Q: Daytime Diapers

I have started to wear diapers in the daytime under my clothes,  I know no one is looking but you always are subconsious about it, Do others keep their shirt untucked? Or wear lose fitting pants? Or what do you think the best option for people not to notice?

First of all when selecting a daytime diaper the most important is fit. If the fit isn't right then you will leak (plus if they fit good you shouldn't really feel like you are wearing a diaper more like wearing underware). I personally prefer the Attends with waistband for daytime use for several reasons. They fit very well and the crotch area has enough room for a quality booster pad. The Attends are thin, and quiet enough that I dont wear anything over them. I am very active and I personally dont wear plastic pants over my diaper simply because it gets to hot.

The most important thing to remember is to constantly check yourself to make sure you are not leaking!

You need to tell us more Joey.. are you wearing disposable (Depends etc) diapers or cloth diapers.. are you wearing waterproof overpants (plastic or rubber or nylon).. IF you are wearing disposables are you using a booster pad for extra absorbency (such as a baby diaper or boost pad made for extra absorbency).. see the bulk is what will determine how to dress.. you are 100% correct.. NO ONE CARES AND NO ONE IS LOOKING.. the thing is over wetting and leaking.. THAT becomes a problem Joey.. to combat that I wear dark trousers and actually I wear pretty full fitting trousers.. I also wear (over the disposable diapers and that is what I wear) cotton briefs and above-the-knee cotton pants rolled up AND water proof over pants (I prefer rubber and plastic) so I have a lot of bulk but I stay 100% dry 95% of the time.. sometimes I do wear long tail shirts left out.. also black in color.. good luck Joey.. you sure are not alone..

Joey, 

 

You need to be conscious when you stand up or bend over but many times those of us who have to wear diapers are paranoid.  I can tell you that I never look at my coworkers crotches and I am sure that most don't look at mine or cracks for the matter.  I wear Abena X-plus every day because I am a big wetter and need the protection.  I work in an office environment and need to have my shirt tucked in at all times.  To help I usually put underwear on over the diaper which quites it a little and covers the diaper so hopefully they'll see the waistband of the underwear and not the diaper.

I have worn day diapers for the past 2 years (cloth with printed plastic pants). Obviously I do not wish to "show off" my diapers, so I oredered a onesie to wear over the diapers. it also helps to hold my diaper in place
