A:
Walking around town in a T-shirt and an adult diaper can raise questions about public decency laws, which vary by location. Most places have ordinances regarding public dress codes to ensure that individuals wear clothing that covers private areas adequately. While a T-shirt might be acceptable, an adult diaper might not meet these requirements for public decency.
It's important to check the specific laws and ordinances in your town. In many communities, wearing clothing that exposes undergarments or resembles underwear might be considered indecent exposure, which could result in legal consequences. Law enforcement typically enforces these rules to maintain public order and decency.
If you have a specific need to wear an adult diaper due to medical reasons, it might be helpful to ensure it is covered by additional clothing to avoid any potential issues. Consulting local regulations or speaking with a legal professional can provide clarity on what is permissible in your area, helping you avoid any misunderstandings or legal problems.
