SunOfSheep Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I don't know why, but I get fairly annoyed by people who call diapers pampers... I don't know why. Link to comment

Little BabyDoll Christine Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 That has been going on for decades, just as "rubber pants" means any waterproof panty because thaey were the predominant one for 80 years, Pampers is "the mother of all throw-away diapers" and "diaper" meant cloth diapers that you pinned on All colas are "cokes" and all boxed tissues are "kleenexes" 2 Link to comment

She was sweet about it. I went in for my Psoriasis cream, but he noticed I was having back issues from when I cleaned out my office and offered shots to loosen the muscles up. Said yes before I remembered I was in a diaper and cover as I was running errands. Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Well, You wanted to be "Da Baby". I do not complain when I get called "Little Miss Sprite" by a GG who is aware of my feminine side. It has to do with my real last name and an ad campaign featuring a mythical citrus fruit. I do comoplain when she calls me "Chrissie" 1 Link to comment
deewet Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Southern nurses may be cute and all but still calling an adults diapers "pampers" seems a bit over the top. 1 Link to comment
DailyDi Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 No, she wasn't calling me a baby. A lot of people here just call all diapers Pampers. In a way it takes some of the stigma out of it, I think. It's just a common pamper to keep you dry! Link to comment

Kaliborio Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 The problem with Pampers is if they were scaled up to adult-size they'd be practically unwearable. Bigger than Bambinos. Link to comment
wetatnight Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I would like to try a scaled up version of Pampers or Huggies Link to comment

SalsaQueen Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I actually hate the word "pamper". It's like nails on a chalk board. Link to comment

Little BabyDoll Christine Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 18 years ago in April, I had surgery and had to stay overnight. At about 10:00 PM, the nurse, named Chrsitne, came in to givem me the 4 hour interval IV's of Painkiller and antibiotics. When she was done, she asked if there was anything else I wanted. As a joke I said "Do you have any diapers" and she said "yes". Next I asked "Do you have any rubber pants" to which she said "no" to which I said in a tone of voice revealing that it was a joke, "Well, forget it" Link to comment
rusty pins Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Often people will refer to adult diapers Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Did anyone ask the approximate age of the nurse? If I know anything about Bambinos (translation" "Baby"), A "great beauty" would resemble a Pamper more than a Depends. I suspect it is not shy and I wonder what its "crinkle factor" is. If it is as I suspect, she may have got an AB leitmotif. One time, one of my LG dresses got a seam rip and I took it to a generic cleaning company that also did repairs, when I went to collect it, the lady said "here's your little dress". My response was "Thank you. I will defintely be the Princess of the teaparty tomorrow night" Link to comment
Amyuser Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 We have both a school for nursing and a medical school here and they ae all taught to Fer to anything diaper as Attend or Attend' s my last trip the the health jail I cracked up the Nurses because every time they said attend/s I said I don't wear them they are cheap diapers , and the made hem laugh because patients a lot older and younger than me did not use or wear diapers ( insert your favorite euphemism here) and they just loved how down to earth I was about needing and wearing diapers and completely rejecting all euphemisms, many patients can be half dead but will protest if you come anywhere near a diaper or the need for them? And I would freely admit I needed and used them , not many patients are down to earth or welcoming to nurses when they needed to give care , even at 2 am I would be joking and welcoming instead of acting like they where bothering me , I told them I have needed diapers for 25 years the time for excuses and euphemisms has long ago expired, saying anything other than diaper was like saying I need my water pitcher filled when my IV bag needed changing,, I don't put a wall of bullcrap in front of things , I just put them out there, I'm all for creative writing but don't feel I need to create a new language to get my needs met, eat when hungry, diaper when wet simple.

rosalie.bent Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 My baby goes to doctors, masseurs, chiros, physios etc all in nappies. Now she wears the patterned disposables or cloth with plastic pants. She doesnt care any more what people think and mostly, they dont care at all. One massuer commented quite favourably on her nappy stating that it must be very convenient to not have to use a toilet. She now wears nail polish on her toes and one offered to do her nails as well! I think more and more people are becoming more acceptable of personal choice and preferences - including nappies. Link to comment
