I saw this the the other day. Apparently, more common than you might think.   

Chapter 7 Getting the hang of things As the days ticked down toward Friday's studio shoot, the Ambassador group text chat transformed into an endless stream of advice, shared laughs, and mid-day check-ins. It started on Tuesday evening when Ethan dropped a message that sparked a whole debate. Ethan: Okay, real question for the group. Is anyone else tired of Saffron calling these "protective underwear" or "briefs"? Like, come on is not like we're wearing Depends, these things hold a lot. It's a diaper. Can we just call it what it is? 😂 Kiara: THANK YOU!! "Briefs" sounds like what a doctor would say. It’s a diaper! Let's own it! 👏 Leo: Agreed. "Brief" makes it feel like we're pretending. Calling it a diaper actually makes it way less weird. Maya: 100%. Diaper Squad officially formed. Leo: Diaper Squad it is! 🙋‍♀️ Also, on that note... how are you guys hiding the loud tape sound when you change? I don't need my family knowing every time I'm changing. Ethan: LOL! You gotta peel the backings super slow! If you yank them, it’s loud. Slow peel, constant tension. Also, run your fingers over the landing zone first to smooth it out before you press down. Cassidy: Saving this to my notes app, honestly 😭 my mom had to help me tape up on day one because I kept getting the angles wrong. Ethan: No shame, Cass. My dad literally had to hold the front panel up for me on Monday while I figured out which tape went where. By Thursday morning, the physical reality of wearing diapers around the clock had basically normalized. Cassidy spent the afternoon lounging in her bedroom in just a giant oversized crewneck sweater and her pastel-patterned EcoCare diaper. Walking around with her diaper exposed at home felt totally natural now, and using it didn't require any awkward mental prep any more—her brain had started to trust the soft, absorbent core. The final test came late Thursday afternoon. "Cass, I need you to run down to the local market for some things for dinner," her mother called out from the kitchen. Cassidy tossed on a pair of loose, high-waisted linen pants and a top that suited, checking her reflection. The outfit masked the outline of her diaper nicely, though her heart did a quick flutter at the thought of stepping out into public. As she grabbed her shoes, Jenna tossed a backpack towards her and passed her a scrap of paper with the grocery list on it.  "Don't forget your diaper bag, sweetie," Jenna reminded her with a knowing smile. "You've been drinking iced tea all afternoon.” Cassidy caught the bag, checking the contents: a fresh diaper, wipes, barrier cream, and a disposal bag. She shuddered to think of changing in public but it was probably inevitable especially as she was already a little wet as she got in the car. The market was bustling. Walking down the aisles, the faint crinkle of her diaper felt noticeable to her, but shoppers passed by without giving her a second glance. She grabbed the groceries, feeling completely unbothered—until she was standing at the register and felt a heavy pressure in her belly. Standing right there in line, Cassidy let go. The warm liquid flooded the core, swelling the diaper snugly against her hips. She handled it with complete calm, paying the cashier while the high-tech lining locked the wetness away. When she stepped away from the counter, though, the heavy, sagging weight between her legs made it feel obvious: it was time to put the chat's advice to the test. Thankfully she only had a couple of grocery bags. She locked herself in the market's private family restroom and set her diaper bag on the counter. Slipping her linen pants down, the heavily used diaper sagged low, nearly to her knees. Remembering Ethan's tip, Cassidy peeled the top tapes slowly and steadily, keeping tension so the adhesive didn't pop loudly against the quiet room. She unfastened the tapes and pulled the spent diaper from between her legs, she rolled the it back on itself tight, taped it shut, and dropped it in the disposal bag. Then she wiped herself clean and applied a coating of barrier cream before wiping her hands and putting the used wipes in the bag as well. Taking a fresh diaper, she prepped the inner leak gathers so they stood up tall. Leaning her back against the wall for balance, she positioned the back panel, pulled the front up tight between her thighs, and secured the bottom tapes at an upward angle across her hips, followed by the top tapes anchored firmly down. She pulled her pants up, adjusted her shirt, and looked in the mirror. Smooth, dry, and well enough fitted on her first try. Pulling out her phone, she typed a quick update to the squad: Cassidy: First solo public change in the market bathroom: COMPLETE. Slow-peeled the tapes, stood up the leg gathers, zero leaks. 10/10 diaper change. Kiara: QUEEN OF THE DIAPER SQUAD! 👑✨ Leo: LETS GOOO! Sounds like you absolutely crushed it! Ethan: Told you the slow peel works! You're officially ready for the camera crew tomorrow. Maya: So proud of us! We went from terrified to absolute pros in six days. Cassidy zipped her backpack, grabbed her groceries, and stepped out into the afternoon sun with a bright, confident smile.  As she got into her car the group chat notifications exploded. Kiara: You made it sound way too easy, Cass! My first public change on Tuesday was a full-blown comedy of errors. I went into a mall bathroom, and every single time I tried to peel a tape, someone came in! I stood there froze up like a statue holding the fresh diaper against my stomach for like ten minutes waiting for the room to clear out 😭 Ethan: At least you had a stall! I had to change in the single-person restroom at a highway gas station the other day. The lock was super flimsy, and halfway through untaping my old diaper, someone rattled the doorknob so hard the door popped open like two inches! I had to dive across the room and kick the door shut with one foot while standing on one leg holding my wet diaper up with both hands 💀 Maya: ETHAN NO 💀💀💀 Cassidy: OMG Ethan 😭 Did they see anything?! Ethan: I don't think so, but I swear my heart literally stopped beating for three seconds. I ended up holding the door shut with my foot the entire time I applied the tapes on the fresh one. My quad was burning by the time I walked out. Leo: Oh man, mine was at the library on Wednesday afternoon. I was so paranoid about the tape sound that I flushed the toilet at the exact second I ripped each tape open to drown out the noise. I ended up flushing four times just to get one diaper off! Pretty sure the librarian thought I had major plumbing issues. Maya: Mine was at a quiet local café yesterday. The bathroom was tiny, and I didn't realize until I took my used diaper off that there was literally no trash can inside the room—just a little feminine hygiene box! I wrapped it up in like three disposal bags, put it back in my backpack, and walk past the barista carrying my own heavy used diaper all the way home while trying to act completely chill. Kiara: Honestly seeing how we all survived our disasters makes tomorrow feel way less scary. If Ethan can kick-lock a gas station door while half-undressed, we can handle a private studio loft with a professional crew. Ethan: Hey, my door-defending kick was flawless! But yeah, tomorrow is going to be cake compared to this week. Leo: Diaper Squad is ready. See you guys at the studio bright and early! Cassidy laughed out loud, leaning her head back against the car headrest as she puked out of the grocery store parking lot. she felt any remaining traces of pre-shoot anxiety melt away completely. The next day they would see each other in person for the first time since their initial intake and they would all be in diapers. ###   Feel free to offer any feedback. I'm open to suggestions or comments.

I don't know. Good idea or bad?

lol i love it haha... 

Yep.   We have my other site on AWS and people are always saying you can host it on some cheap server, but it's amazing how much stuff is banging away at the site.   Sure, we could make the site contents not visible without a login, but we kind of like it the way it is.
