I've owned a number of bikes over the years. Most of them were street bikes (77 Super sport, 84 V45, 73 Yamaha 500) but I have decided that dual sport bikes are the way to go around here. I recently owned a 00 KLR 650 which I rode everywhere and loved it. Currently I am saving for a DR 650 which I hope to purchase next spring.

I have also been the unfortunate victim of the stomach flu from time to time and I agree...having diapers around is a God-send when you are ill. I've never been a big fan of messy diapers but sometimes it is a necessity.

Yep. Wore them all the time up to about 8 years old.

Usually just pull it down a little. Sometimes leave the top two tapes undone for easier access.

Bravo Morv....This Ronald fellow seems a little TOO desperate if you ask me.

I find it fairly odd that after being out of school for 14 years now I desire to return to it once again. I never enjoyed my time in school because I never really felt accepted there. I had a small group of friends who were in the same boat. None of us went to our grad ceremony because we felt no connection to the people who were there. Anyway, I don't know if it is a result of having a mid life crisis or what, but I would really like to discover a career that 'gives back' to the world around me. I've spent a good deal of my adult life taking jobs only for the money. The only reason I am in the career that I am in right now is due to money, and I do make a good wage. However I am slowly coming to the conclusion that money is, in deed, not everything. I am tired of being a parasite. I want to contribute to the sustainable future that we all want for our children and their children. Alas, this feeling that I have feels like it is sliding through my fingers. I have made commitments that need to be met before I can entertain the possibility of acqiring new skills to jump start a new career. Once these commitments are met, I feel that I would be too old to begin a new skillset for a career change. So...what to do? Should I blast a decent, but ultimately unrewarding, career as a industrial mechanic to move on to something I might find more enjoyable? Or, do i bite the bullet, pay down all my debt, and grasp for the brass ring? Either decision brings initial satisfaction but they each have their hidden consequences as well. Right now I am safe, secure, comfortable. Sounds familiar doesn't it. I am willing to bet that any AB/DL out there can relate to feeling safe and secure when wearing a diaper or playing baby. Financially I'll be just fine by staying the course. Spirtually? Well...that is another issue.

I guess I'll add my .02 here.... I am a industrial mechanic working in a papermill here in my little town. It can be satisfying and the money is very good. I am thinking about changing careers towards the trucking industry, but I may want to get my degree in environmental management first.

Normal trash bin. I usually mix my diapers with the regular household trast as to not make it obvious that there are a bunch of adult diapers in there. Thats why I'll never be the victim of identity theft. If someone goes through my trash to get at a credit card statement or whatnot, they'll get a rude suprise

ALRIGHT....WHERE ARE THE FREAKIN COMMUNISTS??? Oh, wait a minute.....

Driving is one of my favorite pastimes. I like to explore long forgotten roads and byways. I hit the odd ghost town or two as well

Man, it sucked. I now keep a diaper with its own zip-loc baggie in my glove box. My camping gear is finally dried out.

So I'm the type of guy that likes to head out on little wanders around the countryside . Being a bedwetter it is rather important that I keep a well stocked supply of nappies around when I camp out because if I do have an accident, its not like I can change the sheets and do laundry while on the road. Well, I forgot to bring any with me on my latest excursion. In fact, I forgot to bring any change of clothing at all . To top it all off, I discovered that I forgot when I was miles away from any pharmacy or retail outlet that would carry diapers Now, I can somewhat control my bedwetting by restricting fluid intake and not drinking after a certain point in the evening. However, having thought I had a good supply, this was not the case in this instance. That night it was flood city . Man, what a screw up. Everything was well and truly soaked. My mattress, bedclothes, and sleeping bag all needed to be left out to dry. Not a good camping trip at all. The moral of the story? Well, its obvious. If your gonna head out into the woods , make sure you have a good supply of diapers on hand.

