As long as they put enough absorbent material in them with enough coverage for guys I think they would have a huge impact on the market
jrpoorman said:I think so. You know if we all told or showed them what we thought a perfect solution would be for each of us, they could most certainly come up with some great prototypes that would rock the incontinence market. I will try to reach out to someone there and see if they would be willing to create a focus group for superior products for real life use.

I do know that he visits a lot of incontinence forums, and had authorized overrides for people to get more samples than they usually are allowed. He just told them to say that Adam okayed it, and they could ask him if they needed to.
I've messaged him directly before about ideas for the megamax, and he told me my ideas wasn't as simple as it seemed (which I'm still not sure about), but I think he would be a good contact to teach out to if you want to find a person that can get this kicked off.
AlasSouth said:You all have a good idea. There must be a market for IC products or the supermarkets wouldn't devote such a lot of foot-space to it on their shelves, so maybe Northshore, being an alternative, would be more receptive. The more people who contact them, the better.
One big problem i see on here is the money angle. Some online suppliers offer free shipping if you can afford auto-refills and auto-pay. My favorite doesn't even carry the major-brand absorption level i want.
