AB/DL Survey #2 Texts - Diapers

Part five explored diaper preferences, including AB/DL's fantasy diaper. That is, the diaper they fantasize about, unbound by reality or practicality. Many of the responses are presented below after a non-systematic sorting for readability.

Appearance

• I like baby diapers like Pampers® because of the pictures of cartoons on them.

Advertisements

• The diaper commercials I saw while growing up. Also, Cloth diapers, with any cover, run a close second to this, and quality in the diaper is almost more important than any other features.

Availability

• When I first started wearing diapers again these were the types of diapers that were available.
• The original Attends® (mid-late 90s). I first bought adult diapers in the late 90s (about age 17). The Attends® reminded me of large baby diapers that properly fit me. The smell, feel, sound took me back to the diapers that used to be in my closet or in storage as a very young kid just out of diapers.
• My friend (the girl next door) brought some diapers to me one day.. They were square shaped blue diapers that felt extremely soft and nice to wear. I've been wanting them ever since... I can't remember the diaper I had to use when I was a baby...

Combinations

• Actually, I prefer a disposable diaper with plastic backing that looks as close to a baby diaper as possible. I like plastic pants over the diaper. However, I'm open to a wide variety of diapers.
• Any disposable so long as I have plastic pants,
• I put plastic pants over cloth, however my favorite is actually plastic pants over a disposable......but there wasn't an option for it! I like cloth, but the pins are too much messing about, and the Velcro ones are not the same.
• I did not see what I like in diaper fantasy types: I like clear plastic pants with no cloth. I also like elimination in feminine underwear without plastic pants. "Wetting" undies is one of my interests.

Because of the number of possible combinations and the need to be able to contrast Q7, Q58, and Q62, only the basic few types could be included. For the same reasons, the choice of gauze, flannel, birdseye, or terry was also not offered among the cloth diaper options, and no pull-up options were given.

Compatibility with Adult Toys

• Ease of application, affordability, and environmentalism, I prefer things I can reuse, and apply by myself. Also it should be fairly thick and dense, and wide enough to force the wearer to waddle, with extra padding straight down the center to hold toys in better. A somewhat rough texture, such as the rough "hook" side of hook and loop tape, across the seat would be a plus.

Convenience

• I come from a diaper-friendly family in which most of the women have needed diapers after puberty. Granny and Mom used pinned flat Curity® 21x40" gauze diapers and vinyl panties. I was taught to pin my own diapers when I reverted to wetting at puberty. For university and law school I had to learn to use adult disposables, but as soon as I had a home with a washing machine I returned to gauze diapers. Of course since I am bladder incontinent I need some form of disposable to function as a responsible adult attorney, but disposables do nothing for my AB fantasy coping-strategy.
• I enjoy using both cloth diapers with plastic pants or disposable diapers too. It depends on the situation and what I am doing. There certainly is a total difference in feeling for the one wearing. I also have used locking diapers or locking plastic pants on my bottom
• My mother used cloth diapers for my younger siblings. But I also like the size and feel of cloth. They just work better. However I also like disposable-it's nearly a tie for me. And it depends on the context--home or work for example makes a huge difference.
• i wore cloth with rubber pants as a baby/toddler, and also at night until I was 10. now I wear disposables mostly for convenience because I don't feel like washing. I've gotten quite used to disposables. Cloth and rubber pants are in my fantasy but not a part of my day to day diaper experiences.

Discretion/Unconcealability

• I enjoy the idea of being unable to take them off or hide that I'm wearing them and I prefer one that is at least 3 to 4 inches thick with cute baby prints and a very loud crinkle.

Infinite Capacity

• It was going to be a standard comfy one until the magic element was considered, and then I recalled that the perfect one in my mind is self-cleaning so it never needs to be removed!

Locks

• Baby diapers and diapers like Bambinos influenced my selection and of course my own fantasy. I'd picture my diapers just like and adult sized baby diaper, with the Mickey Mouse and Disney pictures, with more absorption and then some type of mechanism that would prevent me from taking it off for at least 2 hours.

Pull-Ups®

• Actually would like to go back a popular system called sta-dri pants . I had some that were plastic panty w/ cloth+padding sewed in , but also had ties (3) on each side instead of snaps.

Security/Leaks

• I always wear PVC pants over disposables. Usually wearing PVC pants with a cotton lining. I wear a booster pad at the front at night. My fantasy is based on total safety that I can wet anywhere at any time without leaks smell or anyone knowing.
• I just want a diaper that will work. Especially one at night. Most current diapers don't have enough on the sides to prevent a leak if laying on your side at night. This is a primary reason I use cloth diapers and the high-backed plastic pants at night.

