I love the feel of plastic diapers, but don't know of any I'd buy over my favorite diaper, which has a "cloth" cover. So I guess my answer is that the cover isn't the most important thing about a diaper. But I will say that putting on a really good plastic-covered diaper and just rubbing your hands all over it--there's no better feeling. It's been a long time since I've felt this, but as I recall, the Tranquility ATN and Attends 10 diapers felt great. -RMS

How about toilet slaves? Or porcelain servant? Or toilet-tethered? -RMS

Yeah, that went well. And I thought my response was very measured and in good humor. What's up with the personal attack there? -RMS

Kitten, climate change deniers ARE conspiracy theorists. When a group of people stick their heads in the sand and say that the evidence and research of nearly every scientific body just isn't enough for them to believe, that's pretty much the definition. You believe that a vast majority of climatologists and politicians are lying and they have an agenda and you're just too darned smart to fall for all of that "inconclusive" or "made-up" so-called evidence. Folks, sometimes you have to accept that all the weather-related disasters we've been seeing--the ones that keep happening with worse severity and frequency--are not because God hates the gays. -RMS

Funny, I first heard that joke about republicans. I still prefer that version--it just rings more true for me. -RMS

Finally, somone with a brain in this fight. But I have to warn you, Emily, that rolling around in the mud with pigs will only get you dirty, and the pigs like it. Climate change deniers will not be convinced by any facts, no matter how bullet-proof. They have sided with those who eschew science in favor of a blind faith that conveniently allows them to continue consuming the earth's resources with a clear conscience. There is no point in arguing with people like that. -RMS

I swear I'm not a shill for Tena, but if anyone wants to see product videos about the Stretch Super, you can find them here. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm very surprised that these diapers haven't caught on with the AB/DL community. The single wide "Velcro" tabs are not only practical, they also make the diaper more babyish than most diapers. I get that this design came later, and would probably appeal to our younger members than old farts like me, but . . . -RMS

You are not alone. I like the Tena Super diapers a lot, but if you ever get the chance, you've GOT to try the Super Stretch, my favorite diaper. Seriously. -RMS

Well, Guitarzan, that sure is interesting. If you see her every so oten, you might try asking to chat with her a little, and then ask if she had ever tried _______ (Medline, Tena, etc.). That might get the ball rolling,and you might be able to put her at ease. She probably has no one she can talk openly to about this, even her husband (if she's married). I think you have a real opportunity here and I, for one, am very curious to hear what happens next. -RMS

You know, every so often someone comes on here and says something like, "I saw this girl lick and suck her thumb when she got some mustard on it. But the way she did it tells me that she may be an AB." Riiight. But catching someone wearing a Bambino? It doesn't get much clearer than that. He may even be on these boards reading this message right now. How crazy is that? Congratulations on a true rarity: a real AB or DL find. -RMS

I'm not normally one to disagree with Rusty Pins, as his views so often agree with mine. That is to say that he's usually right. But in this case I'm going to have to disagree. Wearing diapers isn't a hobby, at least for me. It's part of who I am. It's part of what makes me tick. I think a better analogy might be one's sexuality. Gay people have a hard time keeping that secret because it is a huge part of what defines them, and they have a hard time connecting with people who don't know who they are. I feel that my diaper fetish is a smaller part of me than my overall sexuality, but it's still a piece of who I am, and no one will every know the whole me without that piece. I get the pull to share that, I really do. But I also know that most people in this world just aren't ready for that, and we all must be very, very careful about the people with whom we share that part of ourselves. -RMS

Yes. -RMS

Yep, I've run into some pretty bad diapers too. I was at a medical supply store some time ago and saw a pack of diapers that cost, oh, about $5. Super cheap. I thought they might be good for those times when I can't wear very long, so I bought 'em. Wow, what a waste of money. I'm not sure they were the same time you found, but all the symptoms are there. Mine were blue, but they could have just been a different size. The name of these horrible diapers? Nightingale. -RMS

I don't wear in public very often, so I don't have a lot of fear about that, but I know that any time you wear a diaper out, there is risk. That was the premise of my story "Accidents Happen." But I do wear at home whenever my wife's not around, so I could easily get busted by her. That would not go well, though it has yet to happen. But then again, I think there is a part of me that wants to get busted. It would, if nothing else, force a conversation. She knows about my diapers, but wants nothing to do with them. But catching me wearing them, while bad in the short-term, could actually be good. But I still dread that. -RMS

