Ah yes, the feat of strength Well, it's been about five or six months since I last attempted it, and I'd have to buy some undies for that attempt again. Going without diapers during that attempt was not fun, it definitely was racing to the bathroom so very often. But If I did attempt it again, the one thing I didn't really test was just how long I could go by ignoring the pain. Pretty much I felt like my bum was glued to the potty that day. I went as soon as I felt the need, which was practically all the time I quickly went. Honestly by the end of the test, I was happy to be back in diapers after my bath. Way less mentally taxing and exhausting. If I were to test it again, I guess I would just test the length of time I could push past the pain / warning. I do sort of wonder if there would be a limit , and to what extent. I definitely don't feel I'd do well trying to feat of strength out and about away from a toilet very close by. I'm not really in a rush to committing to a second attempt just yet, but as I'm now closer to my 3rd year of 24/7 I will probably go for a second test closer to my fourth year. I'm positive my body is still adapting and changing, but it's so hard to truly know what's going on internally without medical testing which I don't really intend to discuss with a doctor or urologist at this point. Honestly the thought of even admitting to a doctor that, yes for the last 3 years I've been using my pants for my potty doesn't sound like a fun experience or one that would read well in a medical entry for life. I may have to one day, but so far I've done my best to avoid my doctor knowing about that.

I'm content, and I feel if that was a fear I'd never have stepped back into dips permanently in the first place. I already "mess" 2-3 times a day, if it where to go beyond that, I'd probably adjust my diet a bit Believe it or not a monthly supply of disposable dips adds up so I'd like to keep it to a maximum of 4-5 a day. (normally around 4) But no, there are no fears. Thanks Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Hey DD!! I hope everyone is having a super wonderful week, time keeps flying by and i'm excited for a relaxing weekend. Today would be my 2nd year 7th month, and 10th day or 953 days of being padded. Ever so closer to my third year! As the time continues ever forward, I find myself writing this after changing out of a very soaked dip having just come home from a fun day at the office for a few in person vendor meetings. This morning though was a bit less fun, having to change from a messy dip at work as quick as possible before the meetings started. While i'm thankful to be a 99% remote employee, it does not spare me from various onsite meetings or projects at offices / data centers but I'd rate myself a professional ninja diaper changer and glad to have private bathrooms when needed. Makes changing much much easier! Life keeps moving forward and my body keeps changing little by little from what I can tell, even if it's subtle, it has added up to a life of constant leakiness and very sudden wetting/messing signals if at all. It's hard to really describe what has changed as things are subjective, but I do feel something internally has taken a hit when i'm leaking in between changes or laying down feeling my bottom growing warmer with no sense of needing to wet at all. Messing still is not at a state where I'd describe a complete loss of control. The warnings signs grow even shorter or more subtle/noticeable. Mentally I feel i've crossed a threshold where I'm feeling more on autopilot and dont give much thought to messing, there isn't a loud alarm or something trying to tell me HEY YOU'RE ABOUT TO POO! more just a very quiet subtle "oh I have to to go, so go." While my body is already relaxed and ready to let go. The warning is subtle, the feeling is becoming more automatic, and while I still feel I could stop it if truly wanted too, I've yet to actually test it. It's more just I have to put little effort into relaxing like I used to way back when i first started. Take this morning for instance, I found myself needing to mess after having just gotten out of the car at work. I found myself letting go and instead of heading to the office, instead heading to change first. I'm unsure what will happen in the future, but if this was as close to "incontinence" I could achieve without surgical intervention, I'm happy. I wish it wasn't an odd request to have scans or something performed, or just ways to see just how different my muscles have adapted / changed / weakened over time without going to a doctor or having something on my medical record. It just would be a neat to see for my own sake just to learn how much has changed without giving subjective writing. Anyway I hope everyone has a wonderful month ahead, and that you all have a great weekend. If you have any questions please let me know as I sometimes just don't know what to write. You're all loved ❤️

Thank you for your kind comments, you're definitely not alone. I never expected to inspire anyone, but just document my padded journey for anyone who was curious. It's humbling that I can help in some way.

