box comes with, like, 100 diapers. I mean, you do the math, that should last me about two to three months. Two months ish. And little did I know that I would be changing the diaper two or three times before we even left the hospital, like, that first day. And I'm sitting here going, oh, no. And I will be the first in line to admit, and I have admitted it, too, Anna. I was terribly, terribly wrong. Uh, I very underestimated how many diapers a
baby is going to be using. The other thing, while we're on the topic of changing baby diapers, something they don't tell you about those newborn baby poops. They have all these parenting books written for all sorts of things. They got how to videos on how to swaddle a baby and how to change the baby's diaper and give a baby a bath and do all these things with a baby. And I will admit, I did read and I did look up, and I had Anna show me a number of those things.
But you know what? Nobody ever told me about flipping newborn baby poops? They are wild. It's like black tar. I've never seen black tar heroin, but I imagine that it looks like newborn baby poop. It's insane. Uh uh. I'm in the hospital, and he needs to be changed, and I pop the diaper open. As I stare down at this real life miniatured version of the Pokemon muck that had emerged from my beautiful son child, all I could think was like, man, I am so thankful for
diapers. Could you imagine if he had just sullied this straight into his blankie? Good night. From that point on, we proceeded to use way more than two or three diapers a day for the next two or so years. Um, really, it was four years because we had the two children. But whatever. I digress. I'm forever thankful to my wife, uh, because one of the things I had told her, I was like, I really don't want to have two kids in diapers at
one time. And, man, my son and my wife, they locked down the potty training, like, almost in perfect timing. As we begin to talk about diapers, I have some interesting diaper facts for you to get your head and perhaps your behind in the correct space here. First, the largest diaper brand in 2022, the year 2022, was Huggies. Um, Huggies, to me, is known for the big red box at Costco. Uh, and Huggies made about 20 billion with a b. That's billion, as in boring, holio. Uh, $20
billion in the year 2022. That's wild. That's a lot of billion of dollars. And the global diaper market, which is a thing that people measure and pay attention to, is about $82 billion. So if you want to make a trainload of money, if you want to market something and make some money. Quit trying to sell cutco or flipping. I don't know what people sell. I see these plexus moms and I kind of don't get it. If you're a plexus mom and you're listening to this, I'm sorry, I'm not
trying to dunk on you. I just don't understand this. They're like, oh, buy my pink drink. It made me feel better and it's like, did it? I guarantee you just drinking a lot more water and a lot less of everything else, if you cut the sugar out of your coffee, you're going to be better. I did away with sugar in my coffee, uh, about two years ago. And man, I'll tell you what, first of all, the effects of the coffee are greatly enhanced. Um, and the flavor, I
genuinely like the flavor of black coffee. Side tangent on the side tangent. Um, black, like poorly brewed black coffee. It tastes like, uh, my desire for that taste in my mouth is similar to what I think has been described to me as people who smoke tobacco cigarettes. They got to get that first tobacco cigarette of the morning. I don't know. I don't even know what I'm saying at this
point. But yeah, in 2022, huggies made $20 billion and pampers was right behind it at 19 billion and the entire globe like $82 billion industry in 2022. That's a lot. The average baby, um, which first of all, how dare you. Do you call in my. No, but the average baby goes through 2200 diapers in a year. Staggering numbers. Almost four to five times what
I originally perceived. Uh, if you would have told me before we had our children, hey, they're going to go through about 2000 to 2500 diapers in a year. I absolutely still would have pursued my children, but I would have really taken my wife's advice at stocking up more diapers earlier on. That's staggering numbers. And it's really, as with most things in capitalism, it's a lot of money being made off a person's necessity to catch pee and poop. That's
essentially what this is. It's coming to grips with the fact that we have got to catch this. Otherwise it's going to be spread hither and yawn and, uh, we're going to have to deal with it then. But before diapers were a multibillion dollar, billion dollar industry, apparently they were pretty much free. It turns out these historical diapers were also not really technically diapers. So we need to first look at the history of diapers. If we want to know how we got to these. I mean, they're
fairly technological. I think it's only a matter of years before we have, like, scent odorizing or scent neutralizing. I'm sure they have scent neutralizing diapers. We never had these, but I was always baffled at how much urine a diaper can hold. It's insane. Like, they get heavy, and, um, if you ever had just a wet, open diaper and you have an enemy, just cash that right at the back of their head. Like, oof, no, don't do that. That's mean. We got to grip and rip this bad boy. Oh, yes, queen
that, uh, brings the pepper. Um, polar seltzer is coming at it again here. But our journey into diaper history begins in ancient times. Primitive parents Babar and bumbor had to rely on pretty primitive methods to keep their kids from, like, totally splatter canning the cave wall. Um, a parent then desperate for something to cover their child's butt with, they reach for something, and they begin fashioning, like, things made out of tree
