How Not to Get Caught
By Jenny
Advice from a
parent on how not to get caught wearing diapers
Several people saw my previous posting (“A Mother’s
Opinion”) and have asked me to write more. What follows was written with the
help of my son Josh (who’s now 14 by the way.) Over the past couple of years
he’s become quite the expert -with my help- at wearing diapers without being
noticed. I’m sure many boys who visit this site are also quite good at hiding
their diapers, but I thought I’d pass on our “top 10 tips” anyway.
- Choice of diaper. This is very
important and takes some practice. Cloth diapers and plastic pants work
well, but are bulky and difficult to hide. “Goodnites”
are more discreet but tend to leak, especially if they get used more than
once. Small adult diapers work well, but Josh now uses some all-in-one
cloth diapers and plastic pants (a bit like training pants) called Gabby’s. They are available on line and are both
discrete and very absorbent. They also don’t tend to leak, especially if
worn with an extra pair of plastic pants.
- Choice of pants. It’s important to
hide or disguise “bulges” but also to blend in. Jeans don’t work all that
well, and tend to show up any leaks. Josh has several pairs of black nylon
track pants. These are ideal for several reasons – they fit loosely so
don’t tend to bulge, they make a slight rustling noise which hides any
sounds from the diaper, and they don’t show any slight leaks. They are
also easy to put on and take off for changing. The “pants on the ground”
look is probably out, unless you really like showing off.
- Choice of other clothes. Long
shirts or sweaters are a good idea to cover any “diaper line” or bulges,
especially when you bend over.
- Needing to pee. Try to avoid any
outward signs of needing to pee before you wet. Kids who need the washroom
are quite obvious to parents, who are used to noticing the signs. Needless
to say if you appear to need the bathroom, then you don’t, someone might
figure out why.
- Doing it. Sometimes it’s hard to
be subtle. For a long time Josh actually “grabbed”
himself when he started wetting his diaper. He also tended to stand
with his legs slightly apart and a “dreamy” look on his face, none of
which he knew he was doing until I pointed it out. The best advice is to
“practice” by watching yourself in the mirror as you wet a few times. Are
you standing normally? What is the expression on your face? Are you
breathing normally? Does your expression or “body language” change while
you’re wetting or when you finish? All these things can be noticeable to
someone who knows what to look for.
- Letting go. Generally it’s more
subtle to pee a little at a time. This also gives the diaper more time to
absorb each time you wet. But if you’ve left it too long and have to let
go all at once, the best advice is to do it standing up. Diapers will
generally absorb a lot quicker and are much less likely to leak if they
are not being “squeezed” – for example by sitting – as you wet.
- Telling someone. If you regularly
need to tell someone if you’re wet (for example a parent or sibling)
invent a “code”. For example, Josh and my code for being wet is being “happy”. So if I ask him if he’s happy, he
might say “I’m Okay” (meaning he’s dry), or “I’m really happy” (meaning he
needs a diaper change) or something in between. It’s the kind of question
a mom might ask, so nobody suspects anything.
- Number 2. Okay, so there’s
probably no subtle way to poop your diaper. The best advice here is to do
it when you know you can get somewhere to change fairly quickly, before
people start to notice.
- Staying wet. The longer you stay
wet, the more likely someone is to notice. If you enjoy staying wet, one
trick is to use some odorless talc to powder when you change – it will
help remove any odor, without giving the unmistakable whiff of baby
powder.
- Changing. Finding the right place
to change when you’re out can also be problematic. One tip is to head for
the “disabled” washroom – they are usually self-contained and therefore a
lot more private.
Well, there it is. Maybe someone will find this helpful.