I'm not sure on this one, there have been close calls a few times in the last 2 1/2 years, and while I've done my best to try and remain private, it could be possible somebody in my social circles knows. If they do, they have not said anything. It's definitely something I originally was like, eventually when I'm xyz, I might tell people.. Now that I'm getting closer or have achieved xyz I keep extending the goal line. I just wish diapers were not socially stigmatized so much, it's just a fear that people would take it the wrong way, or feel i'm crazy for not wanting to rush into surgery to correct the issue sort of thing. It definitely is a nuisance at times, especially with others who do not know your secrets. Or when you're stuck in the office and needing to change etc. Do I regret my decisions or have I thought about re-potty training? No. I still love who I am, and I'm happy I've been able to come this far Diapers are something I enjoy, I don't see that ever changing. If I had the opportunity to go back to pre 24/7 Becca days, I still would not change anything aside from starting sooner if I could. I'd rather document everything though, and my feelings on different subjects for readers who may consider this lifestyle for themselves. There are definitely pros & cons with everything.

Hey DD! Hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the week! Today would be my 2nd year, 5th month, and 5th day of 24/7 diaper dependency! Close to halfway to my third year of the rest of my life padded! Since my last update I've had one experience that was very new, and the rest feels pretty same samey. Sometime last month I started changing in the bathroom after drying first the shower. I'm definitely become a very dribbly faucet and it's a lot easier then having to wipe up the floor along the hallway after getting cleaned up. A few weeks ago I treated myself to getting a balayage, and the 6ish hours for coloring were only possible thanks to Northshore. By the time I finally was able to leave and getting to my car I realized just how soaked my diaper was. Thankfully the plastic pants helped, but the diaper was to it's tipping point. I barely even drank anything while there 😕 But I'm just glad nothing messy related happened. ~ Messy Warning ~ Sometime between the last update and this one, I had a single uncontrolled messy experience that left me a little stunned. More just that I didn't actually know what was happening until it was out of me. Got out of my chair and felt a plop. 😐 While cleaning up, I tried to think about what warning or feelings I had, and aside from being focused on work I for the life of me couldn't think of a single warning I usually at least feel something. This time, on the other hand it just was over before I felt anything at all. Messing is definitely becoming easier every day, sometimes I find myself needing to mess while I'm still nomming on lunch. I'd say the biggest changes are just how instinctual ? they feel? I'm find myself just helping things along and back to whatever it is I'm doing. I have very little though put into it now adays compared to when I first started so long ago. Having to change in public with friends is getting to be a nuisance, and while I still have not told them, It's getting harder to change / bring supplies in some situations. Honestly while I've done my best to keep it private, I do see the benefit in maybe telling my closest friends soon, though obviously not "hey i'm abdl xyz".. I just don't really know how to tell them without lying / having them become incredibly concerned. And I kinda enjoy keeping it a secret without being branded forever. 😶 Life is still moving forward Still happily taking one day at a time, still getting out there and enjoying life. If you have any questions let me know, I hope everyone is well!

Hey DD! I hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving & Christmas Season! So close to new years I figured I'd pop in an write an update since it's been a while. Today would make it 2 years, 3 months, and 18 days since first starting the whole 24/7 diapered life that is now my normal reality. Holidays are a little stressful when you're diapered, especially as you truly start experiencing incontinence. Being around so many extended family members & friends it's hard to find opportune moments to change. Also you find yourself hoping the body doesn't decide to bless you at the worst/most inopportune moment to remind you about said incontinence. Let's see, it's been exactly 50 days since I last made an update, so what's changed since then? Near early December I had woken up to my alarm and started to get out of bed to get ready for my morning routine before starting work for the day. As I sat up however, I realized I had messed sometime in my sleep. Not trying to be graphic, but I was utterly shocked that sometime during the night my body had decided it was a good time to just let things happen. I don't recall waking up at all, and I couldn't think of anything that I had done differently the day before. So far it's only happened once, but I am noticing that I guess I feel a little looser back there then I used too. Messing hasn't really been an issue with diet but I definitely feel myself passing gas a lot more commonly. >.> I've been very used to just going when the need has hit, but even around others during the holidays I found myself not really moving away or having the time to do much more then stand for a moment and leave immediately to clean up after. Does this mean there are more changes happening or has that small part of my brain stopped caring so much? I dunno. Still in stealth-ninja bab mode in front of others, I highly suggest a good pair of plastic pants to anyone who goes down the same path. The last thing you'd want is for others to know immediately by their nose. Thankfully nobody has yet to be the wiser. I hope to keep it that way if I can. As for Wetting changes, it's very hard to judge if anything has changed, I've been leaking urine for who knows how long now. It's pretty much the norm to find my diaper soaked and changing after. I definitely have to be very careful about getting out of a diaper and moving from the bathroom to the room after a bath or shower. I've dribbled down my thighs multiple times during random changes. It's hard to judge if anything else can even change. When I do feel myself peeing, I have tried to stop it just to see if I could, and it's quite impossible to do much there to stop anything. Trying to remember exactly what to do is the hard part, then ordering my body to in the moment doesn't seem to do much. Anyway that's my update I hope everyone has a Happy New Years! And if you are the person who makes goals for yourself, then I hope you keep them and are blessed in doing so!

