Latest News and Updates

I'm wearing a rearz hook and loop with a North shore booster. On about 4 hrs  now.  Its getting wet now. Wont change until I wake up.

I guess you would call it lately. I have been wearing diapers to bed for a bit more than a year. I usually wake enough to have a very hazy memory of wetting.  I have only had a few times that, even after searching my brain, cannot remember waking. My goal is to sleep wet every night and just be awed by the wetness upon waking in the morning. Although that is a difficult dream to catch, I'm enjoying the journey.  I still consider myself a bedwetter because I still awake everyday to a puffy, soaked diaper every morning. So I will stay the course, and see where it leads. 

Merriam Webster Dictionary Definition incontinence noun in·con·ti·nence in-ˈkän-tə-nən(t)s a : inability of the body to control the evacuative functions of urination or defecation b : failure to restrain sexual appetite Cambridge Dictionary Definition incontinence noun uk ɪnˈkɒn.tɪ.nəns us ɪnˈkɑːn.tə.nəns inability to control the excretion of urine or the contents of the bowels: As per dictionary definition, incontinence is either (a) inability of the body to control evacutation OR (b) failure to retain sexual appetite. Now, since you wish to use the actual definition... ... the dictionary definition is "inability to control". For that to be true, there has to be zero control and therefore, for zero control there has to be zero muscle action, as each and every muscle action is a controlled action i.e. it is directed by the brain via motor neurons. Therefore for one to be incontinent, the relevant sphincter (read valve at exit) must be in a relaxed state and open. Yes, there are a percentage of people worldwide that this exists, where they void by gravity 24/7/365 - i.e. constantly weep urine / fecal matter. Most infants, from birth, react to a need, either a full bladder / bowel, and due to either not knowing any better / being taught to do same, trigger their bladder / bowels to relax so they void into a diaper / pants / clothes. This is a controlled response, which over time, becomes autonomic or what is referred to as reflex action. Since this is a controlled responce to a trigger, it contradicts the definition of "inability to control", so there is no way one can define that person as incontinent as it does not match the actual dictionary definition. In biological terms, there is a bypass link in the spine to trigger the bladder / bowel to void, but it is toilet training that interferes with this link to break it. Once broken, it is difficult to allow it to regrow, but in some spinal injury paitents to has been known to regrow. However, medical / surgical intervention in the weeks following the spinal injury with implants etc (stoma / indwelling catheter) defeats the process of the link to re-establish itself. Yes, there are some people that are "incontinent". There is a higher portion that are diaper dependant where they / another on their behalf, choose for them to use a diaper. A high portion of babies / infants are diaper dependant, where another has chosen that the baby / infant uses the diaper and are changed. Some adults, members here as well as others, chose to use a diaper rather than attempt to reach a bathroom. Yes, their body originally, may have given them notice of the need to void, but due to complications relating to getting to a bathroom in time, either relating to mobility / speed / timings or other, the physics and logistics don't work out so they end up voiding in their pants / bed if they chose not to wear some form of protection garment. I will somewhat agree in the statement... ....that an infant may void in a diaper / pants etc., however, defining them as incontinent is identifing a behaviour and then assigning an incorrect term for that behaviour. In relation to the phrase communication ability...  ... is another sweeping statement. It is linking a premise of 'abililty to communicate' using terms of reference of being able to communicate with another, and creating a false conclusion. Facts A baby / infant can communicate with its parents. Twins can communicate with each other from birth. A person from a different country can communicate with their fellow country people in their own language. People within a trade / business can communicate via specific business terms. Social groups sometimes use a different language / text to communicate with each other. This does not define either groups as diaper dependant or incontinent due to the fact that not all others can understand. Worldwide age of potty training varies by gender and demographics. The determining factors are based on the following:- Diaper type - cloth vs disposable Full Time parent vs child care facility Social norms / behaviours that are adapted  Disposable diapers are designed, and marketed, to remove the feedback to the child that they are wet / messy. As a result, the child is not in incentivized to use a bathroom since the feedback loop is absent. All the child sees is that its diapers are changed whenever. When the child is placed in a child care facility and not under the direct supervision of its parent, it is not a priority to entice the child to toilet train as that requires a one to one interaction