Describe how open you were when you talked about your diapers amongst your family. Include any euphemisms, etc. that you used.

Name	Age	Answer
Tommy	18	I wasn't open about it at all. I tried to hide the fact that I still wore diapers from everyone that I could.
		i was open
Danny	28	My parents were embarassed that I still needed and used diapers. It was never really discussed outside my immediate family. They would ask me if I was wet when I woke up and encouraged me to take care of my diapers myself.
Ryan	16	didn't know, except my brothers.
		not very often i was ashamed too have to wear them for messing my pant's
Tad	34	Whenever i needed more nightie dieties, we would talk about getting diapers.
baby_joey	26	never talked about my diapers they were a secret
bedwetter	38	i was very open avout my diapers although it was a little embarassing talking about my diapers
Tod	43	I was used to diaper wearing from an early age so talking about them felt natural.
soaker	60	It was open coversation.
		I tired to be as reserved as possible with my diapers, pretending like they never existed because it was kind of embarrassing. However my family was much different, pushing it as far into the open as possible, asking me if I needed changes, teling me I smelled. I eventually got used to it, but I never got out of the habit of anly mentioning my diapers in neccecity.
Kregg	13	Well I have to be sort of open since I have to say when I am going to use them and since there isn't anything private about me being in diapers. But I don't think we have any eupemisms or anything like that.
Chase	11	We don't have like great big discussions or anything but since I have to tell when I am going to pee or poop it is a little hard not to talk about the diapers plus every time we get punished there is this long talk about how long we have to wear them and how many we have to wear. My aunt explained euphemism to me but I don't really understand it so I don't think we have anything like that in this house.
Marc, & boys	16	though I was the oldest of my brother, while growing up, both my parents, & two older sisters, were and always talked down to me & my brothers, as being less clean & as I also fought potty training. I grew up in diapers a boy, & though many times experienced at the hands of my sisters, & parents. In growing up I knew no other clothes, nor method of peeing or pooping, because diapers & plastic baby pants were it in my life plus my brothers. We talked openly & happily as we didn't need to worry about getting dirty or about a bunch of clothes. And as both our parents, & sisters, & Grandma & Grandpa, just loved us in diapers, & said, "We were cute" We were very open & free about talking, & all of the teasing & kidding.
	64	refered to as droopy drawers

Describe the ways your parents usually talked to you about your diapers and how they talked to other people about it.

Name	Age	Answer
Tommy	18	To me, they would always ask me if I had peed or pooped in my diaper and needed changed. They would always ask me when I was going to grow up and quit using diapers. To others, they would always complain about the fact that I still went to the bathroom in my pants and would always tell their friends that I would probably graduate from high school in Huggies.
		they said i can poo and wee them and the ywill change me
Danny	28	They rarely spoke about it with people outside the family or my doctor.
Ryan	16	they didn't know
		how i should be ashamed for having to wear diaper's at my age. wich was about 10
Tad	34	They were understanding and sympothetic, since i was a bedwetter.
baby_joey	26	they never new as farn as i new
bedwetter	38	i was told not to let my wet diapers sit after i was changed or had taken them off i had to put them in the trash and take them out some times i would not take my wet diapers out right away and they would start to smell up my room and if i did not take them out i would be punished by having to sit in my wet diaper the next day until told to take it down and then i would get a spanking and rediapered for the rest of the day so that i would remember to take them out
Tod	43	They were ok about it and talked openly to other people.
soaker	60	My mother was always discusing my diaper needs.
		I don't know how many people my parents talked to about my diapers, I know that my uncles, aunts, grandparents, and friends parents knew but I was never present when they spoke about them.
Kregg	13	My parents don't tease me about my diapers or anything like that but they will say stuff like let's get you into a clean diaper and they will tell people like on the phone that I am in diapers again especially my aunts and uncles.
Chase	11	They always say stuff about needing to get changed and they always remind me that I have to tell them if I am going to pee or poop and when I first get punished they go over all the rules like you will use the diapers and not the bathroom and we will decide when to change you and stuff like that. And sometimes they talk about they have to buy more diapers but I never know why they talk about that because they have enough diapers in this house for a whole nation of boys. And they are not shy about saying to other people who don't live here that we got diapers again and sometimes I am surprised they don't just rent one of those ad boards on the highway to announce it to the whole world.
Marc, & boys	16	As we got old enough to be out of diapers, our parents, talked with family members mostly who we were around & they were all in agreement that we belonged or boys belonged in diapers, those out side of the family, that questioned us being in diapers, though not really true they told them it was for punishment, & that also we fought potty training, & wanted to stay in diapers. Our parents taught us that as boys and wearing diapers, that we were to submit & obey, be obedient to them, our sisters, & other adults. And that we were not to fight wearing, or using our diapers. Also that we were not to change or remove our diapers.
babygliders	23	i was a bed wetter there for a baby and needed diapers and if i can not go at night with out wetting then i needed to be diapered during the day and therefor i was a baby and neede to be treated like one
	64	didn't talk outside of family about diapers.

