I wake, let it go, then go back to sleep. Wearing to bed is relaxing and comforting for me, just as in the daytime. The added benefit is that I don’t have to get out of bed, especially when I’m comfortable and don’t want to.

Saw these out there under several brand names. Cheap price scared me off a bit. They’re legit?

Looked at InControl. How’s the sizing? Looking at the chart, I’d be a large. Normally, I’m a medium or even a small . 36 chest, 32-33 length.

I’m looking for good, basic, crew neck, T-shirt style onesies. During the day, I need the support that a onesie brings, but want the look of a basic T-shirt. Don’t want to draw any unwanted attention. What have people found like this?

Major toilet paper manufacturer, with their family of cartoon bears, advertises that we can Enjoy The Go! I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that I enjoy the go more! ?

Try an air premium or air supreme from Northshore. Much more breathable. You'll still sweat, but not as much and won't soak your pants.

Dogs, check. Have two.

I'm wearing daily, not necessarily 24/7. Rarely messy.

I'm actually not a fan of the mega max or any diaper with a plastic back sheet. I prefer the Northshore airs. Back sheet material is soft and feels good against the skin. Doesn't make noise either, which is important in some situations.

Northshore air premium is my go-to. Wearing one now, just that and a t-shirt while working from home.

I've recently started wearing to bed as well. First night or two were tough. Hard to believe that such a small change as diaper vs. boxers would make such a big difference, but it does, especially when it comes to sleep routine. Gradually, I'm getting more comfortable and sleeping longer. I'm wearing the same type of diaper every night, which helps develop the routine. I still wake up when it's time to go, but I'm getting used to using my diaper and not minding that it's wet. I do want to keep control, so I won't get to the point of releasing while asleep, but other than that, I'm getting more and more comfortable every day and night.

Smell is not an issue?

What do you use for diaper disposal? Right now, I take them directly outside to the garbage, but that isn't convenient. Considering a diaper pail or similar to use indoors. What's a good brand or option for adult size?

There's just something about letting go while laying on my back and diapered. The feeling is very pleasant as it flows from front to back. I know, not sharing new news for this crowd. ?

I can't have a plastic backed diaper for exercise. Too much sweat!

Hello! I'm Andy. I'm originally from the Midwest, but now reside in the Southeast US. I am a mid-career engineering professional. I have been off and on DL for about 6-8 years now. I've recently jumped back in, more seriously than before. I wear primarily for comfort, relaxation, and stress reduction, though I do find wetting to be, at times, beneficial and convenient. My inventory currently includes Rearz Dinosaurs and North Shore Air Premiums. I plan on getting a few washable products as well. I've recently told my wife of my diaper use and she is very supportive. I am truly blessed. I look forward to conversing with others who are open and accepting of diaper love.

I wore a North shore air premium on my walk this morning. First cool morning of the season. It was very comfortable, totally unnoticeable under my shorts, and worked great when I needed to let my morning coffee go. I was a good distance from home or any public bathroom. When the choice is a diaper or a tree that isn't very private, I'll take the diaper, every time. Thanks for the other suggestions. I'll have to try them.

Good questions, @rusty pins. I too have a desk job, from home during the current situation. That's part of what got me more interested in tabbed diapers over say, pull-ups. I can definitely be more free and not so concerned about unwanted attention. All that said, I do use a standing desk, both in the office and at home. Prior to the at-home option, before the pandemic, I was in an office and wore pull-ups on occasion. Notice I said wore, not used. The pull-up allowed me to use the bathroom as normal, allowing for more discretion. While I've been home, I've had the freedom to wear and use (wet only, I don't soil) pretty much as I please. If or when I go back to an office, pull-ups will again be my go-to during the day. I do live in a warm humid climate, southeast US. I am a fitness walker, doing about 5 miles per day, usually in the early morning hours, pre-dawn or just after, depending on time of year. In the summer months, I do work up a pretty good, soaking, sweat. I have worn lighter weight pull-ups while walking, but never a tabbed diaper. I'm wanting to try an option or two, see if something will work. With the standing desk, the walking, and the handyman/honey-do things that I do around the house, which are many, I'm looking for something that might hold up to all that. Again, thanks for the good, detailed questions.

I'm in a Northshore AirSupreme right now. Gotta say, pretty nice! First foray into a non-retail store diaper. Wow, what a difference!

Hi. New to the forum, but been an on-again, off-again, DL for about 6-8 years. Right now, I'm in a more serious on-again, wearer, phase. I lead an active lifestyle, work, fitness, etc. What is the best tab-style brief, aka diaper, for this type of lifestyle? Many medical diapers advertise for low-activity lifestyles, including the popular NorthShore products. I want a tab-style product for the experience, but don't want it to hinder my other interests. If I can find something that meets most needs, but isn't suitable when exercising, that would be fine. PS - NorthShore impresses me because they seem to be the only mainstream medical provider that acknowledges the AB/DL community. There may be others out there. I might just need to be better educated.
