Explain the limitations you faced with leaving the house because of wearing diapers and having no pants to wear. Under what circumstances did you leave the house while in diapers without pants on? Why did you still not wear any pants over your diapers?

Name	Age	Answer
Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)	14	All our lives we've worn nothing but diapers 24/7 so we've gotten used to those who tease or make fun of us, we tell all boys, "We're boys and All boys, belong in and should use Diapers just as we do."
Ben	44	My Dad would be working around the garage and needed to go buy a part for the truck and would call to me and tell me he needed to go NOW. I would be told to jump in the back seat of the car usually in a diaper and t-chirt and he wold drive to the store. While I had pants to wear, DAd never gave me any time or advanced notice. He expected obedience.
peter14	14	I am bedwetter and my parents also diaper me all time at home. In school i am without diapers. At home i often have to be only in diapers or in a onsie, but normally i am allowed to put a jean over and go out for playing an so. Also when we go shopping or so i wear my diaper. When i have to change my mom goes with me to the baby changing room or my dad changes me in the mens room. Thats little embarassing when the others in the locker room see how i get my diaper changed by dad or see when mom comes out with me from the baby room. But afterwards it is ok and i don't have to think when i have to pee anymore. Many of my friends know that i wear diapers in the afternoon so it is no problem for me to go our in diapers
Tom	23	I really had no limitations because of my diapers. They were my under pants and I did just about everything like guys who wear boxers or briefs.