Hey DD, how is everyone doing? I took a small break from posting and wanted to give my next update to my padded 24/7 journey. Lets see, today would make it 2 years, 1 month, and 17 days since I started Life definitely seems to be moving forward in the last 47 odd days since I last made an update. I've had new life experiences & events, and work has been incredibly stressful with some new management changes. This little bab has been working & studying for a new certificate I'd like to achieve. And honestly one of the reasons I've been slow to post was because I've been so focused on work projects & studying afterwards. Less play time, more adult time . That being said, the one thing that definitely reminds me of my infantile decisions is definitely the constant wet & messy episodes on a daily basis. I also was able to hang out with a wonderful guy I met on DD, and it was a very great experience Definitely had fun there! Aside from being a little nervous at first, I feel we both had a great time! Will I do this with everyone? I doubt it, but it was a very fun experience. I'm just a bit nervous about always meeting random people and sharing a secret that the general world population would frown upon /not understand. Alright, so lets go onto the diaper journey updates. I'll be honest to say what really has changed if anything below, but I will say I've experienced some very sudden intense wetting episodes that definitely reminded me of this incontinence/diaper training. I'll explain below why I'm still using the diaper training instead of just incontinence. Messing, has really not changed either since my last update.. Now lets me tell you about Becca's "feat of strength" , and the one day trail I committed to. After 2 years, 1 month, and 17 days I decided to purchase a very cheap panty pack while grocery shopping and see just what sort of control I had over everything down below. On Sunday, I had a pretty free day and after cleaning out of a messy dip & showering in the morning I went for the "big girl" clothing to go about the day doing some chores around the house & cleaning. I continued to drink water & some tea through the day, and made no changes to my normal routines with food/drinks. This was going to be my first time in a long time trying to see what's left of my potty training. From the moment I slipped up my "big girl" undies & the rest of my comfy clothes, I felt very very naked. It just felt plain weird and while my clothes certainly probably fit a bit better without my snug padding. Emotionally & Mentally I was pretty nervous and just felt like maybe this wasn't the right choice. Pushing those thoughts & feelings aside I continued on cleaning. Did I experience immediate leaks & messy episodes for the day? Had I ruined my clothes & my newly purchased big girl undies? Had I ruined my chair or sofa by sitting down to eat? well..... This is where I want to still use the term "diaper training" from above.. For whatever reason, even after all this time my body definitely still remembered what "holding" it was. While I didn't count how many times I actually had to go, I'd say I REALLY like REALLY had to pee, about every 15 to 25 minutes. My body/brain definitely was warning me again. Something I've not consciously thought about in so very long, something so now automatic.. It was like I had never worn diapers, though it was also quite obvious I never ever had to constantly be near a potty to pee this much in my life. I had some leakage getting up off the potty as well that I certainly couldn't stop, so there is that, but it wasn't gigantic. Messing, was also the same. I had the incredible urgency & sudden needing to go, but I was able to make it to the potty to well take care of it. I never pushed myself to hold it, and honestly the intense like "omg I have to pee right now!!" I'm pretty sure if I did try to hold it any longer I would of leaked. For the entire day, I spent hovering near the potty & having to go constantly. Relaxing, was no fun either, because I'd be sitting there constantly worrying I'd leak somehow. When it was closer to about 6pm I went for a bath. My first big girl undies in 2 years were stained yes, but it wasn't as bad as I believed it would be. After my bath, back to diapers I went, and like a light switch, my brain/body went right back to endlessly letting go without a thought in the world. Woke up wet, The next