Socially Acceptable

A big part of the fun lies in diapers being out of the norm for adults, but personally, I really just enjoy wearing them - the look, the feel of a well proportioned cloth diaper and plastic pants are great.

What I often wish is to be around other people, wearing a diaper, maybe a shirt, or pj's and it being very obvious that I'm in a diaper. No secrets, no hiding. I know there are people with illnesses who are living like that, so I say all this so I say all of this with total respect for the fact that they probably wish they did not need their diapers.

For me, it's just a fantasy, and if I do get an opportunity to safely wear openly and publicly, I'll jump on it, knowing those chances just don't come around that often.

You got a better understanding we have in the UK about adults the wearing nappies for fun in your country

I'd wear them out in public like a pair of shorts.

I have to agree my diapers and plastic pants are a lot like short shorts and cover a whole lot more!

Even if they were, I wouldn't - people would be able to see me going to the toilet. It would be one of those awkward things, like having hickeys - that is generally frowned upon even when people laugh it off.

Diapers are a form of underwear in most cases for people who can't control their bodily functions properly although obviously not all of us fit into that category but even then you don't go running around in just your underwear outside of your house then the same should be said for diapers their is nothing wrong with wearing them but at least a pair of shorts or something should be covering them at least that is my opinion

I agree, diapers are just underwear. I don't think anyone should be embarrassed about be seen in their underwear or diaper in a dressing room, medical procedure, or at hone wear underwear is acceptable attire. I usually wear pull-ups during the day and put them in in the dressing room at the gym just like the guys putting on their briefs.

Vpl's. If you want to be really surprised go to Paris Porn and look at the poo movies. Enemas, yes, golden showers, yes, but the poo listing is new. whew.

I agree, nappies (diapers) are just underwear.

I don't think any wearer should ever be embarrassed about be seen in them be it in a social or medical setting. Care should be taken as to how others may react and I try to avoid embarrassing other people. But if they are needed so be it.

There is a great difference between being at home - its your turf - 100% ok to be uncovered without thought all of the time. In a full medical setting? I would say it would be ok some exposure but you must expect some questions and even offers of help as I've experienced. I would suggest you may get away with a brief exposure, say whilst changing at a gym but others around you may react adversely. Nappy wearing in adults is a lot more common than people realise. Think about it, would they advertise the likes of TENA on the TV if there is only a small market? That said, there is a great deal of difference visually again between a pull-up and full plastic/cotton which I usually wear. I would suggest wearers think before uncovering but there is no need to be embarrassed if you are wearing them.

Yes if it was socially acceptable I would happily wear a nappy and plastic baby pants in public with just a t-shirt no attempt to cover my nappy.

Every day of the week

I would if they were socially accepted. But in today's world it will never happen. I agree diapers are just a form of underwear, they just are held on with tape tabs. So I will continue to have my diaper covered while out in public.

Again yes I would because since having to wear diapers/nappies due to my bodily and mental health problems personally I don't see any problems with this and it should be something no one should ever be made to be ashamed about.

And yes like may pepole have seid if it were more acceptable then I think that the amount of bullying and stigmatisum would stop and that's kind of what I would like to see in society.

I have no issues with pepole who either have to wear or choose to wear diapers/nappies for what ever reason I mean think of it for most pepole myself I the first 3-5 years of life are spent in diapers so why should adulthood be any different?,

And one other point of contention their is no stigmatisum aimed against children so why stigmatize the most vaunrable in society just because we wear a different form of underwear and all that needless bullying and stigma is not only hurtfull but is also just another form of discrimination against the disabled particularly the ones like myself with hidden disabilities such as autism or other issues that people like myself didn't choose.

Yes I respect everyone has the right to have an opinion and to voice concerns but at what cost?, alienation and exclusion is a scar you carry for life and for those who suffer it it can lead to depression or worse self harm or suicide.

And as I keep saying to people who don't know me or others like myself is please think before you say anything basic human kindness dosen't cost anything and the world would be a better place if hatred mistrust and open hostility wasn't a factor.

Yours sincerly

Been wearing since 1994 hopefully found someone that will wear with me and also wet our pants together for fun

I call b's on this !if diapers where socially acceptable it wouldn't be a fetish or challenging .

Can't see wearing them for others to see. When I see (mostly) younger guys with their pants half off their asses with their underwear showing, I wonder what in the hell is wrong with them. A side story: About 15 years ago I was walking on Main Street in our small town intending to go into a business located there. About 15' in front of me were 2 teenage boys with their pants pulled down to about the half way point of their ass cheeks. As I was turning to go into the business I wanted to visit, I yelled, "Nice ass." While I was in the business, which had full plate glass front windows, the 2 boys walked back past it. Guess what. Both had their pants raised up to waist level. I wonder if they thought I was serious and would be out after them. lol. anyway, I'll keep wearing my diapers, enjoying them, and have my pants on as they are intended to be worn.