Sounds

• The feel of the cover, the sound of it crinkling and crackling and rustling. I live in a world which is currently dominated by sound (I have hyperacusis and tinnitus related to Meniere's Disease). My hands running over the slick plastic cover, making it crinkle and rustle, feeling the thickness of it, and the softness of the inside, tell me almost as much about a diaper as what I can see about it.
• I like the crinkling noise that diapers make, it adds a sense of danger.
• The sound of tape before changing the diapers

Tapes

• I always wanted to recapture the exact feeling of a baby diaper as an adult. Crinkly, thick, with single tapes, and possibly a cute printed tape zone. Even today's best adult and adult baby diapers have two sets of tapes, fit the same as an adult incontinence brief, and are hardly the same relative thickness as a baby diaper is to a real baby.

Thickness/pressure

• I was influenced by a thick diaper that is totally saturated. My ideal diaper needs to be thick enough to surround my penis completely when it swells up with urine. I also like to have that diaper on tightly. I enjoy the added pressure on the prostrate, and butt.
• Cloth with either pin or hook and loop. It would be a soft blue, and then clear plastic over it. And it has to be thick. I wanna know it's there 24/7.
• I have no idea why I prefer cloth diapers. I have some basic memories of mom occasionally using cloth for diapering me, but I don't remember how long or how often. All I know is that I prefer the feel of cloth diapers over disposables, even though I usually wear the disposables for convenience reasons. My fantasy diapers are just general very thick cloth pinned on the sides. It would have a very thick layer of padding going all the way through my crotch making it difficult to push my legs together, even when it is dry. Over top would be good thick plastic pants to keep my clothes dry and help prevent leaks. The pants may be varying colors, but prints are not really a big concern of mine.

What babies wore

• I actually prefer Velcro-closing diaper covers instead of vinyl pants, but that wasn't an option. I think I like these because they're what cloth diapered babies use currently, and I like the current fashions!
• It's the classic baby diaper of the early 80's, which were the first I was exposed to when my AB/DL interests began to emerge.
• When watching real-life mothers and big sisters change their sons/brothers in disposable diapers, I often thought to myself how badly I'd like to be diaper changed into a disposable just like the ones I see being used.
• Basically the diapers my bro had to wear for his bedwetting... They were Attends® 8 or 9 small or even something smaller if I remember right.... but I don't much care, as long as it feels "right"... I prefer plastic backed stuff, but am OK with cloth-backed diapers.... Today I prefer Tena® diapers for their feel, fit, capacity and comfort.

What I Wore as a Baby

• I think my selection of fantasy diaper is heavily influenced by the type of diaper which I "grew up" with.
• I believe it was the diapers I was raised in. They were the thick and had the plastic backing. The crinkle is important to me. It is this kind of diaper I remember and that is what a diaper should be in my opinion
• What I wore as a baby. Terry nappies and plastic pants.
• Probably a subconscious memory of what I wore as a baby.
• The diapers I was in as a child. There were no disposables in the late 30's and I'm not sure if wool or other soakers were being used and exactly when plastic pants became common..
• My age.......... cloth diapers were the only available diaper at the time of my childhood. Plastic pants have always been a part of wearing diapers. I like my diapers fairly thick and most of the time have at least one or two stuffers (baby cloth diapers) inside my diaper. I like different prints on my diapers. I think they look more babyish.
• More like the kind I grew up with. I can remember back to when I was 2 years old, and I wore the Pampers® from the 1980s.
• Definitely my early infancy. Being born in 1981, I wore both the original rectangular-shaped diapers and briefly, (likely no more than a year) wore a more hour-glassed shaped product. I continue to make homemade diapers and they come very close to my fantasy. For one, they are huge, some 55-inches around, very thick and bulky and the plastic is very crinkly. It's as if I crave the bulk of cloth diapers but envision them as disposables.
• What I grew up in. For me, a real diaper is cloth covered with plastic pants.
• My fantasy nappy is very simple: a terry nappy covered with frosted white plastic pants. It's what I remember wearing when I was a baby (and bedwetter) and it simply feels more 'genuine' to me than a disposable nappy.
• Those were the ones that were around when I grew up in the 1970's. They are rectangular, white, and cloth-like with no plastic backing. Although later came some variants that had plastic backing. They are held in place by specially designed thin sheets of plastic that are tied at your hips.

What I Also Wore as a Baby

• I wore cloth for 90% of my childhood, but disposable diapers were relatively new and my folks used them for travel, overnights once I was training etc. I remember the novelty of disposables and kind of bonded with them - and growing up I watched disposables get more features and thickness, etc. and I wanted them more and more. At least until they made them thin and then removed the plastic. The obviousness of thick disposables that crinkle is very important to me. Late 80's early 90's Huggies® in my size would be the best thing ever.
• My interest in diapers dates back as long as I can remember, and the iconic diaper for my age group was the classic, plastic backed, disposable. While my parents apparently used cloth during some points of my infancy, I only remember disposables.
