“It’s funny til it’s not,” said Orlando Mendez, 38, who was hawking the plastic panties on Sixth Avenue near West 44th Street. “Desperation sets the price.”

Mendez of The Bronx had already “discreetly” sold two pairs of the diapers, for $50 each, to two women, one youngish and the other middle-aged, by noon on New Year’s Eve.

“Surprisingly, a lot of people are already wearing diapers,” he said. “The early birds and the die-hards know the game.”

One of the diaper hawkers said a female reveler revealed she already had on four of her own pairs of adult diapers.

Mendez said his potty-centric hustle was inspired by the cash he recently made slinging Christmas trees.
“I had been selling Christmas trees and I felt like this was the next holiday thing,” he said.