morning / day it was back to uncontrolled wettings & immediate urges to mess / release. This my friends is why I used the term "diaper training" above. As I'm not really sure at this point if I can call what I have genuine incontinence at all. More just i'm fully trained to use a diaper anytime I'm wearing one. Mentally I feel way better, and relaxed/normal in one too! But I certainly didn't end up completely incontinent (yet). If it's even possible? I don't know? Maybe just more time? maybe I need to accept that this is incontinence but I'm acting like it's not? I'd definitely love to hear others opinions on this. For my own mental sake though, I for the life of me would not want to be glued to a potty every 20 to 30 minutes and I doubt if I was working in the office that would be acceptable either. But does that mean I could retrain? If so what would that look like? Where is the preverbal cliff that I thought I had gone off the edge? Why wasn't I constantly dripping/letting go without a thought or whim like I do in diapers? How could I suddenly just "not" have any mindless incontinence episodes like I normally do daily? And why did my normal "incontinence" resume as soon as I was padded again. That's why I feel it's "diaper training" rather than incontinence so far. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a silly gal who decided to commit to being padded again. At least I had a really impressive feat of strength! I made it to the potty what felt like 30-40 times in a single day! So that's my journey so far Aside from that I'm just moving forward and studying for my new cert for work that I'm going for! Wish me luck! ------------ Another reader had asked this question and I'd like to answer it. "so what have been your biggest surprises this far. (Poss and Neg). " I guess I'll rephrase this as, "what are some pros and cons you have experienced going 24/7". And you will see the Cons might be a little more than the Pros Pros Freedom to be myself Happiness/Joy from being yourself. Mentally no longer focused on this desire I've had since little age. Freedom from a toilet 😛 go figure. Cons Changing in public, it's not fun. Messing in public & having to clean it up, it's not fun. Not being able to wear some cuter clothing because a diaper would be obvious Having to shop for clothing that will fully hide your dip/plastic pants.. I feel this is easier for guys then it is us ladies. Not being able to go anywhere without ample changes Traveling for work, make sure you have a suit case just for changes Planning days/nights and events with friends around having said changes. Sudden messes right after you cleaned up and were just about to leave the house. Sudden messes in the car, as you're driving to work / go see family / friends.. Yeah fun to deal with. Forgetting how long you have been in a diaper before changing and finding your diaper is about to burst. pinholes in diapers Constantly having to keep yourself ultra clean so you don't have the scent of a bathroom Infront of others Being around family who have kids in diapers, and smelling foul smells. Worrying that you had the accident when they begin checking their kiddos to see who it was. Adjusting your diet to plan for going out to an event.. Would hate to have something greasy / junk food the night before and have horrid accidents out and about.. Way easier to clean when you eat clean . Having to constantly make sure you have diapers always. The cost of wearing diapers, and if you were to be in a position if you could not afford them, the pain of "retraining". Trash / Cleaning of the home to make sure it stays "stink free". Especially if you have guests over. Cleaning up leaks.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments Glad others do enjoy reading an update even if there is not a whole lot going on in the month. I've spoken about this in previous posts, and while every person has a different body shape & size, I have found that my two favorite brands are - Garywear active brief & Northshore trifecta. Both are great depending on what you're wearing & have helped me keep in smells No leaks to ever really speak of, but I dribble & have very tiny streams not a soaker type of person when it comes to wetting. I will use this question in my next update to expand on That's something I could talk about in more detail and gives me time to think more about it. Thanks for the question.

