OH NOT CROCS! Come on people. I feel compelled to have some sort of concert to raise awareness of your plight, maybe get some TShirts printed. SadGrin

Incontinence pants following a tear to my anal sphincter muscle during birth. Only had to wear them a week after birth but still, I never expected to be 35 and shitting myself 😞

Sticks so I can still go out hill walking

Yep Crocs.
Originally they were for the back garden but I took them for our few days away last week, ostensibly for on the beach. I wore them all day one day, walking six miles in them. I’m glad to hear they’re fashionable Smile

There's every possibility I'll pop up on a similar thread to this in the future and my answer will be crocs. I've got Sketchers Go Walk, it's a slippery slope....

Bladder leak underwear but they are far superior to using pads.

A pregnancy pillow but not for a baby, it was to help me sleep upright after an operation in 2019, it now lives in the loft as I refuse to get rid as it was so expensive.

On the more positive size, I never thought I'd buy skinny jeans but after a big weightloss I now wear them regularly.

Hotter trainers
A sensible car with a nice big boot
