Talk:Depend

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This reads almost like a sales pamphlet that I had to google a line from it just to make sure it wasn't copied from somewhere. (The only hit that turned up was clearly taken from this article, so it seems it's not a copyvio at least.) It is informative, I just think the tone of the article needs a little work. - furrykef (Talk at me) 03:01, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

I cleaned it up just a little by removing sentence fragments, for example, "Ideal for X" becomes "They are ideal for X". However, the text gets repetitive this way ("They are this, they are that..."), so it needs to be rewritten further. Also, the article needs to be consistent about "it" versus "they" when referring to a particular item ("It does have perforated sides" versus "They do have perforated sides"). - furrykef (Talk at me) 03:09, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ha

Very funny article. A little pro-depend if you ask me. (bit of a waste of kilobytes). Theonlyedge 00:51, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not funny if you have medical problems....

I'm glad that "theonlyedge" finds victims incontinence funny. I bet he thinks quadriplegics are riot. When you're in your 20s and suddenly start bleeding from your small intestine, it's not very amusing.

Trying to figure out what an incontinence product is like when you're faced with a wide variety from each company and they're often discussed (even on the packaging) in such euphemistic terms that you have no idea what is actually in the package. I've wasted several hundred dollars purchasing useless products.

On 22 and 23Feb05, I made some major edits to remove personal jokes (again, people seem to have no understanding that incontinence is not a joke, it's a horrible condition to live with) placed in the document by 65.40.195.23, correct mistakes in the product descriptions, and remove uses for which incontinence products are not really needed. Sorry, but you don't need adult diapers for menstruation or a "wet dream". Find me a doctor who says you do and I'll put it back.

I may add links to other product brands later so this seems less commercial. It seems I have to write them myself, and I don't have the time right now.

This _is_ a useful page to a lot of people.

Funny or not (its not), calling something an excellent choice for a teenage bedwetters is not npov-should say often used or something like that (referenced too)- Im too lazy to research the Depends page though 206.11.112.251 22:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
