round one was unsuccessful. While the noise was severely cut down, after two wettings a leak occurred....I guess the pants were too tight!

As a 24/7 wearer and user, I am quite accustomed to wearing at work. But, the new megamax diapers, my daily go to, are very noisy. Especially considering I work in a school where the environment can be quiet. The solution was plastic pants. Handles the sound quite well but adds to the bulk and overall heat. But, I guess this will be the new norm for work.

Purchased three pairs of pants today....made sure to be a bit wet before trying them on to see how they would look. Left with the pants, but worried that I wasn't wet enough to determine for certain. Humbling.

Agreed. It was over two years for me until bedwetting became relatively standard.

Wearing nothing but a pull-up to bed would fill me with dread!

Great! I remember how incredible it was when I transitioned to bedwetting.

For me, totally depends on the weather. In the winter, pajamas with my diaper underneath. In the summer, just a diaper.

So @Reddy, you've been fully incontinent for a while now (jealous). Any regrets? How does it feel? Do you find it hard to believe still?

I shall throw in my two cents as well. 1. General info. I have been diapered for two years, eight months and one day. I no longer own underwear. 2 How do you define incontinence? My incontinence is PMD and bedwetting. I define it as any involuntary of material. During the day, I am functionally continent, dribbling aside. I have dealt with that for years before putting myself in diapers. I imagine it's worse now. I have created a situation of needing to urinate more frequently. I used to go hours without peeing. I now wet basically every 45 minutes to an hour, which would be uncomfortable if I held it. I know when it's happening, but often forget once it's done resulting in not realizing how wet I am when I change, but aware of the event when it happens. Every night is basically a wet event. 3 Functional status. I am confident I could go a day without worry. A night is no longer possible. 4. How much or little do you go out of your way to hide your diaper usage? I don't hide it, but I don't leave them out in the open. My diapers are in my underwear drawer with extra stock in my closet. 5. Medical. I always go to a medical appointment in a pullup. I have also gone fully diapered for one appointment where I thought I would not have to undo my pants and was incorrect. Nothing was mentioned about my diaper. I have started to put incontinence on various medical records. 6. Nighttime status? I have a wet night 6-7 nights per week where I go to bed dry and wake wet. 7. Bowel stuff. I rarely, but occasionally use my diaper for bowel releases. 8. What’s your daily diaper routine (pun intended)? I wear megamax during days and abena at night. I powder liberally for daytime. I shave or wax my pubic area, however due to severe ingrown hairs, I have been advised by my dermatologist to let it grow out to fix the issue. Trash is a hassle. One or two diapers go in my regular garbage, but a larger amount goes in a public dumpster when I am out and about. whew!

I do have to say, the UI surgery has appeal...I mean, I'm 24/7 anyway.....my iron tight bladder is already a thing of the past....

As a DL only, I use a white megamax for days and abena at night. I do love a wetness indicator, however.

I guess I'm the opposite end of the spectrum from you... I embraced diapers out of desire, and as I have transitioned to the beginning stages of incontinence, it has been easy to embrace them for need.

I have an (accidentally purchased by my parents) waterproof mattress cover underneath my sheets and I have a pee pad under my body.....although that always winds up someplace else as i move during the night.

lol. Looking back it’s weird to see that I made this post two and a half years ago.
