"old school" plastic/rubber pants?

One of the things I remember as a kid was that plastic pants had a 'scent', kind-of like the heavy vinyl mattress protectors you can buy. Is it possible to buy plastic pants any more that actually have a plasticy/vinyl scent?

Same thing with rubber pants ... many years ago you could buy rubber pants (and clothing) that had a very sweet scent, something heady and intoxicating. There used to be a company - think it was called rubberlife - that made stuff, though it was over-priced]. The only rubber baby pants i see on ebay now are natural latex which doesn't have the feel or smell. 😢

(Ok, i'm showing my age) 😜

I don't have any memories of my plastic pants from childhood having a smell. Not to say they didn't, just don't recall it. But it seems to me, most of the plastic pants I buy now start out with a plastic, or vinyl smell to them. And as far as rubber pants, the ones I have always seem to have a bit of a skunky smell to them.

I have a photo of me at age 16 months old in just a cloth diaper and see thru plastic pants standing out in front of our house. The diaper was sagging to the bottom of my pants, so I must have been very wet. I was potty trained by age 2 and have not real memory of the smell of my plastic pants, but at age 6 or so I know I would get excited when I smelled baby pants so there must be some sort of repressed memory there. Same with the feel.

When I was a youngster we would take a bus to church every Sunday. It would go past a factory that made vinyl sheeting. There was always a smell of baby powder in the air as we passed the factory. Years latter I figured out that they made plastic for baby panties. And yes I remember the plastic panties I had to wear at night smelled like baby powder. The name of the factory was Pantasote. A little research showed they made vinyl products. My knowledge knows they made vinyl for baby pants etc.

I think Pantasote, made Dorsey brand plastic baby pants in the 50's -60's.

Yes, latex. a number of circa 40's early 50's photos and home movies do show thought that some kids were wearing latex rubber. some the cheaper "gum" rubber. wonder what yours were made out of?

Anyone out there who prefers real rubber (latex, gum, whatever...) to plastic pant?

why? is it that you are old enough to have worn them and can remember that?

personally i do not remember being diapered, let alone rubber panted. but from an early age i have had a very strong attraction to rubber pants. maybe it is the words as much as the material that resonate for me.

memories?

I’m pretty sure, I never wore rubber pants as a child, only plastic panties. I grew up in the 60’s, and plastic pants were the thing. But my mom, referred to them as rubber pants a lot. I’ve always had a thing for plastic pants, and when I was able as an adult, to get adult plastic pants, I did so, very much so. I also, always wonder about rubber pants, so I bought some of those when I could too. I get a kick from either now, but my first love, is for plastic panties.

When I was a baby the only thing we ever wore were plastic baby pants. Mom called them "rubber pants" and probably did so because that's what she wore when she was a baby. So even though us kids never wore a real rubber panty, that's what we all called them. This was in the 50s and 60s. For some reason I developed a powerful attraction to baby pants. Whenever one of us kids had an accident, the "diapers and rubber pants" threat was issued. It always sent a chill through me. My younger sister and brother actually ended up diapered. My sister, for quite a while.

I too miss the scent of the old school baby pants. I used to like to hold them to my nose an smell the that intoxicating baby pants smell. Too bad the recipe for PVC has changed. Now the only scent in "rubber pants" that takes me back is that faint pee smell that results from the previous nights bed wetting accident. Some things never change....

Rears has some that remind me a lot of the ones I wore as a kid. Don't think they're as heavy though.

I wore plastic pants (they were called baby pants in our house) over cloth diapers at night until I was 10. And for trips and whenever I had an accident. I do remember that vinyl smell though...and many many diaper changes.

This especially for metoo:

do not despair. there are a lot of european and one brazil makers of latex rubber baby pants.

admittedly, they cost a dollar but hey, value for money. one recent discovery of mine is gukowe.de. really beautiful quality of design and manufacture. i recently got a large of their Phoenix design. so sweet.

if you have specific memories (which i do not) of rubber pants you yourself wore, i guess it get's harder replicating that. i assume we would be talking a late 40's product and likely not playtex.

if you're interested, email me and i'll send you a list of german/european makers i recommend. mdskuce[]telus[]net

I've been scrolling down a facebook site which talk/discussions about life in the 60s & 70s, I found it easier on my smart phone than I could on my Computer. Anyway I was scrolling down the page and I came across threee pairs of "Rubber Pants " hanging on the line. I even found myself becoming aroused. Anyway the subject was how wives got on looking after baby and diaper changing ect. Obviously "Rubbers" were talked about how they would crack & become brittle so quick, and how lovely it was to see a line full of Diapers & Rubbers blowing on the line. There was a lot of love for the plastic pants or "Rubber Pants", as the mothers called them. Many said how they miss not seeing them on lines ect and how much better for all concerned to lessen land fill sites. But I was deeply aroused to see the words "Rubber Pants " mentioned by so many who used them on their babies. Whilst Plastic Pants was mentioned, it was more Rubber Pants!