New Year's Eve, 2019. Or maybe it was 2018. While watching the revelries around the world on television, I saw the scene change to Times Square in New York City, USA. A host of the show was interviewing members of the throng awaiting the midnight countdown. She asked a pair of young women if they felt safe in the crowd of more than 100,000 party-goers.

Said one young lady, "The only thing I'm afraid of is my diaper leaking."

"You're wearing a diaper?" asked the host without missing a beat or appearing, in any manner, surprised.

"Aren't you?" asked the first woman's friend.

"Do you see any easy-to-get-to bathrooms?" asked the first woman.

The scene cut to the telecaster's booth, but a couple women wearing diapers on New Year's Eve in Times Square seemed pretty socially acceptable to me.

Just look at YouTube for "new year new york diaper" and you will find some videos where women publicly admit that they are wearing diapers. 😎

For me it's not so much whether or not they're socially acceptable, rather, whether it's legal. I would imagine that in some large cities such as NYC, you could wear anything and as long as you weren't causing any other trouble, very few would care. But in smaller cities/towns I can see some of the more socially conservative sorts becoming rather offended by seeing an adult out in public wearing diapers--and the more obvious, babyish and wet/messy they were, the more offended they'd be.

Me? Well I never want to offend anyone but I definitely have, in the past, enjoyed going out in my diapers and doing things such as, hopping out of the car on a hot summer day in a t-shirt and thick drooping diapers/plastic pants to put gas in the car, mail a letter, get a drink out of a machine, etc. And I've loved that look you get--the look of amazed bewilderment from a person trying to not laugh at you--the rush of adrenaline and humiliation are wonderful.

But I almost never do this anymore and the main reason is, everybody now has a cell phone and I don't want anyone to call the cops and complain. If I knew that this wouldn't be the case, I'd probably do it a lot more (like I used to do back in the 1990s / early 2000s).

Back in October 2017, I kind of experienced “this”. I was down south, in the Florida Keys, end of October, for a Halloween celebration. The small group I traveled with wanted to participate, but only 2 of the 4 of us did, and the theme that year was “time machine”.

One of the 4 asked me, told him I would participate, and he comes up with the idea for time machine, one old man, one baby. I walked around the festival, packed streets, for a couple of hours on 2 nights. Wore plastic tape tab diapers, bib, carrying baby bottle, in front of thousands of people each of the 2 days.

It was a very “love hate” response. Either men and women at the festival took a zillion pictures, chatted with me, treating me as an actual little baby, outright loved me, or, I was extremely ignored, to the point where others were severely appalled, looking the other way, like they could not handle seeing a 5’ 8” boy in disposable diapers. I mean were outright uncomfortable with me. That is exactly what I experienced for a couple hours, each of the 2 days we did this.

I remember walking the street hearing a young woman walking with a small crew, openly announce in Spanish “looks like someone needs his diapers changed”. A very tall gentleman in his mid 40s approached me “awww little baby, hey little baby” arm around me, and actually talked to me for a few minutes like I was just a little baby.

A group of 5 very beautiful women in mid 40s, brought me to their table, took many pictures, fed me bottle, telling me how cute I was in my diapers. “Look how cuuute you are” “I love his diaper” ...One of them said I reminded her of her nephew, who she and her husband babysat right before the trip. I’m guessing he wasn’t 11. They loved me.

I did experience this, but during a Halloween festival. No, not as easy as you think to just step right directly into public, openly in only plastic tapes disposable diapers and bib. Now, I kind of have an idea of what it is like, even though I hid behind a themed street festival. That is how I was able to do it. Ha.

Modern times and modern thinking of the so called NORMAL wishes one might have concerning diapers. Diapers over the past years have become every day acceptable in society. I would and do wear openly and attend everyday functions in diapers and street clothes. I find now no one even mentions my diapers if noticed under my clothes. I limit exposure of infant or printed adult sized diapers to white only. This lets a few of the onlookers to think they are for medical purposes.

Still I have been dressed in an ABDL baby girls outfit and taken to the pub for my birthday. Bonnet, baby bottle, blouse and short skirt to show very bulky baby print diapers and plastic pants. They even had tights and a pair of white Mary Janes for me to wear. All my friends set this up for a special treat for me on my 55 birthday. They even had a highchair replacing my usual bar stool at the pub.

My group of friends had one last laugh as they all left the pub. They left me stranded in the highchair with the bar tab for the evening. Thanks to the bar manager who helped organize this party with my then Girlfriend. He also drove me home for my wallet to pay for the evenings events. Maybe I should get a wallet pocket added to my diapers for the next time.

