WBxx said:As a child night diapered past the normal age, I don’t recall mom positioning me down before pinning the cloth in place. To the contrary, I’m convinced I was always up. Similarly, back in the day I don’t remember hearing about or seeing anyone pointing their little boy down during diapering (cloth). Conclusion, pointing down came into practice with the arrival of disposable diapers.
Don't forget, little kids are going to be much shorter, and less likely to get erections. Even if/when they do, they will just "tent" the diaper with their "poles". Being adults, our penises are much longer, so that doesn't happen.
Cloth or disposable at a younger age wouldn't make a difference.
