Comedian Joanne McNally has divulged one of the most incredible tales we’ve ever heard.
In short, the 40-year-old Irish comic once used a nappy instead of a tampon.
Yep, you heard that right.
It’s hardly surprising that the nappy – designed to catch baby excrement – gave Joanne some pretty solid protection against period leaks.
However, what is surprising is that Joanne claims there’s ‘no going back’ to tampons now for her, as she branded herself a nappy convert.
We suspect the comedian – whose credits include comedy documentary Baby Hater and her brilliant one woman show Bite Me – had her tongue firming in cheek when she went on to describe how she will be a nappy wearer forever more.
But it not, then – according to the star – she’s once even shuffled around Newcastle with a nappy on, contemplating whether to just pee in it rather than find a toilet.

The hilarious tale was told on Joanne and Vogue Williams’ Podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me.
‘So I had no tampons and was like, “I’ll throw on a nappy,” the stand up explained, to which Vogue roared with laughter.
‘And can I just say, there’s no going back for me now,’ she continued.

‘I put on a nappy, strapped myself in, and went about my day. Not a single bit of leakage. It’s basically just a really good sanitary towel with little Velcro bits on the side.’
‘Joanne’s going to be doing a job for Pampers soon enough,’ joked Vogue, as she chuckled away at the ridiculousness of the anecdote.
‘I will say this, I’ve never felt more protected,’ continued Joanne, ‘The whole tampon thing, I’m over it, it’s nappies for me from now on.
‘I will do collabs,’ she continued. ‘There’s no going back from me now.’
But just when we thought Joanne was totally joking, she continued with a real life scenario: ‘And then today I was walking around in my nappy in Newcastle and I really needed to wee.
‘And I was like, I must find a toilet,’ before she changed her mind and concluded: ‘Well, technically I don’t really need to find a toilet.’
And we are officially gone.
