    • I sat there watching tv for couple of hours. I felt the need to use the potty and I crossed my legs.
    • Yeah. It was the soft diapers and delicious baby formula that sold her, especially after the extremely rough spanking.
    • A bit late to the topic , but so lovely 
    • You nailed it there. It's probably one of the most difficult to achieve. So many stories are centered on the main character, and others stand by as accessories just to fulfill whatever aspect of the story serves the main character. And it's not just defining the main characters. They have to be consistent, and eventually, as the story progresses these evolve.  Personally, I would give my take: Magic to make things easy. I don't mind magic or DD, as long as it sounds feasible in an imaginative way. Not just present it "just because". Like with Harry Potter, magic exists. But it has its definition, its limits, and its uses. Don't just wave a wand, and, "voilá!". Make the reader believe it.
    • Mmm… Traditional British roast nappies:  I’ve been slightly shocked and amazed by what’s going on weather-wise in the Northern hemisphere and in particular, Europe and the UK lately.  As one who lived in the UK for some years, I have UK friends and have been receiving regular reports.  I’d previously experienced a truly “hot” day in London (36C!) and seen what happens (their world ends, or at least breaks down when the roads melt and train lines buckle) but these kind of days were always extremely isolated experiences.  I think I only saw one of them. Not this year.  Now somehow we are seeing wildfires in the British West Midlands.  FFS.  The land that basically invented not-quite-freezing drizzle.  I’m still trying to imagine bushfire smoke drifting across the M6. Whilst what they’re experiencing wouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary in my part of the world, I know that their housing and infrastructure simply isn’t built for sustained heat.  A day here or there that’s actually hot will be simply uncomfortable and inconvenient.  Having days or weeks (or as I do, months) of high day temperatures and warm nights is going to especially suck there.  I have AC.  Lots of it.  I don’t believe any of my UK friends have any.  That might need to change. Welcome to global warming.  It’s not politics (oh that it were, it would be so much easier to fix).  It’s science.  For sure there is a certain amount of hysteria and misinformation swirling around all sides of that topic but the science is inescapable.  The tiny flecks of contrarian ‘science’ suggesting that all these climatic co-incidences are delusional are few and far between, highly selective and increasingly resemble big tobacco’s “science” suggesting that cigarettes are in fact good for you.   Whilst it may not get that much hotter than it has done before, it’s likely to get hotter a LOT more frequently and the heat will last for longer.  It’s the sustained heat that does the damage.  Other places will get colder, wetter or some combination of all of these things: symptoms of shifting climate mega-trends. As somebody who lives in a warm climate all of the time, I was asked this week how I cope with nappies in heat. There isn’t an easy answer.  The fact of it is that we’re swaddling approximately 10 - 15% of our heat-exchanging surface area with thick padding and air-tight plastic.  Nappies are superb insulators.  Then we pee in them (or worse).  Whilst the consequential trapped moisture may improve the thermal conductivity of our nappy, that same fluid entrapment removes any possibility of evaporative cooling and the locally elevated humidity even further inhibits sweating efficacy in the skin that it is covering. Nappies can suck in hot weather.  Sure, there are some strategies I use to take the edge of things. Use PUL, not plastic.  Slightly-breathable PUL waterproof pants are slightly better than pure plastic pants but with the attendant risk of slightly damp outerwear.  Obviously no plastic pants at all might be better but I wear my nappies long haul and so this isn’t safe for me. Lighter disposables (or even, god forbid, pull-ups) can help assuming that their leak-prone dysfunctionality is offset by dehydration-reduced pee volumes anyway.  My experience though is that if it’s hot I will pee less anyway.  I don’t typically need a Rearz Inspire+ mega during the day in the heat season here.  An Active Air almost always suffices.  I might make an exception for a road trip because I’m sitting on my bum in air conditioned comfort anyway there. Ditch the “onesie”.  Use shapewear panties instead.  They will still hold a nappy in place but cover less skin and insulate less. Sleep only in a nappy:  Shelve that romper.  During heat it can be a lot easier to sleep if you ONLY wear a nappy and lie underneath a fan on low speed.  Forget pyjamas.  Forget fashion.  Pray that emergency workers don’t break into your bedroom at 1am. Get used to it:  This is a big one.  The brutal fact though is that is often ISN’T comfortable but to some strange extent, you DO kind of get used to it.   Eventually.  A ‘surprise’ attack by a 35C day when you’re used to it being 20C is always going to hurt.  Your body isn’t expecting it.  It’s like being mugged at a kid’s birthday party.  But when it’s typically above 30C from say, October through to April (welcome to my world) you to a degree go numb to it.  I still complain but I don’t realise how much my internal thermostat has shifted until I have a visitor from cooler climes who dissolves into a puddle of sweat before my eyes wearing nothing more than shorts and t-shirt whilst sitting out in our garden whilst I, wearing shorts, t-shirt, a heavy nappy, plastic pants and a compression pant thought it was a nice day. The thing is though, all of these strategies pale in comparison to the strategy of NOT wearing a nappy during a heat wave. And yet we do it anyway.  Well some of us.  If nothing else, the colour of the front of your nappy come change time is an excellent indicator of how well you are hydrating. The irony here is that our “winter” here in South East Queensland this year has been unusually cool (not cold, just not warm) and wet.  This too is global warming.  The persistent pattern is generated by unusually high ocean surface temperatures off our coast.  The enhanced evaporation from this warmer water pumps moisture into the atmosphere which then falls back out onto my nappy-bearing clothesline onshore as it has been doing since April. I’ve often wondered what it would be like wearing nappies in a truly COLD climate.  Are nappies nicer in the snow?  Does the improved heat transfer of fluid make hypothermia more likely?  Does your wet nappy feel cold?  Will it freeze? Answers on a postcard please.
