NASA categorically denies this is a diaper. It's a Maximum Absorbency Garment.

Does this ass make my diaper look big?

That's a pretty hefty diaper... M.A.G. you got there.

[DailyDi]

that's a waddle-maker for sure!

Good thing they're not wearing that on Earth. I'm not even sure they could walk in it!

That just looks wretchedly uncomfortable, and let me guess, they probably cost about $1500 a piece! No, wait, that was the toilet seat.....or was that the hammer....

[battlemage]

Could it have been for the screwdriver that they attached to the toilet seats?

Were you at the Udvar-Hazy center? One of the interactive carts that they sometimes have out on the floor actually has one loose that you can actually pick and look at.

I wonder how it would feel having your diaper changed in zero G's!

Did any one else read the annotation on the the little card beneath the 'exhibt' which describes it?

Yes I will admit I'm a logophile. I always read information when it's presented in conveniant bite sized chunks.

I'm wondering what brand of 'commercaily avaliable disposable brief product' the astronauts favour? Maybe the each like different brands, that would be kind of funny.

I read a few years ago that tranquilty makes there diapers.

I've always wondered what all the seams are for? Do they seal off the area that actually gets wet from the rest of the garment? Or what?
