Truth in Advertising

While I was eating dinner last night. I overheard two women talking. The conversation came around to potty training brought on by a little girl who walked by with the top of her pull up sticking out of her pants. One women said she didn't know why Pampers called Easy Ups and Underjams or Huggies called Pull Ups and Goodnites. Training pants and sleep pants. The other woman looked at her and said it is because of they called them what they really was. No child would want to wear them and that is pull up disposable diapers for older children. So they have to disguise them by calling them something else besides diapers. I had to chuckle at the description. Because she was right.

Lol, I know what you mean. Back in my younger days, there were diapers ( cloth ), and training pants ( also cloth ). There were some variations on the theam, night diapers, which was a thicker cloth, and there actually was sleep pants. Which would refer to cloth pull on pants, for older bedwetters. Some training pants, had plastic outer pants, with cloth inside.

Even in adult products, the same is true. For example, many Depend products have names with variants of "Incontinence Underwear." Even their now-discontinued "Protection with Tabs" is careful to avoid the word diaper, despite its being a plastic backed tape-on diaper.

Yes the continence advisor always calls them pads.

I totally understand what you're talking about and it drives me nuts. Many medical and merchandising personnel call diapers briefs, pads protection and so on. I think because it's more " professional " to call them as such. Some may be affend by calling them diapers and pads and thats why they call them that. Ok, I'm an adult, I wear diapers 24/7 due to my incontinence which is what an adult should do.. I wear snug fitting " BRIEFS " or spandex shorts over my diaper to help hide and hold my diaper in place. I dont wear a brief over a brief! I somewhat understand why they call them different things, but I had to accept that I'm incontinent so accept calling what they are and that's diapers. My opinion!

Some words are very powerful and DIAPERS is one of them! I'm sure that it's very embarrassing for lots of people--young and old--who must wear them even though the don't want to. Me? I actually get turned on reading and hearing the word DIAPERS. When I'm wearing mine I love for my wife to make frequent references to my DIAPERS. "Oh you have your DIAPERS on! Well, your DIAPERS sure are wet and drooping! You love your DIAPERS don't you?" There have even been times when I have gotten myself sexually excited and masturbated to a huge climax by merely laying in bed and saying the word DIAPERS out loud, over and over again. "Diapers! DIAPERS!! DIAPERS!!!! I'M BACK IN DIAPERS!!! I WEAR DIAPERS!!!" Calling them 'pull-ups' or 'pads' just wouldn't be the same.

Yep. Diapers. that's where its at. Those bulky humiliating symbols if immaturity. Every time I walk into my bedroom with the piles of diapers and plastic pants hanging out airing after being washed, I get that thrill of "diapers". "Protection", "pads", "briefs"? Not in my life. Wetters wear diapers. If you cant skeep your pants dry, you need diapers...

O absolutely despise the euphemism crowd ,if you are old enough to need or want diapers or require them ,you damn well better call them diapers .I have been Incontinent 28+ years , my girlfriend badly broke her legs and can't transfer anymore so she needs diapers ,ask her she wears briefs or protection ,but when her grandson is visiting she changes his diapers, I tell her stop lieing to yourself ,nobody else believes you . When I am in the hospital my 1st rule is force a nurse to say diaper ,they are trained to say a bunch of b.s. from can we check your Attends to lets get you dried off ,I never dual at making them say diaper and unlike the morons who can't tolerate hearing they wear and use diapers I don't file complaint for calling a diaper a diaper .

Roses are red violets are blue ,my diaper is full ,what about you ?

People shouldn't be full of shit ,Billy Joel was right about "honesty" being a lonely word it's so lonely it's cuddling up with the D's as in diapers .

Yes my continence advisor always refers to them as "pads" except on one occasion when she was trying to get me to go back to a catheter and she just turned round and said "havn't you had enough of wearing these nappies you really dont need them" !

At that point I asked her how well a catheter worked with a number 2, her responce was "well perhaps I was being a little hasty" and that was that, she drops in on us once or twice a year and is probably more of a friend than a nurse but no longer tries to dissuade me from my nappies ?

Nappies or Diapers depending on which side of the lake you live are just that and describing them as some other thing such as "pad" is pointless as they will always be Nappies or Diapers FULL STOP.

They are diapers. I know what they are...lol...They are my underwear. If you want euphemism just generically call them that. You wouldn't necessarily say, "please remove your thong, boxers, briefs, w.e." Sure you can and sometimes people do but, on the whole most people say "underwear" regardless of the type. If you want to be specific say diaper. Nothing embarrasses me more or hurts my pride then when someone is uncomfortable with my diaper or calls them something like "pad or brief". I typcially am only ever embarrassed if the other person is. And I get it...but, modesty is a farce...lol get over it and we both can move on lol. That's just my opinion though. I understand and in the opposite sense appreciate why people are afraid to say it. What I respect most is when someone asks how I would like to refer to them.

You know, I wear diapers. They happen to be pull-ups; but, they are pull-up diapers. I'm 100% comfortable with that. If anyone asked, I might say I wear adult diapers (as opposed to children's diapers). Nonetheless, they are diapers. I wear for fun; but, diapers are what I wear.
