diapers for convenience

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.

diapers are like underwear

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.

Many people wear diapers for convenience

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.

That is amazing

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.

Adult Diapers are definitely the underwear of the future.

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.

I wear adult diapers for convenience

weather at the movies, or at a concert or sporting event. Or on long car trips / long flights. Its just a matter of convenience. they are kinda comfy too actually.

If you really plan to wear adult diapers, DO NOT wear Depends. They leak after one large wetting. If anything, learn how to double diaper yourself and kids, and always bring more changes than you think you will need!

I'll be diapered!

I agree that an adult diaper is the way to go for events like this. I'll be wearing mine.

May I suggest to those new to adult diapers - go for a good brand - Abena, Molicare, Bambino, Attends. This way you won't leak.
