I wet my nappy last night.

Not quite all my life, but for a very long time. I'm 82 years old and became incontinent as the result of a surgical mishap when I was 14 years old (in 1956). I've never been reliably dry at night since that mishap. I don't wet in my sleep every night; but if I don't wet while asleep, needing to pee wakes me up at least three times during the night. So for many years, I've worn a diaper an used it at night instead of getting up to use the bathroom. Doing that enables me to get a lot more rest and generally feel better.

For me, being incontinent and needing to wear a diaper was a big impediment to the development of romantic relationships. Many people don't want to be intimate with someone who needs to use diapers.

I became incontinent as a result of a surgical mishap when I was 14 years old. I wore diapers 24/7/365 for about 50 years before I retired. However, after I retired and am spending a lot of time at home in my house with 3 functioning bathrooms, I've switched to wearing a diaper only at night and when I'm away from home. Not needing to be diapered 24/7 saves a lot of money and enables me to manage my incontinence in ways that provide more freedom.

Brian, why do you need authorization to get incontinence supplies?

I became incontinent as the result of an unexpected side effect of surgery when I was 14 years old in 1956. So I've now been living with bladder-control issues for 68 years. Becoming incontinent as a young teenager was devastating, in fact so devastating that I contemplated suicide. So I definitely understand how some people feel that incontinence has their lives. However, fortunately, I didn't kill myself. And I came to appreciate the sensuality that diapers can provide and realized that I did not have to suffer from incontinence and could to a degree even enjoy it. Unfortunately, many people living with incontinence never get beyond the suffering stage.

Just go to a medical supply store and buy what. you want. You don't ned to tell your urologist anything.

My incontinence started as the result of a surgical mishap when I was 14 years old. After the surgery, I bled excessively and developed what started out as a urinary tract infection which spread throughout my body and nearly killed me. None of my doctors have been able to describe exactly how these events affected my urinary system. But I developed urge incontinence that has persisted for many years. I'm not reliably dry at night and have sudden "urges" to pee that result in daytime leakage unless I can get to a bathroom within a very few minutes.

If you have only recently started to wet again after a prolonged period of being dry at night, you should consult a doctor. Starting to wet at age 19 is unusual despite a history of childhood enuresis. If something is wrong (such as a urinary tract infection), you might also start having daytime problems. Get it checked out to be on the safe side.

Would this desired dependence on a diaper for sexual pleasure rule out having sexual intercourse with a partner?

'The high likelihood of wetting my pants is the reason I always wear a diaper if I'm going anywhere where I might not be able to get to a toilet quickly when the need to pee arises.

If I wet without waking up, being in a diaper means that diaper gets wet but the bed stays dry. And if I wake up needing to pee, using the diaper means that I don't have to get up to go to the bathroom.

In the front of many brands of diapers, the top edge of the diaper is an inch or so above the top or the absorbent pad inside the diaper. I fold the top edge of the diaper down inside toward, and if it reaches, over the top of the absorbent pad. Insuring that I am pointing down inside the diaper is also very important.

Over the. years, I have had many variations of what is basically the same dream. I'm somewhere in front of a sizeable audience giving a speech or answering questions when I realize that I'm not wearing any trousers over my diaper. No one seems to have noticed the diaper until after I notice it, at which point they begin laughing and calling me "diaper boy."

It's been over 70 years since I wore rubber pants that came in a cardboard tube. So my memory is a bit hazy. However, I think that the tubes looked approximately like your picture.
