Sorry to hear of this suffering. You didn't do anything wrong for being yourself. I didn't let this embarrassment happen by clarifying to others who confronted me about my right to live as I see fit. I also listened to my first wife's sex fantasies and behaviors that were not something that I...

When I was five, my sister was wetting the bed and was put in diapers. I asked if I could wear them too, making my mom smile. Then she said, "No," as she didn't want me to get used to it. Some of my friends at that time were wearing diapers, and in kindergarten, some of the kids were diapered...

I was in my late teens when visiting my mother at her house. She worked during the day and I would do my laundry then. One day my grandmother came by while the laundry was drying, and just being nosy, she looked in the dryer to see what was in there. My cloth diapers were drying. My grandmother...

Over my fifty plus years of diaper-wearing, I have tried many cloth diapers. Curity gauze cloth diapers 24" x 40" flat were the best. For me, the best available today is Purity gauze cloth diapers from adultclothdiaper.com. The best diaper covers are PUL pants by Gary Wear. I wear diapers 24/7...

If this is a genuine situation, the first thing to fix would be the parents. Parents' unconditional love should motivate them to wash all the blankets and clothes that have been urinated on without complaining or becoming angry. Opening the windows and humiliation does not fix any problem. She...

As a DL with children, I wore diapers around the house as the kids grew up. They thought it was normal. I didn't do anything sexual, messy, or otherwise. I wore cloth diapers just because I liked wearing diapers since age ten. Eventually, my kids learned in school that it was not normal for...

That may be the case with big companies, but the ingredients in the eco companies come from natural sources. Today, I looked at the products now on the shelf at Walmart, and although the big-name products are still present, there are several all-natural products there, too. The big-name brands...

Most of my diapers are flat cotton gauze diapers from adultclothdiaper.com. I grew up in Whitingham, Vermont, which was just over the border from the old Curity cloth diaper factory. I got to see how they made their diapers so soft. It wasn't just the cotton gauze, they treated all their cotton...

For the past twenty years or so, I have taken a shower in the morning and pre-rinsed my diapers then. Oddly enough, the reason I started this was to treat carpal tunnel syndrome in my forearms. After about a month, and feeling like my hands were ready to fall off, the strength returned to my...

The glass door dryers are still out there. I might have bought one if we had this conversation a week ago. Until you brought it to my attention, I didn't realize how much I enjoyed watching the diapers tumbling in the machine.

When I used to wash my diapers at the laundromat I did. Our dryers have solid doors. Back in my thirties I lived in a Chevy van for a couple years. I wore diapers then because I didn't want to have to get out of the van at odd hours of the night and be seen peeing wherever I had to go (and...

Yes, tumble drying is key to maintaining soft diapers. I tried drying them on a clothesline and it was like wearing a cardboard box. Absorbent, but not very comfortable. ;) We just bought a new dryer that arrived yesterday.

We are told many things in life. I have been using fabric softeners on diapers for more than forty years. Rest assured, they still absorb wetness. The keyword is "reduction." The absorbency may be reduced, but if you increase the quantity of cotton (add more thickness) you can find a point...

I did some more research based on the ingredients of Ecover available in the USA. The same ingredients in Ecover are found in another product called Seventh Generation fabric softener. You can buy it online from Walmart at a fraction of the cost of Ecover. I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks for taking the time to share your insights. My wife will now purchase Ecover for my diapers and we will try your advice. You inspired me to ask AI for its suggestion for making diapers softer. Of course, you can't mention the word "diaper" with AI and get anywhere, so I framed the...
