Hmmm... Insert aka the diaper doubler

Shortall. What do goats have to do with AB?

Agreed this is a great shot. Sometimes a simple 'butt shot' can be highly appealing. What type of diaper is that? I'm guessing a Goodnite but not sure.

I have seen this type of complaint in other volunteer activities. "Why don't board members do this" or "I want an answer to this issue now" We can only ask a volunteer to do so much, they have lives outside of this website. If you don't like how it is being run step up and volunteer to help out. I've seen a lot of good volunteers quit because all they heard were complaints on their message boards. Don't just complain, step up and help out DD!

Not sure we want to stop the crotch shots all together but a few less would be nice. I wouldn't want the editors to have even less material to choose from then now. The photo gallery would never get refreshed...or at least a lot less. Thanks for all the work! B.

China Daily August 11th, 2006 http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2...tent_349150.htm 'Open-crotch pants' make way for disposable diapers One of the indelible images of China for foreigners is that of the cutie-pie baby wearing the pants with a giant hole on the bottom - known in Chinese "kaidangku" (literally "open-crotch pants"). A baby wearing open-crotch pants crawls on the ground. Theose pants nowadays make way for disposable diapers. [file photo] One might even catch a Chinese toddler relieving himself, right on the street. Visitors may find this disgusting, or delightful, but they may not see such sights any longer, at least in the cities. China's famous split pants may soon be eclipsed by the disposable diaper. Urban consumers are deploying the diaper and making China one of the world's fastest growing markets. Annual sales for some brands are climbing by 50 percent or more. Upscale stores are no longer carrying split-pants outfits, instead, shelf after shelf of diapers. Just about all of the babies who grace China's sleek parenting magazines are wearing diapers. Maximum Convenience with Minimum Coverage With a look of intense concentration on his face, 21-month-old Zhang Xueyang explores the playground, ducking under swings and slides as fast as his legs can carry him. Suddenly, he stops in mid-stride and squats, the seam of his pants parting smoothly to allow him to urinate on the concrete. Zhang is able to pee thanks to kaidangku. Such pants have been popular in China for decades. The principle is clear: no-fuss waste disposal. They're split down the middle-in front and back-and provide what many parents say is maximum convenience with minimum coverage. But in recent years, with China's rapid economic development creating a growing middle class, rising incomes and more sophisticated lifestyles have pushed many parents, particularly those in big cities, toward disposable diapers. 'It's More Convenient and Healthier' "Split pants? That's so old-fashioned!" said Annie Cao, who was shopping at a department store in Shanghai with her two-year-old daughter, Celine. "It's not hygienic. It's bad for the environment. Only poor people who live on farms wear them." Celine, naturally, wore diapers before she was toilet-trained. But when Cao, 37, was asked what she herself wore during infancy, she paused, then smiled. "I don't remember," she said. "Maybe the split pants." Dai Yuhua, 33, who runs a fruit store in Shanghai, said, though, that when her first child, now 11, was a toddler, Dai did not know that disposable diapers existed. But now, with her one-year-old second child, she uses the split pants only on extremely hot days. In the late 1970s, when Mao-suit grays and dark blues were the norm for adults, children's vividly hued kaidangku were the only splashes of color on Beijing's drab streets. But in Beijing these days, bare baby bottoms are an increasingly rare sight-even on sultry summer afternoons, when kaidangku used to be almost a uniform for toddlers. "They're so uncivilized," said Su Shaojuan, a cashier from the southern city of Guangzhou who has a two-year-old son. "People nowadays have more money, so they use diapers. It's more convenient and healthier for the child and parents." Part of it is undoubtedly purely hygienic, a byproduct of the Chinese government's years-long effort to spruce up its urban areas and, it says, steer people away from unclean practices. Many cities have outlawed indiscriminate garbage dumping, public urination by adults and street spitting. And a country that's inviting the world in for the Olympics in 2008 hardly wants visitors to see public spaces used as toilets. At the New Mommy Post-Delivery Care Center in Beijing, new mothers are advised to use diapers regardless of cost, said Zhang Yue, head nurse of the facility. "They're cleaner, healthier and disposable. Babies wearing the split pants are easily catching a cold, diarrhea and even suffering urethritis," Zhang said. Zhao Zhongxin, a professor at Beijing Normal University's Education Science Research Institute, goes even further: The split pants, he says, have become a social indicator of sorts. "Children in the cities do not wear kaidangku anymore. But children in the countryside still do," Zhao said. "This is the difference between the minds and living conditions of rural people and urban people." "In the past, people did not have a strong sense of hygiene," he said. "Now parents are usually very busy and do not have time to help the children to relieve themselves." Disposable Diaper Sales Have Risen Sharply in China These days, China's disposable diaper market is well over $200 million a year, and surging, particularly in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. At a branch of the Jingkelong supermarket chain in Beijing, hundreds of multihued diaper packages are piled atop each other in one aisle and brightly patterned samples are on display. Prices range from about $1.80 for a package of 20, to $12 for 60. "They're more popular in winter because it's too hot in summer," said a sales assistant who would give only her family name, Li. "They may not be as comfortable as kaidangku, but the standard of life is rising and sales are rising with it." Kimberly-Clark, producers of Huggies, estimates that sales in the entire China market are growing by 20 to 40 percent each year. Procter & Gamble says its annual sales of Pampers, introduced in China in 1998, are growing by better than 50 percent. Its own research indicates that 50 percent of babies in Shanghai now wear diapers during the day, and 90 percent at night. "Pampers promotes overnight dryness, and it helps baby to have a good night's sleep," said Yvonne Pei, associate director of external relations for Procter & Gamble in China. "If baby doesn't have good sleep, baby doesn't have good mental development." Unicharm, a Japanese company that produces the popular Mamy Poko brand, said in its 2002 report that it intended to invest in a new plant in Shanghai to make diapers. About a dozen domestic companies now distribute diapers widely, too. One Shanghai company, Goodbaby, started selling diapers in 1998, and later added a toll-free information line. Typical questions dealt with how to change a diaper and how long a baby should wear a diaper before a change. "We are trying to change people's thinking about diapers," said Tang Xiaoyun, a sales and marketing assistant for Goodbaby. "Some people, especially farmers, may think they are too wasteful." Or too expensive. Though diapers are slightly cheaper here than in the United States, the average cost of about 15 to 20 cents each remains unaffordable for many Chinese. In the first half of 2003, the per capita income of urban residents was $520, while in rural areas it was $139. But some people still swear by split pants. One mother from Zhejiang, who was watching her child frolic on a commercial strip, said split pants were more comfortable for the children and helped prevent diaper rash. Mrs. Wu, the 21-month-old Zhang Xueyang's mother, remains unconvinced. "Even if people don't think it looks good, that's a minority opinion," she said. "This is a Chinese tradition."