Hey DD! I made it to my second year Time really flies huh? While it doesn't really feel like the whole "just yesterday I was sorta moment", in fact it's more like I'm struggling to remember to remember what it felt like before being in a near constant soggy state of diapers.. Things down there definitely work far differently from where I first started. Though I wouldn't go to the extreme of saying it's 100% total loss either. I can remember well before starting having read things like the 24/7 un-potty training guide that I guess "paved" the idea / provided a path some of us walked down to get started, though for it's accuracy I'm unsure. I feel I still have limited control of both bladder & bowel control and I wouldn't say my experiences all happened in the first year either or even early through the second year. I'm still slowly experiencing body changes & I feel that before anyone can really have any progress you need to truly have acceptance on your new state.. How ever long that takes you is a personal matter, but once you're over that hill & the perception of yourself is slowly changed to the padded reality only then will you start to see major changes. Physical ones I'm sure slowly come after that and time... Wetting has become a constant state down there, and sometimes I feel warm dribbles here or there, or a small unexpected stream. Other times It's when I'm stepping in our out of the bath or shower and moving towards my changing area that I notice the little dribbles running down my legs.. I know when I sneeze or get into a coughing fit I've found myself both wetting and having some very uncontrolled small toots.. 🙃 Such is life. Other days there are moments when I find my bladder dying to release and for some reason I'm struggling to remember for the life of me how to relax.. Only for a few moments later a very small stream to come out.. When I first started wearing 24/7, I made it a goal to start eating more cleanly and to keep a healthy diet, although some days / times I've broken this especially with parties and holidays I've tried my best to keep a good diet with healthy fiber , carbs, fats and some small protein. It's not the perfect diet but it definitely helped with my messing habits especially early on. I will say now, I can expect two-four messes in a day with the average of about two to three. They all come very unexpectedly and it's a moments notice before I'm feeling the sudden urge and letting myself relax. What does come out is not very large & it's been a pretty quick clean up and on my way.. When at home or in private I know it's more reflexive than anything, I do get a warning still but I'm not really paying much mind and it's out in moments.. I wouldn't say that it's totally out of my control though, and it's only been a few rare moments when it's omg it's coming out wtf I didn't realize sort of thing.. I'd say I'm nearly always fully aware I am / about to need to mess. I don't know if that will change. I hope the above answers how messing feels, but in "social situations" such as when I have to attend an in office meetings, or with friends / in public I know my body still reacts pretty close to how it is at home. I feel the need and it's a habit to just let go, but I do try very much to clean asap & not stay in a situation that would cause others to really be aware or "smell/see" anything.. In public I wear very comfy plastic pants & I've never had a complaint of smelling like a potty.. I do my best to keep myself VERY clean & practice good skin healthcare.. Bathing, Washing, Barrier Creams, and never staying in a dirty dip too long. I would hope others have the same mindset on this Last thing I'd want is to push my ab/dl onto others, or my newfound incontinence after all this time. I'm sure unexpected things will happen more and more in the future, but if you plan well & bring changes with you. It's pretty easy to manage. ------ So yeah... 2 years Still unsure how to "celebrate" it's been a pretty hectic week in real life.. And we're finally getting the tiny bit of rain we desperately need in Texas. Seriously, wearing plastic pants in 100 degree weather is not fun, even with a dress or skirt.. My Questions for readers who care to comment - Do I keep updating this journal? Should I slow down from monthly to every couple of months? I'm not really sure what I can contribute that isn't just a repeat of more of the same unless there are some MAJOR changes.. It's just a very slow progression and it all really just feels same samey.. I've tried my best to document everything but it's hard sometimes when everything feels more of the same. It's just slow and I have yet to have anything really "new" to report in the last few months.