leaves. And I think of, like, Angela in the office, where she's, like, dressing, uh, babies up in food. I imagine seeing a baby just, like, got loincloth diaper going on with these tree leaves. And I can't imagine that leaves do much, if anything, to catch poop. Like, yes, they provide a barrier with the outside world, but how much are leaves catching? Do you know what I'm saying? Really? How much? Others who would, I don't know. Uh, to me, leaves is just
scratchy. The others would opt for moss, which I think is fairly more logical, um, other ways. So instead of just simply wiping the leaves or wrapping the leaves and moss around the baby's nethers, um, another option would to be to take a gourd and carve it and fill it with moss for absorbency. I think it's kind of like a jacko lantern, but it's a jacko lantern that you slide onto your babies, but it's like a diaper lantern. Like a jacko diaper. Jacko diaper. Poor di. Pumpkin. Pumpkin. There's a
joke in there somewhere. It's buried somewhere very, very deep. But they would hollow out these gourds, and then they would fill the gourds with, like, leaves and moss for added absorbency. And I feel like there's some sort of real nursery rhyme here. I think there's got to be something about a kid who was wearing some sort of pumpkin or gourd or something. Other ancient civilizations, this time, Egypt, um, there's evidence that suggests that they were using linen fabrics and animal
skins as makeshift diapers. You essentially just wrap it around the downstairs. And here's my thing. I don't know if you've ever interacted with animal skins, um, but they aren't the most cushiony situation. And I can't imagine an animal skin is going to do a lot by way of absorbing liquids or sometimes solids. I mean, ask yourself this question, would you wear leather underwear? And if the answer is no, ask yourself, well,
why not? And I think if we're being honest with ourselves, if we're telling ourselves the truth, the reason we're declining leather underwear is because of the chafing. Like, we're going to chafe, we're going to have some real chafed hog, you know what I'm saying? The options weren't bad. Um, the Greeks kind of took the Egyptians thing and other people's ideas about the pumpkins, and they said, okay, but what if it had a little bit more
of a reusable take? Like, instead of slapping a pumpkin on the baby's butt and calling it an afternoon, what if we take terracotta pots? Yes, pots, as in clay pottery pots, and we form them with holes in the bottom that were used now as early forms of diapers. Now, uh, I have got to tell you, the description of these pots is that they, quote, would allow the waste to pass through while keeping the baby relatively
clean. And, um, as I sat here and thought about this, I was like, how in the heck is a baby going to wear a clay pot and poop in the clay pot? And somehow it travels through the clay pot and it does not get them dirty. And I'm going to tell you the number of things that came to my brain, I could not suss this out. But thankfully, we live in the world of Google image search. And I want to note here, I think this is not technically
a diaper. Uh, I don't really know how to describe it, but I do know that if you describe something to me as a diaper and in the description of the function of that item, you have anything that says that the waste will pass through. I don't want that. Uh, I don't want that as a diaper. Like, imagine we don't go to target right now. Imagine you go to Walmart and you look at the huggies and the huggies, diapers, say, allows the turd to pass through. Keeping your child's buttocks clean.
I'm not going to buy it. Like, it's not that I don't want my child to have a clean buttocks, but get it. But how is this possible? Well, I had to go look this up because, um, I could not figure it out. And after I saw it, my instantly thought to myself was, well, I don't think this counts as a diaper. Um, this terracotta pot air quotes diaper here, um, essentially looks kind of like a high chair. And the child's legs do go through holes, and they're sitting in it. But the rest of it
is kind of like a toilet. Like, it's kind of like a baby toilet that you strap the baby into the clay pot and they would poop, and it would drop into the chamber below where it would then be emptied when you take the baby out. Um, again, I think this is a gray area. I'm not convinced this is a quote, diaper. I think there needs to be some sort of a maneuverability or portability to the infant or child when wearing the diaper for it to fully count as a diaper. That's just my opinion.
The ancient Chinese developed, good lord. Sometimes I read a sentence and I remember typing it. Like, I use my notes. I have notes. Uh, you caught me. I have notes. Forgive me. Um, but, I mean, at the end of the day, is this kind of just research? Like, I'm researching some things. I'm throwing in some jokes about taking a dump here and there, but I'm not talking about my stuff. I will update. I did eat Applebee's this week, and I'll tell you right now, I thought while I was
eating it, I didn't even eat it all. I had to take some of it home. But I had, like, chicken wings and waffle fries, like woofie. And I thought for sure, I was like, I'm going to get so dunked on, and I didn't aok. There is no rhyme or reason to what part of Applebee's is going to do you south, but the ancient Chinese developed and still use today. I should note that that's important. A technology called the crotchless trouser. Now, jeez, the pictures of these are just ridiculous.
