Why We Wear Diapers
Responses to our Wellness Briefs contest on "Why I Wear Diapers"

I wear diaper because they have always provided me security for many different things in life. I have wore them to help relieve stress, to help me feel more comfortable about who I am. and because I feel protected from bad things in life. Diapers have kept me from doing really bad things in life like drugs or getting involved in gangs. The helped me when my grandparents died, They are helping me right now handle going through a divorce. Diapers have always been a constant in my life when everything else got so chaotic that I didn't know what to do. They have always comforted me in times of need.  Diapers are my security

I was a long time bed wetter until I was thirteen or so, and the I grew out of my bedwetting problem. In my teen years I was in a bad car accident at the age of seventeen. One thing to be said was that it was not my fault.  I suffered two herniated discs in my lower back and it worsened with time. I was lucky enough to get a football scholarship to a large University. By the time I was half way into my freshmen year in college I started having more pain in my back due to my athletic choices. This pain worsened quickly and I then started having leg weakness, followed by bladder control issues. So by the time I finished my second semester, I had done enough nerve damage to my spine that I was back in diapers at night and wearing an external catheter during the day. I was young and foolish. Instead of looking for help I just waited, and by the time I looked for help I had done irreversible damage. So I sit here either wearing a diaper or an external catheter to keep my clothes/ bed dry. I can say the road that got me back into diapers was unexpected. But I cannot say that I do not enjoy them. I enjoy the warmth and safety of them. I may not have gone where I intended to go in life, but I think I ended up where I intended to be. Happily married and a father of two children.

I remember when I was young; potty trained the first time, and seeing diapers for the first time. My mom worked as a preschool teacher and had some kids that still wore diapers to school, lucky punks. I was visiting her classroom one day and excused myself to bathroom, where on the shelf over the toilet was a big stack of pampers. I pulled one down and I can still remember the smell and feel of it. I knew there was something special about this soft crinkling diaper I held in my hand. For years after that I always took a trip to the bathroom at her school to reunite with my newly found friend. Over the years I kept an eye out for diapers but never had the chance to have any of my own. I knew my mom would never let me wear them cause they were for babies. She made them sound forbidden and mysterious. That made them special. My heart was pounding out of my chest as paid the clerk for my first big bag of diapers and carried them to my car. Even though it was many years after that first experience in the bathroom, when I opened the package and smelled that familiar sent again, I melted.

The feeling of a thick crinkly diaper between my legs is like crawling into a warm bed, comfy, safe and instantly calming. It doesn’t matter how bad a day I may have been through, a diaper with a bottle of milk washes away all my troubles. Hearing a little crinkle over the bustle of the warehouse, feeling the thick padding when reaching for my wallet, or walking with mommy knowing that we share a special secret reminds me that no matter how hard life gets, I have my diapers and I’m ok. I know that others may never understand my love for diapers, but it’s not for them, it’s for me. It makes me special, and every little boy should know that he’s special. It’s doesn’t hurt that my fiancé/mommy loves the feel of my crinkly padded butt. Happy diapers!

The reason I wear diapers is growing up I have been a life long diaper lover. As far back as I can remember I have been attracted to diapers. As a child I used to get extra diapers from when my mom would baby sit other kids, Once I was old enough to work I would buy diapers with the money I saved. Not having a computer growing up I felt I was the only one like this in the whole world. Then I found through the internet that there were lots of others like me.

About 5 years ago I met my wife and when we were dating I told her about my attraction to wearing diapers. She was accepting of this and life was good. Then about 4 years ago I started having bedwetting issues at night ( I thought it was due to my sleep apnea) and eventually this progressed to having day time issues. This was a difficult period for me as I have never had to wear 24/7 and it really impacted my life. My wife was very supportive through all of this and helped me come to terms with it. I am now accepting of my condition ( Urologists can't figure out what is causing this after 2 years of testing) and I have come to accept that diapers are my new underwear and that is just how it is. I am now finding myself enjoying wearing again.

 I have been wearing diapers as long as I can remember.  When I was younger I had to could only wear vinyl pants.  When I got older I started wearing diapers, and rubber pants. 

I have gone through two wives before I found a lovely women who understands my love of diapers.  We both have pictures on the Daily Diaper Site.  People who do not wear diapers have no idea of the peace and comfort that wearing diapers bring.  It's like stepping back in time.  I think if everyone would wear diapers people would get along much better.  I how can you get angry with anyone while wearing a nice soft comfortable diaper, and a  pair of baby pants.

