　　【中文翻譯對照】

　　大多數(shù)兒童在能自己使用廁所方便后都很有成就感，但日本一些人卻自愿重新穿上紙尿褲。

　　據(jù)日本媒體報道，穿成人紙尿褲在日本已經(jīng)越來越流行，尤其是對想節(jié)約時間的女性來說。

　　日本《SPA》雜志近日在一篇題為《懶漢的終極形態(tài)》的文章中描述了這一流行趨勢。這篇文章探討了女性的男性化，比如不像以往的女性那樣愛打掃房間，不剃毛，還穿紙尿褲。

　　一位不愿透露姓名的25歲的女性在過去半年每天都穿紙尿褲上班，她在一家房產(chǎn)中介公司工作。她這樣做是為了節(jié)省時間，也省去了去洗手間的麻煩。但她和男朋友在一起時不會這樣，而且穿紙尿褲時一定會穿裙子，否則會很容易被看出來。

　　像這位女士一樣穿紙尿褲的成年人在日本為數(shù)眾多。今年5月份，日本成人紙尿褲的銷量首次超過了嬰兒紙尿褲。但這主要也是源于日本人口的老齡化，因此需要紙尿褲的人口越來越多。

　　彭博社的一篇報道指出，很多公司正在盡全力拼搶這一新興市場的份額。

　　2008年，日本的紙尿褲生產(chǎn)商舉辦了全球首場成人紙尿褲時裝表演。使用過的紙尿褲也會經(jīng)過攪碎、烘干和殺菌程序，用作鍋爐的燃料芯塊。