I, uh, understand how they came to be. I do. I get it. If you're trying to teach the baby, you don't have to deal with the pants. You just bend over and the pants, like, break away. But they're essentially buttless chaps. But for, like, little kids who are learning to use the bathroom, they just squat. Or the child is held in a squat by their parent, and they go into a pot or a bowl or a toilet, and it's kind of like a tear away.
You know, those people that I feel like they're always getting ready to dance and they just like, reach down and bam. They just got like, the breakaway pants. I feel like this is one step removed from that, but it only breaks away in the butthole area to expose the butthole. Mhm. Yeah. I don't know. I wonder if they make these for adults. I want to see some breakaway diaper pants for adults. That'd be wild, man. There would be some awful moon jobs going on there.
Never mooned anybody. Never really got the thrill. I don't really understand the. Yeah, I don't understand the hype on that. Never mooned anybody. Um, maybe one day. If we fast forward to the middle ages. It was a time of great discovery and worse smells. Diapers here took a leap into the future. Parents realized that, man, we've been using these animal skins as diapers, and some of these animals are a little fluffier than the others. They began using sheep's wool and lamb's wool as
diaper material. Padding and, uh, absorption, absorption. I don't know if that's a word. Lambs wool. Imagine just a diaper, just stuffed, uh, just butt covering, stuffed to the brim with lamps. Moving into the Renaissance era, it was a time of exploration, and the diaper choices in fashion kind of took a downslope. The wealthy, uh, of society kind of embraced a fashion forward, and they begin using fine linens as diaper material. Now, here's why you want to not use fine linen as diaper
material. It categorically will be covered in human turds, but it should be. Note, a change in the word diaper occurred during this time. Diapers were used as the term diaper was used as a decorative patterned fabric. So you would say, oh, those pants are made of diaper. Kind of like how? Like denim. Jean. It's a jean jacket. Well, jeans are pants, but they're jean jacket. Like the material is jean. Um, it's kind of like that for diaper. But they began taking this fine layer because
it was nice and soft. And, um, they began sewing it into the parts of clothing that needed an extra layer, particularly the ones that are associating with your downstairs. Think of, like, early underwear, but it's sewn into the pants. It's called diaper fabric. This softer material began to be used by parents to the point where the idea of a diaper was associated with children and not adults anymore. It's like they were saying, oh, look at my child's butt covering. It's all the
rage. I, uh, use only the fanciest linens for their booty covering. In more recent history, the modern diaper as we know it today began to take shape in the 19th century. In 1834, a woman named Maria Allen. Invented the first Us patent for a diaper. Her design featured an absorbent pad that was secured with a safety pin. This invention, the absorbent pad pants, laid the foundation for the development of modern diapers. For a long time, these were referred to as nappies.
If you watch Bluey, you know all about them. Nappies. As we move into the industrial revolution, things began to boom. Industry was being revolved, revolutionized. I think that's the verbiage on that. Things were improving, technology was getting better, and with it, uh, machines to do work. Now there are machines to produce diapers. Mass production leads to mass confusion here, as during this time, I argue, we took a step backwards as we introduced
rubber pants. Now, rubber pants served kind of the similar purpose as diapers. They caught the material. Now, the problem is, until you would have to put some sort of an absorbent material, usually a nappy, inside the rubber pants to help the leakage. They wanted them to be encased in this impenetrable rubber barrier. The problem is, the rubber pants often leaked, even when lined with the absorbent cloth diaper nappy. The 19 hundreds saw an even different boom.
We entered the era of disposable diapers because up until this point, with the exception of the leafs and moss and pumpkins, people of the past, we were reusing these. We were washing them and reusing them. And with the disposable diaper, I would argue, came a fortune by way of 80 plus billion dollars per year. Mothers and their infants clad at the time. And at the beginning of these disposable diapers, they look like just glorified paper bags. Like convenience was at an all time high.