Describe the ways your brothers usually talked to you about your diapers and how they talked to other people about it.

Name	Age	Answer
		smelly
TxDryper	39	teasing
Danny	28	Never really mentioned it at all.
Ryan	16	My little brother wore diapers too. And I got my other brother to wear them once.
		don't remember too much of it.
baby_joey	26	he never new
Kregg	13	We just talk mostly about how much we hate wearing them but we talk about getting erections and stuff too and when my twin was still alive we talked about lots of stuff that I am not going to write here because I sure don't want my mom to see it.
Chase	11	I'm scared I will get in trouble if I say that stuff.
Marc, & boys	16	My brothers followed the family life stile that boys belong in diapers & just like me, we knew no difference, so we talked & wore nothing but our diapers 24/7 open & freely with no shame, we teased that we were Cutties, in our diapers, & that they showed off our bulging butts.
	64	sometimes teased me "droopy drawers"

Describe the ways your sisters usually talked to you about your diapers and how they talked to other people about it.

Name	Age	Answer
Tommy	18	My sisters would talk down to me because I still wore baby diapers. They would also tease me all the time either to my face or to their friends and would often try to humiliate me by revealing the fact I was wearing a disposable diaper to their friends.
		same
Danny	28	Have no sisters but my older female cousin loved to look after her diaper baby. She would often ask me in front of other people if I still needed a diaper and she would tell everyone that she was going to change my diapers. She still asks now about my diapers.
Ryan	16	didn't know
		had no sister's
Tad	34	They would just ask if i had my nightie dieties on or if i was wet and needed to go change myself.
baby_joey	26	she never new diapers. me, we both had a good relationship. It was very well-spirited teasing, simply because the only reason she avoided diapers was her gender. When her friends cam over she would display me like a trophy and let her friends change me, only one of her friends ever downed me for wearing diapers. My sister needless to say never spoke to her much though anyway.
Kregg	13	My little sister never says anything except she is sorry we got diapers again but my big sister is a completely different story. If she was allowed to talk about just our diapers she would make it a 24 hour conversation with anyone who will listen. When we say we have to poop she tells us we don't have to announce it to the whole world and sometimes she will say go someplace else til someone changes you but she is not allowed to tease so she is pretty careful about that. And she talks to her girl friends all the time about how we got diapers and I heard her call us babies before but I didn't tell since she would have got spanked but she is always talking abouat how big our butts are in the diapers.
Chase	11	The little one never says anything but the big one will talk to everyone about our diapers and how much it smells and how she won't ever change our diapers and stuff like that. She really likes talking to all her friends about how we got diapers and how many we got and how big our butts are but I don't think she knows we hear her say that stuff.
Marc, & boys	16	Our sisters, were advocates that we & all boys belong in diapers, they talked down to us as being lower than them on our cleanliness & hygiene. They also said that we looked cute & appropriate for boys in nothing but our Diapers. To other girls while we grew up our sisters taught other girls how to change us, & stressed that we were to submit & obey.
babygliders	23	tell friends i was a baby and teased about being a baby
	64	not outside family
