As most of you know, I am a substiute teacher/substitute paraprofessional, and its a job that i like. Today was a day I worked as an aide at a special education center. The kids go swimming 3 days a week, and since I had my swimsuit(like I always do) I volunteered to go swimming. Not a big deal, because I had my swimsuit over my pocket diaper.. the only potentially awkward part is when I have to put a dry diaper on. Usually I can do this in a stall with a closed door, where i can still keep an eye on the kids. This time, however, a st udetn was using that partiucular bathroom...so I had no choice but to put my dry pocket diaper on in the locker room. I hoped that none of them would say anything, and not notice what i was doing, since the pocekt diaper looks more like ordinary underwear than it does a diaper, but nope.. one of the kids asked Why are you wearing a diaper? I froze, and was dumfounded, nto sure what to say next. He kept asking, and at first i said it wasnt a diaper.. but then i just said, "It's not your business." He said, Oh, and just went on getting dressed. Note to self, next time swimming if said bathroom is occupied, steal a second to chagne in one of hte otehher stalls. I wasnt the only adult in there, so I could have gotten away with that. Anyone have an akward out of the mouths of babes moment like that? Peace out! Rob |

I've had something like this happen to me once too. I was at a pool with very few people there at that time. When I was done and getting dressed there was nobody else in the locker room so I toweled off started to tape on a new disposable right at the locker. Right then a 10-11 year old walks in, sees me half diapered, and just freezes. After a couple of seconds he also asked why I was wearing a diaper. I just told him it was because I got into a bad car accident and am now incontinent so I need a diaper. He was like oh, ok, and we both just went on our own business like it was no big deal. Like you found, run-ins like this don't have to be embarrassing. Usually if you're not then the other person won't be too embarrassed (or nosey) either. |

I'm kind of worried about my own kid(s) finding out. I only wear at night and my son is only16 months old (planning to try to have another soon) but I know it won't be long before he's getting out of bed to try to come in and sleep with us. Now, I just sleep in my diaper and compression style boxer briefs over it. I can't stand sleeping with a shirt on. It'll be hard to figure out how to answer "daddy why you wearing a diaper?". I have very little if any hope of ever being dry at night. |

MikeJames, The best answer is the honest one that is also strait forward. Yes keep it to your self because incontinence and diapers is a private matter in most situations. But when he does come asking (not if) just tell the truth. Play it off as a serious matter (which it is), and try not to make it into a big deal (and it won't be). Really. |

MJ, he probably won't say anything. My son is 3, and I never hid my night diaper, and he never asked. |

Mike, I too dread having to address this with my sons. I don't think they've noticed because we try to be discreet but I don't know. Either way, a healthy dad is preferable so you just gotta carry on! |
