Plastic or Rubber

Plastic pants or Rubber pants? What do you call yours? I call them rubber pants. Its actually 2 words that get my attention. I understand the difference in the materials. Just curious what everyone else calls theirs.

I'm technically not into diapers as a kink, but I am a rubber lover and a switch. If my female partner as Domme one day wanted to put me into a diaper and rubber pants over it, either because of a recent or ongoing enema or just for submission, I'd be very happy to comply and enjoy it. Plastic would do nothing for my arousal, but rubber would be delightful, and the diaper/rubber pants would be a nice submissive tool.

Speaking of female partner (I'm straight as an arrow), does anyone here, especially women, find "female partner" offensive or unfeminist and prefer to use "woman partner?" I've read that female in that construction rankles some, perhaps because it doesn't necessarily imply an adult female. Just curious.

Rather think it is best to call them what they are.

Rubber pants and other garments are made of latex rubber.

Plastic pants and garments are made of plastic - a synthetic substance.

I find rubber as used in rubber pants to be elastic, very flexible and so, so comfy to wear.

Some plastic as used in plastic pants is very stiff and not elastic at all. It can chafe and cause sores so easily.

PVC, whilst technically a plastic, is somewhere between - flexible so as not to chafe - and so is fine for plastic pants.

But, rubber is definitely best! even though the most expensive!

I am thinking about starting to wear cloth diapers and didn't know there were plastic and rubber pants. If I am going to "baby" myself, I want to go all the way. Which do you think is better, plastic or rubber for the truest feeling of being a "baby"?

I have always used plastic pants over my cloth diapers.i love how they are roomy an poff out all around my hips.i just suggest hand washing these often an hang up to dry out of direct sunlight,they will last longer.hit me up to if you want to be cloth diapered friends and chat.

I prefer plastic pants even though they don't last nearly as long. The rubber ones tend to be "grabby" when you pull them up or take them off, and in bed they grip the blankets making it difficult to move around.

I love rubber ones.

Pvc and rubber are the greatest.

Back at the original post's actual question: What do you call them?

I think it's an age thing- if you are older and you grew up when diaper covers were made out of rubber, then you'll tend to call them "rubber pants", no matter what they are actually made of.

If when you were born later, when they were made out of plastic, you'll tend to call them "plastic pants", again, no matter what material they're actually made of.

Kinda like how we all call facial tissues "Kleenex", no matter what brand they are . . .

I was born in the 50s and plastic pants were always referred to as rubber pants. If I have my mind wondering through my DL fantasies and there is the mention of rubber pants. Say from a playmate or caregiver I literally go weak in the knees.

I grew up long before the 1950's and obviously used rubber pants as an infant and toddler. It was the 60's when I started using diapers again, and plastic pants were the order of the day. Research tells me that plastic started taking the place of rubber in the 1950's I have tried rubber once and the pants were so heavy I couldn't keep them above my ankles. Not practical!

Everybody around me when I was a kid called them "rubber pants". I was born in 54 and by then there was pretty much just plastic pants out there but "rubber pants" was the term everyone used. It was that way even in the sixties and early seventies when all my cousins were in diapers. When I was young the threat of being put in rubber pants and diapers was feared by all of us. It was funny when it was someone else that got the treatment though.

The "Diapers and Rubber Pants" edict still makes me shiver.

For you older folks was the threat of being put back into diapers all that common? I heard stories of 60s parents putting kids in diapers for misbehavior or for leaking an enema.

Navy Trooper, Around my parts the threat was almost universal. At least in large families. Any means of getting the kids OUT OF DIAPERS! was useful. I was potty trainer at 18 months as was all my siblings. We all had recurrences and they were all met with "Diapers and Rubber Pants" The last time for me was when I was 6 and thought I could pee just a little bit and not have to go to the bathroom at a theme park. Well, I ended up soaking my pants. Dad marched me out to the old Rambler totally pissed off. I got put in the back of the station wagon while he rummaged thru my little sisters diaper bag . Out came the "Diapers and Rubber Pants". I was instantly mortified, terrified and completely emotionally drained. I laid there in shock as Dad roughly tossed me on the diapers and pinned me in. Up came the plastic pants. All the while passer by's gawked at the boy being diapered. He threw a blanket at me and told me to cover up. It wasn't long till the rest of the family got to the car and they all found out I was diapered. That's when the razzing started from my sisters. All the way home on a three hour ride. I was let out of them at bedtime. Whew, that was rough back then....

