What kids don't realize is that the fashion came originally from gangs who were imitating the fact that in prison, the pants are usually too large for inmates. So the whole HIPHOP culture is about reflecting violence in some way. Even the idiot white kids who grow up middle to upper class think they're making a statement about 'makin it on the street'. They have no idea what jokes they really are.

Additional Information Regarding Pin-On Diapers for Older Bedwetters

This article discusses additional information about cloth diapers for bed-wetting,specifically pin-on cloth diapers. As mentioned previously many people consider pin-on diapers to be the best type of reusable diaper to use for bed-wetting because most of them provide the best absorbency for nighttime incontinence. In general they seem to be more absorbent than alternatives such as pull-on cloth diapers. Also the pin type closures are supposed to have certain advantages over other types of diaper closures. For example I've read that alternative diaper fasteners such as Velcro can wear out and the snaps on snap-on diapers can break. Some people find that snap-on diapers and Velcro diapers are more convenient to use for daytime use when multiple changes might be required although some people use pin-on diapers during the day also.

In terms of both folding and pinning on the diapers there is a certain technique which is designed to offer maximum protection against leaks in addition to providing the most comfort. This technique is described in an article called “The New Diaper Primer” and is on the incontinentsupport.org website. “The New Diaper Primer” is divided into several sections or chapters. The chapter that discusses how to pin on cloth diapers is chapter 9 and is called “Pinning On Diapers.” The other chapters that are very informative in the diaper primer are chapter 1B "Cloth Diapers",chapter 4 “How Much Diapering Do I Need?”, and chapter 7 “Diaper Types”.

If you decide to purchase pin-on diapers for your bed-wetting youngster you should let the youngster fasten their own diapers. I have read and heard about situations where people have diapered older children with bed-wetting problems and this can cause severe psychological damage. I discuss this further in my article "Older Children,Bed-Wetting,and Self Diapering." If the parents are concerned that their child/children might not fasten the diapers correctly they can have the youngsters read the "pinning on diapers" section of "the new diaper primer." It's very important for a child's self-esteem and emotional health to be independent in this area.

One of the key points mentioned in “The New Diaper Primer” is wearing multiple diaper layers. This coupled with the pinning technique mentioned in the “Pinning On Diapers” section is supposed to provide the best protection for problems such as bed-wetting. Finally,according to the author of “The New Diaper Primer” most pull-on diapers do not offer adequate protection for bed-wetting. This is something that parents need to keep in mind if they decide to purchase reusable products to manage their youngster's bed-wetting. Adults with bed-wetting problems should also keep this point in mind. The main reason for the introduction of products such as pull-on diapers is the stigma associated with wearing diapers. Furthermore the label “pull-on diapers” is a misnomer as many products labeled “pull-on diapers” are not really diapers at all but extra thick underwear.

There are several different types of fabrics that cloth diapers can be made of. These fabrics are birdseye, terry cloth,flannel,and gauze. The author of the Diaper Primer thinks highly of gauze diapers. Both Adultclothdiaper.com and Angel Fluff sell gauze diapers. According to the Adultclothdiaper.com website one of the advantages of gauze diapers is that they allow air to circulate real well which helps to reduce the likelihood of diaper rash. Additionally,they're real absorbent and are very comfortable to wear in hot weather

It's very important to realize that there are two different websites with very similar addresses. The one mentioned in the second paragraph of this article is for a website called Incontinent Support and has “The New Diaper Primer.” There is another website which has a web address of www.incontinencesupport.org. (The url for both websites is slightly different-the one url has “incontinence” in the web address while the other has “incontinent” in the address.) The web address with “incontinence” in it is for the Incontinence Resource Center. I'm not sure whether these websites are related in any way. They seem to be slightly different. The best way to get to the appropriate website is to do a Google search and type “the new diaper primer” (with or without quotes) in the search bar.

One of the things I've mentioned repeatedly in my various articles is that picking an incontinence product is very subjective. In some cases there is a great deal of trial and error involved in picking a product that will best meet your needs. The factors involved in making this decision include the type and level of incontinence,whether your incontinence occurs during the day,night,or both, whether or not you want(or have) the time to wash diapers and plastic pants,etc. That is one of the reasons people prefer disposables-for the convenience they offer. If finances permit you might consider trying both disposable tape-on diapers and pin-on diapers and plastic pants to manage your bed-wetting. By trying both kinds you'll be able to determine what works best for you. Many people use both kinds of diapers. For example some people use the pin-on diapers and plastic pants to manage their bed-wetting during the cooler seasons such as fall,spring,and winter whereas during the summer months they switch to tape-on style diapers(also known as disposable briefs) In addition some people with both day and night incontinence wear disposables during the day and pin-on diapers at night. It's good to be flexible and open-minded.

As mentioned before,if you do decide to use pin-on diapers for your bed-wetting you should consider reading chapter 9 of “The New Diaper Primer”. There are two versions of this chapter-one is just text and the other has both text and pictures demonstrating how to fold and pin cloth diapers on in order to get the best fit and provide the most comfort and protection.

There is one last point I'd like to mention regarding using cloth diapers to manage bed-wetting. If you do decide to wear pin-on diapers keep in mind you must use waterproof pants to cover the diapers. The most widely used type of waterproof pants are plastic pants. Plastic pants such as the Gary,Suprima,and Comco brands have excellent reputations. Plastic pants have many advantages over other styles of waterproof pants including comfort,durability,and cost. My article “Brands of Plastic Pants for Older Bedwetters and Companies that Sell Them” discusses some of the more popular plastic pants available for bed-wetting.

Some companies that sell pin-on cloth diapers for both youth and adults include Loving Comfort Diaper Company,Angel Fluff Diaper Company,Babykins(also known as KINS which stands for Kinder Incontinence Supplies),and Adultclothdiaper.com. (also known as All Together Enterprises) I was on the Loving Comfort Diaper Company website and they mention that they can custom design diapers to meet specific needs(for instance if you have a child that won't fit into standard size diapers or if you need diapers with a particular level of absorbency they can design diapers to meet those needs).

If your older child,adolescent,or teenager is having difficulty adjusting to wearing diapers to bed you can read my article "Ways Parents Can Encourage Older Children,Adolescents,and Teenagers to Wear Diapers to Bed and Other Topics."

Whatever you do don't get discouraged if it takes you a while to find a suitable product. There's a lot of high quality products out there to deal with bed-wetting and other incontinence problems. As with
