Everyone’s favorite word for diaper?

[CookieMonstah]

I've never really cared associating them with women's sanitary napkins (from which nappy is derived). And since I wear disposables I just call them what the inventor called them Diapers.

Like I’ve said before and I don’t know why you keep arguing this case. Nappy didn’t just mean a woman’s sanitary napkin it also meant a baby napkin. In the U.K. they’re called nappies because that’s what they’ve always been called for hundreds of years. The word has been around longer than the Americans have lived in the USA.

Has to be “nappy”/“nappies”, because that’s what I grew up with... can live with “diaper” but don’t find it has the same resonance. I also like “Pampers” as a generic term, particularly when applied to an adult nappy. Absolutely hate “dips”, “diapees” and any babyish nicknames.

I rather like the association with women’s sanitary products (even if “napkin” is rarely used these days for anything other than a table napkin), as it reinforces the idea that women should wear nappies

As another Brit, they're nappies to me, but often I'll use diaper online. Nappy is an incredibly "cute" word for me to hear.

This is a silly little thread but I was curious what your favorite word for diaper is? My favorite definitely has to be nappy! I’m not British but the word nappy is just so stinkin’ cute in my opinion~!

At home we call them "My protection". Any other place I call them diapers, because I like the babyish term.

 

[Monkeypuzzler]

Strictly nappy / nappies.

 

[WABX]

Diapers or padding protection or do you have your depends on as a general word for a diaper.

Being from Germany I always liked the word "Windel" which ist the translation of diaper.

There's a somewhat-unethical realty company (in my opinion) in this region, called Windermere. I love calling them "Windelsmear", LOL!

When I was really young, I used to call them something along the lines of “Didees”. I still do on occasion when I’m deeply regressed.

I really like calling them dippies! Saying diaper on its own is honestly pretty embarrassing, it's a very unmistakable word, but dippy is cuter and softens it a lot

 

[bambinod]

"pampers" for me I think

 

[ChocChip]

Underwear...

Well yeah, they’re the only kind of underwear anyone should need!

 

[Hunter185]

When I was growing up it was "nappies" and "baby pants". I guess those terms stayed with me.

 

[BobbiSueEllen]

"Spongepants. Squarebob Spongepants."

 

[Diaperdudeinmass]

Mine is either diaper or diapee

 

[Lyokodl]

Either Diaper or Pañales, but nappy is nice too.

 

[SashaNicole]

I am in the U.K. so I wear a nappy

 

[activefit]

Here in Greece we call them "panes"or "babylino "
Babylino is the first brand name diapers since 78 in Greece.
I prefer the "babylino "word

For me, despite being in the UK, I call mine diapers rather than nappies. Or if I'm referring to them in a conversation with my partner (e.g. if I'm expecting a delivery or putting them in the bin bag on refuse collection day) I'll talk about my "supplies". This is what I did from a few years back when I was ashamed of my need and couldn't bring myself to use the word nappy. the names stuck despite me becoming more comfortable and reaching a point where I would describe myself as DL.
