MegaChar Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Probly a joke but a energy drink company trying to use diapers to attract customers.(Their energy drinks are fantastic for me whos on a keto diet) I personally am having a cloth diaper made myself. Ehh, these look ok. 1 Link to comment
horrorfan Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I don't think it's necessarily "us" per se. Sometimes people use diapers when they would rather avoid taking time to go to the bathroom, but they don't correlate it with being incontinent or behaving childishly; they're just trying to save time and stay focused on whatever task they're doing rather than address nature's call. Anyway, in the gamer community (whom G-Fuel advertises to), wearing diapers to avoid getting up and using the bathroom isn't unheard of. 1 Link to comment

horrorfan Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I visited their site, looks like the product is called 'energy diaper' and they're sold out. I haven't taken the time to check out product reviews, but I'd be wary of it not having quality (companies which feature a particular gimmick and sell diapers which feature their gimmick typically drop a little in quality in order to incorporate their gimmick/features). So while it could appear that G-Fuel is normalizing diaper wearing within the gaming community, a lot of people still find diapers cringe, so I don't know if you could call that a win. They definitely know how to market it though, props for that. Link to comment

Don't think compulsive gamblers are necessarily a part of the gaming community. To my knowledge, G-Fuel tries to be the one-stop shop for things gamer related. I'd have to do more research to back that claim, of course, but to my knowledge, gamblers don't necessarily have a community. Aside from that, I don't think G-Fuel has an interest in diapers which extends beyond it being a product which they have potential to capitalize on. Not wanting to get up from your computer to use the bathroom is a thing, especially if you're playing a rather intense multiplayer game which an absence of a few minutes for a bathroom break (which you potentially could really need after a few hours hyped up on G-Fuel energy drinks) could impact.

And many gamblers, especially slots players, also don't want to get up from their spot because the next spin is going to be the jackpot. Link to comment
horrorfan Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Yeah, that's pretty much how diaper-wearing works when it relates to profession or hobby. It is a widely known alternative to getting up and using the bathroom, but no one really broadcasts that they personally do it. It's cringe. Link to comment

As opposed to just pissing the seat you're in and leaving it soaked for the next person. Link to comment

The social expectation is to get up and use the bathroom if you need to. It seems like diapers are slowly becoming socially acceptable in the gaming community since the expectation to constantly be there subverts the expectation to get up and use the bathroom. Telling people that you wear diapers tells them about your hygiene, which openly admitting that you personally may be wearing your own urine and feces, can make people uncomfortable, as poor hygiene in that regard smells really bad and can result in illness, among other things. 1 Link to comment

I'm not arguing that, I'm explaining popular opinion (as in the average opinion of one who is not in this community; though they are not in this community they still have a strong impact on it) regarding the usage, aversion, and stigma for diaper usage and why when people use them, they typically do not announce that they are. If one just defecates in a chair in public the police are called and it becomes a public spectacle. As an adult, one is expected to handle one's own hygiene at one's own discretion. 1 Link to comment

Would be interesting if they did since they have sold bizarre stuff in the past like chilli dog and ramen flavored energy drinks. Cheap energy drinks at 89 cents a serving of 150 mg of caffeine and no sugar or carbs. I cant complain. Personal fav is the Spyro dragon fruit with the nuka cola quantum in a close second https://gfuel.com/ Link to comment
Crinklz Kat Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Just saw this on twi X ter https://twitter.com/CuriousCoobah/status/1776422367402815629 So apparently they actually did sell them, but only on April 1st. 1 Link to comment

horrorfan Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 If it was on April 1st, maybe it was a joke? Link to comment
dlguy Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 that video, around 2:38 seems the girl's diaper is sagging in the back, must be full ? Link to comment