I'm going to be in Vegas in a couple of days and was hoping there might be a store that sold cloth diapers and other DL merchandise. Anyone know of a store? Thanks, B.

Well I've done some research so here are the results. I can buy adult diapers in China at a Supermarket. The brand sold are Dr. P which are thin and not very absorbant. They do have a rose design on the front however cute designs are not of interest for me. Finding Abena, Depend, etc will be very difficult. Not sure what I will do however I may take cloth pull-ups and plastic pants with me. Decisions decisions...

This is an odd question but...Can you buy diapers in China? What is the quality like? How easy are they to purchase (do they have drugstores there)? I have heard of a newstory about Chinese wearing on trains due to inadequate bathroom facitilities however I know nothing else. I'm moving there later this summer and I was curious. Thanks.

I don't know why, I should think it is highly erotic but I just found it really weird. I guess having someone flaunt their diapers that much isn't a bit of a turn on. Its more sexy to conceal than reveal. I was impressed how well the guys did take the gag. They didn't run, instead were level headed and asked a few questions. Even when the women took it over the top by announcing publicly they were going to pee together and doing it, but the guy just sat there a little confused but he just sat there. BBoy

Johnee I'm glad to see you are handling this bout of incontinence well, it sounded for a while like you might be getting depressed trying to adjust to changes in your lifestyle. One question Johnee...Once you are cured and don't have to wear any longer, will you still wear? Would you consider a simillar treatment if it could be for a shorter period of time? Thanks for your entries they have been enlightening.

Does anyone know of a website for spousal help for partners who are DL/AB?

Give a shout if you are from New Brunswick or the Maritimes. If there is enough interest we could get our own DiaperFest together this summer! BBoy toddlerbboy@yahoo.ca - in Fredericton

Agreed Rabbitza. I'm not incontinent and enjoy having full control. The idea of be forced to deal with the problem permanently for the rest of my life does not sound entertaining. If it were posibible to loose control of my bladder for a few days, week or maybe two, I'd sign up tomorrow. The idea of not being able to stop myself from wetting and being forced to wear a diaper is a fantasy for many of us. However I realised dreams are not always the same as a true reality.

I must agree that for most people on this site it would be pure fantasy to run around in only a diaper. The idea of it does interest me and I have to say it would be great to walk around in only a diaper and t-shirt just to say"Hey, I'm a Diaper Lover and I think this is great!" Unfortunately living in a small town would make like a little unbearable. However, it would be awesome to have a Day of Education, where a mass walk could be organised. Have 50+ adults walking down the street in nothing but a diaper and t-shirt would let society know we are not just a couple of underground freaks but an organised group of people from various walks of life and of various incomes/backgrounds who enjoy wearing diapers. Someday we will be may considered odd but not dangerous or perverted.

