    • I 100% agree. Looking at this the other way, I’m convinced that for people like us, our "bedwetting" is instigated by our brains and not our bladders.  Sure, there are people out there who wet the bed because it’s a nocturnal manifestation of their physiological incontinence but that’s not most of the cohort here.  I think we CHOOSE to wet the bed: at some level.  It's a kind of functional incontinence.  Remember that being asleep is NOT being unconscious.  Sleep is just an altered state of consciousness.  I recall the case study written by Milton Erickson, the famous US psychiatrist and psychologist.  In it he “cured” and adult married couple of their bedwetting by a program that included protracted forced periods of both of them deliberately wetting the bed when they got into it before sleeping.  He was playing around moving the choice to bedwet forward in their consciousness whereupon they could see it and eventually, bring it back into control. I’ve always thought that in this lesson there was much evidence that there is some kind of risk/reward calculation going on in our heads when we are deciding how much to wake up in order to have a pee.  Having said that, once a behaviour is ingrained deeply enough I've learned my sleepy-brain can make some pretty dodgy assumptions with respect to those risk/reward inputs 🤣 So the flip side of this is that we can choose NOT to.  I'm not sure exactly what the "way" is but I'm quietly confident I could largely retrain myself to be dry at night.  I'm not sure I'd ever get to 100% but I might get away with a pull-up. I just don't think I want to do that.
    • For me it was two things. First I've had bedwetting issues my whole life and I've always needed protection at night, puberty included. Combine that with the only alone time I really got at home being after bedtime and you can do the math 🙃 Second I was diagnosed with autism pretty young and was sheltered a lot so I always felt behind and less mature than everyone around me and was really self conscious about the fact I still liked a lot of stuff the stuff that other kids had grown out of. Obviously bedwetting was part of it but it was also stuff like what I watched, liking toys, stuffies, making blanket forts and not really knowing how to "act my age" and completely failing a lot when I did.  Eventually I got on the internet, searched stuff about diapers, found out about abdl and realized that there were a lot of other people who felt the same. I learned that theres lots of people like me who both need diapers and like wearing them and I didn't need to feel guilty about it, and all that insecurity and stuff about being less mature was just me not realizing that I had a little side like plenty of other people.  
    • I swear to god, saw this happen more than once, and the damn flight attendant didn't dare to tell them its inappropriate to do this. My cousin worked with the cleaning team that are supposed to clean the plane, guess what, the only time the plane is cleaned properly is when there's no flight scheduled with it during a night, which only happen once in a blue moon, they have 20 minutes to clean the cabin, so around 15 seconds per row, and there's no exception in business or premium class, so you may want to bring some clorox wipes, wear gloves when boarding and do not touch anything with any parts of your body before you sanitize it with clorox wipes, bonus tip, I always carry a bunch of ziploc bags, perfect to dispose of the used wipes and gloves, and all the little things you want to discard during the flight.
    • I primarily drink my coffee at home first thing in the morning.  I still like going to coffeeshops though.  I usually don't buy coffee there....instead I'll have tea or other beverages on the menu....  
    • That's really close to how it went for me too. I was switched to them when I was 13 because that was when I started taking my diapers off every night and didn't like the back zipper at all. And even though I liked how comfy they were I missed having the option of the fleecy jammies that were my favorites back then. Anyway it took me a few months to stop being annoyed at them and like 6 months-ish before I just considered them my normal pjs instead of something I just had to wait out. After that they were no big deal, and skipping forward to now I actually like them better than front zip sleepers! LKS are still my favs too 😄
