I've heard only good things about Crinklz and Megamax, although they're unfortunately quite harder to get here in Europe. I saw some Sunkiss Masterpiece being sold for a decent price on Amazon (about 135€ for 40 of them, which given they absorb about 4x what my current diapers do, is quite good), but wanted to see if there are better (and cheaper) ways to get them compared to Amazon. Tena Slips are about 80€ for a 72 pack which is very good.

Please don't speculate on my authorial intent. With very few exceptions, most of my works are commissions, collaborations and requests. I tend to write what people pay me to write.  Edit: Including this, and Ersatz.  Unfair, Dante's Infanzia, and College or Cribs are pretty much the only ones that are wholly "mine". 

Yup. You're learing the finer points of diapers like everyone else that's 24/7.  Drying out is very important. I find that lying on my bed with ceiling fan on high works best (and fastest). I use a baby diaper for catching any dribbling. And I'm good in just 5 minutes. And don't forget the diaper cream or ointment after that. The USA Tena is a mid-grade diaper. It's ok 1 full bladder emptying then it's done and needs changing right away. You "can" make it work for full or funtional incontinence, but you also have to change them at least every 4-5 hours. For full 24/7 use, you need a better diaper you can trust won't leak. I personally recommend either Betterdry/Crinklz or the USA Megamax/Pack Pals. AND, while out and about I highly recommend you add a PUL diaper cover. The Gary Activewear or Northshore Trifecta are both great. Wear them with the nylon inside and it will re-absord a small leak. Containing it and helping you to notice the leak before it becomes outwardly noticable.

Week 3+4: One month!   Hi everyone!! Sorry for skipping Week 3, I've been quite busy and just couldn't find the time to write out this update, but I'm finally here! It has been an interesting couple of weeks, and I'm proud to say I finally wrapped up my first month in diapers! First of many to come! The most important change I've noticed is the complete lack of any remorse, settling in at around the middle of Week 3, where now I don't question or second-guess my new lifestyle, I just accept it and keep on going. Being diapered is now more of a "new normal" as compared to a novelty - of course I'm still adapting and learning, and I'm only one month in, but I think I've already settled in quite nicely. The novelty hasn't completely worn off yet, but it's certainly less than the first days.   I've tried doing a "no-diapers day", which was more like 12 hours (of which 8 were spent sleeping), to see how I would like it (and also to give my skin a bit of rest, as a diaper rash was starting to form), and I almost peed myself again. Like last time, I leaked mindlessly thinking I had protection on, only to realize there wasn't any, much to my both dismay and amusement. I'd say accidents would be quite easier as compared to Day 1, I would probably get desperate in slightly less time.   On the "easiness to leak" side, it's surely getting way easier to just let go in my diapy when I feel the need to do it. I'm experiencing way less the "trying to pee but nothing comes out" I had during the first 2 weeks, and the only two ways I currently still have that is if I'm either actively walking, or driving. I'm actually exercising both actively! For now, I both start the flow by standing still, and then start walking trying to leave my bladder completely open, and when driving I take advantage of red lights and busy intersections. I'm seeing some improvements, but overall I'd say these two are the two areas where I'm still completely new.   Peeing and leaking whilst sitting and standing, even with people near me, has become quite easy at this point. I no longer mind that much, especially cause I understood that even if I know what's happening, it doesn't mean others do. The only thing that's still quite bothersome is the leaks: these diapers just aren't made for people that depend on them. I will switch to Tena Slip Maxi from next month, as I'm quite fed up of worrying about leaks. I've heard they're pretty good, even though I'll have to go through a few hurdles to get them, as I don't really know how discreet their shipping is. If y'all have a favorite brand or tips regarding that, I'm all ears. My objective at this point is reaching OAB, where my bladder is both small and overactive, and my brain isn't used to interpreting "bladder fullness" signals anymore, so going out without a diaper can lead to unexpected accidents, leaks and an uncomfortable experience. I still have a long way to go, but that's the ultimate goal.     Now, the stats! Total of diapers used until now: 60 Total diapered time: 23 days, 5 hours Average changes per day: 2.5 Amt. of diaper leaks: 18 (30%)   As always, let me know what you think, write any advice or about your journey <3!

I mentioned above the need to have enough protection on overnight to not worry- I didn't explain why my needs changed quickly a while ago.  I will say now that I have had occasional bedwetting issues for years now, but that changed almost 2 years ago now when I had most of my prostrate removed during surgery to increase my flow, and more important reduce my PSA values What it did was put me into day time diapers for about 6mos and change my nighttime issues form occasional to expected and from a light wetter to a heavy wetter, several times nightly.  While my day time issues have gotten much better, and I have gained back bladder capacity, this full bladder capacity  does not translate to night time control, as when sleeping, I don't get the same indications I do during the day, so when my bladder empty's, its a larger volume to manage.  Earlier this summer, I had some back issues, and had to sleep in a recliner overnight.   I was able to wear overnight pullups as I was up multiple times due to soreness and had to stretch, so could use the bathroom as well.  My wife thought that this was a sign that I could continue with this level of protection when returning to bed, but I had to explain that would not work unless I was up several times overnight like when I was on the recliner.   Bottom line, if I want to get a good nights sleep without disruption, it is vital that I prepare for sleep with adequate protection, or my bed will be wet for sure in the morning.   If not securely protected,  I will not be well rested as will be awaken and up several times overnight.  Simple choice, sleep well with good protection, or have a restless night with plans to be up several times, no sound sleeping at all!
