Describe the styles (including plain) of plastic pants you have, the thickness and type of material used on them. Which ones do you like the best and why? Which ones do you like the least and why?

Name	Age	Answer
tomar	22	I usually wear white Comco plastic pants over my diapers
BobG	63	I wear plastic pants from V.I.P because they are just like the Gerber pants babies wear and I have never had a leak while wearing them.
dean	49	most of my plastic pants are from llmedico. I have about 4 dozen over half are pull on. I have print and clear. but my favs are blue stars
Jim	12	I have all types. My favorites are the ones with dinosaurs on them.
DiaperDon	37	As a kid, I don't remember having any except the plain white Gerber pull-on style plastic pants. As an adult, I have some ACD pull-on plastic pants, and some heavy-weight pull-on plastic pants. The regular ones, tend to get holes and tear too easily, and all but one pair now has holes. I love the heavy-weight ones, and plan on getting more like them.
joe	6	i can not walk i have to crow like a baby
Jimmy	60	I have every kind available except solid colors. I prefer the plain white frosted ones best
Allen	52	Half of them are snap white or colored that are some what thick.I have the snap type because of alot of surgeries-makes diaper changing easier on care giver. I've been diapered agood part of my life so i'm use to always having them on
Nicholas	12	Most of my plastic pants are white. I have some colored or with prints. I have pull on plastic pants and plastic pants with snaps. The ones with snaps are best if its warm because air can get into my diaper.
soaker	63	Pull-on style are the best. Less leaks at night. I have worn plain and prints (mother made me wear prints and pastels).The baby prints were very embaressing for a 16 year old to be seen in. Most of the sitters though they were cute. And loved to fell my bottom for wetness. When I was young the rubber and then plastic pants were very thick and made noise when you walked. If the bulge didn't give your diapers away your plastic pants sure would.
Jimbo	59	Heavy Duty clear or translucent plastic pants
57 and wet	57	tranquility atn with plastic over them durring the day 2 cloth weth 3 liners with plastic pants for night
dav	14	i wear all types of plastic pants. i don t like them i have to wear them for punishment
chris	16	i have green, clear(love these), clear with flowers(hate these), and blue with baby parifinalia
Jerry	36	I use the Gerber style vinyl pants at home, terry lined plastic pants when I go out.
	24	I wear both the plain translucent, and the solid colors (especially pink!) I wear both full cut and bikini style. The plastic/vinyl is fairly thick. I like the types supplied by Fetware the best, and the type from medical supply companies the least.
Brian	15	My plastic pants are actually four white disposable trash bags that give my makeshift diaper a disposable diaper feel.
Byron, Timothy, Kevin, D.J. & Marc (Ages 12 yr. to 17 yr.)	14	They are an absolute pare of a boys Diaper wear, a must, I like the fact that when a boys is wearing plastic baby pants, that they can not be hidden because of the noice they make
Incontinent Guy	52	All of my plastic pants are just regular-fit briefs that are made to fit over my pull-on cloth diapers. I usually wear polyurethane panties over my diapers. I like them because they last a lot longer, are impervious to oils, and I can see my pastel or print diapers through them. At first I thought they were too noisy, but now I enjoy hearing them rustle quietly under my jeans. I'm the only one who knows! I also have some polka-dot plastic pants that are fun to wear over white diapers. During hot weather, sometimes I wear waterproof nylon panties.
Jdiap	28	I like thick ones... they hold up over time.

What do you like about plastic pants? What do you dislike about plastic pants? Do you ever feel they are not necessary and if so, why?

Name	Age	Answer
tomar	22	Plastic pants help contain leaks and odors from urine in my diaper and they keep a soaked diaper in place until it can be changed.
BobG	63	They feel wonderful, like I'm a baby again.
Jim	12	They help prevent leaks, but sometimes the leg and waistbands pinch me. They're really only needed at night, but my mom makes me wear them all the time.
DiaperDon	37	I love the look and feel of my plastic pants. I sometimes also like the crinkling sound, but most often I wish they didn't crinkle so nobody would know I was wearing.
Jimmy	60	I love the feel and texture of the plastic. They are always necessary for me when I wear my cloth diapers to bed.
Allen	52	i've always worn them
poptart	12	plastic pants are often uncomfortabl but they are necessisary to stop leaks
Nicholas	12	I like plastic pants because of the plastic and when i pee or poop in my diapers it wont leak because i wear plastic pants ;-) If it is very warm it gets very hot inside plastic pants :-(
		I have to wear them to stay dry. The newer plastic make less noise then the older ones were.
Jimbo	59	They keep my outer clothes dry.Sometimes very difficult to pull up over my diapers.Never felt that they weren't necessary!I always use them to protect my outer clothing.
57 and wet	57	they keep the outer areas dry while the rest is wet
abdl_mark	26	i dont have to worry about overloading my diapers and i dont have to constantly check my diapers to see if i need changed.
dav	14	they are not nessacery i don't wet that bad. my mom said if i don't wear them i will leak.
chris	16	i like the extra protection but i do not like the clear with flowers, but totally needed
Jerry	36	I like them roomy so they puff out and let air circulate. They are absolutely necessary when using cloth diapers. When I go out, I wear disposable diapers and put terry lined plastic pants over them in case the disposable leaks.
	24	I like the way they look and control leaks. They're also fun to wear without diapers.
Brian	15	They add a lot of crinkly noise to my makeshift diaper ^_^
Incontinent Guy	52	I love plastic pants because they keep my clothes and bed dry and keep me from embarrassing myself when I wet myself. I don't like the heat build-up from wearing plastic pants, and they keep perspiration in. It's a hassle to always make sure that my shirt doesn't pull out.
Jdiap	28	I like plain diaper... I like hearing it crinkle... but most of the time I need the plastic of course when I wear cloth.

Describe the times when you went without plastic pants and wished you had worn them.

Name	Age	Answer
tomar	22	Can never remember not wearing palstic pants
		That never happened
soaker	63	I always wear them over my disposable diapers on trips. This one time I didn't think it was going to be that long so I just wore the disposable without the plastic pants. My wife decided she wanted to make a side trip to one of our friends house. By the time we got to the lady friends house I had soaked the diaper so bad that my wife noticed some wetness on the leg of my shorts. My wife ask our friend if I could change out of my wet diapers. The women did not know I was a wetter and her and my wife talk for an hour about my wetting problems. Our friend called a close friend of her's that had a husband that wet and got me extra diapers for me to wear until my shorts were dry. I needed another change before we left for home.
