Dad-To-Be Wears Wife’s Postpartum Diaper To Show Her She Doesn’t Have To Be Insecure
Becoming a new parent is an emotional rollercoaster, one that especially takes a toll on a new mom's body—both mentally and physically. Even after the baby is born, parents know that the road to recovery for mom is a little bit longer while her body and mind heal from their massive accomplishment.
Undoubtedly, the changes a woman's body goes through can make her feel extremely self-conscious, isolated, and even depressed. One thing that certainly helps a new mom through this time is having a supportive partner or family member. An expectant father named Patrick has gone viral on TikTok for sharing the hilarious and heartwarming way that he's supporting his wife through her pregnancy.
TikTok Dad-To-Be Shares Relatable Parenting Videos
Patrick is an excited father-to-be who started sharing videos of him and his wife preparing for the birth of their daughter on TikTok.
His videos have covered everything from feeling his daughter kick inside her mom's belly for the first time to preparing for pumping breast milk. But it's the video about his wife's postpartum diapers that is getting the most attention online with over 5 million views on TikTok already.
Pregnancy Is A Graphic And Intimate Process
Pregnancy for a new mom means signing up to go through intense labor, birth, and all of the postpartum recoveries with your partner in graphic detail.
Patrick wanted to show his wife that she can be comfortable around him at all times. He was so eager to ease her insecurities about life after giving birth that he started rocking her postpartum diapers himself.
His Wife Admitted She Was Feeling Insecure About Wearing Postpartum Diapers
The viral video starts with Patrick's wife smiling at the camera while a text caption reads: "When you tell your husband you're insecure about having to wear diapers after birth..."
She seems to be giggling and then covers her face as though comically embarrassed. When the camera flips around to reveal her husband, it's clear to see why.
He Decided To Wear Postpartum Diapers Himself To Make His Wife Feel Less Insecure
Patrick parades out of the bedroom with full confidence and swagger to the popular dance song "Buss It" by Erica Banks. He's only wearing his t-shirt, ball cap, and his wife's adult diapers.
Not only that, he puts on a little show and dances provocatively while pointing at both his wife and the camera—the man has got some moves.
Not Only Did He Wear The Diaper, He Worked It
He continues to march around the house on full display and heads to the minibar to make himself a drink.
His wife laughs behind the camera as he seductively winks at her and raises his eyebrows suggestively while staring her down, from the comfort of his diaper.
Dad Puts On Dinner And A Show In His Adult Diaper
At one point in the clip, Patrick loses his shirt and is on full display wearing only the diaper and his ball cap.
He continues his silly, daring dance moves as he scoops something that looks suspiciously hot out of a slow cooker and into a bowl. He's really giving new meaning to the phrase "dinner and a show."
He Ends His Diaper Dance Routine With A Couch Twerk Session
In the final scene of his one-man show, Patrick gives his wife a dance performance on the couch that definitely would have also been appropriate on a pole.
He totally embarrasses himself in a way that she probably never expected, all to show her that he truly doesn't care about the times she will have to wear the diaper after giving birth.
The Video Has Over 18K Comments From People Who Loved His Gesture
Patrick's gesture made a lot of women feel seen and supported, with one user commenting, "If my husband doesn't act like this, I'm getting a new one."
Somebody else wrote: "You are lucky to have such a supportive husband!" The comments section reflected how many women would love for their husbands to help them through insecurities like this.
Patrick Is Clearly Excited To Become A Father
People were quick to praise Patrick, calling him a "real man" and a great future father figure for being so in tune with his family's needs.
Another user joked: "He's a keeper!... Just as long as you don't have to change [the diaper]!"
