- A. C. Medical claims that their products are specifically for disabled persons and they are not "fashion items". However, a look at their product lines of which there are many and varied, might make you question that as would the large number of pictures of their merchandise. Also the owner seems to be more knowledgeable about the details of the materials than disinterest would suggest as well as the fact that many of the panties have feminine names (about which I have never gotten any answers) and he liked two of the babydolls I designed, On a picutre and the othe one that I sent him. I was also told by one of the models who had her own site, in a roundabout way about 7 years ago that the owner enjoys what he is doing which is the closest to a direct answer I have gotten. They operate under special tax and postage laws that require them to advertise as strictly for disabled persons and the majority of what they sell like "short medical pants" and various diapers, fit into that category. What can I say except BE DISCREET and you will be well served!! All that I have is much circumstantial and some hearsay evidence that says they are not what they say they are.
- Delivery speed is a bit uneven with A. C. Medical since some of their things are assembled after the order. They get into that
- PAYMENT: A. C. Medical accepts PayPal, which is a big plus. THE POSTAGE FEE IS, FOR ORDERS TO USA, US $ 14 PER PARCEL (NOT PER GARMENT). FOR ORDERS TO CANADA, CANADIAN $ 13. FOR ORDERS TO OTHER COUNTRIES, THE POSTAGE FEE IS US $ 18 (or 15 euro) PER PARCEL. RATING 3 TO 10; depending on how you order
COMMENTS (LOOK & FEEL, ETC): Given the wide range of users of "rubber panties", it is often the case that plastic pants are evaluated on "babyishness". If you are not interested in that, then this next part is not for you. if you were a baby, toddler or wore diapers anytime between 1952 and 1984, and your parents were moderately prosperous and did not use panties made from the cheap grainy material, chances are, you wore "rubber panties" made of material that was smooth and fairly thick, These are more like something that would have been specially made for an"older child" (4 and up) which even in 1953 was very feasible in most families. The thickness varies. The Thinnest material here as the same thicness as the Gerber baby panties that I used to compare shape. In this category, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Head to head with real baby panties; the Gerber panties that are put on Christine's dollies Andrea Lynne and Lisa Michelle. The images are of what we use on Christine. As I said, thery come in a large assortment of materials and colors and we do not heave them all. Click for full size image. I simply put the Gerber panty on top of the Christy so that you could see them both at once. Also, I was unable to make the Christy panties lay flat which shows how full cut they are

As you see, the Christy panty comes pretty close, however, much of your idea of babyishness depends on when you were little. So if you need good "rubber panties" from 1949 to 1984 for a little who needs them to match an outfit as much as for practical purposes consider The A. C. Medical Christy, Susan or one of the others. Being transparent/semitransparent, semi-clear colors or (pink) transparent pearlescent, this would go very well over a print diaper and add a bit of pinache, say to match a dress, and the prints would add to the outfit in their own right. but not for anything before 1955 or 6. In fact all of these would imply that the little one lived in a place where they were made for (usually) her; not that far out and certainly feasible in most families if it were wanted, these would be better for the "older" child and either of the pinks would strike terror in the heart of a 5 or 6 year old little boy: Especially if you added "They were made just for you". But they are "special purpose" panties,.
RATING: 9 depending on your taste. Like all RUFFLES & RIBBONS GRILS' HOME rubber things, they are very showy, which is how we like them to show Little Girl who is My Lady around here
A. C Medical High-Waist Diaper panties score fairly high in most of the categories so I give an overall rating Good to Very Good How you evaluate them depends on whas is importantto you.
The materials used here are also used for other kinds of panties as well as other things, along with rubber, and sold in sheets. Among the other things for which they are used are "sanitary slips" both A-line and full-circle in stadnard and custom lengths form 18" to 41". These are very good items for Little Girls. Some of them are perfect for babydoll sets with matching dress and panties for those "Problem" Little Girls who need special treatment and clothes