Hi, Bunny. You are far from alone and there are many, many people here with similar stories. Most of us probably started with makeshift diapers, but those of us (like me) far too old to have had the Internet at our disposal envy the access you have. Can you imagine not having resources like this available? I thought I was insane for having the desires I have. Now I know that I have never been alone. Just know that while this is one of the rarer fetishes, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. You're not hurting anyone and it makes you feel good. Oh, and one more advantage: you're female. Your chances of finding someone who accepts this part of you is FAR greater than if you had been born with external plumbing. So, well done there. -RMS

I look through the assortment of adult diapers on eBay every so often, and love when I find something new. Not only is the fact that these have a pattern interesting, but it looks like the padding goes all the way up in font and in the rear. Interesting. I don't know of another pull-up with padding that goes all the way up in front. You can see these pull-ups here. -RMS

Um, I think you mean "bariatric" diapers, Ashlee. -RMS

I know I'm starting to sound like a shill for them, but I absolutely love the Tena Super Stretch diapers. And because the things I like about them are practical, I would think they would be embraced by the incon community as well. Here are some things that I think are wicked awesome about them: Cloth-like cover that's really quiet Discreet amount of padding in the front and back, but more in the crotch, where it's harder to detect Absorbent enough to take three good wettings Single stretchy belts on each side with wide "Velcro" fasteners. Not only are these like baby diapers (for you ABs out there), but they're also completely practical and offer a great, snug fit that keeps the diaper up even when wet. Now, on this last one, Tena advertises the fact that this new belt system reduces the number of sizes required, which reduces inventory. See? Very practical. I'll be the first to say that these diapers aren't perfect--leak guards would be nice--but they're my favorite for a reason and I would think that anyone who wears diapers our of necessity would love 'em. There are more absorbent diapers out there, but along with absorbency comes bulk, and past a certain point that becomes a liability in the real world. To me, these are the right balance of performance and discretion. I just don't get why they're not on anyone's favorite list but mine. To me, from a purely practical point of view, this is where adult diapers should be headed. -RMS

They are indeed a training pant, and you can get them here, from nicediaper.com. -RMS

Well, it is the object of our desire, our passion. It is the reason we're all here. It is why I am called a diaper lover and it is the thing that makes adult babies feel babyish. The word has power and we speak its name in hushed tones that bespeak the grip it has on us. We, ironically, are absorbed with them. -RMS

I don't like that I've spent as much as I have (probably around $200)--especially since my wife is currently sans job--but it pales in comparison to what she spends on bird seed. We all have our hobbies, I guess. -RMS

To quote one of my favorite comedians from my childhood, Tom Lehrer, "There are people who do not love their fellow man, and I hate people like that." But seriously, most of us will give the exact same level of acceptance that we want from others. People with no obvious deviation from societal norms are more likely to be closed-minded because they don't require that kind of dispensation from others. The closer you get to someone who deviates from those norms, the more likely you are to be more accepting. You may be straight, but maybe you have a brother or a relative who is gay. One of the most conservative people on the planet--Dick Cheney--is in favor of gay rights and even marriage because he has a daughter who is gay. If you've been poor, you're more likely to sympathize with the needy. And if you're very far from the center, so to speak, like if you're transgendered, you're far more likely to be accepting of other's differences. -RMS

Hi, Diapers, I'm really enjoying this story so far, and hope that you keep things going. It's the first story I've seen that deals with an inevitiable reality of people who are incontinent and, to a lesser extent, diaper lovers. Keep it up! -RMS

The thing that amazes me is the defensive posturing going here. I ask this because I feel it to: Why the feelings of loyalty toward Gary and XP Medical? Why does the thought that KCK might be supplying him with diapers make the blood boil? -RMS

Well, I finally got to try these and they just don't work for me. They're too small for my fat old body, so the elastic that makes them so special doesn't have a chance to do it's job. The person I spoke to at KCK was right that absorbency really isn't what makes them a big deal. They hold one good soaking, but only standing up. I can't even imagine how they would leak if I wet them sitting. And finally, the problem with the shorts style design is that they don't let you create a cup in the crotch as well. Regular pull-ons let you tuck the sides of the crotch up and create a cup that will hold the urine until it's absorbed by the pad. These just don't make that easy. Well, not on me anyway. -RMS
