Why is it so bad to wear diapers?

I dont know why is it sooooo bad to wear diapers, i love diapers and i am also a teen baby. when my parents found out they were sooooo mad at me they told everyone in my family that i am still a baby.

Society just frowns upon it especially since everyone these days wants to try and be older smoking cigarettes and having sex so early and what not

Wearing diaper is "Bad" because it costs you a lot of money. That is why most people train the baby not to use diaper as soon as posibble.

I think it mostly stems from the view that diapers are worn by young children under 3 years old. This is further emphasized by the pressure of parents put on young children to be potty trained and out of diapers. Diapers are for babies, your a big boy/girl, you don't want to be baby do you? It's kind of a trick to make children feel ashamed of still going in their pants, and the effort of the parents to have them out of diapers as soon as possible. There is also pressure from others, other parents and other children. Being potty trained is somewhat of a milestone. It shows others you have reached a big threshold in your development. Yes! my child is normal and smart, he/she has achieved potty training. If this has not be achieved by a certain point, others will ask, oh! is there something wrong with your child? They're still not potty trained and still wear diapers? This is mostly the reason diapers are viewed as bad to wear. There's a social stigma attached to how developed you are as a child, by when you are out of diapers.

Diapers are a hassle for mom and dad, and you need to be out of them as soon as possible! So, diapers become a bad thing.

There are some who don't view it that way, and buck the trend.

I believe it is our society as we are expected to meet certain goals as we age. It begins at child birth and continues throughout our life.

We begin to crawl and will eventually learn to walk. We learn to talk and our vocabulary will increase over the years. We are expected to enter school around the age of five and graduate by eighteen. We can then continue on with our education or begin a career. Next comes marriage and children. The rules in our society are endless. And yes, we are all suppose to be potty trained by 3 years old and out of diapers for the rest of our lives.

Having to wear diapers is a sign of weakness and a majority of the population cannot accept the fact that many children, teens and adults (both young and old) will either wear them for medical needs or enjoyment.

You would think by now with all the disposable products available on store shelves today that society would accept the fact that people over the age of three still need diapers. Look at all the TV ads for medicine to control bladder urges. I have seen TV ads for Depends (Thank You June Allison) and by HDIS for bladder control products. It is out there, but society still cannot accept this fact.

However, we are not alone as there are many other fetishes that are not accepted by a large part of the population. I am comfortable with wearing diapers and do not judge others for what they do. In fact, I am more acceptant of others for who they are.

It's not really bad. We have just been shaped into society thinking that it's wrong. Like slavery (kind of!!!) people in their times were brought up to think it was normal, now we have been brought up to believe it is extremely bad. It's just perspective.

There are some solid answers in here, but I believe that it is also necessary to touch on some other factors that color peoples perceptions on non-required diaper wearing. I'm going to approach the one that seems to stand out the most.

There's the sexual nature behind it that is strongly suggestive of perceived deviancy (anything solely for gratification and not for making babies). People who are perceived as being deviant in one area are likely to be perceived as deviant in all areas. This is the reason that followers of Dr. Laura and that type of trash honestly believe that if you are into bondage, then it goes to reason that you also like to have sex with animals and children. I didn't say it was sound logic, just that it's what a lot of ignorant people think. It's even more difficult in the case of a youth who still lives with his parents (guardians). The last thing parents want to know about is their child's sexuality aside from the basics, which are that you are straight (even the most excepting of parents are a little easy to shake up when it's their own) and if you're a boy and you have a father (figure) around whether you have scored yet (but nothing beyond that-no details). So, discovering something like diapers is likely to open a realm of thought that was never considered, and thus, never prepared for as a possibility. Parents will view this as an intimate detail that they themselves cannot fathom and it confuses them, and may lead to rash responses as in public humiliation (I'll shame the devil outta you!), sometimes turning a blind eye, perhaps violence and if you are one of the lucky ones, they'll simply sit down and lightly discuss the issue with you and then let you make your own choices after that.

