How do people react if they notice your diapers?

I think most people would say. Better be diapered than have wet clothes

Hmmm... I suspect that a lot more people know than we think. I've started wearing almost all the time due to BPH. I prefer cloth so the diapers have quite a bit more bulk than disposables. Once in a while I catch people giving me a quick stare at my waist and a look of confusion. I chuckle inside as they try guess what's going on.

I fully understand as once I came a across an older gentleman dressed in a yachting outfit of short sleeved shirt tucked neatly into a tight pair of shorts. His belt was drawn up snugly and the diaper bulge was like a billboard screaming HEY IM WEARING DIAPERS! He smiled happily at me almost like he was proud of his outfit. I nodded, discretely smiled and walked on with that same look of confusion that I've seen many times. The vast majority of people are very discrete and considerate when seeing a diapered bottom . I have to say I don't flaunt my diapers and always try to camouflage my fat butt....lol...

I wear nappies all the time as I am incontinent. Went through airport security to and from the states with no problem

Walk away if you dont like the questions.

I've had a couple of different responses from different situations from dismay or discuss to sympathy and understanding.

I had someone ask me why do you wear diapers for which my awnser was I need them because of a medical condition/disability.

Most people are kind and understanding although some have been cruel and downright bullies that have either taunted or made an issue out of showing me off in public.

I have even been in tears more than a couple of times because I really don't do well when people bully me for no reason at all.

Most of these events have left their scars both emotionally and physically speaking over the years not just from the time I started wearing diapers but also throughout my life because of autism and other issues.

Anyway getting back to the subject at hand Most people are shocked at first that I wear diapers but once I state why I wear them then they become more sympathetic and understanding.

Yes I've had my ups and downs and yes I've survived years of bullying and the associated depression and ptsd that has resulted from this and again it's off subject so I apologise but thats the brutally honourest truth.

Yours sincerly

I try not to worry about it, I try to keep it covered though.

I don't believe many people if any notice. I've never noticed anyone staring at me anyways.

I've been wearing Adult Diapers at night for about 10 years. But I haven't seen anybody staring at me, nor has anybody asked me why I wear them.

@Chinababe888

I have autism and similar mental health issues to you

I could hardly care less if anyone were to notice I was wearing diapers. There are so many known medical reasons for needing to wear diapers and, really, it's no one's business whatever they might think. Who cares!

Even though I use only the thickest, most absorbent Rearz variety of diapers, I cover them with the Rearz waterproof pant and, when in public, a Rago shapewear panty to compress the bulk, so doubt they would truly be noticeable.

I frequently drive across the Canada/U.S. border at Buffalo or Niagara Falls and sometimes have the lid on my large Rubbermaid storage chest at the rear of my van opened for a peek by a customs officer. It is filled with my diapers and associated articles and even my enema paraphernalia. Sometimes eyebrows are raised, but no questions asked, and I merely mention having prostate cancer/bladder issues before driving away.

I once drove 1400 miles from Tampa, Florida, to my home in Ontario, stopping only to refuel and pick up an occasional coffee and snack, and wearing a single diaper and insert for the entire trip.

Being in a whelchair people dont generally know for sure but assume corectly i wear one , i have actually found people overly helpfull at times , when you look "like a broken toy" people are very accepting of diapers almost to the point of being pushy.

If anyone asks me if i wear diapers I would tell yes and answer any questions they have , it's a teachable moment , because assuming everyone in a wheelchair uses diapers isn't true and assuming someone is can be quite offensive to younger people who are continent , so I try and make sure to dispell the idea that everyone on wheels uses diapers. From my days of hiding my diapers my entire wardrobe is adapted my pants are higher in the back and lower in the front , with hidden expandable gussets to hide even the thickest of diapers , they also open from waist to knees for diaper changes without removing your pants or getting up, and all of my shirts are either compression body stockings or onesies because i used to walk and work and all those normal things and wanted to conceal my diapers ,but after 24 years i have adjusted diapers are just one little part of my life. They didn't make me and sure aren't gonna break me, there lots more about me to like or dislike than my underwear.

As a 24/7 diaper wearer, I have never had any comments. If you know what to look for, you can tell I'm wearing a diaper. Only a few times have I noticed a colleague staring at my crotch, and realizing I had quite a diaper bulge. But again no comments.

