An adult incontinence nappy, designed for concertgoers to avoid long queues at toilets, has gone on sale.
The limited-editon Pit Diaper, specifically for mosh pits at music gigs, was available for $75 (£59) before selling out.
It was sold by US firm Liquid Death, a sparkling water brand known for its unusual heavy metal-style images and marketing.
The firm’s promotional material said: "If you’ve been to a concert, you know the scariest place isn’t the mosh pit. It’s the bathroom.
“Now you can avoid having to brave that hellscape with the new Pit Diaper,” adding that it helps fans “relieve themselves in the safety of the mosh pit”.
The company has teamed up with an adult incontinence brand to produce the black pleather accessory, which includes metal studs and chains.
I’m possibly in the age bracket, but definitely a metal head. And I can say that having to fucking need an incontinence pad or diaper had been one of the most depressing things that’s happened to me in the progression of my neurological disease. It’s bizarre to see people choose them outside of niche fetishism or medical need
My hope is that this kind of thing is a small step towards normalisation. It starts of taboo to even talk about, then it becomes a joke, then maybe one day it’s just another thing that you need to do you get through the day. Everyone’s bodies go wrong eventually, no need to add insult to injury!
And this is another reason I don’t go into mosh pits anymore. Imagine being slightly below average height, crushed against six foot something sweaty shirtless hairy men so large that when they take one step towards you they pull in ten other gig goers by their gravitational pull. You feel like a match stick in a sea of organic goo and sweat. Yes you can almost touch your rock idols, but most of the time you’re touching blubber. Now add the musk of warm piss into that mix.
No thanks 👍.
I’ll tell you the tried and true method, for when You need to piss at a concert. You let it out a few drops at a time and rub it into Your thighs.
Why not just piss into a plastic pint glass and hoss it into the crowd, like a civilised person?
Very Spinal Tap.
Liquid Death has an unusual range of merchandise, some are tongue-in-cheek.
