Some people wear boxers instead of briefs, others wear thong or bikini style underwear. Diapers are just another type of underwear. People that wears diapers share similar commonalities with people that wear glasses, hearing aids and prosthetic limbs. Their bodies don’t work the way they are designed to, so they have to rely on external devices to account for their physical inefficiencies. Perhaps diapers have become such a taboo subject because they are commonly associated with shame or immaturity. Adults that wear diapers are often thought of as weird, crazy, weak, or mentally insufficient. While it is true that there is a small minority of adults who wear diapers as a sexual fetish (these people are known as ‘adult babies’ or ‘diaper lovers’), the majority of people that wear them, do so for medical reasons.
