There has been many studies of infertility of males using disposable diapers. It has not been a proven fact that it causes infertility. I have read on that subject.
Anyway my original post was not intended for everyone to go out and buy diapers and wear them. What I am saying is that there are alot of kids past the todler stage that wet the bed or pants and need protection. I did when I was a kid. I was put in diapers. Just because they have on a diaper doesnt mean they are a baby. Thats why they make diapers for adults. It will only humiliate a child for wearing diapers if you let it or you are the one making diaper/baby references. When I was put back in diapers, I was told that many kids wear them to protect them at nite and that they are not just for babies.
Diapers can be pulled off and on just like pull ups once applied. I did it as a kid. Like I said, pull ups are diapers, one uses tape tabs and one has elastic sides. My father in law works for Kimberly Clark and he says that the diapers and pullups are made with the same fluff, just that diapers are a little bit thicker and absorb more. To me it doesnt matter if its a "pull up" or a "diaper" they both serve the same purpose, its just that society has made a big deal out of kids past 3 in diapers.
And yes I have read where other cultures are diaperless or having kids potty trained at or before one year of age, but they do not have debt up to their eyebrows and have to have a two incomes in the household. Look at China, I have read articles where they have kids in diapers up to age 7. Like I said before, its a diaper not the plauge.

It sounds like most that have answered this have not even read your first question.
I agree with you, again, 100%.
I wet the bed until I was 13, the problem being that my bladder didn't develop completely until then and therefore I didn't have full control of myself and wet the bed.
I didn't have too many accidents during the day so I didn't have to wear diapers then but I did need something at night. As I got older the accidents became less frequent so it just evolved to a plastic sheet on the bed to protect the matress instead of wearing diapers.
Why are people so unfeeling and think that the child is deliberately wetting the bed or the parents aren't doing their job when the child is still wetting far past the age of three?
Don't they realize that we are all only human and none of us is ever completely free of some sort of problem, either physically or mentally?
Just because most think that kids should be potty trained by age three doesn't mean that all kids will be. I'm glad I don't have to deal with any of those that have that kind of attitude.
They need to get some human feelings and consideration for others. I hope they are never put into a position that someone will misjudge them because of some ailment they may have and others think that the cure is to get off their lazy a.s.s. and do something about it. That isn't always the answer.
I wish more had your concern and feelings about their fellow human beings.
Thank you.

I think that you have the question and answer segments of this website mixed up.
I bet having a diaper on at age 7 is a real chick magnet when you are in the 2nd grade. "...hey baby.. you wanna pull my tabs?" but I have seen some kids wear diapers long past 2 years. I am sure at some point they realize that its better to use the toilet instead of a diaper.
As for fertility, at that age, the testicles have not even descended into the scrotum so even though the baby has a nut sack, he certainly does not have balls down there yet.

It sounds like to me that you need a vacation. Slow down and take a breath. Why worry what other people say.
