Good morning!

Here's some more info on Beta pants. I found out several years ago that AC Medical bought them half-made, in other words they were cut as the high-waist pants and sewn on the sides, lacking only the waist and leg elastics. When I discovered this, I asked if I could get them custom-cut to different heights, figuring this would be easy for them as they could just cut them to the side height I wanted before they sewed on the elastics. This indeed turned out to be the case. At that time I had several pairs of standard-height beta pants with wide elastics at the waist and standard leg elastics - #042 in the AC Medical catalog. These have a side seam about 6 to 6 1/2 inches high. I ordered some with the side seam an inch higher and some with the side seam an inch lower. I ended up really liking the lower-cut ones - they feel almost like a bikini-cut but not quite so tight. I'd suspect that Rearz would custom-cut these too - I've found Laurie easy to work with on other semi-custom orders.

Here's a list of plastics I've gotten from either Rearz or AC Medical.
~ translucent (tl) red, medium blue - quite soft, very smooth.
~ semi-opaque pink - very smooth and shiny on one side, not quite so smooth on the other side, a bit crackly until it warms up.
~ tl tangerine/amber or clear as in Angela plastic pants - very smooth and soft. They have another tl plastic that's a bit thicker, not so soft but still smooth that's likely to be used for custom orders.
~ tl clear, used in Beta pants - a bit thicker, slightly noisy but quiets nicely when warmed up.
~ orange/blue butterfly print - very smooth, very soft. Feels nicer than almost any vinyl plastic. For a long time I resisted getting anything in print, but I have several items in this.
~ tl blue print with duckies and bunnies and polka dots - very smooth, not quite as soft as butterfly print. I have one panty in this.
~ opaque pink, yellow, dark blue - not quite as soft or smooth as others, but still not what I'd call textured at all.
~ tl clear, taffeta pattern both sides, quite soft, Rearz' term for this is "frosted vinyl". I have several skirts in this; the plastic feels noticeably different on my legs when I walk.
~ silvery tl clear (Alpha) - very smooth and soft, really nice feel.
~ tl clear (Alpha) - very translucent, not quite so soft but still smooth.
~ opaque white - very smooth and soft.
~ opaque white - taffeta pattern one side, other side smooth, soft.

Sometimes I'll wear a bikini under bloomers or under a full-cut panty. Not that often though....

Well, I'm a plastic lover through and through. Soft smooth vinyl plastic makes my entire epidermis an erogenous zone. Whatever else I'm wearing that's plastic, I'll be wearing plastic panties too. I sleep in them every night - I find it easier to get to sleep, I sleep better, and love the feeling when I wake up wearing them. As to which kind I like best, it's generally the kind I'm wearing at the moment.

If it feels cheap, I suspect that may be because it is. I remember reading quite some time ago that the taffeta pattern first came into use to disguise imperfections in the surface of the plastic film caused by irregularities or foreign material on the rollers used to extrude the film. Therefore it takes a well-run plant operation to produce a blemish-free smooth surface.

True. The reason that happens is that plasticized pvc is actually a mixture - not a chemical compound - of polyvinyl chloride with plasticizers, which can be present up to 50%. Pvc itself is the hard stuff that window frames or water pipes are made of, and it requires the plasticizer to make it soft and useful for plastic pants. But over time the plasiticizer is inevitably lost, and as most of us know this loss is accelerated rapidly by contact with oils, not so rapidly by contact with soapy water or urine.

Gary pants with a texture are available from a couple of places. If you look at LL Medico or Plastic-pants.com, the solid-colored opaque vinyls are all textured. Also, the red plastic pants available from Tiger Underwear (which are also Gary pants) are textured.

Since I'm new here I'm still poking around on the tops of things. Even though I'm strictly a plastic lover I like to read people's stories about how they started - whether it's about wearing diapers or plastic pants or even cross-dressing, because of the similarities among them. I'm pretty sure it's just by chance that I ended up being a plastic lover rather than a dl.

Maybe the original ones you had were AC Medical Alpha or Protex Glazed Ice (which are essentialy the same pants). Those became unavailable a few years ago - without knowing for sure, I suspect that their manufacturer quit producing them for some reason as they became unavailable from both those vendors at about the same time.

Couple of things....
~ on wool soakers. I was born in 1939, and my mother told me that was what she used on me when I was in diapers. I didn't get hooked on plastic until sometime between 5 and 10.
~ on polyurethane. Since i wear plastic pants or other garments directly against my skin, the way it feels is very important. That's where polyurethane plastic fails for me - it simply doesn't have the fine feel on my skin that vinyl plastic does. Nor does rubber or polyethylene. PEVA has an almost acceptable feel but is far too crackly for my taste.
~ skirts from AC Medical/Rearz. I love those, probably have a couple of dozen, both straight and circle.

I'm not really a diaper guy but a plastic pants lover. Or a plastic lover in general - love to wear almost anything if it's made from soft vinyl plastic.
-
I'm just a plastic pants wearer. Generally I like mine to be on the snug side as long as the elastics aren't too tight.

They bought out AC Medical which had been one of my main suppliers. So far I've bought quite a few plastic pants, skirts, and dresses from them. They're a good outfit and have always shipped quickly (except of course on a custom order). I'll be dealing with them again.
