Everyone’s favorite word for diaper?

[Killerpanda3]

I like hearing British people call them nappies lol but I prefer just calling them diapees

Diapers, pull-ups. Sometimes "dips" when I'm shortening or don't want to say diaper. And I like the term "slip dips" for pull-ups.

I like slip-dips lol. I might start using that!

I’m British, I call them everything, it also depends on the context. If I’m talking about it online I will probably refer to them as diapers, talking to someone else in the uk i’ll probably call them nappies.

Wow, "my everything" - that must be true diaper love. I'm getting a little jealous.

Most of the time I just call them diapers, and occasionally call them padding.

Oh! That's another one. I sometimes call them padding, pads, etc. And I tend to say I'm padded or going to get padded when wearing them or putting one on.

A rose by any other name......it's still a diaper!

 

[KCA]

Nappy, it's the only word

Aaah, but what if you were comparing a rose and a dandelion? A flower is a flower by any other name, unless of course you call it a weed. And IF it's not a plastic disposable, then wouldn't if be a nappy (disposable cloth)?

They truly are two DIFFERENT things. No sense in calling them the same.

I just call them what they are since most of my friends and family know that I wear diapers but it doesn't matter what you want to call them whatever you prefer is fine but I just always say diapers

 

[RedPandaDL]

[jasonm03]

My wife calls them my protection ( she asks if I brought enough protection)

 

[DannyBBaby]

ho I like rounded bottoms, but padded bottom is nice so I would use padded bottom

Being from Germany I always liked the word "Windel" which ist the translation of diaper. It gave me shivers since ....ever. But having lived in the States for a long time, the word 'diaper' does the same thing for me. Especially the emhpasis with the strong part on the first syllable. ....goose bumps.

 

[ARBBB2]

No matter what word is used, they are really special, and are so good for all, all, babies cause babies are very special!

 

[binkyb]

No, they are not truly different things. A diaper, or nappy, or whatever other term is used by people, is a reusable or disposable garment worn to absorb urine and contain poo. Diaper is not a term used exclusively for disposable items. It is term used predominantly by English speaking people in north America to refer to that garment and it was used before disposables were invented as demonstrated by this ad from 1925:

If the disposable (as we know it today) had been invented in Australia, I bet people in the US and Canada would still call them diapers and no one would sit here and argue that can only be called nappies because that is what the inventor called them owing to geographic accident. Do you refer to your car as a Motorwagen?