Very much so, do not see that ever changing. 🙃 Thanks! As for things I'd like/want I'm not really sure what I'll do to celebrate my 2nd year anniversary. Maybe a new little outfit or some abus instead of the standard northshore. 😛

Hey DD! Today is my 23rd month & 6h day into being in diapers. So close to year 2.. What should I do to celebrate I wonder? Honestly, while again I don't have too much that I can add, there was two instances this month that made me pretty self aware of how much I've come to have changed over the last two years. Earlier in the month I had a get together with friends and family, and we spent close to 6 or 7 ish hours together enjoying a day at home with some good noms and company. While I'm not self anxious about my padded disposition anymore, I found it a little fascinating at how infrequent anybody seemed to need to use the potty. I know we all had great food and drinks but I don't genuinely recall anyone needing to go.. at all.. Meanwhile I'm in a soaked dip, and by the end of the day my megamax definitely needed a very well deserved change.. I guess it made me reflect just how much my body has gotten used to going.. Trying to think back now before I started wearing diapers permanently I can't seem to remember just how long I used to hold it for. Crazy how much a body can change. Yesterday I had to attend an office function for a few hours and we had a four odd hour meeting together, and halfway through the meeting I could feel myself dripping and the tell tale warmth. Again made me think about how for others four hours isn't really that long.. But for me on the other hand 😕 I couldn't imagine just how long I'd even be able to if I was trying. Definitely nowhere close anyway.. So yeah, again nothing HUGE, more just a self realization & reminder of just how far I've come.. Will see what happens in the future! Sorry for a small update Just not a terrible amount of "new" things.. If you do have any questions as always I'll do my best to answer them.

Hey onzl! I hope you're doing well, and just wanted to also mention that I appreciate your funny banter & writings in your own 24/7 journal! It's been a fun read and one that I can appreciate your own insights on. For myself, I find it wonderful that there are like minded individuals with similar goals/desires around incontinence & 24/7 use. I know from my own experience I've read plenty of guides & written experiences even when I was in my mid teens. I guess the older ones like the 12 month guide etc had given me fanciful machinations & daydreams a lot growing up that never really ever left. I prefaced with the above because all the journals, blogs, guides and what have you all seem to have wildly different experiences in how quickly or how long things took to progress. It becomes hard/easier to separate true accounts of others, to what are heavily veiled kink fluff that is pretty unreasonable to assume xyz will happen by xyz time if at all. Then to top it off, everyone has their own genetic/biological/physiological differences. Somewhere after first starting to where I am now, I stopped really caring to compare or worrying really about my new found diaper dependence/continence ability. And Mentally I made peace that for myself, this is who I am, and I know I'll be diaper bound until my time on this planet is done. Early on I was so focused & curious on if any changes were happening, or if I was feeling xyz in my diapers that it became a headache & nuisance. I feel that eventually once I stopped so strongly focusing if something is happening below that my progress really kicked off more. If that makes sense? Time has really dulled the sense as well, it becomes so monotonous as I'm sure you also are fully aware one. It's to the point where It becomes hard at least for myself to really write much on what's happened in a month for me that would be "new" unless it's something major. To your question, I feel that long term use could be a little of both and eventual leading to more genuine lack of control. How long that takes is very different for everyone, and trying to judge our own progress by others is probably not the best decision at least for my own sake. There are times where I still consciously wet/brain says hey & I immediately let go, for nothing but a tiny amount to come out. (Does this mean my bladder has genuinely shrunk or just a trained habit I wonder?) Other times when my body is demanding I pee I struggle to remember what to actually do down there to let something out.. (Is this mental or a physical change?) But then there are other times I've gotten in a fresh diaper, and found myself soaked none the wiser when I actually did any of it. Even just sitting for less than an hour while working, I decide to do a finger test and come to find i'm pretty damp. I've also found myself having urine running down my thighs or on the floor when getting into the bath/shower or changing and been none the wiser that I was doing it. Or getting into bed, freshly diapered and feeling the seat of my diaper getting warm & feeling myself wetting but not initiating it. I've not once waken up dry since starting 24/7, having already self trained myself to wet the bed before committing to this new chapter in my life. Is that a physical change or one that's contributed to anything of the above? Messing has been so varied, but I know that it's finally at a point where I have such little warning that the thought of ever retraining would be a nightmare and plenty of dirty undies. No thank you! Is that a physical change, or a mental change? Why do some people progress so vastly differently? How much of that has to do with their body or their mental attitude towards things? I wish there was a way to to print out a diagnostic internal health checkup on ourselves but alas we're humans 1.0. Maybe in the future? So for now it's subjective unless I opt to finally go see a urologist and having something written down permanently on my files.. Save that for another year.. maybe.. Anyway sorry if this was a little long, or if it doesn't answer your question fully. I guess for myself I just don't know >.>