I suspect that part of the reason I like wearing diapers and rubber pants, and wetting myself like an infant, baby, or child is the fact that its not socially acceptable and most adults at best would not approve. I feel naughty, kinky, or whatever. I may not get as big a thrill from wearing my diapers and wetting myself if the rest of the adult world didn't care or found my behavior perfectly acceptable. It's sort of one way to rebel, never grow up fully, and be unconventional.

I'd wear only a diaper to garden in if it were acceptable.

Being retired from NYC I can tell you once you are put in a “pen“ you are stuck , if you leave , there’s no going back , porta potys pose a threat so they are excluded from perimeter as are mailboxes, garbage cans , un official vehicles etc…. If your not diapered it’s your first very wet new year learning experience , next year will be different ! People can spend 12-14 hours in a “pen” before the balls drop ,LOL.

there is also a pantsless day in NYC , that ¾ of people are doing normal stuff going to work, riding subways etc in just diapers or training pants . NYC has a population of about 11 million people , so lots and lots of diapers to be seen that day !

That's how I feel about being an adult baby and diaper dependent. It's my way of rebelling against society and all it's fucked up norms. It's fucked up that society thinks that adults wearing diapers is weird but they never say anything about special needs, disabled or elderly being in diapers. It's why being diaper dependent has made me rebel against society for having adult potties that are not inclusive enough.

I believe this question comes up like I ask my wife if she would like to wear her menstrual protection so that everyone can see her except that it is not socially acceptable, I don't want to offend anyone. I respect everyone, they have the right to have an opinion and to voice their concerns, but in my case, I don't want to and publicly admit that I wear diapers. I think a diaper wearer like me should be low-key to be seen in them. There is nothing wrong with wearing a diaper, but at least a pair of shorts or something should cover them at least for the people around. It's just a matter of modesty and privacy for me.😳

Lyric, I love how you want to flaunt your diapers in the face of society. The society normals better beware Lyric is in the house.

After 76 years of being in and out of diapers and rubber pants, I guess I just don't care who knows I love to wear, wet and mess my diapers. My wife and daughter love me, my MIL decided her daughter made a good choice and that's enough for me.

I am with you Lyric, all of us working on our 7th decade love our diapers. Lucky man you have a loving family. May you be ever squishy. 🍸

Diapers are socially acceptable here in Brazil. For Brazilians, diapers are a kind of underwear.

In Brazil you can wear speedos and bikinis on street at cities with beaches, like Rio de Janeiro, but it's only normal to wear those around the beach area. If you go far from the beach, like 3~4 streets into the neighborhood, you will not see people wearing beach outfit anymore.

In our culture, there is a difference between ordinary underwear (like briefs) and speedos and bikinis (beach outfit). It's not because of size, it's the attire purpose. You won't see people in underwear at beaches, it would be so weird, but you can see in a dressing room or during a medical procedure.

That being said, it's because diapers are underwear you will not see people in diapers at the beach or swimming clubs. But you can see someone in diapers in the dressing room at the gym just like other guys taking off or putting on their briefs. Even if you are in a soaked diaper, you don't need to bother going to a stall to take it off, everybody knows the purpose of a diaper. It's not the same for a messy diaper, of course. You won't put a clean diaper on just after taking off a messy diaper. You can take off your clothes outside the stall and go to the stall in a messy diaper carrying with you your wipes and the new diaper. People may do strange faces in that context, but I guarantee they will say nothing.

Fun fact about Brazil: on carnival you can walk around wearing diapers out in open in public wherever you go, because people see it as a costume. Because it's the cheapest costume, it's very popular, specially among men. It's also popular because if you decide to go to a party and there's no costume available, you can just go to a drugstore or supermarket and buy a diaper: you got your costume! During the days of carnival, you can see diapered guys everywhere, not only in the street parties. You see then at restaurants, supermarkets, banks, and even at the house of others if a party is happening there. So you can enter to any building diapered, take an elevator with others and nobody will judge you. Carnival in Brazil is the heaven for all exhibitionist diaper lovers. Go to Google Images, search for “fralda carnaval" and have fun!

Because diapers are socially acceptable here, I don't mind if people find I wear diapers. I wear 24/7 and attend everyday functions in diapers under my clothes. No one mention my diapers if noticed under my clothes. I wear Tena Slip during the day, everyday. They are super discreet and not noticeable at all. I'm wearing around my coworkers every day for the last 2 years and they didn't notice yet.

My family and close friends are aware that I have to wear diapers for medical reasons. I don't care about what other people think.

