Adult diapers are like standard diapers only they are designed to be worn by older people. They can be purchased from a number of stores and are typically made for people that have issues with going to the toilet uncontrollably. The most common age demographic are those over the age of 60 that have lost the ability to contain their need to rid their bodies of waste. In the same way that children’s diapers function, adult versions are typically disposed of after one usage. Some people find erotic satisfaction from wearing them or seeing someone else wearing them. Adult diaper fetishization can incorporate a few different similarly themed niches through its practice as well.
One of the standard practices of wearers of adult diapers is to enjoy age play. Put simply, age play is when someone has a fetishization of being treated as a child. If someone wears an adult diaper, they may also wish to be looked after by a ‘mommy’. The adult diaper helps fulfill the feeling of being young and hopeless: using it is also a common aspect of the fetishization, as it demonstrates a need to be dependent on someone else to look after you. Diapers will typically then be removed by the mommy and either replaced with a new one or left off completely.
Some people who have fetishes for adult diapers may also enjoy the idea of needing to go to the toilet. This might be entirely separate from the adult baby fetish and simply forms as a form of helplessness in controlling their ability to go to the toilet on demand. Some people who enjoy adult diaper fetishes may put one on, go out in public and go to the toilet while surrounded by a number of people. Common destinations are usually crowded and places where the person is likely to be seen. These people are often practice their fetish without making it obvious to those around them what has happened: they simply like the idea of going to the toilet in public.
Some fetishists that are not in the United States may refer to it as being an adult nappy fetish, as the word ‘diaper’ is almost exclusively used in North America. As expected, the niche does not deviate in any other form apart from the name.
