One time I accidentally walked in on my mom changing her pad in the bathroom (it was a new one, so I didn't see any blood). Surprised, I asked her what that was. Seeing as I was too young then to understand what a menstrual cycle is, my mom thought up on the spot "it's a type of grown up diaper".
For a long time I thought to myself "well, what's the point of being potty trained if adults end up wearing diapers anyway?"
