I know a few times it would irk me when Nurses call my diapers briefs but I always tell them I wear diapers and not ashamed to call them diapers. I know nurses that have told me that they don't call them diapers because they think it makes people feel ashamed of being in a diaper. I often tell them a diaper is a diaper regardless if it's being put on an infant, child, teen, adult or elderly. To me, I am not ashamed of wearing diapers and not humiliated for wearing them.