But wearing these made your kid look like a, uh, ding dong. Like landfills. Saw more and more of these diapers pile up. Imagine, we've talked of the trouble of the early sewers during this time. Imagine just the bedlam that these diapers waged against those sewers. In the 1940s, a swedish paper company called Paulstrom introduced the first mass produced disposable diaper. The diaper consisted of a tissue paper lining and an outer plastic cover. Now, here's the thing. Tissue paper does nothing
when wet. Like if you spill something, next time you spill something, go get yourself a Kleenex and try to clean it up, it fades away. Like most of these government officials morals in the side of anything that they want and they know they shouldn't have. But it consisted of a tissue paper lining and an outer plastic cover. It wasn't until the 1960s and 70s that disposable diapers gained the significant popularity and
became a staple in households around the world. But before then, we have to jump back, because we have been speaking primarily of baby diapers, saying nothing of the adult diaper industry. The use of adult diapers can be traced back to World War II, when, um, the military developed absorbent products for injured and bedridden soldiers. These products were designed to manage bladder and bowel incontinence, providing a practical solution for individuals who had difficulty using conventional
bathroom facilities. The adult diaper was a medical invention to assist in wartime to those who fought and were injured. Marion Donovan invented the first leak proof diaper cover. And with this, we arrive at, uh, what is essentially present day diaper technology. Modern day diaper technology has reached staggering heights. Moisture wicking fabrics, absorbency like never before. Diapers that send messages to your smartphones. Yes, uh, electronic diapers.
Diapers have come a long way, but there was some deals that needed to be made. Marion Donovan, as I stated, invented the first leak proof diaper cover. She sold her patent for the waterproof diaper for $1 million back in 1950. Adjusted for inflation, that's a flip jillion dollars today. But still, disposable diapers were a luxury at the time. Lined with tissue paper, Johnson and Johnson came on the scene. Another popular brands began to emerge and
produce diapers themselves. In the 60s, they introduced cellulose fibers to help catch and hold more liquid. In the 70s, they ditched the pins to hold the diaper on for the adhesive straps. Man, you could get some stretch on those adhesive straps. I was always impressed when I was diapering my children, like, just how far you can wrap those adhesive straps around your child.
By the 1970s, Procter and gamble released pampers made by a chemical engineer who wanted to make a better diaper for his grandson. Like later, the formerly owned Kimberly Clark brand released their Huggies diapers. These added elastic straps to help them fasten, made the cut of the diaper to better fit the anatomy of a baby. Unless you get one of those thick walrus children, and then you're going to have to get those chubby boy diapers. We have hardly even discussed adult diapers, but, uh,
essentially, imagine all this. But for a big baby called an adult person. I think you have to increase the absorbency on those, too, because if I'm wearing a diaper, man, I'll tell you what, I can produce some pee. When pressed, there can be some pee. I don't know if you're listening to this, and you are currently in charge of diapering children. Hats. Uh, off to you. Um, I hope that learning a little bit about what those who have had to diaper kids did before you has
helped. Um, in short, we're living in the golden age of catching infant leavings. The struggle would be between, in these modern day brands would be between P. G. Procter gamble and the Kimberly Clark parent corporations over diaper supremacy. This war is now being fought by attaching Disney characters, making them waterproof on the outside, and making them sized for adults. Who knows what the future holds? Perhaps we'll witness the rise of levitating diaper drones
or self cleaning diapers. I don't know what that looks like, but the fact is, as long as there are babies, we will need diapers. Now that we've looked at where diapers came from, we all know what the stuff in them comes from. We need to talk briefly here. A little diaper etiquette and diaper etiquette can essentially be summed up as this. The diaper, change the diaper frequently and change it in a place
where it won't be disruptive. Now, I must admit, early on, my thought was, well, if they pee, you can just let that sit, and they can wait until they poopy in it. Now, again, Anna, uh, quickly corrected my error in this and said, no, you cannot just let them sit in the urine. Like, you need to change it as quick as you possibly can. To which I said, well, what if they instantly sully the next diaper? And she said, you change it too. But she's right. Kids
need their comfort, too. I wouldn't want to sit in my wet. You may need to wipe down the surface you're changing your baby on. I would recommend wiping it down both before and after the changing process. That's etiquette there. If you are changing a baby and it is not in a bathroom, you may need to dispose of the diaper in a more rigorous means, um, than simply just tossing in the trash. If you're changing at somebody's house, you don't want to leave
just that. Just little turd grenade wrapped up so just so precious, you don't want to leave that in their kitchen trash or, like, their bedroom trash can, like, you don't want to do that. Deal with it. Take it out to the dumpster, figure it out. Much like Zelda and, well, I guess it's link. Much like Link and his very good sword. When you go to change a diaper, you want to go prepared. Diaper cream, check. Changing pad,
check. Wipes, check. Make sure you have everything you need and that it's all accounted for before you go bursting open the seams of that diaper, because once you break the seam of that diaper, those legs are going hog wild. There's no control. Then that is not the time to get your life in order. You get your crap organized before you get the diaper unleashed. You got to order your life better. At that point, you do not want to expose the babe before you're ready to service the babe.
