For me, I suppose the question is: How did you re-find your favorite diaper?
As a baby, toddler, and bedwetting preschooler (until sometime shortly before I turned 4), I was put in Curity cloth diapers. That was in the late 70's, and the specific diapers were the Curity Day/Night prefolds. How do I know? Because my parents reused my diapers on my younger sister, and then kept them around, maybe for a third child they decided not to have--or failed to have. (I won't be asking!) Throughout my younger years and into my teens, my diaper needs were completely satisfied by wearing the very diapers I'd worn as a baby. It was too easy. As an adolescent DL, I was kinda spoiled!
Obviously, wetting them was out, as they'd have needed immediately laundering. Nonetheless, they did eventually get a little stiff and stinky, and in later years I learned that I could throw them into the laundry without setting off any alarms. By that time, my mom had begun using several of the diapers as cleaning rags, and so my own diapers (from the larger stash in the garage) blended right in. As soon as they came out of the laundry, I'd go to the rag bin and fetch them. And often rotate them back through the stash.
In my early teens, I finally got up the courage to walk to the store and buy Pampers with my allowance, and so began a decades-long love affair with disposables. It wasn't until shortly before I joined ADISC that I found myself wanting to revisit my roots. I found some old Curity Day/Night prefolds on eBay, bought them, and as soon as I opened that box it was like I had my childhood back. They just felt...right. Of course, using them required makeshifting, or else I had to use them as boosters in my larger adult-sized prefolds. (I accumulated quite a stash of adult prefolds as well!)
A year or so after that, while helping my dad with a project in the garage, it occurred to me to check for the old box of diapers. I hadn't seen it since I'd left for college. It was almost right where I'd last seen it, and still filled with my old diapers. As soon as I had a minute to myself, I pulled out four of them and tucked them into my coat. Yes, yes... I stole. So, perhaps quite uniquely, my own diaper stash presently includes four of the very diapers I wore as a baby.
Since then, I've become quite a hoarder of these Curity prefolds, and have well over a hundred of them, most from eBay. And last year, I hired an ABDL-friendly seamstress to make a bunch of them into adult diapers for me, so that I could wear them more easily and more often. That's been really awesome. (She's actually making me a second batch right now.)
So there you go! Still wearing my own old baby diapers.
Talk about weird, eh?
