For an individual simply skimming over the posts in this thread, he/she could easily grasp a preconception of a double standard. "I want to be in diapers but don't want my partner in them." Truly, there is more depth to the topic but, from a brief overview, there appears to be a somewhat selfish underlying attribute. Putting diaper wearing under a psychological microscope, it would be easy to link emotional or deviant socialogical behavior traits to most personal male and female cases. I, of course, would rather just accept the individual's lifestyle by basic understanding and compassion than try to categorize him/her into what could potential be hundreds of underlying causes. Simply put, life is sometimes more enjoyable when you accept the different colour of roses rather than try to sort them all out in tidy rows. Ever try to sort out grains of sand into each geological gendre? Why not just enjoy the beach for the what tickles (or burns) between the toes. Mmmmm, vacactions... In any case, I view a relationship with an equivalent mentality. Ie: if she wants to be changed and diapered, would it be inconsiderate or irrational for him to want the same? A compromise in this situation would be a positive approach, no? Now, of course, I do not know every situation or relationship and would not dare pretend to such but I must ask: if, to some women, diaper wearing men may show signs of insecurity and lack of will, should men see diaper wearing women as a sign of over dependancy or emotional weakness? Again, I am just asking questions. I find, for example, my own self being confident, secure, and strong willed. Smiles to all, Palm Tropyx!

Cautious must be the social path you tread. Society as a whole flows like a river cutting its way through a deep valley. Slowly, through the means of mass quantity and equivalant force, changes will occur but, for the most part, the end destination is still the open waters of the ocean. It can lead you to success or drag you through its ungraceful attributes. It is not unhealthy to periodically view society from the outside. Here, can we truly find ourselves and evaluate the direction of our efforts. In such practices do we also get a chance to evaluate the cummulative results of our social trends. Do we need to follow the wife, two point five kids, and a dog pre-written destiny? Some would actually argue yes while others have gone against the grain. Do we need to wear specific clothes in related events? According to womens' fashion trends, appearantly thin underwear and a sheer nightie is now considered a dinner evening gown. Is marijuana bad in all situations, or are there medical or extenuating circumstances changing the previously rigid ideology on the subject? Do we need 2 cell phones, 26" wheels, giant SUV's, $1000 pairs of jeans, or a 34, 28, 34 body? And what is with us and our complete dependance of fossil fuels? With all the other options viable and ready to be implemented, why does it take us so long to enact? (Check with your local shareholder politicians for further details.) Is wearing a diaper terrible? Residually taboo in the minds of many, the act of wearing a diaper is neither evil or irrational. It is simply wearing a diaper. A brief glimpse of a partially exposed diaper, and some people will appear to have compounding cerebral catastrophies. Imagine the horror should a diaper be fully exposed. People tend to fear what is not understood or normal. Unfortunately, this usually leads to a rebellious lashout. Quite unique is this social attribute as it is a mimic of the way the human body defends itself from ailments. Inflammation, as we have come to discover, is not always withouts its own long-term or permanent damaging affects. (ie: ruematoid arthritis) I write this not to rebute or affirm any of the previous posts as this topic will not realy have any "wrong" answers. Well thought out ideas deserve respect and objective interpretation. What you do with the content is up to you. It is my intent to remind us all, society as a whole is not always following the "right" path, and is not the only standard which should be considered as we find ourselves and carve out our own deep valleys.

Often, when asked what one would find in a garden, the usual answer is some sort of vegetation. Although garden gnomes around the world may feel ignored, the fact is the inevitablility of having a garden is to, well, grow plants. (The species of plant is completely up to the gardener.) Based on the quick nature of the proposition of the question, not surprisingly far less frequent are responses such as soil, fertilizer, tools, a bucket, weeds, and gloves. When one is asked what comes to mind on the word gay, more and more people will relate it to a homosexual male. The idea this word was once easily and acceptably exchanged with happy or pleasant would not cross most minds of the future. Is it me, or do an increasing number of women feel a forum is becoming more about creating an intimate relationship as an inevitable conclusion? Do more men seem to find forum as a "happy hunting ground"? This trend is somewhat disturbing. Acquiring a relationship should not occupy anyone's mind as a priority. It can vastly affect your ability to be more productive and expand your world. If you seek that special someone, he/she will come your way while you continue to live you life. Forums are about sharing experiences, building friendships, experimenting on hypotheses, and working on new ideas. If a relationship does form, it would be mutual based on experiences and communitive understandings on a literature-based medium. Have forums become the new term for "clubbing"? Why do personal walls seem to appear for some people as though the forum itself could pose a risk to one's way of life? I wonder if we are not travelling down the same road of turning the circle of light into a symbol of evil, or evolving the words money glutten into C.E.O.. (Oooh, a corporate dig....) I encourage women and men to post freely here, and not allow false preceptions to ruin your talents of writting. Smiles, Palm Tropyx!