I feel naughty when taking off my wet diaper or pants in the dressing room at the gym. It's unconventional a guy is his early 40's being incontinent already and I have a lot of fun being out of the norm. When strange guys see me taking off my soaked diaper or drenched pants for the first time, they do a priceless look of amazed bewilderment, a mix of surprised and confused. The thrill of adrenaline/humiliation is amazing!

I love the embarrassment of being caught by strangers, but it's very difficult to make people notice I wear diapers. Even with a leaking diaper and a big bulge full of piss with wet spots in the crotch, no one has ever pointed, laughed or commented while I'm walking by their side. So I'm always creating situations where others can see my soaked wet diaper or pants. There are two situations it's certain I'll be amused with the expressions on the faces of strangers: letting they see me changing my fully wet diapers around them or answering the door for delivery guys wearing only a heavy sagging wet diaper.

Dressing rooms at gyms are the perfect place to change and being caught, but I've already exposed myself in public bathrooms everywhere it's possible, like in malls, supermarkets, gas stations, bus stations, libraries, airports, restaurants, grocery stores, parking lots, wherever. And I don't know how many times I've answered the door for delivery guys wearing only a wet diaper or wearing a onesie (with a diaper under). Can you believe that they look more impressed when seeing me in the onesie than seeing me in diapers? I think because there aren't onesies for adults in Brazil. I bought mines from US years ago. My onesies are all plain white, but they are a really different vesture for Brazilian people. Maybe that's why they stare at me in amazement trying to decipher what's going on.

My urologist also saw me in wet diapers twice, and he wasn't impressed when saw me in a wet diaper. He's probably seen countless dudes in wet diapers over the years. I need to go there every month to get a prescription for Myrbetric and an updated incontinence report (my healty plan covers 50% of the Myrbetric cost, but I have to present an updated report each month to prove I'm still incontinent). He's so professional that being in a wet diaper around him doesn't turn me on.

The same happens when I'm around the lady that cleans my apartment twice a week. She learned at her first day working to me that I'm incontinent, because since then she has to collect my used diaper from the previous night in my bathroom's trash can and all the used diapers from the days she isn't here in a bigger trash can at the service room. She does her job taking out the garbage and nothing had ever to be said. She also has access to the diaper stash in my wardrobe, it would be impossible to keep my diapers a secret from her. And because at home I just wear a diaper (my home, my rules) it's pretty common to be around her in a soaked diaper. I work remotely on the days she comes and I don't change my habits because she is around. I go through the day wetting myself as usual and when I have to go to the kitchen to drink water or cross with her at any room, it's pretty obvious my sagging diaper is becoming heavier. I see no reason to change my lifestyle because of anyone that's paid to work at my place. She's very professional and never said a word to me about my diapers. And to be clear, it doesn't turn me on being padded around her not only because she is professional, but also because I don't get aroused exposing myself to women.

A funny story came to my mind, though. Once, after changing my diaper in a stall on McDonald's, I got a giggle from teenage boys that caught me with my pants down taking pictures of my diaper at the mirror in the middle of the bathroom. Sometimes I like to film my public adventures, the best ones I share on my Twitter. This time I wasn't filming, it was a casual moment after a private changing in public (I didn't change in the middle of the bathroom, this time I changed in a stall). I was leaving to meet some friends and while passing by the mirrors I checked if the diaper was ok. So I found kind arousing seeing me in a diaper in the middle of a McDonald's bathroom and decided to put my pants down and register the moment. That was when the three boys came in. What could I do? I put my pants on, take my backpack and got out of there in a hurry without looking back. My heart was beating faster than ever, I got to the car and tried to calm down repeating to myself: “what don't teenage boys giggle at, right?” Nowadays when I remember this story I laugh to myself.

This is just one of the vast experience I got exposing myself through the years. Letting guys see me wearing wet diapers out in the open has turned me into an unashamed diaper lover. Every time I push the limits a little more, I get more confident. Wearing diapers in front of strangers doesn't bother me at all. I've never had a bad experience wearing diapers in public.

I wouldn't get a thrill from wearing diapers and wetting myself in public if I found my behavior perfectly acceptable. It's my way to rebel against society and its rules, fight diaper stigma and be unconventional. If there's an opportunity to wear openly and publicly, I won't miss it.

Pleasure is the supreme good, purpose and aim of human life. Pursuit of pleasure is what life is truly about. Happiness is a key component to having a well grounded and well rounded grasp on your own mental health.

If for whatever reason, a person gets a sense of fulfillment out of wearing diapers in front of people, I think that is something that not only deserves respect but should be applauded. If you have enough self awareness to know that wearing out in the open is what you want or need to live your best life then you should be admired for that.

Do what makes you happy. Life is too short to be miserable or care about what others think about how you find your happiness.
