Hi Christine,
I need help from your memory of all things rubber panties.
During mid-June 1973 I attended the birthday party of my best friend. Because both of us had OAB, our mothers asked us to wear just-in-case pinned Curity gauze diapers with Gerber vinyl panties.
A slightly older girl, perhaps 10 or 11, was wearing some other kind of waterproof panties not always hidden by her skirt. Back then I did not think about diapers very much. Is it possible the older girl's panties were rubber or latex? They were not translucent like Gerber. My impressing was that they were thicker than Gerbers, but as supple.
That girl and her panties will be featured in a story I am writing. The only brand of latex baby panties I know about are PlayTex which went out of production in 1954, years before I was born. My mom tells me that when she reverted to bedwetting in 1946 PlayTex baby panties had just resumed production. Her parents bought her PlayTex panties until she outgrew them. Her youngest sister Betsy was born in late 1948 and wore PlayTex most of the time until mid-1952.
Thanks in advance, Angela

You did not say what color they were
I think Bittner was still making rubber panties, Kleinert's was making plastic panties that were white and slightly translucent. These could be for either older children or adults. By 1980, Kkeinert's was using a grainy, translucent material
If she was wearing one of the babypanty companies' offerenings, Empire was the biggest, PlayTex was still around. Empire was kind of medium translucent and PlayTex were opaque white. Also Chix and Dundee made white grain material panties. And of course, Gerber, of which you know more than I do
There were tons of house brands and off-brand at any pharmacy or places like Woolwoth's or Newberry's. Bittner made the only known real rubber panties in the US. There were probably some other minor brands
There was also the Salk "Por-pant" flannel-lined panties with the snap-in liner, and "Sani-pant" plastic-lined nylon or rayon panty that used some kind of pad, and a few clones
This may have been an uncommon or not publicly available brand recommended by a doctor
Babykins makes the most authentic-looking "little's" rubber panty that I know of
This would be an excellent ABDL research topic
Gee; what makes everybody think I know much about rubber panties?