I am 58 years old, and have reached the point in my life that I don't advertise my wearing diapers, but I make no attempt to hide it.  If people are at our house and they see them, then they see them, I don't worry about it.  If someone happens to notice that I am wearing diapers, then they notice, I  don't give it a second thought.   Better to  be dry then embarrassed.

Thank you for your time,

The reason for why I wear diapers at first was it was like a security blanket for me. At the age of 5 my parents separated and this causes a log of stress on myself. I can remember a few years later wanting to go back to when I was younger when my parents were still together and everything I like seemed perfect. This obviously could not happen so my attachment to diapers started. It wasn't till the age of 12 that I came across my first wearable adult diaper at my neighbor’s house. I ended up taking one home and instantly felt safe and happy. Well after that time has just gone by and no 15 years later I am still wearing diapers as often as possible and I have a loving wife that accepts, understands, and is willing to wear with me. It would be great to win some Wellness briefs! I have ordered them in the past and they are truly a great diaper and currently only have a few left. Just currently at the moment don't have any money to spend as I am currently looking for a new job as my current job won’t be available too much longer. That and with college loan payments and being a newlywed finances are extremely tight. If I were to win some diapers I would be extremely excited, but if I don't I’m glad I could tell my story on why i wear diapers.

Because of a car accident i am Incont and have been wearing diapers since i was 14 years old. I am now 34 at first i was ashamed embarrassed i was so nervous somebody would find out in school and i would be made fun of. I was a late bloomer but when i went through puberty i began to have urges any teenage boy might have and would think about being treated like a baby. To this day i still think about and hope to find a woman who will treat me like the baby i want to be. I was given the option to start using catheters but the risk of infections and and the fact catheters are uncomfortable and are just plain horrible. I would never give up wearing my diapers they are comfortable and even comforting. Now i do not go around telling people i wear diapers because i am Incont i am using them for there intended purpose and it is a private matter. That not everyone wants to hear about. Over the years i have found ways to keep this problem from becoming knowledge of people who do not need to know.

I wear diapers for a fetish... pretty plain and simple. But I think it generates from when I was about 12 years old, my Parents were on vacation, and the Sister of my friend was watching my Sister and I. I was at school, playing tag or something, and didn't want to give up my hiding spot. I ended up having an accident, and sent home from School. For whatever reason, the Babysitter had me go shower, change clothes and instead of underwear, she put me in a diaper. I think that's the moment that affected me.

These days, I love how they look, the feel, the colors and thickness. And to be honest, Wellness, when you open the pack of diapers, has the most INTENSE diaper smell, they smell so good. I tell everyone about the pleasing smell, it just smells like fresh diapers and it's heavenly !! Diapers are important to me for relaxing at home, the soft crinkle when you move, the bulkiness are all constant pleasant reminders, the feel of them on is very erotic. So it all boils down to, I need diapers to bring me back to those times, the early times of my discovery, and it's a personal fetish, it doesn't hurt anyone else. Diapers are absolutely a wonderful experience !!

     Why do I wear adult diapers/ briefs? I wear them because I would rather have to change a diaper than wash sheets, blankets, clothes etc… not to mention being able to avoid the embarrassment of having to apologize to my wife about wetting the bed (at the age of 27). I've been wetting the bed off and on since I was a young kid (around the age of 5). My mom started off making me wear Huggies to be every night, but I grew out of those over time, so, she began to buy Goodnights for me to wear instead. This continued until I was 14….then things kind of sorted themselves out. I still wet the bed a few times a year between the ages of 14-21….until I was deployed to Iraq (Sep 05- May 06). I'm not sure what happened, I know I got an infection while i was over there, but it had an effect on my bladder, and consequently I began wetting the bed again. When the problem came back I was devastated…I mean hell, I was supposed to be a bad ass, gun wielding, soldier… and here I was pissing myself in my sleep. I made it through my deployment without anyone knowing about my problem. When I got home I started buying Depends and, over time, I learned about buying diapers online. I found Abena's and stayed with them for the better part of 4 years until I found out about the Wellness Briefs.

    

     I began purchasing the Wellness briefs right around the time my wife found out about my problem. She actually found out because one of my Abena's had leaked one night so badly that it woke her up…I was so ashamed. We talked about what was going on, and, because she's a nurse she was able to talk be through everything, coax me into going to a doctor and informing the VA, and helped my find a brief that would work through the night.

