Explain why reinforcements were used on your diapers

Name	Age	Answer
soggy diaper	10	do not know
ME disney baby	37	I used tape to extend the sides of disposable diapers as well as to make two disposables into one large/r diaper
Taa	16	extra red tape
Sammy	13	When I was six, I started taking off my diapers--I found them uncomfortable. My mom started using cloth at home to stop this, but at school and where I needed pants, she used duct tape on my disposables to stop me from taking them off. She still does this to makle sure their snug.
Jimbo	60	To prevent htem from shifting and ensure a tight fit to prevent leaks.
baby john	6	keep me from getting my hands and fingers in my diapers, hold my diapers up from sagging from pp and poopy diapers
Craig	--	so it don't fall off of me when it gets too heavy
soggy pants	10	so they would stay tight
		Because I like it and it's fun to know I can't take off my diapers easy. We have to use scizors to cut all the tape off. It's fun to be stuck in my diapers until my mommy or sister feels I need a change.
Tom	23	nothing extra
		Reinforcements? Most were psycological. Baby clothes as I called them were much better then waking up soaked from head to foot. I could usually hide that I was in wet diapers, but could never hide being soaked head to foot. Also we wore PJ's or a night shirt over the diapers. It was always a PROJECT just to unpin a wet t shirt and then find the pins on a soaked wet diaper, and unpin that. Also there was the the time restaints, rush to change, rush to wash, rush to get seated for breakfast (we all had to be seated before anyone got served) and then rush to the bus stop!

Jimbo	60	Pinned double pins each side.