Unless you don't make sure to tuck your shirt in if you're walking outside without a coat, or wear overly tight trousers / jeans, I don't think anyone will notice. It's not that people will focus on your crotch or bum automatically when you're walking down the street 😜

I've worn out in public many times, and no one ever commented. It's none of their business, and I would consider it very rude.

And yes, on some occasions it was rather visible because of bulk 😉

I have been wearing 24/7 for several years now, and I can say that not once have I had a negative reaction to my diaper being noticed. The most obvious location for having a visible diaper is the locker room at a gym or spa. I change from jeans to shorts, or from a towel with a diaper beneath back to jeans while standing in front of whichever locker I have selected. There is a three to four second period where I am wearing just shirt and a diaper. It makes noise that is easily heard by anyone standing near me. Nobody has ever asked me about it, moved away from me, stared, laughed, or shared their surprise.

I don't know, no one has commented or asked. But my diapers are pretty thin. But those are the ones provided to me by my insurance. I do occasionally wear thicker diapers during the day but mainly I wear the thicker ones at night. But even when I do where the thicker diapers not a word.

I am sure some or all of us have been outside in our diapers and someone has witnessed you! What were the reactions and was anything said??

To the best of my knowledge no one has seen me wearing diapers inside or outside. In the summer months many times I'm just wearing my diapers or a t shirt inside. I live by myself in a rural area, so the chance of someone seeing is very slim. I do go outside occasionally with just a diaper on to run the trash out and etc., but it's just a brief moment. I keep my diaper wearing needs to myself nor do I want anyone to know.

I have worn nappies 24/7 for 16 years now following a serious illness and it is very rare anyone notices

In winter with several layers of clothes & coats etc no one is going to see.

In the summer there is more chance and on the rare occasion some people have noticed and have given me a odd look but that is it.

Except for on one occasion when on a hot summer's evening when i was walking through town and a group of girls who had clearly been drinking spotted my nappy peaking out of the top of my shorts. This cause them some amusement.

One of them came across and asked why I wear a nappy , & I simply said I have too, which again caused some laughter.

Another girl from the same group then asked if I used them for number ones or twos , to which I said both, again this caused more amusement.

But that was it, they then disappeared into another bar and I expect their reaction would have been different if they had not have been drinking

Same here with me as well. When I am out in public, no one ever notices my diaper. Even when I have a t-shirt dress on as well.

I have only ever had one person notice that I was wearing something other than the usual underwear (as far as I am aware) and that was a really hot summer day when I was on a crowded train and had forgotten to tuck down the top of my disposable which I later realised was clearly visible through my very thin shirt.

This suited gentleman gave me a very strange look and did a "double take" which had me thinking "is it me" he is looking at.

Went to the toilet and to my horror could clearly see the green top of my shiny plastic nappy through my shirt ??

I had been well spotted that day and now always make sure everything is well tucked in and plastic pants waist band is below the belt line.

It left me mortified and neurotic about wearing nappies for quite some time.

These days I would just take the attitude of "oop's, move on" and never mind !

Pretty much all of my friends that I am close with know that I wear diapers for incontinence. And being good friends, they just acknowledge that I do and don't think anything more than it.

One of my friends I met in college went with me to the gym one day. He is a new friend that I made this year, and had not been previously aware that I wear diapers. We were changing in the locker room before our workout and he noticed my diaper for the first time. He did not make a big deal about it, just asked if it was what it looked like. I told him yes, and how I have to wear it because of a birth defect and I can't control my bladder. He wasn't fazed at all, and we did our whole workout as normal.

I was going to shower at home, so at the end of our workout we grabbed our stuff and returned to the car. On the walk out to the car he asked a couple of questions to better understand. Mostly things like how does it change your day-to-day, do you mind wearing them, stuff like that. I feel like he got to know and understand me better, and we've actually become even closer friends since.

People with bladder disorder and can't control been messy,what can they do??

When I go out with my aunt, before leaving she always makes sure my diaper sticks out some how. She did introduce me into 24/7 diaper wearing and as for her she wear short skirt over her diaper. We both wear disposable diapers.

We always go to stores and look at the people. While some look at us, we just keep walking. Some make funny comments. Rarely someone tells that your diaper is sticking out to us.

