Just a small update I kind of went back to basics and focused on what happens during a void. I've made slight adjustments to my "open state" and have noticed a big difference. It's still early but I notice a more persistent leak. Kind of hard to explain but it feels like something has just clicked into place! Thank you all for the advice it was just what I needed to hear! Well said and it makes a lot of sense. Somehow I got stuck focusing on results and progress but moving forward I figure I'll take a more laid back approach

Yea I've been meaning to ask something about shrinking the bladder. So far I've been following the 12 month training pdf and the advice of others and been drinking a considerable amount of fluid to practice keeping the open state. Should I now reduce fluids to start the process of shrinking? If so by how much? ( i average around a gallon of fluid per day) thank you for the diaper reccomdations too! Trests have been my go to for work and I love my retro game print threaded armors. Recently I discovered NRUs and found them to be very similar to the trests (slightly less capacity, but also a little cheaper). As far as a hot weather work diaper, I'm thinking about using an incontrol active air with a booster this year I really like the tapes on them.

If I can have the kind of success you have right now in 3 years I will be thrilled! I guess I am overthinking things and should probably continue with what im doing. Thanks for the insight and I wish you luck as well!

I completely agree with you trying to reformat deeply ingrained habits and reflexes takes a considerable amount of time. I guess my worry is that I'm somehow doing something wrong which is slowing down progress. If you don't mind me asking, have you developed a constant dribble yet?

Hello everyone! I'm new here and so I suppose this also serves as my introduction (it's nice to meet y'all). Like many of you, getting to diaper dependence has been a goal of mine for a long time. So, at the end of May in 2022 I decided to go 24/7 and haven't looked back. Progress has been slow but steady I've been crossing off little milestones along the way(being able to go sitting,laying down, in various situations and settings,etc.). Recently I almost fully voided (#1)while walking... before the reflex kicked in at the last second-_- still a big step in the right direction, when I first started my muscles would lock up if I even thought about moving. I might be stuck in a rut now though. I've consistently maintained what I think is the open position but it feels like I'm missing something crucial. I can drip and drizzle sporadically but I have yet to see a constant dribble and it still feels like I have to give permission for the bladder to void. On a positive note voids have become noticeably smaller and my flow has slowed. The last void I did I really focused on what was happening and something loosens up in the high bladder area, I tried to keep that particular muscle open but it just feels like it just slowly closes as the void finishes everytime no matter what i do. I'm kinda of stuck until I figure this out and was wondering if anyone went through something similar and how they got through it. Anyways thanks for listening to my story!
