Describe what usually happens to your brother's pants after a diaper change (assuming he will not be leaving the house right away). Who handles the pants, where and how are they stored, are they folded or checked for contents in the pockets, etc.

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
	13		12	locked in a trunk . i handle them .
Autumn	18+	David	13	David usually goes around in just a diaper anyway. When it's cold, he wears sweat pants. We have very few pants for him to wear when it's warm. If anything he wears a t-shirt. His t-shirts vary in size diaper, we'd rather just put a long t-shirt on him to make diaper changes easier.
				My parent's handle the pants. they are in a locked trunk with many locks on it. then it is placed into a room with a locked door.
Jenny	16	Brent	12	brent only wears diapers to bed so generally he doesn't need his pants back. if he gets diapred earlier than usual i'll sometimes just make him wear a T and his diaper.
				If we're in a public place, the pants are placed right back on. If we're at home and alone, then (if they were on before or not), I take the pants, fold them and then allow him to get up. Usually, I then give the pants to my parents who take them to their room and lock them up (just as would happen to me), but occasionally they will give me the key ahead of time (such as if I have to babysit for a few hours).

Describe how and where your brother's pants are usually stored and secured. Include the types of locks used, who carries or has access to keys/combinations, etc. Do you keep the keys on your person or get them from your parents? Do you have your brother watch you put the key into your pocket?

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
	13		12	they are in my room or my moms room( but i'm the only one with the combination)
Autumn	18+	David	13	He's got a few pants in his chest of drawers. We don't lock them up or anything.
				we have my brother put the pants in the trunk and watch us lock it. then he locks the door, and watches us put the keys away.
Jenny	16	Brent	12	in his bed room
				They're kept inside a suitcase in my parents' closet (with those tiny airplane locks). Unless our parents aren't around, I never actually use it and just give the pants to my parents.

Describe the times when your brother has attempted to retrieve his pants when he was not allowed to wear any. Was he successful? Did he remove any of his diapers to wear the pants? What were the consequences (punishment, further security measures taken, etc.)

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
	13		12	he had snuck into my room with my mom's stethascope ( my moms a nurse ) assuming it would unlock it by hearing the sounds. I walked in and saw him and told my mom. we had him put in my baby brothers locking crib and told him to suck on a pacifier and if he took it out we would tell all his freinds that we were going to baby him
				he got the pants once. he took off his diapers, and put the pants on. when we caught him we put him in tripple diapers and diaper pins. then we started to store them in a trunk,and a locked room.
Jenny	16	Brent	12	if we've had guests or friends over he gets embarassed when they see him in just his diaper.
mary	13	erik	15	th first time he tried he got caught by mom and he was forced to go to a friends house with no pants.
				He tried a time or two at the beginning to go get his pants so the diaper wouldn't show (apparently thinking we would forget). It didn't work. He got to spend the rest of his time (a week) with five diapers on instead of two, which made trips outside a lot more embarrassing, even though he can have pants outside the house.

How do you or would you react when your brother asks for his pants back?

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
	13		12	we yell at him
Autumn	18+	David	13	Sometimes he'll whine about his diapers showing, but we don't give in to him.
				we laugh and say no way. this is a PUNISMENT!!!!
Jenny	16	Brent	12	most of the time i'll give them back
				He can't ask because he knows he won't get them. Violation results in a spanking and five diapers.

How do you ensure that your brother will not wear some other family member's pants? Does your body size differ such that your pants would not fit him (with or without diapers on)? If so, how does it differ? Has your brother ever tried to wear your pants or the pants of another sibling? What were the consequences (punishment, increases in security, etc.) What else has your brother done to attempt covering up his diapers?

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
	13		12	my mom and i are girlz so he won't wear ours and our younger brothers are atleast 2 years younger or more so there to small
				we lock all the bedroom doors.
				He won't try because he knows that violations result in a spanking and five diapers instead of two.

How do you reinforce your brother's pantslessness? What kinds of diapers and how many diapers do you have him wear? What other kinds of reinforcement do you use to keep him from removing diapers in order to wear pants in the first place?

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
	13		12	we have him wear winnie the poo diapers and well put him on the restraint bed* our lock him outside * a bed with restraining straps
				he wears disposibles and cloth, 2 of each. he has tons of diaper pins and extra tape.
				Usually he wears two diapers around the house and pants when we leave. He knows not to remove them or face the mentioned consequences. If absolutely necessary we can put locking plastic pants on with the diapers.

Describe the pants that your brother does wear and when he wears them. Provide details on where they are bought or if they are handed down, the condition/brands, etc. Does it appear obvious that pants are not a high priority for your brother's selection of clothing?

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
	13		12	he usually wears jeans that we buy at bob's stores no its not obvious
Elaine	17	Tim	18+	most times he wears bib overalls as they fit the best over diapers and mom thinks they look more babyish. If he's not in bib overalls then he's in sweatpants or nylon windpants.
				he wears pants that were handed down from my great great gand father. they are thin and white.
				Normal pairs of Jeans when we leave the house like any normal kids (but diapers underneath).

How do you feel when you see your brother with pants on? Does it look unusual to you when you see him wearing pants? What are your thoughts regarding wishing and hoping he will have them off so he'll be in diapers only?

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
	13		12	it does'nt bother me. although i like it better with just diapers cause he looks cute
Autumn	18+	David	13	When I think of David, I think of him in just a diaper - I'm used to him being in just a diaper...so him wearing pants is unusual...even at Sunday School.
				it seems really unusual. i feel like oh well he has to take them off soon. i wish he had to only wear diapers it is more embarrising.
				No to all questions. Feels normal - more awkward in the diapers as it's a punishment.

If you had it your way, how would you like to see your brother and his pants/pantlessness situations to be handled? Do you like it the way it is? What do you wish could happen if it doesn't? Do you foresee yourself treating your sons this way (if you have any)? If so, please elaborate.

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
	13		12	i would always have him pantless but i wouldn't treat my children like this past the age of three
				he would always be pants less. no i would never treat my sons this way.
				I'm happy with it. I think it's very fair, and I might do the same to my kids since it's effective in the future.

At which ages was your brother pantsless the most? What were the reasons for his frequent pantslessness during these times?

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
	13		12	all ages because on weekends when mom is gone ( almost all weekends ) me and my younger brothers baby him he's been in diapers scince he was 8
				about 9 1/2-10 he was being disiplined
Jenny	16	Brent	12	anytime before he was 8 - thats when he would put up the most fuss.
				10-present at home when Diaper Punished
