The word out of China is that sales of adult diapers are into their annual spike with the advent of the Lunar New Year season, which starts on January 29th this year.
Around 120 million migrant workers are expected to make their way home from the cities for the holidays, in trains that are packed so tightly with people that it becomes virtually impossible to make it to the toilet during journeys that can take as long as 24 hours. Because of this, many people have taken to wearing adult diapers so they can relieve themselves on the spot.
Supermarkets in some areas report a 50 percent increase in adult diaper sales during the period leading up to the holiday season.

China (and Japan, for that matter) is not the kind of country where you can freely take a day off like in western ccountries. In Japan, even if you have paid leave you’re not usually allowed to take them except on pre-decided days.
