The Daily Populous Saturday February 15th, 2020 evening edition
My very elderly father has dementia & needs to start wearing depends, so I made a fake ad for “Disposable Sports Underwear” so he can use them without shame
Edit: thank you everyone for the kind comments! His dementia is early, so he still knows who I am and also has a lot of pride. We have found that having a sense of humor makes things 1000X easier.
My grandfather can hardly hear but refuses to get hearing aids because he says "they'd make me look old". He's 96.
Edit: BTW, he's the guy we make the umbrella Christmas disguise present for every year (if you remember me from other posts). Example: Last year and this year
My dad actually starting wearing these at my grandpa’s house to show my grandpa his cool new underwear and he should get some too! (My grandpa had been buying new boxers every week and just throwing them away). They actually make boxer versions! It worked - grandpa switched ;)

Three years ago I also did the fake ad for the Sports Walker, which he still uses today very proudly. https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/6cbdhv/my_very_elderly_father_needs_a_walker_but_was/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
