Hey @Boby , to answer your question: both my Tena and Molicare diapers do indeed have double tapes. So there is room for one mistake if I get the tapes in the wrong place. Thing is, I don’t like using the double tapes for that purpose. The double tapes let you remove the diaper and put it on again if you need to, and I like to have that option available to me. I don’t do #2 in my diapers and in fact I only occasionally do #1, so being able to take it off and on is important for me.

I put my diapers on standing up. All these years I’ve done the bottom tape first. I just tried top tape first. Total revelation! I’m currently in my best-fitted diaper in living memory. So much better. Thanks for the tip @Boby !

Re: posting to old threads, I have no problem with it. The ever-popular “what diaper are you wearing now” thread is 3 years old now and nobody seems to mind. There are other recurring topics like who have you told/how was your first time/why am I a DL. I see no reason to create a new thread each time. Maybe the solution is for these topics to be pinned so that they’re always visible? Re: wearing in public, I have done so for years, but today was a milestone: I wet in public for the first time. Just wanted to try it for kicks to see how it felt. Was a bit weird. Kept checking my jeans to make sure I hadn’t leaked. I went home soon afterwards and took the diaper off straight away. Probably won’t do it again.

@Little BabyDoll Christine, that is a good point. I never thought of it before but you’re right. I binge on other things too. I get interested in certain topics or certain hobbies and pursue them obsessively for a while, then I move on. I guess diapers might be just another thing I binge on.

When I’m putting on a diaper, I spend quite some time before deciding where to put the tapes. It’s a point of no return, at least for the diapers that I use (Tenas and Molicares). If you get it wrong, it’s too bad because you can’t move the tapes without tearing the backsheet. And I am very particular about getting my diaper taped just right. I want it totally symmetrical, snug but not too tight, and I want it neat and tidy, without it looking scrunched up. So that moment of placing the tapes is totally key. Just thought I’d share. Anyone else relate?

I am little unusual in that I usually don’t wet my diaper. For me, it’s all about the wearing, not the wetting. But I do occasionally wet, and I would say the enjoyment comes from the wetting providing a further reminder that I am in a diaper. I like to be constantly aware of the sensations of being diapered: the thickness of the padding, the crinkle of the plastic, the warmth. Wetting is one more sensation that I (occasionally) like to add to that list.

Thanks for the tip, @dondl2. You’re right: I had exactly that problem yesterday. I’ll try your technique today. That small problem aside, I love the Molicares. They are my new favourite diaper. Just the right amount of thickness for me. Enough padding that it feels like I’m in a diaper when I’m wearing one, but without so much that I have to waddle.

When I first started wearing diapers, I went through the classic binge/purge cycle. When I purged, I would feel disgusted with myself, throw out my stash and swear I’d never touch a diaper again. Until of course, the urge returned. These days, I still binge. At some point during the binge (usually after a week or so), the desire to wear disappears and the binge ends. The difference now is that I know and accept I’ll want to wear again at some point, so I don’t throw out my stash. I also no longer feel disgusted with myself. In between binges, the thought of wearing is just… meh. So I’ve gone from binge/purge to binge/meh. Anyone else like that?

I have worn to work many times. I find it a bit stressful. I keep checking to make sure my diaper isn’t visible above my waistline. Which raises the question: why do I do it? I would say two reasons: firstly I get a kick out of the adrenaline. Secondly, when I’m going through a diaper-wearing period (I binge on them occasionally rather than wearing constantly), I find NOT wearing to be more stressful than wearing.

Ok @Dartplayerinwvc, you convinced me. Behold my single-fold Molicare diaper.

Re folds: Mine aren’t folded like the photo you sent. They are folded in half, not in thirds. Re privacy: phones tag your photos with location and other details that can identify you. I’m sure there’s a way to remove that data, but I don’t really want to try figuring it all out. I prefer to stay anonymous ☺️

@Dartplayerinwvc, they are Molicare Slip Maxi. Reluctant to post a photo for privacy reasons but if you picture the diaper folded in half, rather than into thirds, then you get the idea. Looking at the review on Diapermetrics, it would seem that in the past these diapers had two folds. So I’m guessing it’s a recent change to the way they are packing them. As I say, I like it because it makes the diaper look huge, which is cool. But the downside is that it would make it hard to store spares in a bag/backpack if that’s your thing.

I only indulge my diaper fetish every few months or so and I just bought some diapers for the first time in a while. Some Molicares, to be exact. I was surprised to see that they only had one fold instead of the two folds I’m used to. Is this a thing now? Or is it just Molicares? With only one fold, they look enormous coming out of the pack. I was thinking: I’m going to be wearing THAT? I’m not complaining. In fact it was kind of cool.

When I was young, baby diapers were plastic-backed, and I developed a fetish specifically for plastic-backed diapers. But baby diapers all went cloth-backed a while back now. So I’m curious to know whether younger DLs go for cloth-backed diapers. Or if the youngsters prefer plastic-backed, then why/how is this, since presumably you didn’t grow up seeing plastic-backed? Any youngsters among us care to comment on this?

I love reading first diaper stories. I started out buying baby diapers and stuffing them down the front of my crotch. With a bit of imagination, I could pretend I was wearing them. Then I discovered that adult diapers existed. My first pack was Tena Slip Maxi. They felt amazing. I still wear them to this day. I’m in one right now.
