I have a few memories of my diaper days. 2 in particular, would have been when I was still needing them at night. It was back in the cloth diaper days. On one occasion, I remember laying in my crib, I was probably 3 or nearing that age, and my mom was getting me ready. I can remember her starting down at me, with the diaper pins held in her mouth. I became upset suddenly, because I thought she had stuck herself in the lip with one. I thought this, because she had chapped lips, and she said ouch! I asked her, did you stick yourself in the lips? But she said no, and it was ok, she only had chapped lips was all. It confused me because, I really didn’t understand what chapped lips mean, so I still thought she did actually stick herself. But, the pins were placed into my thick night time diapers, and she pulled up the plastic pants, and the side of the crib was pulled up for the night.
My other memory, was probably about the same time. I can remember running through the house, with a pair of plastic pants on my head, and I was yelling, RUBBER PANTS, RUBBER PANTS! Mom sometimes called them rubber pants, even though they were plastic. It was the early 60’s, and most people used plastic pants by then, but there were still plenty of moms who knew rubber pants, so it was like a generic term. Anyway, I believe I was put up to putting the plastic panties on my head, by my older sister, who thought it would be funny. That may have been one of the contributing factors, for my attraction to plastic pants, and diapers.