The Internet says you should always get permission before changing someone else's baby. And, uh, that's good advice. But in my opinion, unless you are related to babysitting or a medical health professional providing support, you should not change another person's kid. Like, I, as a parent, did my very best to never ask anybody but my parents, the kids'relatives, to ever change the diaper. If I was there, I would change it, or my wife would change it. That said, I don't want to
change your kid's diaper. Like, no thanks. Diapers are much more absorbent than you'd expect. This brings me to a brief hunter's anecdotes to keep you afloat. This hunter's anecdotes is back in the days of being a janitor. I've been not a janitor for going on two years now. I miss the profession. Um, they're heroes, really. And one day, I rolled up to do my
janitorial duties. And one of the things that would happen frequently, partially because of septic, but also partially because of knuckleheadedry, is there would frequently be just a sign affixed to the outside of the bathroom door that says out of order. Now, as a janitor, when you see the sign that says out of order, at least I thought two things. Number one, did they try?
And what I mean by that is, did the person, or whoever, the person who made the decision to deem this toilet as out of order, did they do anything to make it out of order? Or did they at, ah, the first sign of terror and peril, slap a sign on the door, wash their hands, quite literally, of the situation, and leave it for someone? In this case, the janitor that we, quote, pay to do this. Now, that is my job. I'm gladly, we'll do
it. But so often, I would pop this door open, and I would look, and it's a classic case of, if we could just locate a plunger and really give this toilet a good plunge job, we would do a world of service to everybody. Like, you would have your bathroom and your toilet back within the hour. You wouldn't have to wait for me to come in once or twice a week. So this
would happen frequently. In this day, I rolled up and I was regularly getting in to start cleaning about 05:00 p.m., um, which means I was usually finishing my cleaning duties on those days between nine and 10:00 p.m. And as I roll up, I see the sign and I go, okay, and I pop the door open and I see the toilet. And normally when you do this, you're met with just, like, the lake of mixed brown and toilet paper. And it's very clearly what you got to deal with. You got a clog. But this one,
there is no water. I mean, there's water in the bowl. And I can see, like, what looks kind of like toilet paper or something. I'm thinking it's paper towel. And I'm like, uh, you know what? I'm going to do this. It's going to be quick. So I'm going to do this. And so I go to plunge it, and I'm, like, working on the plunger, really giving it a good once for. And this is not budging. Normally, you can plunge it and you hit the flush and it starts.
No, the water is coming up to the top. So I actually had to scoop some of the water out in order to continue this process. And I look and I'm trying to figure out what this thing is, and I see what is one of the elastic straps of a baby diaper. Someone had flushed a diaper. Now, inside this hunter's anecdote lives this public service announcement. And I know it should go without saying, but obviously it does not. Do not flush diapers.
Do not do it, because I am now caught on a Friday afternoon, Friday evening, with a pair of scissors and these tweezer type things that I found in the kitchen drawer. I know I used them on the toilet, but I swear, I'm sitting here like, I've got to get this done, and I do not have the equipment to get this done. And I'm, like, simultaneously cutting the diaper and tweezing out chunks of the diaper at a time to get the diaper loose to get it up out of the
s bend. It took me, like, 1520 minutes in this process of cutting and pulling to get this diaper free. And one of the things that I learned about diapers in this process is the absorbent material on the inside is essentially this. It's hard to describe it, but it's kind of like little jelly, like, almost balls. They remind me of, like, orbees, um, but they are just, like, they're in there, and they just kind of swell up. They're also the color changing agent in the diapers
that change color. And so many of these just are in this just totally swollen up. And the worst part is, after you, like, you have the sense of accomplishment, you're like, yes, I have conquered the toilet diaper. And then you turn around and you remember after you just killed 15 minutes to a half hour getting some person's nonsense, and thank God in heaven it was just a pea diaper. I can't imagine having to cut through someone's poopy baby diaper. It was a pea diaper. So
it's gross, but it's less gross. Do you know what I'm saying? Um, but then you turn around and you remember, I still have to clean this entire place. Don't do that to your janitors. Um, if you have a diaper, let the trash stink before you flush it. It's fine. Every janitor on the planet would rather take out stinky trash than have to remove a diaper from an S band. This has been hunter's anecdotes to keep you afloat. And this brings us to the end of another episode of
Privy. Thank you again for joining us. I hope you enjoyed the discussion on diapers.

Own your stank, wash your butthole. And as always, don't forget to flush.
