Sorry to be a wordsmith about it, but I am just curious if, in your regular everyday conversations in-person or virtually (at least, when the topic comes up...), you refer to your diapers as just "diapers," or specifically "adult diapers," including the modifier? Or maybe for some people it's totally interchangeable?
I've worn diapers for 3 years, and as you can clearly tell by reading this, I typically only use the one word ("diaper"), even within my own head. I definitely started out referring to them as adult diapers, and all the medical professionals I've spoken to about my UIC issues try to stay away from the "d-word" if at all possible (but when they do say it, I've always heard them say the full "adult diapers." But over the years I just dropped the "adult" because (for one) it's obvious I am an adult, (two) a diaper is just a product used by anyone (babies, kids, adults) who cannot control their bladders/bowels, and (three) it's just less words to say/type and I'm lazy LOL.
So how do you all say it? And any particular or specific reasons why?
