Wearing diapers on public transportation.

Has anyone ever noticed/smelled your diapers on a bus or train before? I'd love to hear others stories and experiences.

One of my worst most embarrassing experiences was on the bus coming home from the store after school when I was in the 10th grade. I got on the bus and had diarrhea.

The first time I thought someone noticed, I was on a long-distance train - Brisbane to Gympie.

Queensland Rail trains have only just started introducing rollingstock with onboard toilets as standard, so it's a toss-up whether you'll get onboard toilets or not. I decided to go padded primarily because I like padding but also for practical reasons. I got the impression the lady across from me knew because every time I'd look up I could see her in the corner of my eye seemingly giving me a vaguely unsettled look. It didn't help that those were quite a noisy (although very functional) combo, and it was a sparsely populated train with no conversation between riders, and the line was quiet.

I still get a bit of this when I'm wearing thicker padding but I really don't care now. The difference of course is that when this incident happened I was mostly continent, whereas now I am not.

Surprisingly, I do not think I have had this experience really. I have gotten a few looks before. Maybe they smelled me I am not sure.

I don't use public transportation.

I have ridden on plenty of buses and trains while wearing a nappy. I doubt anyone noticed nor cared if they did. People are just too wrapped up in their own lives to care.

I've never used the pubic transportation (buses) in my town, but when I go to New York or DC I always take the subway / Metro trains. I've never been there diapered before, but, I always look at everyone else (well mainly the females) to see if I can tell if any of them are wearing diapers. So far, haven't noticed anyone.

(I think that's something most of us probably do--once you're into wearing diapers you always just seem to be on the lookout for anyone else who may be as well).

If I ever had the opportunity to get on the train wearing mine, I'd have no problem doing it. Everyone seems to have a "mind your own business" sort of attitude, also as Steve said they're wrapped up in their own lives and paying little attention, when on public transportation.

I'll bring an old thread back to life 😜

I have worn diapers on long train rides before in Germany. I wasn't sure if there would be restrooms available and I didn't want to leave my luggage unattended even if there was.

The only time I might have been noticed was during one long 2.5 hour part of the trip. I'd already travelled 2 hours from leaving my hotel wearing an M4, and was already wet. When I got to my seat I had the window and the other guy was already seated. He got up just enough for me to squeeze by and when I moved past him I unfortunately crinkled a bit. Then when I sat down I got a slight wiff of wet diaper (I know, should have worn plastic pants). And I assume if I noticed it he did too.

All he did was give me a quick look and went right back to his book. Nothing was ever said and I was careful not to move too much just in case. So yeah, people are definitely too wrapped up in their own world.

If I know I will be using public transport, well if I am out and about I have my backpack with a change or two in it ready just in case. But like I was saying, if I knew I was going to ride public transport, or even ride with friends, I change before getting in.
