    • Anya nodded slowly in encouragement and held a hand out to him. She took his shaky hands and pulled him closer to the bath tub. "It's alright. Climb in now, you're okay." She whispered, stroking his cheek and giving him a small smile. As soon as he was in the tub, he gently pushed his head back into the water, getting his hair wet so she could wash it. She was kind of clumsy- she had never bathed anyone before! But, she was at least TRYING to be gentle. 
    • From my experience:  wearing nappies and developing dependence (or if you like, incontinence) are NOT automatically linked.  There are loads of people on this place who have spent many years nappy-clad and yet remain completely continent whether by desire or by stubborn psychology. If I was to compare your experience with my own and take a guess at what “stages” might be, I’d have you at stage 1 (stage 0 having been a decision to wear nappies full-time).  For me, stage 1 was hallmarked by me becoming very used to wearing and wetting nappies: this to the point where it sometimes felt effortless to the point where I thought it might be happening automatically but it wasn’t.  I also started to notice being wet less (because I was wet most of the time to some extent).  Another marker of this stage was conformational bias causing me to misinterpret comfort and a high degree of practice with loss of control:  I thought things were "progressing" when they probably weren't.  Sorry. My experience to date suggests this is true for me.  Our wiring for continence is remarkably resilient and I believe that some of the internet content out there on the topic is at best fanciful. Like @Little Sherri I’m coming up to 7 years of full time nappies making little to no effort at bladder control.  Right from the start I made sure that any time I became aware that there was ANY pee in my bladder I let it go into my nappy.  Whilst not specifically seeking de-training at the time I’d quickly learned that my nappies worked much better this way.  Nappies prefer frequent passing showers to episodic monsoonal flooding.  They hold more and leak less when used in this way. It’s also the accepted strategy for de-training so has that happened? Kind of a bit, but not completely and I suspect that with a bit of perseverance, it would be reversible. My daytime status is similar to @Little Sherri.  For the most part I wet my nappy during the day because I choose to permit this although my bladder doesn't hold very much anymore so I wet VERY frequently in very small volumes.  I can't hold for very long and will swiftly progress to have an accident if I try too hard.   Once I've started peeing I can't stop anymore.  If I wasn't wired the way I am, I'd probably wear daytime pull ups by now to manage car trips etc. anyway.  I can choose to remain dry for short periods of time but it takes active concentration.  By default, I'll let go into my nappy without thinking about it but it's still volitional.  There are one or two medical appointments per year that I don't wear nappies for because it would be impossible to conceal them from the practitioner.  I can do this but I have to keep reminding myself NOT to pee.  I suspect that if I stayed out of nappies for a few days, I would at some point wet my pants because I forgot not to but that's still not physiological incontinence. It's exactly the same for me.  I am now a fully fledged nappy-clad bed wetter.   Sometimes I will dream that I am peeing.  Sometimes I will wake up mid-pee. Most times I've no idea but just wake up wet with an empty bladder.  This appeared in well defined stages and the transition between some of these stages happened quite abruptly it seems. I started to wet the bed only after several months (by which time nocturia had developed anyway).  It was probably around the 3 year mark when that bedwetting flipped from "occasional" to "usually at least weekly".  Not that long ago it has seemed to have progressed to "every night".  I'm usually wet every night now. I was NOT a bedwetter as a kid.  I was the complete opposite.  I was toilet trained VERY early (out of nappies before I was 2) and allegedly dry at night by 2.5.  Irrespective of this I followed pretty much the same trajectory as @Little Sherri and sank back into bedwetting 50 years later. This data point suggests that this is a learned behaviour rather than an innate physiological bias.  I pee in my sleep because my brain is now re-wired that this is "ok" to do.  I don't even bed-wet because I have a full bladder.  During my transition into bedwetting I noticed that it first started happening not long after I first fell asleep and was not a full bladder's worth.  I find myself strangely comfortable with my bedwetting even though years ago I assumed I would be horrified if this started happening and that I would immediately come out of nappies. I'm also comfortable with my "toddler bladder" and realise that for certain things, my nappy is now a practical necessity rather than a lifestyle choice. I suspect I'll be ok with full blown incontinence if that ever happens but I'm not convinced that it does.    
    • Jimmy blushed a bit embarrassed but she was right he was gonna have to get used to this sooner or later so it might as well be now... So he stripped all the way down to his underwear but hesitated for a moment this was the last time he'll probably ever be in big boy undies so wet and uncomfortable or not he didn't wanna take it off but he knew he would have to eventually do with the slight hesitation he pulled off his underwear and waited for the next instructions
    • My wife resigned from her job a month and a half ago and is going back to university to do a Masters (in cybersecurity). She will be staying in Halls of Residence whilst I remain home, about a 4.5 hour drive away. Her course starts on 3rd January. So... I've decided to set myself a challenge for next year. I'm going to attempt to not use the toilet at all for the whole year. I know some of you will be thinking "Pfft, I do that already!" and... fair enough. I don't, but I want to try it. I go in to it knowing that the chances of success, ie. 0 toilet uses, is relatively small, there will inevitably be occasions where it just isn't going to be possible, but I'm going to do my best to stick to the goal. I'm planning to keep stats on things like: number of wet nappies, messy nappy, how many changes each day, and, obviously, if I buckle and use the potty. That said, I would be keen to hear if anyone has any ideas for what else to keep track of, or any tips for going 24/7 for everything for a prolonged period.
