I took your recommendation and ordered some of the baby-pants contoured diapers. They should get here next week. These appear to be exactly the kind of diapers I've been looking for. I much prefer gauze over birdseye because it's so much softer and absorbs quicker than any of the other materials.

I don't normally go around staring at people's crotches or behinds. However, since I wear diapers regularly, I can easily recognize the signs that someone is wearing something other than normal underwear. At a corporate business meeting one time, I heard the telltale rustle of a disposable diaper and the slight smell of baby powder when another guy there walked by me. While shopping or on the street abnormal bulges in the seat or sides of some people catch my attention. Then I do tend to stare somewhat while I try to determine if they a really wearing a diaper. However, I try to do it surreptitiously so as not to embarrass them or myself. You notice that in nearly all cases, it takes one to know one.

I have vague memories. Surprisingly, these occurred when I was probably about 6 years old. So, you'd think my memories would be clearer. My only explanation is that being diapered at that age was sufficiently traumatic that I suppressed the memories of those experiences for years. I remember having a messy diaper changed on a picnic table at a roadside stop in plain view of a bunch of strangers. Being 6 years old, I was thoroughly embarrassed at having strangers see me have my diapers changed, particularly one that I'd soiled. I also remember my mother be irritated that I'd pooped in my diaper and at having to clean me up. This scene was replayed many more times during that family vacation. I don't remember any specifics about those. The first one made an impression, though. However, after the first time, I was desensitized to the experience and didn't really care who saw me while having wet or dirty diapers changed.

I've done it, only in a river. Once the diaper gets wet, it saturates and is no further value for containing urine. As you move around, the inner lining tears and you end up with the absorbent gel beads all over the place. I was wearing a swim diaper over the disposable at the time. I'm still picking those beads out of the swim diaper's lining a year later. Don't worry about peeing in your swimming trunks. Just get in the water and get out again. That way no one can whether you're peeing or just dripping pool water. I think most pool owners would prefer that you pee in the pool vs. replacing the pool filters because they are clogged with the innards of a disintegrated diaper.

I wouldn't recommend swimming in anything other than a cloth diaper; particularly in a pool. Disposables disintegrate very well. I would ask why wear a diaper at all while swimming unless you are bowel incontinent as I was when I was younger.

I know a out the long drying times very well. My night diapers take about 2 1/2 hours to dry. I got an answer from B-P. They do have a soaker just like their pre-fold diapers.

It may have been Warpiper. I was talking with earlier. Thanks for the welcome.

Yes. Nothing there either.

Do you know if the baby-pants contour diapers have a soaker in the middle or not?

I believe I filled out the registration correctly and the system told me to expect an email message shortly. The message was never delivered. I verified that the email account is active by sending a message from another account. I asked for a resend of the validation and that never arrived either. Any idea what the problem is?

I can give you a little different perspective about diapering a kid longer than is necessary. Here is what happened to me. We lived in a trailer at the time. This was the early 1950s and trailers then had no indoor plumbing. I was daytime toilet trained by the time I was 2

Selecting a brand of cloth diapers is often a case of simply finding ones that are available and that fit. At least, that has been the case for me. Personally, I like the ones available from Lovingcomfort.com. The problem is that the company has been unreliable. When I was your age, the 21x40 gauze baby diapers fit me quite well and worked very well when 2 or 3 layers were used. These are often available locally. Plastic pants I get from angelfluff.com. I prefer their "Professional" model. My experience is that cloth diapers work better at night than disposables. I'm a bed wetter and I tend to sleep on my side. Disposables don't have enough padding on the sides, so I often leak when I've tried using them at night. I also often change positions during the night. Unprotected disposables are often torn. So, some sort of elastic pants are needed to hold them in place. The feeling while using cloth is not much different than using a disposable. Cloth diapers feel wet because the saturated cloth is in d,irect contact with the skin. Disposables have a protective layer next to the skin and the urine is captured in an absorbent layer below. So, they tend to feel dry until they get very wet. Clean up is the biggest difference. Disposables you take off and throw away then clean yourself up. Cloth diapers need to rinsed out and stored until you do the laundry. Plus, you need to launder them within no more than five days or they can start to mildew.

Mine didn't pass. It got stuck in the ureter. The urologist had to go in and pull it out then put a stent in to keep the ureter open afterward. The doctor attached a cord to the stent to it so he could pull it out after three weeks. The irritation of the stent and the cord made me incontinent for the whole period and for nearly a week after the stent was removed.

I was a bedwetter until I was 8 years old when I finally outgrew it. I did have the occasional accident over the years. However, when I was in my early 50's the wetting incidents started increasing in frequency. Now it's an every night occurance.
