nappies in public

[nappies]

In my experiences the general public is so absorbed in their own little world that they don't notice even the thickest of diapers. Remember, for the average person the thought of an adult wearing a diaper is so far out in left field that it would never even occur to them. The only ones who would see anything out of the ordinary are people who have experience with diapers themselves... either by wearing them or regularly dealing with someone who does. Those people are going to assume it's either medical or fetish (depending on their experience) and they're not going to say anything about it.

So wear your diapers and don't worry about it. As long as you don't go around intentionally exposing them to innocent bystanders you aren't going to arouse any suspicion.

Some people still do have hangs ups about seeing adults in Nappies even seeing the disabled in Nappies.

I can remember a incident in Lawn in Victoria, Australia several years ago. In Lawn there is a disability institution and these adults went to the swimming pool one day with carers. Anyway they were in full view of the public and in there Nappies. Well the country folk weren't use to this. And there was a bit of a uproar. It got so bad that the premier of the State of Victoria at the time Jeff Kennett had to intervene and tell these people not to be ignorant and pull there heads in he wasn't going to put up with there hang ups and there nonsense.

Hi I'd like to know what kind of diapers you wear, when you are out and about.

I myself am a discreet wearer, but I prefer to wear one on trips or if I'm shoping, most of the times.

Tena pants plus are realy great, cause they are not noticable even with jeans, but they cant take much, so for longer trips I use molicare premium super, but only with skirts or dresses, or something else baggy.

Isn't it great if you are in a check-out line or waiting for the bus, or watching a movie, and you can just let go when natur calls.
I think it really very comfortable

big thick cloth

big thick cloth is the only way to go (so to speak)

[LilLucy]

I never tried cloth, it seems the environmentaly conscient way to go

but its not very absorbent, wich makes it neccessary to wear plasticpants with them, I'm no big fan of those, I only use them for long road trips, cause my bf is afraid a leaky diaper could ruin his car seats

it could happen, I dont deny it, but I still would prefer to go without plasticpants

Whilst cloth and plastic pants would be fantastic, unfortunately they are not conveneant enough for outings. I do enjoy wearing and wetting in a public place, with the knowledge that no one else has any idea what is happening, or how great the feeling is as the wetness spreads and the nappy sags ......mmmm great feeling

[nappy_and_pilchers]

not convenient?

cloth is all i wear... id love to help you with any problems you have...

I can *easily* wear the same cloth nappy all day.

dont be a tease , if there is a way to use cloth-diapers without just soaking through a layer of swaddling, instead of your pants and panties, I surely would like to know

[nappy_and_pilchers]

simple.

get "proper" terry towelling. it might have a different name in your country.

not the thin crap stuff. flannelette is useless too, as is gauze.

110cm square suits me fine and i have a 30 inch waist. now, fold it into a kite shape... lots of oil and powder, pin it up tight and then slide some snug plastic pants over the top.

pants are optional.

then head out for the day! take the first wet easy... dont flood it just pee whenever.

ive had mine on for 10 hours now... not sure it off before bed or not. maybe wifey might rub my nose in it if im lucky.

terry toweling can be bulky though. I assume you don't use any soakers which would make the nappy bulkier.

[nappy_and_pilchers]

yep sure is.

sure, its bulky, thats one of the many attractions.

you dont need soakers. at all.

without starting an argument, i am constantly amazed at how difficult people make the process of wearing nappies! I have had my current set of 8 nappies for about 5 years. The plastic pants do wear out but you can make them last longer by following a few simple rules.

Total expenditure over 5 years probably wouldnt exceed $500.

That's not counting the water and soap to wash them and the electricity to dry them.

[nappy_and_pilchers]

says who?

i actually counted oils, powder and stuff in there as well...

we actually have quite a sophisticated family budget that tracks all our expenditure (even kinky stuff)... agreed water is hard to calculate on a per wash basis.

Total expenditure on nappies, pilchers, powder and oil was $380. I reckon $120 would cover the cost of washing (especially using our method)

[nappy_and_pilchers]

oh and another thing...

We use ZERO electricity to dry them.

There is a giant fireball in the sky that takes care of that for us. Its also a great antibacterial agent and make the nappies nice and comfy as well as extending their life.

You cannot *BUY* convenience... you simply *PAY* to shift the inconvenience elsewhere (for a while)

I wear Toweling Nappies at night and i also use soakers so they are bulky and i like that.

As for the cost of using cloth Nappies they are still cheaper than disposables which are very bad for the environment and could possibly cause damage to male baby's causing them to be Infertility.

[LilLucy]

thanks, really a lot of helpful advice, but it seems all abit more difficult compared to disposables, maybe for use at home, bulk and all this sounds discouraging for public use

disposable diapers are sure pricey, put my insurance covers part of it, so that is not such a big problem,

and so we are all for saving the planet, I dont think I can get my bf to put them on me, with pins and such, and doing it yourself seems out of the question

as far as I could see they look a lot like bath-towels, putting them in the washer in our building and on the clothline shouldnt be a problem

rubing your face in it, nappy n pilchers, thats a figure of speech ... right?
