Tips For Wearing in Public

Recommended Brands

(In order from easiest to conceal to least)

• Goodnites or any other pull-up brand.
• Walgreens (cloth covered)
• Attends/Depends

Analysis of Recommended Brands

1. Goodnites or other pull-up brands are extremely thin and virtually disappear beneath any kind of pants. I've spoken with girls from the community who have worn hip hugging, low rise, jeans out with goodnites on. The only draw back is the fact that they hold very little in terms of wettings, you can get in a wetting but don't count on a second.
2. Walgreens new cloth covered adult diaper is one of the finest diapers for the public-wearing AB/TB/DL, in my opinion. The first thing to note is their cost; about $8.00 +tax for 20 diapers. Also, with a cloth cover, there's absolutely no crinkle whatsoever. They're slightly thicker than goodnites, but not by much, so they vanish beneath any type of pants just so long as your ass-crack isn't showing and they're not skin tight. As for wettings, from my personal experience I can get 3 wettings in a Walgreens brand, and it'll even hold a 4th just so long that you don't sit down. I highly suggest Walgreens brand.
3. Attends and Depends are for the more daring AB/TB/DL. I've personally worn these out several times, and there's a series of special precautions you'll have to take in order to safely wear these out in public (see next section). Basically, they're thin enough to wear out in public under slightly baggy clothing, and the the crinkle can be diminished to a whisper if you put a pair of tight underwear on over them (a tight pair of boxers does wonders). They hold roughly 2 wettings, 3 if you don't sit down. I suggest these if you really want a "rush" with minimal risk and the babyish feeling of a plastic diaper.
4. It is not recommended to wear very large diapers out in public, such as Bambino. These tend to be very noisy, as well as bulky. For some, they provide a rush of excitement, but for others, they can prove to be more troublesome than entertaining.

Special Clothing Precautions

• This is a no-brainer, but I'll list it anyway. Make sure you put your diaper on very snug. As another member said in a post, make it tight enough that it leaves those unattractive red marks on your legs. This, as your can guess, prevents leaks which would be disastrous in public.
• After putting the diaper on, put on a pair of underwear over it. The more coverage of the underwear, the more the crinkle sound will be suppressed. I find that a pair of tight boxers does wonders in concealing any crinkle noise. This, of course, means that you ladies should avoid the thong underwear for "crinkle concealment".
• Another purpose of underwear is to act as a "decoy" just in case you're bending over (or something of the sort) and your shirt rides up revealing whats beneath your pants. Once the underwear are up over the diaper, make sure the top of the diaper is tucked down beneath the waistband of the underwear. Personally, I take it a step further and use a bit of masking tape to keep the diaper-top folded down in. This way, if your underwear is spotted it'll be your real underwear, not your special underwear. If you have a slightly bigger pair of underwear than you normally wear, that would work well too.
• The baggier the pants, the more I suggest wearing them. Really big cargo pants are a huge asset for this kind of public adventure. Of course, you can always adjust the tightness of the pants in accordance to how daring you're feeling. However, keep in mind that pants too tight will also restrict the absorbency ability of the diaper beneath them; this could cause your diaper to leak easier.
• Wear a belt. I don't care if you don't like belts, or you never wear them, make an exception when you're wearing a diaper. Also, pull the belt one or two notches tighter than you normally would. In doing so, make sure your underwear is beneath where the belt is applying pressure to. This further prevents your underwear, or your diaper, riding up.
• Wear a long shirt. This, once again, is a common advice tip with obvious purpose. It's just another anti-detection precaution. Just do it.

Common Sense Tips

• Don't go #2 in your diapers while in public. It's a dumb move regardless of how you look at it. If you do this, I will personally hunt you down and end your existence with a rusty spatula.
• Whatever diaper you plan wearing out, know the holding ability of it for you. I've provided my wetting capacity numbers on the diaper analysis above, but the amount that you urinate may be more or less. Test a few diapers out before you go out so you know the amount it can hold before a leak.
• Always wet one less time than your diaper can hold. If you know your diaper can hold three wettings, only go twice in it. Better safe than sorry.
• Guys, I know you've heard this before, but make sure you're pointed in the right direction. Some of us more "well endowed" men can get pointed in all kinds of directions as we walk around. This is another reason to make the diaper extra snug, it keeps everything in place.
• Don't flood your diaper. It's a stupid thing to do, and you'd be stupid to do it.
• Don't draw attention to yourself. In other words, it's not too smart to wear a diaper to work on a day where you have to stand up and give a speech to the board of directors.
• Don't wear to an event where all the people close to you (friends, family, coworkers, schoolmates, etc...) are there. In other words, don't wear to places like family reunions, work, school, and so on.
• Wear out to public places populated primarily with people that you don't know. Good places include the mall, Wal-mart, amusement parks, and general places like that.

Diaper Crinkle

Several things affect the diaper crinkle. This information is applicable to both pull-up and normal diapers. However, pull-ups have no adjustment and either are acceptable or not. The construction, tightness, and fit all play important roles. These factors change how much plastic moves around and crinkles. Any decrease in plastic movement will decrease the audible sound. Having a good diaper adjusted correctly will be more comfortable, less likely to leak, and be quieter.

Construction

The construction of the diaper plays a modest role. Six tapes help to adjust the diaper to conform better. An elastic waistband holds the top portion in place. Quality tapes allow for good tension and keep the fit correct. The thickness of the plastic and/or cloth cover also changes the loudness. However, the other factors are more critical.

Tightness

The tighter the diaper, the less the plastic can move. With that said, there is a point of diminishing returns. Once most of the plastic is under tension, the sound will be about as low as possible. Going beyond this point will marginally decrease the sound, but will quickly reduce comfort. The extreme will cause either the tapes to fail or the body to bruise. The tension needs to be in all directions. My method to check this is to look at the front panel. If it looks tight like a full sail, good to go. If it has waves like a flag in a gentle breeze, noise will be a problem. The side flaps past the tapes should be tucked into the diaper for more discretion.

Fit

The fit is important because it should hug the body naturally. The critical areas for fit is the leg opening and the waist height. If the leg opening is too short, excess plastic will ride below the hip joint and flex while walking. At the waist, the upper tapes should ride just above the hip bones. Below this point, the diaper will fall below the hip bone. This allows too much flex on the front portion. Too tall will also ride down to the hips and create extra noise. You may have to try another size or brand to get a good fit.