    

     Since my wife got me into the Wellness briefs things have been great. There are no leaks at night, I am confident that when I go to sleep that when I wake up the bed, my wife and I will all be dry. It also turns out that seeing me in diapers kind of turns my wife on…so I get to have a hot nurse put me in a diaper, we both get turned on and martial things happen….giggidy giggly goo….hahaha. In all seriousness though, having the Wellness briefs is truly a blessing. Without them I'm not sure if I would be able to sleep as comfortably at night; my night time incontinence would not be managed effectively, at least that's what I think.

I wear diapers because I've loved them since I was little. I wear them more for fetish than necessity. I love the sense of comfort, security, and freedom they give me. I don't mess them, but I love the way they feel when I wet them. I'm more of a DL than an AB. Diapers are great for road trips or even trips to town when finding a bathroom can be really inconvenient. I prefer the plastic-backed diapers, not a big fan of the cloth-like covers. In fact Wellness Briefs are probably my favorite. Wearing diapers is my personal little secret, but Id love to find my own AB/DL girl to share my love of diapers with. I love your site and I hope my answer is satisfactory.

Not long after potty training, my mom put a diaper on me. She thought it would be cute. But ever since, I have questioned why I couldn't wear diapers, and what it would be like if I could. Also being the younger of two boys, my mom referred to me as her baby. It wasn't until I was 22 that I went to the store and bought my own diapers, and found what I have been missing. After a long and stressful day of work, I found it relaxing, and relieving. I feel joy in not worrying about trips to the bathroom. I love the comfort and security that I have in a diaper.

      Wearing diapers has positively changed my life. I found out a couple years ago that I was suffering from depression. All of the times that I could have let things get to me, and make me feel, and think the worst, my antidepressant was diapers. I most definitely would be in a worse place if I didn't have them. Every time I put one on my stress disappears.

My grandma put me in diapers at night and she would lock my brother and I in our bed rooms till she got up in the morning. and to keep changing the sheets everyday she put diapers on me.

Now I am hooked on wearing my diapers. At first I didn't have a clue why I like to wear diapers. Now I wear my diaper everyday At fisrt it was just to be wearing them. I have tried many times to give them up and not wear anymore and it would work for a while. Then I would be walking thru a store like CVS and Walgreens and would find myself standing in the isle that had the adult diapers and thinking how good it would feel to have a diaper between my legs. Then before I knew it I was buying a pack of diapers.

Its kind of like when you have a bad day at work you go home and sit down and have a cold beer and it makes you feel better and relaxed. That's the feeling I get when I pull a diaper up between my legs and tape it on myself. The sad part was I hide them from my wife and she had no clue I was wearing diapers when she and the kids would go out for an afternoon on the town. A few years ago I told her about my love for wearing adult diapers and wetting them like you meant for them when you made them. Now my loving wife will diaper me. She changes my diapers when I need them to be changed. It was the best thing I ever did telling Her that I loved to wear diapers. She has been so understanding since I told her about my love of diapers.

I enjoy diapers for both a necessity as well as a comfort. In the job I work in, I sometimes would go about 3 hours in between breaks, with my bladder barely hanging on. They are a practical tool of the modern workplace in my opinion, where on the phone compliance is a must, and no needing to worry about bathroom lines or occupied stalls.

My second reason is one of comfort. In that same modern workplace I am in , the stress just piles and piles up on you. So diapers for me are also a stress relief, like a wearable comfort zone that you can just sink your senses into, and lose yourself for a few hours, escaping those stresses of the workaday world. These are the main reasons I wear diapers and enjoy them. For comfort as well as physical need, there's no better thing indeed!   :)

I currently wear diapers because I wet the bed. More often than not, I wake up soaked, not realizing when my bladder had emptied itself.  So, diapers are required at night. I prefer using premium disposable diapers or overnight cloth diapers to help manage my bed wetting. I have tried many different brands so far, (I have not tried Wellness yet) and have found that SecureCare XPlus and Bambino diapers offer good levels of protection, security, and peace of mind. However, they are not perfect. If Wellness offers more, ie; better fit, more comfort, less leaks, I'll definitely become a repeat customer.

There is another reason for me wearing diapers- the lovely lady who sleeps next to me at night. I would rather not startle her awake at night because she rolled over into the puddle I just made. That's embarrassing.

