    • As others have said: being diapered is not as obvious as you think it is (assuming some basic discretion with fashion choices).  In most social contexts you should get away with this but for sure, it could be limiting in some circumstances.  Beaches, pool parties, camping trips could be tough if you had to keep your diapers under the radar. This is all assuming you are “wet only”.  If you’re out in full diapers for any length of time, a lot of people are going to notice pretty quickly 😒 Having said that, it’s likely that immediate family members that you co-habit with are going to find out at some point anyway.  That’s the reality. I am going to point out the obvious: if you’re age is correct, it’s going to be life-limiting to some extent somewhere.  This is something you can always play with here and there and come back to it at a life-stage where it gets less in the way.  Nobody would think any less of you for dipping in and out of 24/7 as suits you.  If anything, it reflects cool judgement. Incontinence will take years.  You might see bedwetting sooner but you’re still probably looking at many months at least.
    • I've thought for a really long time that neuroatypicality and kink go hand in hand.  While I have developed a working hypothesis (well, several actually) for why, I have seen almost no research actually looking into the nature of it.   It's unclear whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.  On the one hand, the field of psychiatry is replete with biases and prejudices that stigmatize neuroatypicality (and any form of sex other than heterosexual missionary, which itself must be relegated to the a bedroom and may only be displayed in advertisements for Calvin Klein underwear) in incredibly toxic and anti-scientific ways.  That's nothing new, though.  The entire field exists to define normalcy (as if "normalcy" had a unidimensional standard that could be monolithically defined) for the purpose of identifying all that deviates from it.  "Who" gets to write that definition is an issue of systemic/institutional abuse of power that wasn't even identified until the mid to late 1970s.  Turns out it's only those who have accumulated "status" within the system/institution itself.  And "how" those definitions are written is an even more precarious issue.   On the other hand, the actual stigmas about neuroatypicality and kink are, themselves, the cultural reflection of the biases and prejudice of the field of psychiatry.  That is not to say that psychiatry alone is the cause; it is not.  Nonsensical ideas of those who lead and influenced other institutions (e.g., organized religion) have played a very significant role too.  That's also nothing new.  Turns out the catholic church, for example, has amassed untold levels of wealth and power by defining what counts as "sin" and selling the idea of salvation from it; it's no coincidence their "tradition" has equal weight to a series of texts they would not even ALLOW the "masses" to read in their own language for more than a millennia.  Translate the vulgate into low German?  There's a burning at the stake in order for you, so sayeth the Pope in Rome!  Question his alleged "holiness" at your peril, too.   The field of psychiatry works the same way the Catholic church does. Same humiliation rituals of confession.  Same "intercessor" structure.  Same institutional refusal to look outside of itself.  Same top-down subject/object relationship between those in power (whether wearing a frock or holding a terminal degree in the field of "psychiatry") and those subject to that power (whether partitioners or patients).  Same hierarchal, centralized power structure that is wholly unaccountable to it's "subjects."  It's no wonder they both have so much influence on each other.  Both (a) the 19th century theological view of homosexuality's influence on the field of psychiatry in the 20th, and (b) the 20th century DSM view on "trans" and gender non-conformity's influence on 21st century theological views of gays, lesbians, trans people and the gender-nonconforming.  To even question "the experts" openly or challenge the "institutions" is treated as an act of heresy and punished similarly, now.  Maybe that's why eugenics, which was an idea of American psychiatrists, and the resulting political consequences (e.g., the third reich) didn't translate into cultural resistance to, or even skepticism of, the field from which that idea arose.  And maybe that's also why mass child exploitation, which is an institutionalized idea of the Catholic church, and its continuity didn't translate into cultural resistance to, or even questioning of, the institution that has normalized it for at least the last 250 years. I'd almost rather not have psychiatrists looking into the convergence between kink and neuroatypicality.   Sidebar: Freud was a rapist that used the fields of psychology/psychiatry to gaslight entire populations into believing that the normalized and institutionalized abuse of children, by men in power, who held status within institutions, simply "could not" have happened.  Freud also gaslit entire cultures into believing that any such victim, who had the audacity to name their abusers out loud, could not be believed.  He laid the cultural foundation to discredit even the sworn testimony of rape victims and victims of child abuse.   There's real talk in Washington about reopening "mental health" institutions; probably because Trump's cabinet wants to chemically lobotomize left-wing protesters (e.g., people who show up to protest ICE).  But it's not like that species of abuse of power is limited to Trump, America or its right-wing.  Hardly.  For example, in Canada, the psychiatric and medical "ethicists" (all who hold that title in Canada espouse doctrinally pure left-wing mainstream views, just in case you were wondering) are trying to normalize the murder of high support needs autistic and mentally disabled people in Canada.  And the way they're trying to institutionalize that norm (as a standard practice) is by justifying it with neoliberal logic, too.  Their goal?  To "conserve scarce resources" that might be better "allocated" elsewhere.  One might wonder how much longer "the people" will act as if the power of "institutions" and the authority of those who hold rank within them is worthy of axiomatic deference.  I'm not on the right or the left, btw. I'm just against abusing people and perpetuating self destructive cycles, especially those we re-enact because of our collective unconsciousness.  So weird that Carl Jung was (arguably) the first person to notice the pattern, right?  Kind of makes you wonder if that had something to do with WHY he refused to have the Red Books published until so many years after his death.  Maybe we'll remember the modern era as that point in human civilization when a person's "worth" of a person's life was measured by his capacity to be used by another as a "means" of productivity; but the *post*-modern era will be that point when a person's very right to sustain life will be held to the same standard?  Personally, I'd rather not become the subject of any psychiatrist's inquiry; belonging to the field, while participating in its institutional practices (knowingly or ignorantly) is competent evidence that each such "practitioner" should not be trusted, whatever their purported intentions.  The most dangerous risk is one with good, or at least not actively malicious, intentions; who is subsequently followed by others who will use their positions to do harm.  As they historically have.  And inevitably may, again.   Some things get better.  Institutions almost never do.  They just change how they behave, based on the composition of who populates their ranks over time.  
    • I was so tempted to say Inuyasha! eheh, I grew up with that, and I absolutely love anything that Rumiko Takahashi does~ Hamtaro I watched a tiny bit of too! I grew up with all sorts of early 2000's shounen and slice-of-lifes so a lot of that is what I have nostalgia and littlespace feels over~
    • This was too good to be true for Camilla, she didn't even have to give the girl a spanking to get her to admit it, she just blurted it out as she started to cry. But even though this was something Camilla wanted, she still felt bad for Madison. Camilla just gently shushed the girl letting her cry as she rubbed her back, she even bounced her a tiny bit like a toddler saying things like it was going to be okay and she's not naughty for having an accident, letting Madison cry out her frustrations, till her loud sobbing turned into quiet sniffling.
