I tried asking my mother-in-law if she would like me to get her some adult briefs, since her incontinence is getting worse and her pads aren't enough anymore. Her sister, who was in the next room, overheard me, and said, "WHAT? BABY diapers?" That ended the conversation, right there. It is hard enough to get the person who needs to wear adult diapers to cooperate, without other family members butting in and making things harder.
