At first, I thought this would be "easy to answer: no I don't hide". But as I thought about it, sometimes my actions are different than my words. For the most part, I don't hide things. I can walk around the house (and even outside in the backyard) with nothing covering my diaper. My wife has no problems with that either. Nor am I "so paranoid" that someone might find out; if they do, then oh well.

Yet, every once in a while I get "that feeling" of shame. Shame that I am dependent on someone or (in this case) something and not able to handle it all myself. And while we are always dependent on both people and "things", there is something extra sensitive about being dependent on a diaper. Strange things is that as quickly as the shameful feeling may come, it can go.

Diapers are my underwear; that's all. I am not embarrassed, and can move on with life. (of course it took a few years to get to that point!).

Papa: I guess I am like you ... "I seem to go back and forth" ...

ILuvLa, right on! My wife is not comfortable with me wearing only a diaper around the house, but does not seem to mind so much when I have plastic pants or a pair of compression shorts over it. If I am alone, I wear diaper, plastic pants, and a T-shirt, period. That is how I feel most comfortable. For one thing, it gets a bit warm "down there" from all the layers and I do not want the additional warmth from trousers. Once I begin my daily activities I am unaware of the diaper until I am near the point where I need to change.

Re going into the backyard, you are bolder than I am. If my neighbors had no view of my backyard it would be different, but they do.

I'm only wet at night. I usually wear a pair of boxer briefs, and fleece pajama pants over my diaper, but it serves a purpose. Mild leaks are absorbed by the boxers, and don't wick through the fleece. I don't otherwise go out of my way to hide the diapers when I'm at home.

I don't go out of my way to hide my diapers at home. Although, even before wearing diapers I rarely would lounge around the house in just underware. I will wear just my diaper and briefs in the morning when getting ready in the morning before my shower and at night getting ready for bed. Other than that when hanging around the house I usually am wearing something.