I agree with what you're saying Dspsbldpr. I'd like to add, that I think people also have a lazy attitude when it come to understanding something. They don't want to be bothered trying to under stand something that maybe a bit complex in it's conception. So, it becomes an easy out to just classify it as something else, or as connected to something else that already has an explanation for it. Oh, we already have an explanation for why people do that, then that must explain why people do this too!

Theres nothing wrong with it . It doesnt hurt anyone else I love to wear adult diapers.

It is pure ignorance and narrow-mindedness on the part of Joe Public. It is such an ingrained stigma that anything that does not conform to society's 'norm' is deviant and subject to ridicule or even worse physical chastisement. Look at bullying of the 'different' child in schools; the social rejection of 'different' people, albeit disabled, colour, creed, etc. Modern society is slowly overcoming these barriers - too slowly, though.

Voluntary diapers are seen as deviance - adults just don't do it. So we are at least ridiculed and reejected, or worse called paedophiles, depraved, etc. Nothing could be further from the truth for all of us. That will probably change in time - too slowly, though!

How is it so bad to wear diaper it is only cloth material if people relise this it wouldnt be such a set back to accept i love my diapers i would never go back to big boy pants i am a happy diaper bum 4 ever..

EVERY one here has it in their own mind that diapers are not accepted under cloths AND to use them willingly is an even bigger taboo. That is why so many are so afraid of being found out and for the rest who don't worry about that I say their is not one of us here that will wear a wet diaper in public for all to see .. on a daily bases. Call it what you will, formulate your own reasons , blame it on the ignorance of the public. What ever - you already know that wearing diapers is "wrong" or you would be given the choice. You may have been asked by mommy if you wanted to try potty training, in school you would have talked it over with friends " So are you wearing diapers tomorrow? OK then I wear mine too. " You should also notice that wearing diapers is not only wrong in , say the US , but in all countries. That tells you its nature not culture that says you have to stop using diapers by age 3.

IMHO... it's a deep seated cultural taboo surrounding human waste and disease. I've postulated on other boards about this as well. As a culture, we've been subjected to horrible infectious plagues fostered by poor sanitation. Human waste is deeply associated with the spread of everything from cholera to tb. Even today, when waste isn't handled properly (as in Africa's refugee camps), sickness and death occur.

Yer Friend N' Foe... the Omniscient Mo!

It's bad cause somebody told you it was ( their beliefs as to why this is bad is explained above ) question you should be asking yourself is do you believe in them? if so then you should seek a doctor to help surpress your urges. otherwise - stand up for what you know isn't bad, next you'll be asking is gays and black people bad.... get out of the 1920's mindset and live your life

I personally think that diapers are a great alternative for yoour sexual feelings. i would rather hear about kids wearing diapers all the time than hear about them having sex at 15 or 16 or getting raped through myspace or soemthing

Its so sad that they did that...Im fourty years old and when my mother found out about my love of wearing diapers she offered to change them for me.... about an hour after we had a talk I told her that I had wet them, showed her where the new diapers and powdwer was and she did the rest...i suppose im one of the luck ones

I dont think it is bad to wear diapers just think of all the pople who do are we all bad I dont think so

I don't know who said it was bad but they are wrong. I happen to enjoy wearing them. I also have to wear them at night too for wetting my bed. 😉

What I don't understand is why many seem giddy about diapers like they're curious but don't want others to think they are. Take Lisa Nowak for example. Why was her underwear so important when she had attempted to drive across the country to kill someone? Another time, in my anime club, they showed an episode where a woman used a diaper to prevent some chemical from leaking out of a factory. Everyone looked sheepish afterward and tried not to laugh too much.

For some reasons diapers seem to be taboo. Do you think more people could be AB curious and they're trying to suppress those thoughts?

I returned to diapers and plastic pants 43 years ago. I spent many years hiding this lifestyle. I told my wife before we were married and we have been together for over 28 years.

I wear diapers more often than I do not. I have gotten to the point where if someone were to discover I wear diapers it would not be "life threatening". I wear diapers in public, I wear diapers to bed. As others have said, wearing diapers is a comfort and a convenience. I don't ever "poo" in my diapers so it is unlikely any one will detect my diapers unless I leak.

