Liquid Death's $75 'pit diaper' that lets you pee during concerts sells out in under 24 hours
If you've ever had a concert ruined by needing to pee then this new bizarre piece of clothing by water brand Liquid Death will something that you might want to consider before your next show.
Concerts are often some of the best nights of your life, as there's nothing better than seeing your favorite artist live in the flesh - especially if you manage to score a great spot and have them up close and personal.
Oftentimes you'll end up having to get to the venue hours before the concert in order to get a great space though, as queues can quickly form as people fight for the best views.

Naturally you can't avoid bodily functions, and while a friend can sometimes save your space for you, going to the toilet can often spell danger for your perfect concert experience - no matter how many hours you were there before the artist came on stage.
New phone cameras can sometimes compensate for this somewhat by giving concert goers up in the nosebleeds a greatly zoomed in view, but there are some gigs that you'll want to be in the action for - even if that comes at the cost of peeing yourself.
Thankfully Liquid Death, in partnership with Depend, have created the perfect product for such a conundrum, which they are lovingly calling the 'Pit Diaper', and you'll have to spend $75 for the privilege for looking like a metalhead baby.
In practice, the Pit Diaper contains "recycled Liquid Death," which then neutralizes any less-than-pleasant odors that might escape the confines of the garment. It also ensures that no leakage will occur, regardless of how vigorously you move, so you can mosh away to your heart's content.
The result is that you never have to leave the action of the pit, and can drink as much as you want without worry that a toilet break would ruin your flow.
While you might think that this will remain a niche product, the $75 price tag didn't put many off as it sold out within 24 hours, leaving lots of prospective pit-goers wondering now when it'll be back in stock.
It remains still yet to be seen how practical - or fashionable - the garment will be in the action, but we're sure that when the lights go down and the music gets loud that nobody will notice that you've just peed yourself.
Social media seems to be in agreement too, both over the ingenuity and absurdity of this particular product.
"As a 50 year old who still frequents the pit, let me just say that I look forward to purchasing these from my local CVS," says one user, whereas another suggests "can you now make a Sh*t Diaper version?" We're not sure how well that would work in practice though.
If you've ever wanted a horrifying image then look no further than this though, as one person suggests that "people are gonna get these just to throw them on stage." If artists thought that drinks were bad, wait until they get a pleather diaper full of urine chucked at their head.
