I’m fairly close to having the components and their connection figured out and on a breadboard to play with the thing.  I clearly do not have the knowledge of those of you who have completed this device and much of the experience I have with building electronic gadgets is dated. Regarding other concerns, and coming only as a comment for what it’s worth and not a request, suppose the collar were eliminated and replaced by a buzzer, or an LED, or other harmless device? Now some might then want to replace that buzzer with a different device on their own……. Just a thought. As best I can tell, the wearable bladder sensors from Tena and DFree are not available.  The apps are available as I have one installed on my iPhone.  I’ve contacted the manufacturers with no response.  Perhaps they don’t work or ran into some sort of medical device licensing issue?  From my own case as a kid, my parents would have slapped one of those on me the day it became available.  The idea of an alarm going off at a user determined level of bladder fullness so the kid could get up and use the toilet rather than wetting the bed would have been too great to pass up.  Fortunately, such was not available for me. On the other hand, with Pampers 7 and 8 now available not to mentioned Goodnites XXL for kids up to 165 pounds, maybe it’s easier to just buy the disposable diapers and otherwise ignore the whole issue?  Sheesh, I’m only 10 pounds over the advertised maximum weight for Goodnites XXL, although the absorbency would only hold at best one wetting so they would be useless for me. Peace.  

The trailer has a bit of a Blair Witch feel to it. Interesting story device for getting the protagonist into a nursery... "It puts the diaper cream in the basket..." 

I'm sorry to hear about your issue. I know that prolonged wearing can damage sperm, but I'm not so sure it can destroy them. The fact there was only one dead sperm in there makes me think it's more of a problem with the production rather than the diaper and warmth damaging/killing them. I'm not a doctor though, so take what I say with a heaping of salt.

Here I am, at the cusp of another weekend, and within a month of being 7 full years in diapers, 24/7. I should have built a spreadsheet, when I did my math, ages ago, trying to calculate when this stretch in diapers will eclipse my first time around, ages zero to ten and a half. I think the math went something like, 3 full years, plus an average of 0.5 years for the next 7.5, totaling 6.75 years, which means that, from a cumulative time perspective, I've done it - I've put myself back in diapers for longer than circumstances, including being born, had put me in them, previously. That was easy- I think the calculous last time might have been more around how many diapers I'd used, then versus now. I'll have to dig it up.  I'll have to wait until September, 2029, to surpass that period in actual calendar years. It's a bit of a "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin" question, anyway. My wheelie bin, weighed down by almost two weeks worth of diapers, is more concrete. I've been conducting exit polls on which products are dominating the landscape right now, and I have been largely adhering to my mandate, to wear larger products. The Mega Inspire+ comes in first, for sure, followed by the BeDry Night, and then the BeDry, and then Mermaid Tales & Critter Cabooses in about equal measure, and then a (new version) Lil' Monster, and a couple of throw-away ATN's filling in gaps where I didn't want to waste a decent diaper on a short mission. I'm in an old version of a Lil' Monster right now, which is a medium-duty product, probably worth about 0.7 of a BeDry (the regular, "day" version), or about 3 X ATN's... I'm anticipating heading out later, and eventually meeting up with a friend or friends at a pub, so I'll want to start fresh for that mission, probably in a BeDry, that I will then swap at bedtime.  I've been on here all week, sprinkling likes and comments in, but I hadn't updated this thread, because the profile view wasn't working for a bit, meaning I'd have had to remember where I parked it, but also because nothing of interest has really occurred. I've booked some business travel for later in March, which I'll undertake in a car, so logistically, it will be easy - I can bring a separate bag for diapers. Some of it will be jeans-wearing, on-site kind of work, and I can wear almost whatever I want for those occasions. For the boardroom interludes, I'll have to go with something lighter - I haven't lost enough weight to make my current crop of dressy clothes work over top of "real" diapers, so I'll probably go with Tena's or ATN's and just change them right afterwards. I will test-drive an Active Air under those clothes, and see if I can get away with it - that would be a more robust solution. I had a repeat of a humorous conversation, last night, that has occurred before - I got home from helping a friend with a small plumbing repair, right at the same time as my daughter got home from her activity. On a sidenote, I did wear a onesie for that mission - I've experienced wardrobe failures while squatting to mess around with plumbing before, and this friend is not in the "circle of trust", as far as I know. My daughter and I both headed up to the master bedroom, as she prefers our shower stall to hers. When she realized that our courses were converging, she said, "Are you using your bathroom, dad? Because I really want to shower. And, let's face it, you're not in any hurry..."  I shrugged. She had a point, one that my wife has used, to claim bathroom access priority, many times over the last seven years. "Yeah, I can wait..." 

Hoping for a new chapter !!! Showing him shopping with mommy
