Liquid Death Launches New 'Pit Diaper'

Canned water company Liquid Death has unveiled its latest venture: a Pit Diaper. That’s right; you can wear a diaper while you’re in the moshpit to avoid going to the bathroom at a gig.

According to its advertisement, the Pit Diaper comes with “all-show protection,” cruelty-free pleather (artificial leather), 52 Depend “guards” to protect your clothing, and endorsement from Converge drummer Ben Koller.

It also has a fashion element, with its “premium, cruelty-free quilted pleather, accented with chains and spikes, to seamlessly blend into any outfit.”

“The show can’t be stopped for a bathroom break,” Koller said in a statement (via Consequence Of Sound). “With the Pit Diaper, I can hydrate without missing a beat.”

Liquid Death has made its name with its heavy metal-themed drinking water and iced tea. The company says that its limited-edition Pit Diaper is the “first heavy metal diaper.” It turns out people were pretty keen on owning them, as they’re sold out.

The Pit Diaper is compatible with Depend Guards for Men, which means that you’ll “never miss your favourite song or worry about leaks ever again.”

The Pit Diaper would come in handy for 50% of men surveyed in Winarch Group’s latest Annual Live Music Census of Australia who stated that toilet queues are a major frustration.

According to the Census results, when punters attend gigs, they state that toilet queues are the most significant frustration (59%), with women listing it as a bigger concern than men (67% to 50%).

Winarch Live’s Ewen Craig said of the issue (per news.com.au), “It is still a major problem because most of the big venues, mostly for festivals, are temporary, and they have to bring in toilets.”

Long toilet queues were also cited as a problem in last year’s inaugural Annual Live Music Census. 47% of women described them as their biggest frustration at live music events, while just 27% of men agreed.

On Reddit, punters ask the question: can they survive a whole gig without going to the toilet? Especially if they’re at the barrier, have to weave through a large crowd, and find a toilet that’s not always near entrances at an arena or stadium or the stage at a festival ground.