almost constantly. In simple terms, an infant / baby / child behaves to mimic what surrounds it, and doesn't question that behaviour - it doesn't know any difference to enable it to query its environment. History shows us that feral children (spent a number of early years in the wild)  have a lack of language, walk on all fours, as well as numerous other differences compared to a child raised in 'captivity'. What the feral children usually have, that most children don't develop until at least 7 year old, is a survival and defence mechanism. In the modern world, it is normal to place an infant/baby in disposable diapers, childcare where the parent returns to the workplace. In some countries worldwide, using either elimination communication protocols or similar, the child never 'learns' to void in diapers / pants and to ignore that side of its bodies needs. In the era before disposable diapers, the average age a child was 'potty trained' was between 12 and 18 months. Even as late as 1980's, disposable diaper sizes didn't exist to fit past a 24 month old child. Today, dispoable diaper sizes made by P&G and others that make baby diaper sizes, cover up to ages 12-15 years old. (Yes, I am aware that some ABDL diapers marketed for adults have baby  prints etc.) These companies do not produce a product that there is no market for, which deems that there is a large portion of 12-15 year olds that are still diaper dependant due to not being trained, or more correctly, being trained to use a diaper since birth. The concept of 'waiting till s/he is ready' is assigning a decision /  / reponsibility to a person that has no motivation to make that decision. As a result, child care specialist suggest creating the motivation either placing said child in cloth 'training pants' and/or in an environment where said child is surrounded / interacting with other children of similar age that are toilet trained. Placing a child in that environment, due to the nature and behaviour of young children (not fully developed pre-frontal cortex), the diaper dependant child will be teased by his/her peers, and, this level of intimidation can cause permenant damage to the diaper dependant child. Even today, a late toilet trained child (later than 2 - 2 1/2 year old) where his/her peers are trained by 1 1/2 - 2 year old, can cause damage. This damage that I refer to is shown as poor level of self-confidence and a weak form of self - independence. From a pscyological and mental growth perspective, where one of the many items a baby/infant learns (refered to as milestones) is delayed, it effects further / higher levels of development. An example of this would be a child entering school with no knowledge of the alphabet where the rest of the class are familiar with same. As a result, this child needs to learn the alphabet in order to keep up with the rest of the class while they are learning combination of letter that form words and sentances. From day one in education, the child is always playing 'catch up' so s/he can equal her/his peers. Similar occur in the world where a child enters an english speaking school only knowing her/his own language. @Slomo may be attempting to equate similar, where it is known that a child with parents of a different mother tounge to the country they live in, the child delays the time it begins to talk. The reason for this is that the child is building a database of words in its mind, and not just a list linked to images of items. In simple terms, the child stores an image of an object where it links it to the two names for it, as compared to the child of single language that stores the name on top of the image. If these children are aware of the alphabet(s), the text form of the word is stored linked to the muscle movement to pronounce the text form. Without knowledge of the alphabet(s), all that is stored is the muscle movement to pronounce the audio sound - where this is copied from the people that surround the child. A child raised in child care, will pronounce the words in the accent of the childcare workers. This was discovered in the last 10-15 years, when a number of childcare workers were casual employees where their pronouncation was 'broken' or 'coloured' by their own nationality. This delay in achieving that level of complex communication does not preclude / prevent the child communicating with its own parents. This has been proven where twins develop their own methodology in communication usually years before they talk. Variances of that is also seen in siblings and/or friends who were made in early childhood and/or some social interactive groups within its members. i.e. SMS text, netspeak etc. A smaller version of 'internal communication protoco' exists within trades - and is referred to as trade based terminology. This is were each trade has its own list of T.L.A.s (two - three letter acronyms).

Interesting. The ad it's self didn't have anyone in diapers, it was essentially promoting their products.

I paid $5 for the bag and I expected cheap stuff being Attends , but when I got home and the bag large enough for 24 diapers like I have seen? and only had 10 diapers I was surprised , I had to pull one out and I think they are thicker than a MegaMax I can use it as long or a little longer than a MegaMax...