Diapers have been a funny thing in my life. I grew up accident prone and they always loomed in my future as some odd threat. Ironically, the threat is what made them seem so comforting. They never were a necessity in the essence that I had to wear them 24/7. But they kept me focused on being better  back then. It is probably why I need them so badly now. All the pain and humiliation I associated with the accidents were something that could be symbolized and neutralized with them. While yes, there's the embarrassing tell-tale crinkle that could give my secret out at any second, and the warm fluff between my legs that reminds me of the comfort of simpler times, it has become even more than that. Its become an escape into my vulnerabilities. A path away from the straight and narrow that allows me to embrace the good and the bad of what makes me different.

Diapers have always been a lot more than just something simple, and there is a quality to them that seems intangible. They escalate things and make me feel the way I want to feel in that given moment. When I want to be comforted by them, I can be. When I want to feel like I'm strange and doing something wrong, they can do that for me. When I need to escape from responsibilities they will be there, and when I just need the encouragement to focus and keep going, that's what they do.  The need is there, just as a child may need a parent to comfort or scold them. They've become part of my growth as a person and something I've fallen back to whenever times have been hard.

I have been wearing diapers for no medical reason since i was 12. back then i would sneak away and by toddler size pampers. I am now 49. I do have prostate surgery that makes me need to go more often. blander holds less. i have bladder control, but compromised because of surgery ,put also mental conditioning of willfully diapers. i am not a adult baby. i am a diaper lover. nothing babyish except diaper wearing. i am almost 24/ 7 diapers. i also wear diapers to work. in most cases they last the whole. i also get more done, which helps me make more money-- because of not needing bathrooms. hard to say if buying diapers and making extra income balances out or break even. i pee the day away.  i will also #2 . but not at work. i am a merchandiser . so i visit many stores a day. in the event of a mid day change. i have places that have one person public restrooms. they know of the diapers. i am married. my wife doesnt get involved with my diaper wearing. but just puts with it. thank you for listening.

Well to start I wear diapers at work I drive a truck long distances and bathrooms are not always amiable after so many accidents in the drivers seat my co- driver started making me wear them. He is also my daddy so who can argue I also wear them because I like them the comfort is great I lost my ability to hold my pee three years ago when I went through chemo and it took out my bladder muscle so diapers are a must for me and I will admit I wear them too thanks for your time reading this entry.

When you look at me you see normal- average, vanilla, boring. Whatever you want you call it. But I have a secret: I wear diapers. All kinds!   love to experiment. I am about 120 pounds, so I can wear Goodnights and Underjams as well as adult diapers. Wearing diapers makes me feel special. Like someone is taking care of me (even though they aren't). People think I am so successful- that I get everything I want so easily. But that isn't true. I  have worked hard to get to where I am in life and I deserve most of the credit for it. I wish I didn't. I wish there was someone who could hug me and say "We did this together." But there isn't. It's human nature to seek out comfort. Which is why I wear diapers. They give me that comfort. And NOBODY knows.

I wear diapers at night because I have a problem with bed wetting, thus i wear diapers so my bed stays dry. I take medication for a mood disorder called bipolar. My doctor says he thinks one of the medications( I think the one I was on at the time that was causing problems was lithium ) I was taking caused problems that resulted in me not being able to control my bladder when sleeping. At one point it was effecting me during the day too, but that was before they found out it was the medication and I stopped taking it. For some reason the bed wetting has not gone away even though I don't have problems during the day anymore, so I have to wear them at night.

Even from a very young age after being potty trained, I've desired to wear diapers.  I didn't actually begin wearing adult diapers until I was around 22 yrs or so.  It has always been a well kept secret from all who know me, and none of whom would ever suspect or imagine me doing such a thing!  With a wife and kids, there's rarely an opportunity for some alone time to enjoy my desire, and as such, prior to my most recent opportunity it had been ten months since I've worn any.  My enjoyment in having some personal time just hanging out in a diaper (always at home) is twofold.  Physically, for some reason it's a major turn on.  The feel of how a diaper makes contact with me, crinkles, and seeing photos of women wearing is just awesome.  However, intimacy with my wife is still better no matter what, but when I'm alone this is my preference.  Secondly, the feeling of mental regression that comes with wearing a diaper simply makes me feel at ease, allows me to temporarily escape and forget about all the stresses of life, and I think it's primarily for this reason that I truly love being in diapers.  I've never really experimented with the ab aspect of it, and since I'm always alone in diapers, it's more of a curiosity than anything.  I'm very glad to have discovered dailydiapers.com and see that there are others out there who share my situation, or at least understand my perspective!
