Old Diaper Commercials

[Baby Brian]

I used to love watching diaper commercials, but.... mommy wow, I'm a big kid now.

Here are more old ads that i have found on you tube but they are from the 90's

Kimbies was made by Kimberly- Clark and was the precursor to the Huggies brand of baby diapers.

I think Kimbies didn't sell as well as Pampers in the early to mid 1970's and were discontinued and Huggies brand diaper came out in 1978

Kimbies were plain white and had different tapes from pampers. Back in 1972

Pardon my facetiousness, but I've had big go rounds before with people over this, over on DiaperSpace. There is much paranoia of the site being shut down over posting real TV commercials that you can view on Youtube. Personally, I think the problem is limited to quite a number of people who are not comfortable with wearing diapers to feel like a baby. They're in denial about what it's really all about.

Why haven't they just shut down Youtube then. Problem solved. I get what you're saying though. I've had go arounds on here trying to explain that Loving to wear a diaper isn't the same as a diaper Fetish. I've almost been martyred for it too.

I loved watching pamper comerials too. I was in Pampers for the longest time anyway until I was in youth size diapers. I remember how thick they were and how noisy they were. My mom always plenty of Pampers for me. I always enjoyed running around in them or being in my onsies or rompers. There were always serval times I remember being changed when a pampers comerial would come on. Always been an important part of my life.

Baby Angela, I would be happy to share with you my recollections and knowledge concerning ‘old fashioned’ Pampers diapers. By old fashioned, I am referring to the rectangular style. These were then folded in what was called a ‘z’ or ‘wing’ fold. I don’t know about the wing, but you can definitely see the z by opening the diaper and then looking at how it’s folded from either the back or front.

 

One of the drawbacks of this design was a lot of bulk between baby’s legs. This concern is where the ‘hourglass’ shape came from. (The bulk is something I really enjoy though; I never forget I’m diapered with one of these on.) Originally, however, there wasn’t that much bulk despite the z fold, because Pampers, when they first came out, in 1966, weren’t as thick as they became. Another very interesting fact about very early Pampers is that they needed to be pinned. Of course they never needed plastic panties, but the integral tapes to secure them didn’t come along until 1973.

 

A year earlier, the much loved Toddler size became available. So, the very first boxes of these contained diapers that made mommy need to exercise care. Ah, yes, boxes, those paperboard boxes in pastel colors featuring the contented baby. The baby was wholesale changed (can’t resist a good pun) with the introduction of the Toddler size. The new baby now looked somewhat unreal he was so beautiful, and so happy in Pampers (they sure make me feel happy, too!).

 

I bought my first box of Pampers in November, 1977. I clearly recall that the ‘stay-dry’ lining had just begun being quilted, because the store still had some older boxes which I preferred for some reason. I nearly always bought Pampers, in Toddler size, but did try Johnson & Johnson’s disposable, their Toddler size, which was minutely smaller, but slightly thicker as well. I often bought diapers at the drugstore, not the supermarket, to avoid being seen buying them. Taking them up to the clerk didn’t distress me like being seen by somebody who knew my parents. I actually liked taking ‘my’ diapers up to a female cashier, often along with baby powder, vaseline, and a roll of white medical tape. I don’t think any ever put two and two together, but I wouldn’t have minded if they did, truth be told.

 

I was able to find and buy old fashioned Pampers through 1984. By then they were still z folded rectangles, but a ‘stay dry’ elastic gather had been added. I remember buying a box of diapers with elastic gathers in October, 1983. (The single gather was quite anemic as I recall.) In 1985 I started buying a Kroger brand of old fashioned Pampers called Comforts. I must have done this because Pampers had gone to the hourglass shape, which I couldn’t use. You have to understand that I taped two Toddler size diapers together (remember the white medical tape?), something that required rectangular diapers. I believe I was able to buy Comforts, which always came in the now ubiquitous plastic packaging, for a couple of years before they disappeared and I could no longer find rectangular disposables with a z fold.

 

It was around 1986 that Pampers had absorbent polymers added to them. The polymers allowed for the use of less absorbent padding, creating ‘thin’ diapers. Whether Pampers were ever officially referred to as ‘thin’ I’m not certain, but I do know that P&G produced a ‘thick’ diaper in the late ‘80s. Why, I’m not sure, but mommy knew she was buying thicker diapers. I would speculate that P&G was responding to some distrust about the ability of a thin diaper to not leak. It is also possible that some moms wanted the look of a thicker diaper. I know this sounds strange, but lots of women love diapers because they love babies. Thicker diapers were a way of emphasizing the baby they loved. Thicker diapers appeal to me for the very same reason: I love pretending I’m a baby, and a thicker diaper is simply more convincing.

 

Lastly, I have been able to make my own old fashioned Pampers from today’s adult diapers. I feel very lucky to have made this process discovery because, for me, the most babyish diapers ever were Pampers of the mid-70s. Those are the ones I want to wear as an AB, again, because pretending is aided by reality. The more convinced you are that you’re wearing a baby diaper, the more convinced you are that you’re a baby. Simple as that. I have, however, decided that two features not found in the golden age of Pampers add to my diaper’s babyishness. The first is colorful plastic-headed diaper pins. Of course, Pampers needed pins for many years. Second, I add a colorful tape to the front, a modern feature, but one that ‘proves’ the diaper is for a baby, albeit a rather large one!

 

One final thing: The diapering instructions on the back of the box told mommy to be sure she folded the unpadded plastic at the ends inside the diaper (to fix obvious leak points). I pretend that mommy doesn't bother to do this as she knows from experience that the plastic works its way out as I play or overnight, so my diaper, even when just changed, has that sort of disheveled look.

Okay so I have to know, how did you make your own vintage pampers and are you selling any? Those are the first diapers I remember wearing as a kid
