Just last weekend a friend and I were out running errands. I thought just a little gas was gonna come out. Got somewhat more that that. lol I really don't care for using diapers for things that come out the rear end but I liked the feeling of being really lucky I WAS wearing a diaper. I didn't have any extra diapers with me so I went to the bathroom, cleaned up a bit and changed as soon as I got back to my friends place a couple hours later.

I've recently started wearing plastic pants of my disposables. I mainly really love

All these issues may be "normal" by your standards, but the severity of my autistic traits and how much my daily life is affected by them

" How did you know that there was something "wrong" with you.---- You don't say how your autism manifests itself. " I was bullied constantly in school for being "the weird kid". I gave no shits about the thinks all the other kids were interested in. I used to talk at length about my odd interests and was teased for it. I didn't care about classes in school that I had no interest in, but did VERY well in classes I did find interesting.

I'm autistic too and also sometimes wish my autistic traits were more "severe". Mainly because I can function well enough that most people who aren't familiar with autism wouldn't assume I was autistic. This causes issues when people don't believe that certain things are difficult for me. I feel that if I were more obviously autistic, people would see it instantly and not give me shit for being autistic but not being obviously autistic. Another part of this is that I wasn't diagnosed until I was in my late 20s. I did HORRIBLY in school and neither my teachers or parents attempted to figure out the root cause of why I was having so many problems. I resent that I wasn't diagnosed as a kid. I think that if I were more severely/stereotypically autistic, I would actually have gotten the extra hep I needed and and would have a better life than I have now. I don't think my interest in diapers/incontinence has anything to do with me being autistic. I've been thinking about if anyone finds out and asks why I wear diapers, I'd explain that I have sensory issues due to being autistic and I can't always tell when I need to pee.

Here we go. I designed it under the assumption that the sharp bend at the end will kinda "hook" the edge of the inside of the bladder. The bulge at the end rests just "downstream" of my prostate. I took a hot needle and pierced two holes just ahead of the bulge at the end to feed the line through. I cut a length of cord, crimped/bent the end so I could feed it into the end of the stent, out of one of the holes, around the outside, back into the other hole and back out the end of the stent. I knotted the ends that hang outside together. It stayed in well and was pretty comfortable. I had it in for 3 days at one point until I recognized the symptoms of a mild UTI. It has been a couple weeks since I had it in. I'm gonna make a new one when I feel like it's safe to try again. Stretched out, it's about 5.25 inches long. The tip to the sharp bend is 1.25 inches. From the bend to the center of the bulge is roughly 3.5 inches. It's a 14fr cath and the bulge is made out of 1/4 OD tubing from Home Depot. After I made it, I washed it with soap and let it soak in alcohol to get it as clean as possible before putting it in.

Sorry I've been away. I'm trying to upload pics and it says I'm limited to 8.5mb even though my file size is half that :/

I can't take a pic at the moment.... since it's in use

I made a new stent with a slightly different design and have had it in for the past 48 hours! I'm loving this so much! I'm so glad I made the jump to making a stent. It's AMAZING! I love the feeling of not being able to hold back the pee and being able to feel it coming out. I love the surge of pee I get

I made my first stent the other day out of a 14fr intermittent catheter. I absolutely LOVE IT!!!!!!! I use the remainder of the catheter as an insertion tool. When I first got it in place properly and put my (cheap) diaper on, I was sitting on my bed doing stuff on my computer and when I got up a couple hours later there was a wet spot on my bed. It felt amazing because I wet my diaper and bed and didn't have the sensation of having a catheter in! I can feel myself peeing but I didn't realize how much I was. I can't describe how excited I am that this works so well! I'm gonna start seeing how long I'm willing to keep it in. Gonna have to start getting better diapers!

Here's my stent. I used a 14fr intermittent cath and used a lighter to bend it. I used fishing line for the retrieval cord. It stayed in place last night until I

OMG OMG OMG! Had it in (with a diaper on) for about an hour and a half and pretty much forgot about it..... until I got up

I LOVE this feeling! It's amazing!!!!! I can't believe I haven't tried this before. I made it out of a 14fr intermittent catheter with some fishing line for retrieval. I made sure everything was super clean and am gonna try leaving it in overnight tonight. Should be interesting! If it works well (stays in), I'm gonna be using it a LOT!

I got a sample pack of diapers, so I'm trying different ones. So far my favorite for day use at work is the Tina Super. I've been using the Wallgreens Certainty brand 24/7 for the past couple months. After trying different ones, I'm gonna start using the Tina Super from now on. I can get a case of 56 from Amazon for $44. That should last me 2 weeks so I can afford it. Gonna start ordering them every two weeks to stay supplied. I also really like the Tranquility ATN for when I'm in the mood for plastic backed diapers.