I wear plastic pants over my nappies at night and during the day if I am not going to be able to change often.

Oh man me too, that sounds intense.

Grew up in the 60's, and I can't tell you how many times I heard the phrase "you want to act like a baby, maybe you need diapers". It was mostly an empty threat, mom wouldn't go back to diapers for love or money, but you couldn't be sure of that then and there.

I call them plastic pants cause I'm sure they are made of plastic. I think the rubber ones would be thicker and heavier. Mine are light and make a lot of rustle noise so I'm sure they are plastic. My mom has always called them plastic pants also, so that's also why I call them that.

I was born in 1947 and I'm sure that the kids a little younger than I were still routinely in rubber pants. But by my teens (early 1960's) Kids were in plastic ones (kind of rustling ones) although the usually were called rubber pants. And disposables were starting to show up but mostly when traveling as they were very expensive. At least you didn't have to put the dirty ones in a diaper bag and bring them home.

My parents called them "rubber pants" even though they were actually plastic or vinyl. I was born shortly after WWII. My first recollection were Gerber's plastic pants and that's all my sister and I wore until we stopped wetting our beds. Ever since I've called my plastic pants "rubber pants" even though they are plastic of some type-PULs, vinyl, PETA. I had a pair of actual rubber pants once from a fetish supply store in Hollywood, but didn't like them, too hard to get on and off easily, they tended to stick to my skin, I didn't feel like they breathed well, didn't care for the smell and they seemed to tear too easily. On the plus side they fit well and didn't leak. I've always assumed that before WWII, people used actual rubber or maybe latex, but once the war started rubber was for military use and rationed so they turned to plastic.

My first experience was with plastic (vinyl) pants. They were actually my younger sister's. I enjoyed the naughty feeling it gave me as I rubbed my penis through the clear, soft plastic.

I was a baby of the 60's, and i think most people were using actual plastic pants by then (remember the Gerber pants)? I'm pretty sure that what my siblings had on over our diapers. My mom actually referred to them as "diaper pants" as well as plastic pants. Now all of mine are PUL type, which I guess is plastic. In my posts I call them plastic pants, diaper pants, baby pants and a plastic panty. They all refer to the same thing though, that is my favourite kind of pants - plastic, puffy and covering a cloth diaper!

I was the youngest and never heard of plastic or rubber pants. When I was around eleven the year was 1958 I looked at diapers and waterproof viny pants in my moms Sears catlogs. So for a long time they were vinyl to me.

I wear plain white plastic pants over my diaper- they (somewhat) help with diaper leakage overnight, or If I don't get changed during the day. Dan

First, to me, they are not pants. They are panties made from plastic or rubber. I was born in the mid 60's and raised in cloth diapers and plastic panties. My mother called them plastic pants or panties. My grandmothers and other older relatives (aunts) usually called them rubber pants. When I was older and still wearing diapers to bed. Often they would be called baby pants just to add a bit of embarrassment to the fact I still needed diapers.

Always plastic pants now and when growing up, although many adults in the family called them pilchers when I was a kid.

I have always called them rubber pants even when they were plastic as a kid.

As an incontinent adult my rubber pants aren’t actual pants, I wear rubber bloomers over my diapers.

When i was little they were called rubbers or rubber pants, and those words grab my interest as soon as i hear them but it seems most people on the forums call them plastic pants which i also do when chatting with others. I do have many pair of plastic pants and 1 pair of rubber pants, and i have to say that when i bought the rubber ones i was and am very disappointed in the feel of them, hey ho i'll stick with plastic pants, rubbers.

As a young boy at age 14 still wetting my bed or sometimes during the day, our Governess always called them rubbers or rubber panties. She had rubber pants for me but later is was plastic. But she continued to say "you still need to be put in your rubbers"