Hey Love, I feel your epiphany is pretty much everything I've been doing since I first started. It's been a lot easier because I work from home when I first started. But even out and about, or at the office, public etc if I feel a need I go! I would very much suggest buying a quality brand dip & plastic pants. They really do a great job of keeping in everything, including smells. Keep yourself clean with barrier cream and over time it will definitely become so easy to the point you're not really thinking about it. It's worked for me so far, but I'd still say that It's not instantaneous even for myself. Sometimes it's sudden, sometimes I still get a small window of warning. Either way I know it's coming out eventually. I feel anyway, it's a mind balancing game. Like if you know you're protected, you know you wont be smelly, and you get so used to it that your mind really does put it into memory. So try to stop worrying or stressing, just do what you need to do & clean up right after. With the regular BM stuff it's definitely different for everyone, and I'm pretty sure we all have different diets. I love me some good rice, beans, broccoli, pumpkin, cabbage, fish, chicken etc. And I don't very often eat fast food anymore. It's too expensive & I love eating things that I know are good for me. I feel that everything above more than anything is why I've had good progress so far. Just consistent healthy meals & a positive mental fortitude for the messier side of things. You probably will notice overtime, that doing the above you will be messing VERY regularly. I usually find myself in two to four messy diapers a day with an average of about two. >.> Smaller amounts but a lot more frequent. Hope this helps!

Hi DD! 22 months, 6 Days! Getting closer to my 2 year anniversary! I really hope everyone is doing well, and that you all will be blessed with a good month ahead! Can we talk about this heat wave & crazy weather? My goodness, it's been so crazy as of late. Today I went shopping with my sis & I was absolutely not enjoying the weather. Plastic Backed dips are no fun during this heat wave, and I've been as of late just using cloth backed northshore megamaxes to get by. Still using plastic pants, but it definitely is a bit warm, and I'm getting a light rash here or there even with barrier cream daily. No fun! Hoping everyone stays super cool! Very early into the month we had a major power outage from storms and I was without power for nearly a full day. Changing and cleaning up without power during emergencies is also not very fun! 😛 Stuff that I'm learning to better manage as I go on. Got breakfast during that day at a mcdonalds and appreciated a well lit bathroom to clean up yay for adult incontinence wipes! Any changes this month? I'm genuinely not very sure on how much has changed but I will say I'm starting feel more and more a lot of uncontrollable wettings as time goes on. Especially for some reason when I'm laying in bed ready to fall asleep. I'll just suddenly feel the rear of my dip growing` warm & lotsa dripples with non the wiser why or when it started. Still finding myself in super soaked dips & trying to keep a schedule for when to better change. But I'm thankful for very absorbent megamaxes cause they hold quite a lot in! Messing is becoming pretty automatic, I'm finding myself going especially while standing up and realizing I'm messing but the warning that I would normally get just before is starting to fade away even more. Like sometimes I'm not really getting much of a warning, just a feeling like I'm pushing and out comes some messy to clean up. While I don't get on DD all that often, I do like to look at other threads to read all these new journals & I guess I feel a little bewildered by the questions some people have. It feels like a percentage of persons have zero patience. Why are you trying to rush something or push for drastic surgery when you can easily get there like I have by just time and practice? Not judging by any means, but I do want to encourage everyone that if you put on a diapers, and use it 24/7 over time you will see results. Practice makes perfect & trust me, it becomes so engrained and habitual that you will forget when you wet. Half the time I'm wondering did I just pee? I can't remember! 😕 For fun I like to get out of the shower & change into a fresh dip. An hour later I'll check my dip and realize I'm wet. Yay random dribbles that I had no idea where happening! Things are changing! But it's at a slow pace overtime. Hang in there for all you new people that are trying it out! The feeling of a soaked dip becomes so normal that 99% of the time you will not even be paying attention (at least for me) on how soaked you really are! Small little update, but I wanted to share my new progress! Still wouldn't trade my diaper life for anything! Stay padded friends! If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!