Let's see who might be out there...or here actually. Anyone here from Atlantic Canada? I'm in Fredericton, New Brunswick Thanks, BBoy toddlerbboy@yahoo.ca

Sorry to be a downer but this thread is not about how you or someone else can become incontinent. This is really more about how someone has already become incontinent and his experiences dealing with it. If you want to find out more try the thread "Make Me Incontinent" http://www.dailydiapers.com/board/index.php?showtopic=3198

Although you make some interesting comments, it does not neccesarily mean Johnee is incorrect. In each case it can be different due to different doctors, medical systems and health plans. Again. Thank you Johnee you are giving us an interesting look into a different world. Hope life is getting better.

YeOldeDiapers has the right idea on this. Going around telling people "Go see your doctor" is a little soon. This was a single incident if there was a patern of incontinence I would definitely be concerned. It only happened once, so I'm not worried. Actually I thought it was pretty fun, to have that single episode. Just a brief glimpse into what is like be incontinent. However I'm happy it was only once and not something bigger.

I agree that telling your girlfriend about your fetish can be important for building trust in a relationship. Obliviously telling her right away can be hazerdous. Trust in any relationship takes time to build. I don't expect any girlfriend to tell me all her inner most secrets within a month, eventually I would expect her to tell me but not right away. Your approach to the conversation is also important. Don't just come out and say "I have to wear diapers because they make me feel good." That approach wouldn't work for her nor would it work with me if you pulled that trick. With my latest girlfriend we saw a show on TV which had a scene where a woman momentarily walked through with a diaper on. Before thinking about it I said "Hey cool!" She asked what that was about and all of a sudden, confronted, I just told her I thought a woman in a diaper was cute, I thought diapers were sexy. I didn't make a big deal of it, nor did I ever create an expectation that I wanted her to be involved with the diapers. The topic was never brought up again however one time she did find this message board open on my computer and dismissed it because she already knew about the fetish. To her this is my form of pornography, its not quite correct however she has a level of understanding . I also do not wear diapers in her presence however someday (someday...) I expect she will suggest using one for play. Because she knows diapers are a turn-on she now has the chance to introduce it only if she wants to. Maybe down the line she will also be comfortable with me wearing them around the house. That is good enough for me.

Well a few months ago I went to the therapist and for the first time told someone that I like to wear diapers. After a couple of sessions and questions from the therapist I was very surprised by his answer. "No. There is nothing wrong with you." That in its self was not completely surprising but his suggestion that my diaper fascination was fine, did make me scratch my head. The therapist said that the diapers are fine. It doesn't affect my life and how I go around in public. Yes I have worn diapers under my regular clothes in public however since I don't go playing baby in public nor do I force my lifestyle on others he suggested that my diaper fetish was completely normal and healthy. A little background. I am a DL, who rarely has worn in public. I love to write Age Regression Stories and surf the net for pics of women in diapers. I went back for multiple sessions (it was free as part of the counselling services provided at the university). We talked about my sports and various interests. He suggested my fascination with diapers arises from a desire to be out-of-control. Much like the way I like to ski (snow skiing) where I'm constantly pushing myself to the verge of loosing control. This desire to be out-of-control lends itself very well to diaper wearing. I like to let me bladder go and I like to pretend through stories that I am loosing self-control (age regression, diaper changes by others, etc) which I write in my stories. In real life I exude a fair amount of control and am probably an A type personality. As an example he mentioned that many business leaders have the opposite personality when at home in private needing an escape. As such they enjoy being submissive with their partners. So the therapist suggested I keep going the way I am and not beat myself up over the fetish. The worst thing I can do is tell myself I'm disgusting or strange. In doing so I erode my self-confidence and my ability to enjoy life. I know these sessions with the therapist did wonders for my self-confidence. Hopefully some of my experience will rub off on others in this community. I know most of us beat ourselves up over our love of diapers. Enjoy. Steve

True however it only happened once. So I doubt there is a prostrate problem.

So how does it go?

Its not very important in the history of DL/AB but it was an interesting situation. Last night I actually wet myself without any conscious effort by me. I was fiddling with something in the bathroom and leaning forward against the counter. Not paying attention my bladder suddenly announced I needed to go to the bathroom (nothing drastic but a little pressure to remind me). All of a sudden I was peeing, I didn't have anytime to stop it, it just started on its own. It was pretty cool.