Through the many boards I have seen over the years, the best method for keeping things somewhat orderly is a committed method of moderation. If it says don't, then it is don't. The moderator will simply remove unwanted items. The original poster can resubmit the post after he/she has the opportunity to revise it. Some bulletin boards/forums have the post return feature where the deletion of a post actually returns the post to its author with the option for moderator comments in order to give the author a chance to revise rather than re-write the entire post. Is it democracy? No. Is it close? Sure it is! (If you lie about your income, you can be charged with penalties at tax time - freedom is not without its responsibilities.) Can it be fair and justified? Certainly! Example: If you do not allow smoking in your house, then your smoking friends will smoke outside respecting your rule. If you say quit stirring up trouble by arguing with yourself and your 4 other multiple personalities which causes literacy injustice and irritation amongst other users, then the antagonizer should go to a help site for the mentally fragmented. (Or seek a "air out your dirty laundry" website.) I feel DD's pain, grief, and agony. But hey, such times and duties are par for the course. Smiles, Palm Tropyx!

Good; Better; Best? Bouncing back from this thread and the Abena X Plus thread, I have found many beefs and bouquets for each product. Unfortunately, the appearant similarity of comments for both products has me at an impass for my next purchase. Already knowing the aspects the Abena X-Plus (classic style), I find myself in a conservative position of sticking with what appears to work best. I do, however, have always been one to try new things but struggle to justify this curiosity based on the posts currently published. I would love an unbiased review of the Bambino (white, or printed) vs Abena X-Plus classic in all aspects: absorbancy, leg gathers, leak barriers, waistbands, crinkly plastic (noise is good), etc... With both sides of the scale drawing a conclusion of near equalibrium, the choice is hard to make. At $200+ per purchase, making a bad choice does not only make for bad inventory but bad fiscal summaries as well. Smiles, Palm Tropyx!

Good! Funny, just as I read your last reply, I noticed my keyboard is dirty! Weird what a topic can bring up in your head.... Smiles, Palm Tropyx!

Hi and welcome. For some, you will have an "unfair" advantage on Guitar Heroes! Tell us what gendres of music you like to play on your guitar! Smiles, Palm Tropyx!

Guess what a picnic table, a floor to ceiling wall covering, a fountain pen, a rice steamer, a fire rotissiere meat spike, a soft and super-absorbant towel, a dragon breath fireworks casing, a cozy t-shirt, and a 1800+ square foot jungle bungalow in Thailand all have in common? They are all made of bamboo! You ideas could work but one question: as bamboo fibers are also composed of complex carbohydrate strands, how it would react with urine on big baby's skin... (?)

As if the end of the world was the 49th parallel, somehow Canada is still without a distributor. Why? If the answer is absurd as the intial proposition, I would ponder floating the edges of the Earth in my magical airship so I won't fall into deep space and have all my internal organs violently rip from my body into the vast vacuum of space. I think Mars may have a better opportunity of acquiring distribution sooner yet I hear the atmosphere is equally as inhospitable. Such sadness? Is there any hope. Stay tuned -- or go blind staring at your LCD monitor waiting for the unknown? All in all, either option seems painful! Pouts, Palm Tropyx!

Another hi to you, too! In some cases, simple is better, and so "Have fun here!" sums it up! Smiles, Palm Tropyx!

Welcome! New postings are like streams to lakes. -- I like big lakes.... Smiles, Palm Tropyx!

Plutonic, or not plutonic? You know, there are many places your partner would rather you not go with someone else. Examples of this include, but are not limited to: your bedroom, your wedding day, your honeymoon, and your "valley of pleasure". I could see serious relationship related consequences of having someone else change your dirty diaper! As women adhere more to the emotional side of issues (and men could learn to do so a bit more to avoid certain "situations"), having your genetalia wiped clean by someone else (especially one of the same sex as your partner) could turn into a conflict of jealousy and relationship betrayal. To understand this better, consider this: you walk into a room to find your wife kissing someone else on the lips. What would you think? A what point will she tell you he is her long time friend from high school, and the kiss was but a peck on the lips as they had done many times before? Until then, where is your mind at? Afterwards, how comfortable are you with the "friendly peck" ideology? Will this friendship slowly turn into an affair beyond your line of sight? Has it already begun to do so? Or are you strong enough to trust your relationship together to know she would never betray you? And it is this last question that brings us to your relationship with your wife. Will she be accepting of someone else changing you? Are you beyond the petty fears that tear many people apart, or is there substinance behind the fears to justify questionability of trust? Can you openly discuss such a scenario respectibly, or would you tear each other apart with doubt and disagreement? Where is your current relationship in regards to trust, loyalty, and commitment? I find the best way to handle any circumstance where trust may come to question is to deal with it in a cautious proactive manner. Generally, one of the first questions I ask myself is, would I want anyone doing this with my partner. If I cannot answer the question with sincere indifference, or an absolute lack of doubt, I will refrain from engaging in such an activity with anyone else. Truly, many will say this is common sense. Yet, in today's world of a widening "grey area" (ie: the Las Vegas syndrome") and disarray of public disagreement on what is right and wrong, sometimes simple matters are no longer such as many more threads of consideration will complicate the matter.
