I choose to wear cloth diapers and plastic pants. More comfortable and far less leaks.

I wear them on long car rides.

Way better than nasty public restrooms.

Do not try Depends!

But them online. Tranquility are best.

Absolutely better than waiting in long lines and disgusting restrooms in public places. I wear them a lot, even to work more often than not. My sweetie thinks I should be in them 24/7. I have considered this, but not there yet.

When they get full, the feeling or need to change can be worse than waiting in those lines in the first place. Molicares hold a huge amount. I go all day in those with no problems.

And, yes, I do poop in my diapers, but not so often. I make the decision of to use the restroom or my diaper. Its a procrastination thing I guess, thinking it is easier to just go im my diaper now but then I have to clean up later. Then I get into that procrastination thing again, often staying in a full diaper too long.

i wear to concerts, sporting events, movies, etc.

Totally normal and people who think it's gross are probably people with stronger bladders.

I have to pee like every 30 to 45 minutes.

I watched the Inauguration at home, but if i was there, i'd be diapered also. I wear diapers for convenience, mostly. I wear them to work, movies, at any time, and they do feel like regular underwear, with added protection. i hope more people become less ashamed and just wear them. They are comfortable.

My wife and I usually always wear diapers when we go out. We have been doing this for over 10 years. You don’t have to use them if there are available restrooms. However, if the need arises it’s better to be prepared. As the earlier poster stated, try the premium brands, most store brands aren't absorbent enough. We use Abena pads that are worn inside close fitting underwear. They can be ordered over the internet. If you are going to try the store or Depend brands, add a diaper doubler or a Depend Boost to increase absorbency. If you find the right brand and style that works for you, they are very comfortable.

There isn't ANYTHING that important that would constitute me crapping or peeing on myself. That is a LACK of hygeine PERIOD.

If no bathrooms are around, diapers are a perfectly fine solution. My girlfriend wears them out to clubs all the time 'cause the ladies room line gets so backed up (not to mention the bathroom gets disgusting!). And I have to admit, they're pretty comfy.

The only thing wrong with diapers is the social stigma attached to them. Oh, and they're not cheap, either.

Why wear anything other than a diaper to the inauguration? This is what many people are doing because it is convienient and overall, fun. I mean, honestly... Who doesn't want to wear a diaper?

Wow, I CANNOT believe so many people wear adult diapers.
