Personal Pictures

[Archives1]

I have no desire to put a picture of me in a diaper on a public forum. Too embarrassing for me. On the other hand, Depends is running an ad campaign showing regular people wearing one of their disposable briefs. I appreciate that they are trying to remove the stigma of incontinence. I'm not about to complain about that, or are you offended by it?

I've seen commercials for Depend and I think another brand but those are simply the underwear that I recall. The purpose is to normalize an absorbent product that resembles regular underwear. If there was actually ads showing normal people in tape on briefs, I'd be surprised.

Jason: Let It Be, indeed. But I do try to recognize and avoid offending others sensibilities. Not sure it's a big issue with a lot, or not, but I'll go along with the NAFC's request/rule.
Sort of like the issue of what to call various people of color. Negroes, colored, blacks? I can go with what most of them want. I agree with the issue of Native American and First Nation (Canada) iof names/stereotypes. Voting is only once or twice a year, darn it. To say a single person can't make a difference, though, is one of the oldest and weakest Rationalizations. Private message is a good idea, I think. Thanks everyone's for yout input.

I'm very pleased this action has been taken; not a big fan of seeing people wearing products. Whilst I applaud their confidence, I feel it's overly personal and very much enters into the realm of 'too much information'. I understand that it can be helpful in certain circumstances - for example I recall one thread in which someone was asking for advice re fit/sizing and wanted feedback so posted a picture. It took me a significant amount of time to learn how to properly tape products on myself and gain an understanding about how sizing works so I get that people may want pointers.

However, it feels many personal pictures on here didn't really serve a purpose and re sizing most brands/stores will include pictures of products and advice re how to put them on. I feel a blanket ban is the best approach.

After a couple of days absorbing this information, a disturbing thought came to me today. Are you familiar with book bans? You may have rejoined when your local library banned “Fifty Shades of Grey.” Will you feel the same when someone bans the Bible?

I could express much more. But think about it. You’ll get the picture - provided, of course, that it’s not banned.

Oh good lord. NAFC has asked that people not post pictures of themselves in diapers. It’s not the end of the world and it’s not some kind of nazi ban on all things diapers. NAFC is a private organization and Can do whatever they want with their message board. It’s not like you can’t use the “d” word. They simply don’t want people posting half naked pictures of themselves.

Also it makes you wonder if people have ulterior motives when they post themselves in a diaper. One guy was recently posting a video of himself peeing in a pull up. Ffs that is not necessary.

My only response is that the pictures I posted were informative, posted by request, and I received positive feedback about them.

Not everyone that stumbles onto this site is an adult. It’s inappropriate to post half naked pictures of yourself when teenagers could be lurking. Post them on your Instagram account if you feel the need or share them privately. This is not the place.

For goodness sake! Come on, everybody! If you want help that personnel, explain what the problem is, maybe say you want to show a selfie, and ask for an exchange or help via Private Message. Censorship & banning? Grow up! Talk about overreacting!
Justej has very important points. (1) you don't know the age of your viewer, even if they send a private message. (2) Consider the law about minors! If you ask for help from someone in specific, make sure you read his/her past posts, see if you can estimate sincerity and age.
Then both of you use common sense. (Common sense is not so common. I think Voltaire said that.)

I would appreciate it if you could communicate your point without patronizing or demeaning others. Thank you.
