I agree that for some purposes rubber pants are better than plastic. about 10 years ago I was helping a friend, staying at his place regularly overnight. As it was a hot summer I slept in just in my Drylife cream rubber pants, He had been expecting a late evening visit from the doctor but as by midn...

Who cares if they do? A good way of making contact with someone else into waterproof nylon trousers and similar!

I think the furtiveness one feels when in rustly pants is a part of the fun of wearing them. Some years ago I bought some olive green high-waisted rubber bloomers and matching rugby-style rubber shirt from Sealwear and wore them under my trousers and an open blouson jacket for bus trips into town.

At last, a really torrential downpour in London today, justifying my wearing some really effective rainwear; my long, almost ankle-length shiny navy blue hooded Jeantex PVC raincoat, bought some 12 years ago, for my trip to a chiropodist appointment involving a walk to the local bus stop and two loc...

I was subjected to this by an assertive younger man for a period about 20 years ago. For my stays with him I would be nappied at night (Tena Maxi) in plastic pants under a nightshirt, hands cuffed behind my back and taken to bed with him.

I too remember virtually living in my plastic pakamac from age 10 to age 18, except for travel too and from school when the regulation school gabardine had to be worn. I continued to wear them on and off up to around age 30 by which time plastic packamacs were rarely seen though nylon pakamacs conti...

Being now well into my eighties I am old enough to recall and indeed to have worn a yellow oilskin cycle cape as the first one I owned age about 13. I can recall the characteristic oily smell and the way the material felt when worn; the matching souwester made from the same material too. When I was ...
