List and explain the concerns you had regarding your diapers and leaving the house. What was the basis or rationale behind each of these concerns?

Name	Age	Answer
nikolas	15	I was not afraid. i wore them so frequently and my mother would make me ware them where ever we went i did not relise that other people did not until i was older.
diaper man78	20	take a clean diaper with me make sure not to pee to much and make sure i was whereing baby powder.
Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)	14	Mainly if I was out in a pulic place, with my Parents, Grandparents, (but especially my Sisters,) because they enjoyed it if we had a wet, poopey diaper, they love to change our diapers and have other watch. Also I, was feared of other people seeing my Diapers changed, and seeing my erection. I, we, boys weren't allowed to ever change our diapers, but! our Parents, Grandparents, and SISTERS, especially would alway thrill at changing our diapers in a public place and have other people watch and see our diaper changes...
Unown	16	I was just afraid. Period.
Jimbo	--	I was mainly concerned on where I could get changed if I wet or messed.There aren't too many places where an adult can get changed!
		Diapers can really show through most pants, especially the diaper-butt.
Plasticpants12	26	My wearing diapers was between my mom, my aunt, my sister, and me. I wanted to wear diapers again when I was six years old, and my mom was cool with it. She figured if I wore diapers, and stayed home more, I wouldn't get into trouble later on. She was right. We also had a much more open relationship. I stayed home in my diapers and plastic panties until I got my own place when I was 20.
Whitney	11	i worry my diaper can be seen and if i have to pee.
Nicholas	13	Often i have been concerned about how i will have my diapers changed but usually my mom finds a place to change my diapers. I dont like if other people is calling attention to my diapers.
Timothy	7	I was manely afraid of having to change while I was out. I was afraid of having people stare at my pee- pee espeshily since when my sisters change me in public they take me to the girl's bathroom.
Bedwetter	14	No-one knew (and still doesn't know) about my diaper fetish- I used to bedwet up to the age of 11 so it stopped my doing that.
Bobby	11	At first I wore them as punishment and was grounded so I couldn't go outside anyway. Now I have to wear them because my pee won't stop. I can hardly go outside at all anymore.
Craig	8	I'm NOT afraid to leave the house with my diapers on. I'm NOT even afraid to leave the house without my pants om just a diaper on
Tom	23	some stranger seeing my diaper and making fun of me
75865463427377	14	I was afraid to leave my house when I was wearing a diaper under shorts, because my parents dont even know I wear diapers. I'm always afraid that I'll be wearing a diaper when I suddenly need to leave house, and won't have time to change. Even worse if I'm wet oressu at the time.
RG	--	i DIDN'T CARE WATASOEVER

List and explain the situations you dealt with regarding your diapers and leaving the house. Which of these were problems you feared or anticipated and which ones did you not consider before it happened?

Name	Age	Answer
diaper man78	20	other people seeing me in my diaper.
Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)	14	All are mentioned above.
Jimbo	--	I am always concerned about someone seeing my diapers and going to great lengths to make fun of me.Most Sales persons in stores are quite considerate in that respect but you always have 1 person that is not!
Plasticpants12	26	I only wore them at home. I remember practically not being able to wait until the school bell rang at the end of the day so I could go home and put my diaper on!
Nicholas	13	I have had poop leaking out of my diapers and visible to everyone. I have been smelling very badly and other people have noticed it.
Timothy	7	My diapers leaked of poop pretty bad. I didn't think it'd happen because I wear alot of diapers at once plus plastic pants but I gues my diapers came lose or something and poop leaked out of the leg band of my plastic pants because I was pooping alot. Noone would come near us because I smelled so bad.
Bedwetter	14	I didn't wear diapers/nappies whenever i did an activity that might result in someone finding out.
Tom	23	most afraid of strangers since all of my friends and family knew about my diapers
75865463427377	14	My biggest fear happened when I was wearing diapers alone at my house, when my mom burst through the door saying that we had to go to the mall before the early holiday closing. I tried to tell her I needed to use the bathroom(so I could change), but she said I could go at the mall. During the drive there I wet myself accidently so I started to smell, but mum didnt notice with the windows open. At the mall I tried to change in the bathroom, but it was full of people and the stalls were being used. I ran off to the family bathroom where I finally changed out of my wet, poopy(I had gone accidently, without noticing) diaper. As I left the bathroom a cleaning lady came in and to the trash bag with only my used diaper in it; she also made a weird face when see saw me after graving the trash bags.