There were 2 special situations. We were buying something from Wal-Mart when I suddenly felt the cramps and I told my aunt I need to get out of the cashier line where was to many women there and she told me no dare to move and to use my diaper right there with her behind me. I let a big load fill up my diaper then the smell hit and the people look at me like i'm grose. Then I make the payment and get out from the line.

The other situation was when I did pick up my daughter in law. She some how noticed my diaper and asked me a lot questions and I was already soaked. I was wearing shorts and a shirt. While I was driving her to her job she told me top stop and go to a parking lot. I ask her what's wrong? She dare to tell me that for some reason she can't takeoff the diaper from her mind and told me that she want to touch it to see how it feel. I told her no but if she wants I can give her one to wear while working. She insisted me to let her touch it and I told her that I'm soaked. I was hoping she would stop but to my bad luck she told me that she would love to change me after she rubber my diaper until I cum. I told her it sound good but nooo because you are my daughter in law. She got mad and told me. Well then I will tell all the family about your diapers. (It's a secret between my wife and my aunt ) so I had no choice and let her do whatever she want in my car.

I'm not sure if anybody noticed or not. I'm in a wheelchair. I don't get out a lot. If I do I'm usually dressed in loose fitting clothes or a full dress or skirt. Before I got accustomed to wearing the right protection. I had problems with leaks. And used a incontinence pad on My wheelchair. That was embarrassing enough. Also there was a time We were out. And My bag that hangs on the back of My chair. Was left wide open by a careless caregiver. And anybody that would have bothered looking. Would have noticed the incontinence briefs, wipes etc. But I'm not sure if anybody noticed.

Sorry to hear about that Brandie1970. I have been a Diaper Lover all my life and was also recently diagnosed with Urge Incontinence. I stopped with the medication because of long term side effects fears. I wear 24/7 and I gave up caring if people notice my diapers. I do try to be discrete, but if someone notices, oh well. I am going to live my life. I had an appointment with an attorney recently for a divorce I'm going through. My attorney asked me why my wife left me and I was afraid to say why at first because my sister was in the room and it was embarrassing. I finally told the attorney that my wife left me because I have been a diaper lover since I can remember and I was recently diagnosed with urge incontinence. The attorney was shocked because of that reason and said isn't that a medical issue and I said yes. My sister didn't even care or act differently towards me when she heard everything and was mad because my wife left me and cheated on me over that reason. My dad found out because I had Rhinoplasty surgery and the doctor asked what all medications I was taking that was on the list they had. I told them I stopped taking the Oxybutynin because of long term side effects fears. He asked me what it was for. My dad was in the room and I said urge incontinence and overactive bladder and I wear diapers to deal with the problem. I told my dad I was sorry for all the personal information and it was embarrassing to me. He just told me it's part of life and it didn't bother him at all. I was relieved because I was always afraid of him thinking I was a disappointment to him if he found out. Sorry for my long life story. Please don't be afraid of what others think. Enjoy life.

A couple of years ago I was showing a family around our facility. I was diapered after a long stint with a catheter (popped my bladder and broke my pelvis in an accident). Took a while to get those muscles back! Wore coveralls over my diapers since anything tight around my midsection hurt. Anyway this family had a kid that Im guessing was about 5. He was in coveralls too. After a while, his mom asked if there was a place she could change his diaper. I showed them to a room. By that time my diaper was wet too lol. I waited with the kid while she went to their truck and got his diaper bag. She proceeded to change him. Figured he was too old for diapers but maybe because they drove for 5 hours to get here. While she was changing him, he asked, "Are you going to change his diaper too?" Meaning mine. Obviously if he knew I had a wet diaper, everyone else did too! Probably easy to tell with the smell and saggy diaper under coveralls!

Anytime were going to be out for a long period of time my wife uses a wheelchair for me. Sometimes it hurts to be on my feet for a long period of time. I sit on an incontinence pad and I wear loose fitting pajama pants with a plain onsie. My wife use a larger baby diaper bags that looks like a back pack, and she hangs it on the back of the wheelchair.

If were not going to be gone that long I usually walk. I'm still put in a onsie to help conceal my diaper, and wear shorts or pajama pants.

I know people have seen my diaper or pants showing.

I don't know, in the twenty five plus years I've been wearing no one has ever commented.

If we are out in public we try to be as discrete as possible. The top of her diaper has peaked over her shorts, or pants. No one has really said anything, but we have seen people stare.
