AceShowbiz - In a joint interview published by People, Christina Applegate and Jamie-Lynn Sigler shared their experiences with MS. Applegate candidly revealed that she wears diapers due to incontinence, stating, "Well, you pee ... in your pants. Because you probably can't get to the bathroom in time."
Sigler, who was diagnosed with MS in 2016, expressed her dissatisfaction with the current design of adult diapers. "We have a bone to pick with the designers, because who wants a beautiful flower on your diaper? It should really say 'F**k my life,' " she quipped.
Applegate even yanked down her jeans during the interview to show off her diaper, adorned with a floral design. "Adult diapers are a blush pink," Sigler explained. "They usually have some sort of bow or floral design along the pelvic area. Putting on an adult diaper, you're not going to feel sexy."
Despite the difficulties they face, Applegate and Sigler remain positive and find humor in their situation. They pointed out some "benefits" of MS, such as having access to wheelchair seating, boarding airplanes early, and being pushed around airports. "Parking is awesome," Applegate said. "There could be a cure for MS, and I will not give up my handicap placard. We earned it!"
Applegate and Sigler also emphasized the bond they have formed through their shared struggles. "We're in two very different places with MS, but we help each other," Sigler said. "Christina opened me up. I didn't realize how desperately I needed to stop trying to be perfect."
Applegate added, "She's the only person who really knows me. I can talk about anything with her. Constipation, diarrhea ... Bravo TV."
