Describe in more detail the visual indications to others that your diapers had been changed.

NameAgeAnswer
DAVY  17they no longer sagged
tomar  25The bulge in my jeans or shorts was not a large as the soaked diaper
Bob Barker  17I only wore diapers for bedwetting/pooping, so in the morning my diapers were taken off until nighttime.
  13they had been higher up, not sagging, smelled fresh, sometimes without pants, dirty diaper in area.

Cameron  16i usually lost my pants after a change that was the most often visual sign.
chris  16no sag no bad smells
  15the wetness indicator went away
Mike P.  57There weren't many visual indications that I had been changed. As long as my pants were dry/clean and didn't need to be changed, it wasn't that obvious visually that I had been changed. In school I usually changed myself for the last time just before dismissal. Sometimes if I had pooped myself, I didn't have enough time to take care of everything for fear of missing the school bus.

Often I wouldn't tuck my shirt in, fasten my belt, and sometimes neglected to pull my pants' zipper up in my haste to get out of the boys' room and out to the bus. I frequently look very dissheveled when I got on the school bus, and I knew many of the kids on the bus knew that I had just changed myself. I'm disabled due to spina bifida and I wear diapers because I'm incontinent.

  Wet spots didn't show on pants.
jere  18pants were no longer sagging and I didn't smell like pee or poop
Warren  56I would just have on a dry cloth diaper without pants or without plastic pants. I would be allowed or told to just be in a dipaer for awhile. After some time, I would be told to put on pants or told to come and lay on the floor to have plastic pants put on me.
baby john  6there wasn`t any soggy spots on the front of my diapers or any brown lumpy spots in back of diaper and no puddles in my plastic panties
allen  53The suspenders were in a different spot and my shirt was tucked in more

soaker  63The smell of baby powder was a gave away.
chris  16baby powder and lotion smell instead of pee/poop smell
  15it smelled really ripe
Mike P.  57Sometimes if I smelled wet before getting changed, I'd smell better afterwards (or least sometimes less wet). If my urine leaked though my rubber pants and my pants became wet, then I probably still smelled after getting changed. When I had a BM away from home (like at school), I stilled smelled dirty even after getting changed. At home I usually had the opportunity to do a better job of cleaning myself up after a bowel movement.
  It was gone
jere  18smelled like baby powder instead of like pee or poop
Warren  56I was only allowed to pee in my diaper so they were only wet. Usually it did not smell much given the thick layers.

N/A  13smelled of diaper perfume

Describe how your mother and/or your father physically checked your diapers (touched your diapers) before you were changed:

NameAgeAnswer
DAVY  17they felt if the diaper was wet at the front
tomar  25Both my mother and father could tell when I needed a diaper change by feeling the front of my diaper
Bob Barker  17They would feel the diaper or pull on it and look down. This was only if I had not changed them myself by this time.
  13my parents didnt physically check me.
Mike J  18they usually looked down my front and back and felt both sides of them
Robby  37I was usually called by mom to come to her. She would ask me, "Are you wet?" or "Do you need a change." She wouldn't wait for me to answer. She would stick her finger in my diaper or pull it back and check. Then she would tell me, "You need to be changed." She would grab my hand and lead me to my room where there was a chaning table. If I passed inspection and did not need a change, she would say, "Very good. You are being a big boy."
dog2dog  32mom touch the front and back and put her hand down the front or back of diaper. dad just put his hnd down the front or felt onn top.
Nicholas  12My mom always seems to know everytime i have pooped in my diapers. If i deny it she always cheks my diapers. If i have pooped she ask me to come close to her. Then she opens my pants and pulls them down. Then she ask me to turn around and she pulls out my plastic pants and looks down in my diapers. She also sniffes. If she thinks i have peed only she puts down a hand in the front of my diaper.
Cameron  16whenever i woke up it was usually to my mom checking my diapers. she would feel the front of it if she couldn't smell it already. when we were at my aunts and ucles house my mom would always ask my older cousin to check my diapers "alex can you feel if cameron has wet his diaper?"
chris  16patted butt and privates
  15They would check the front by feeling it the would pull the back to check for poop
Mike P.  57After a certain age, my parents didn't depend on physical contact to determine if I needed to be changed. Up until the time I began going to the bathroom on my own (changing myself), I'm sure my mother occasonally looked in the back in my diaper to see if I was soiled, but I think she mostly went by smell.
  Pulled back to see if there was a mess in there.
jere  18my dad never checked mt diaper. mom would ask, "are you stinky, or are you wet"? If I said yes, she change me.If I said no and she didn't believe me, she would make me come over and turn around. She would first feel my bottom for poop, then if I smelled like poop, she would pull the back of the diaper out and look inside.
Warren  56I lived with my Dad. He would either walk up to me and squeeze the front of the diaper or come from behind and reach around and feel the front of the diaper in the plastic pants. Usually it was warm unless I had the diaper on for a long time. He could tell by his touch to the front.
baby john  6mommy or daddy would come up to me and hold me and stick finger in leg openings of plastic panties and feel for wetness and slide finger back in back to feel for doodoo. sometimes they would stick nose at back of diaper and smell. sometimes i loaded my diaper so full of doodoo that there was no mistaking i had doodooed in my diaper that a big lump appeared in the back of my diaper and a hand to the back was suffucuent.
allen  53Mom used to touch the front to see how wet they were
john  22I always got the finger under my bum. I was always surprise how my mom never cared if her finger got as dirty as the diaper.
Byron, Timothy, Kevin, D.J.(ages 12-16)  14They would call us to them or grab us and then feel both the front and back through our plastic baby pants, if no stains or signs appeared they would usually pull the back open and look inside and the same with the front.

N/A  13squished the front and back of the diaper
alexander  10come to me pull down my pants if i have them on, stick their finger in the crotch to feel around, rub the back of my diaper, pull the back of my diaper away, smell me stuff like that.

Mike P.  57They were more likely to comment on the fact that I needed to get changed rather than the fact the I had been changed. As an adolescent I was very resentful of my incontinence, my need to wear diapers, etc. At home on weekends or over vacations, I was very lazy about going to the bathroom on a regular basis and avoided going to the bathroom for as long as possible. Needless to say, I often smelled wet (because I was :) )and my parents used to get annoyed at me and would tell me to go to the bathroom or threaten to change me if I wasn't going to do it on my own.

Mike P.  57As I got older, I didn't like it when anybody commented on the fact that I needed to be changed. I didn't think it was anybody else's business but my own and as long as I could take care of myself and wasn't asking anyone to change me, I didn't want anyone to mention it. Of course when I was told by my parents to get to the bathroom, I usually did what I was told.
ThicknDry  57A little embarrassed, but nothing awful
Warren  56I loved to be changed and to be touched and dryed. I love how it feels to wipe my wet bottom. I always was happy when I was being changed and felt like I had done something good. I felt proudn being put in a dry diaper. It didn't take long to change my feelings to shame once my brother or Dad made me feel bad. They held it over me that wore diapers. Dad had put them on me when I was about 4 or 5 ands was starting to wet the bed and my pants. I was upset about the divorce. Dad made a simple decision and I was put in diapers. I wore them until I went to college when I was home and I still wear them today when I want to really relax.
baby john  6it doesn`t bother me i love to play in wet and stinky diapers. i run from anybody wanting to check or change my diapers. i feel like a diaper baby when i have a thick fresh diaper between my legs and fresh plastic panties onand smell like a fresh diapered baby!
