I still don’t understand how that works. Alright, I get it that for most of you guys it works like this summary: you come across the object of your desire - plastic pants, fansposies or whatever - and then *KAZAM* like a bolt from the blue, you’re struck with an unstoppable desire to become...

That’s probably part of it. I don’t know how the association “textured plastic pants” <=> “everything’s fine” started. As far as I knew it was always there, though I know from my parents that for some time around my 3rd year things were a bit difficult because they didn’t know what the problem...

Part of that is that smooth-surfaced plastic tends to stick to the skin much more. I think that’s the reason for having textured plastic in the first place. Another original reason may be that textured plastic looks somewhat like regular fabric (silk or satin) while smooth plastic looks more...

That’s indeed godawful. I found that almost prohibitive when ordering anything from North-America. I’ve occasionally been lucky when someone I know went over there on a business trip and offered to bring some things as personal luggage. But the worst experience of all was when one of my uncles...

Re. having the plastic directly next to the skin: The plastic panties I wore as a child and teenager in daytime were snap-on pants that had the plastic doubled into a kind of pouch in the front and back with only the business part in the middle left open. I the idea was that a cloth or...

Indeed, I was also quite surprised to find a supplier who sold something other than the usual glossy food wrap. The plastic indeed feels nice to the touch and makes that tell-take sweet swishing sound when brushing past it. Like you say, the pattern is so small that it’s hard to see, but you...

This reminded me of something I had nearly forgotten. In the neighbourhood where I grew up there was a shopping mall just across the street. In the mall there was a lunchroom called “Broodje Hermoza” - Sandwich Hermoza (probably a concoction of the owner’s names) that had a really really weird...

I’ve know the SGA brand of plastic pants (as in the image below) all my life. They are even still for sale, but the quality is dreadful. I got a pair some years ago, it felt like flimsy laminated cardboard. It made me wonder if they switched from producing protective garments to punishing ones 😨...

Don’t you have the problem of disposables leaking wherever they first become wet, while other parts remain unused? I wonder if this is different for men, dependent on how you, let’s say, arrange the furniture when putting a diaper on? For girls the point of failure with disposables is always...

DOK … that’s food for thought. I’ve never found a good way to describe how I feel about the whole business. ABDL doesn’t apply to me either, though lacking a better word I occasionally try to round-peg-in-a-square-hole it as in “slight ABDL feelings”. But it misses the point in the same way...

I’ve also found that disposables never use the whole diaper. They start leaking as soon as the middle part is saturated while front and back are still dry. It’s one of the reasons I dislike disposables. When I have to use them while travelling I wake up more often because I’m worried about...

Hi Ellyn, What a wonderful introduction! 👍🏻 I’m surprised how similar your history of UIC is to my own, including failed attempts to fix the issue and fiddling with catheters (resulted only in a string of UTIs) and settling on cloth diapers. It does me a world of good to read such a positive...

Thanks all for replying ☺️ I guess so, yes. It’s just frustrating the hell out of me to be robbed of a perfectly good and affordable commodity that I depend on and have that replaced with expensive garbage, and to add insult to injury, being told that garbage is better. There’s two sides to...

Forgive me is this has already been asked, but does anyone know why manufacturers stopped using diamond / taffeta embossed plastic for plastic pants? Or even have any idea what a possible reason could be? It has never made any more sense to me than, say, if all car wheels would be made square...

I think so, yes. Of course the babies (and teens, adults, etc) who wore them didn’t mind, but ads like this latched onto the ecological “plastic = evil” idea that was just taking off then. Of course it makes sense to stop polluting the environment with plastic waste. Plastic pants produce...