I like the old saying, I came into the world wearing diapers and if I live long enough, I'll go out wearing diapers. I've chosen to up the odds that I will go out wearing diapers.

I think it dates back to when we lived in caves... it was badly heigenic to leave your wastes lying around where you were living... and so over the centuries we have developed ways to move the waste far away, with the exception of babies whom can not help it... but parents are always trying to potty train earlier and earlier, and thus wearing diapers is taboo. Even someone disabled and forced to wear are still kinda looked down upon because they can not take care of their most basic function of waste removal... and its sad that people think that way. But its born and bread into us. But its like so many other stereotypical nonsenses... if you stop and think about it, its perfectly ok.

In the minds of most people one should be out of diapers (ie: potty-trained, and not yet loosing control again) from the age of about 4 through the age of 65 or so. Thus, most people would not understand why someone was wearing diapers. In all actuality however, there is nothing wrong with wearing diapers unless it is done in an unsanitary (compromising one's health or the health of others), indecent, or other harmful manner. If people were to see it more often the public would become desensitized to people wearing diapers. It would also be beneficial if the public were educated and exposed to the existence of AB/DL lifestyle, which can be accomplished without 'forcing' it on them. Most non-AB/DL's have never heard of it before.

If diaper wearing is soooooooo bad, how come the incontinence sections at supermarkets and drug stores are growing so fast. Look at the baby diaper section and see that the bedwetter diaper sizes are taking over the space from the babies. People are starting to look for ways to disconnect and live in less stressfull situations. Diaper wearers are generally optimistic, happy, carring and considerate people. We have known this a long time, so be happy, we are the new trend!!

I believe it is our society as we are expected to meet certain goals as we age. It begins at child birth and continues throughout our life tell the day we die.

We are all suppose to be potty trained by 3 years old and out of diapers for the rest of our lives NOT i was not out of diapers tell i was 5 and all i won't to do was get back in diapers.

Having to wear diapers i wont to and a majority of the population cannot accept the fact that many adults (both young and old) will either wear them for medical needs or enjoyment.

You would think by now with all the disposable products available on store shelves today that society would accept the fact that people over the age of three still need diapers. Look at all the TV ads for medicine to control bladder urges. I have seen TV ads for Depends (the queen of adult diapers June Allison love here she is real) and opes i crapped my self(sat night live) and by HDIS for bladder control products. It is out there, but society still cannot accept this fact adult like me wont to potty and poop in my pants.

However, we are not alone as there are many other fetishes like pony play even anal sex that are not accepted by a large part of the population. I am comfortable with wearing diapers and wettin it in front of people out there in the would .

What it boils down to is this: It goes against everything we are taught as kids.

The idea of people in diapers runs opposite to everything we are used to hearing in our societal background. It's drilled into everyone's heads since early childhood that the key to respect is full maturity. Diapers are often seen as a step back on a social plane. Since potty training is seen as a rite of passage to childhood, diapers are thought to be a blow to our autonomy. That's why some parents punish kids by putting them in diapers.

The truth is what most of us said here. Diapers aren't bad. They're just seen by most as a symbol of immaturity. My philosophy is that no activity causing harm to one's self or others should be forbidden. As long as you buy your own diapers, clean up after yourself, and know your limits, there's nothing wrong with enjoying diapers.

Yeah i totally agree. society is very backwards especially because of stupid queen victoria. Instead of just letting go and poo or pee when need to, society says NO you MUST use this very elaborate contraption called the toilet- put all ur pee and poo in there! lol that is just horible tryin to go against nature- they make you hold all that crap for some nasty contraption. just use diaper nd go when need to- most convenient and soft and comfy. also a good diapers make poo+pee less bad for skin. why toilet train? lolol

Its just different and most people frown upon things "out of the norm".

I theink that there is nothing bad about It expect that people think that they have to have something to make fun of & if they see a teen or yound adult wearing a diaper that gives them what they need to make themselfs feel like the stonger Or better person than the person wearing the daiper is

I think that the fact is that if you wear them peolpe look at us weird at they don't realise that for some of us they make us feel beater a bout the world the warmth they have when warn.
