UsuallyDiapered

I'm not entirely sure...but I suspect I was in cloth nappies and plastic pants (mid-1980's). I distinctly remember, when I was a bit older, finding some old terry nappies in the wardrobe, which I'm fairly sure were mine. I also have a vague memory of my plastic pants "bursting" or tearing when we were at someone else's home, accompanied by a rush to find a replacement. By the time my brother came along a few years later, it was disposables all the way.

I must give that a go... Sometimes when I'm anxious about something big that's coming up the next day I find it hard to sleep. Thankfully it's not a regular thing for me. Insomnia must be terribly debilitating when you're trying to live a normal life during the day.

I was out of nappies day and night at around 26 months. Wore a baby nappy occasionally when I was 10+, but not much during my teens. In my early 20's (about 20 years ago), I bought a sample pack of 3 Tena Maxis - strangely, while I do remember putting the first one on, I don't actually remember wetting it or the others, although I imagine I did. Living with family, I could really only get away with the occasional sample pack, which would fit through the letterbox and not draw much attention. Went through the usual binge-purge cycle up to about 2020, where I would buy a pack or two, use a few and throw out the rest. I've kept a decent stash of nappies for the past six years, and I have not thrown out an unused nappy since then. So, I guess you could say that I have been "fully committed" to wearing and using nappies since 2020.

Only one occasion for me, which was very short-lived. I remember when I was about four or five and I was out shopping with my mother. While we were out I had to go to the bathroom for #2, but nothing came out 😅 On the way home I couldn't hold it and I messed my pants. When we got home my mother told my father what had happened and one of them said, "We'll have to get the nappies out". In my little mind I really hoped it was true and I imagined that there was a pack of nappies in the grocery shopping we had brough home (of course there wasn't, as there was no baby in the family). Alas, that little glimmer of hope as a budding DL was short-lived! I have zero memories of being threatened with being put back in nappies for bad behaviour. No memories of my childhood friends being threatened in that way either. Of course, one explanation for that is that we were never bold 😂😂

My diaper experienced changed when, many years ago, browsing random topics on Wikipedia, I searched for "Diaper". From there I learned that there was such a thing as adult nappies and that some people (ABDLs) wore them for fun. I realised I wasn't the only one who was curious about nappies! Soon after that I bought a sample pack of Tena Maxi on eBay, and after that I tried what I could get my hands on fairly easily - Pampers Baby Dry 6+ (hard to believe those were the largest at the time), Huggies Pull-ups, and DryNites. A few years later I was able to buy adult nappies online, and haven't looked back! So, in short, it's all thanks to Wikipedia for encouraging my curiosity some 20 years ago 😂

I usually go for white nappies. I did order pink Megamax once when it was all that was left in stock - not really a fan of the colour, but really wanted to try Megamax. Blue would be my next choice after white.

There will come a point where calling them "Baby Dry" will not be an apt name 😂 😂

Doubt they'd fit me 😂 and I'm not really into baby nappies anyway (except as stuffers sometimes maybe). Anyone got a size 8 for comparison? I seem to recall someone comparing size 8 and 7, maybe in the US, when size 8 came out a few years ago and it turned out that it wasn't much bigger.

I can remember the first time I got that e-mail. Even though the claims weren't true, my heart was racing, and I was second-guessing myself - could this person have seen something? I did a quick search and found out that it was a total scam. Haven't gotten any such messages in quite a while thankfully. The problem is, these scammers prey on vulnerability. They tend to send out hundreds, if not thousands, of e-mails at once. Out of all those recipients they just need one to panic and make a hasty payment, and the scammer instantly gets a decent week's wage out of it!

Yeah - I take your point. There was a time where there simply was no other supplier with as big a range, and that was attractive when I was "starting out" and trying various diapers. The landscape is different now - I tend to use Diaper Minister or France ABDL. I definitely found the shipping costs for Save Express to be the most prohibitive, and that's the main reason I hadn't bought diapers from there in about 3-4 years. I do recall an issue with customer support at one point too, and I agree it was quite tiresome - apart from that I don't recall issues in terms of products or service. Shipping from Diaper Minister to Ireland seems to take about a week, but I find France ABDL a bit quicker at maybe 4 days - the dispatch is quick from both, but some couriers are quicker than others...

Yep - when I first started wearing diapers, it was the place to go as they had such a fabulous selection. I still remember, with my first order, my hands trembling as I opened the box of sample packs when it eventually arrived from Germany 😂

Don't know when this was announced, but I just read today that German diaper store, Save Express (save express.de), is closing down tomorrow, June 19. Reasons given are health, EU regulatory mania and bureaucracy. European members in particular will likely be aware of Save Express - it probably had the widest selection of diapers and other supplies of any shop in Europe. It was from there that I got my first diapers as an adult. Always efficient and with reasonable prices. It was also one of the few places (perhaps the only place) in Europe which stocked the plastic-backed Abena M4 diapers. Unfortunately in recent years, shipping costs made it too prohibitive for me to buy from them. Anyway, this is a sad day. At least there are some other good shops in Europe - Diaper Minister, France ABDL, etc. I wish Oliver Weidlich a happy retirement and say thanks for running a great business for over 26 years.

I'm with @Slomo on this one - if I'm going to wear a diaper as underwear, then why would I put another pair of underwear over it? I know some people will say it keeps the diaper snug, and that's a valid point. However, I find that adding underwear is just adding another level of bulge (granted, not very much), plus I have found that underwear (or overly tight trousers for that matter) can cause a diaper to leak prematurely.

How is the trip going? Where are you hoping to visit?

Can't really identify with the AB side of things, but if I'm diapered I pee in it whenever I need to. Like some others have said, the exception is #2. I don't go #2 in my diaper very often anyway, but I'll use the toilet unless my diaper is already so wet that I'd have to change soon anyway - such as, occasionally in the morning when I'm still in my night diaper.