As I get older I am amazed at how my fears and inhibitions are gradually slipping away. 10 years ago, I would have been mortified if some of my friends had found my secret stash of diapers. Nowadays, its just not a big deal any more. Having diapers around the house or on your person is so easily explained away that it just doesn't seem like the big embarassment that it would have been back then.

Avoid restrictive clothing. Wear loose fitting shorts or pants without any plastic pants or regular underwear if at all possible. Change often using lots of lotion and powder. Air out every now and again by not wearing anything at all Keep the diaper region meticulously clean.

I do the majority of my diaper purchases off of eBay and haven't had any problems at all. The only online company I have dealt with has been B4NS and it worked out great.

One of my biggest issues I have is that when I realise that I need to urinate, I will have to almost immediately or I lose control. I can even reason through the whole process. Recognition, urge, retention, loss of control. I also find that the urge becomes stronger the closer I get to bathroom facilities. I have often wet within 10-15 feet from the bathroom. One of the worst episodes that I endured happened quite a few years ago when I was in a department store doing some Christmas shopping. I felt a sudden, acute need to urinate but was two floors above the washroom. I had to use an escalator to get to the bottom floor where the facilities were. Unfortunately I didn't make it. Wet my pants right in the middle of the escalator. Fortunately for me I was wearing black sweats at the time so my accident was only obvious to the immediate people around me. Needless to say, I dropped all my shopping and left the store quickly.

I do know that a lot of folks feel more 'comfortable' when wearing a diaper or a pad. I do know that I tend to feel safe and secure while wearing a diaper and tend to get rather anxious if I am going without. The use of diapers could evolve into an emotional coping mechanism where the users cannot feel 'safe' without them.

Geez, I thought my aquarium was big enough. 200 gallons....thats a swimming pool

Top ten eh? I might not have that many.... 1: Stargate SG1 is my current fave. Buying all the seasons on DVD. 2: Stargate Atlantis....Hmmm, is there a pattern here? 3: 24.....Shoot em in the knee Jack!!!! 4: Lost. Kinda fun in a wierd sort of way. 5: Supernatural. Probably should be a bit higher on the list... 6: Firefly. This would be my fave if it were still on. 7: Dr Who. The new, modern version. I like documentaries too. Especially ones about travel and exploring such as 'Long Way Round' and the 'Lonely Planet' series.

Heh. I was going to point that out, but RMS beat me to it. Morv: J/K

Most people are too self involved to realise that you are wearing diapers. I've worn diapers around my friends quite a bit and have only been caught once. If a friend discovers that you wear diapers tell them that you wear for medical purposes. Most people will clam up after that. There is a certain level of tact that one must observe if you want to wear diapers in public. First: Don't wear the thickest, crinkliest diaper you can find. You'd just be asking for trouble. Nearly all modern disposables can handle two wettings so you needn't change immediately. Second: Just go about your daily activities normally. Try not to walk funny or act differently in any way. The point is not to draw attention to yourself. Third: Realise that a messy accident will draw attention. Make every effort not to mess your diaper. I realise that this is not always possible. However, if you do this for fun you must realise that your odour is quite offensive. To parade around in public with a mess in your diaper is rude and disrespectful. I know there are people out there who don't care who they offend but having to put up with that stink is repugnant So, on to the public restroom debate. There are some nasty one's out there. Whenever possible, I tend to use restrooms in the more upscale establishments while changing. These facilities tend to be cleaner than typical. I also try to find single stall restrooms with locking entrance doors. Nothing gets the blood pumping more when you are in the middle of ripping the tapes off your diaper and somebody walks into the room.

The way diapers are designed today it doesn't feel wet at all after an accident. I would definetly change after two wettings. However, if I am wearing an X-Plus, that time frame might be extended due to its greater capacity. I think most people would be bankrupt if they changed a DISPOSABLE diaper after each wetting. Cloth can be much cheaper in the long run after a hefty inital investment. That said, cloth feels wet all the time after a wetting IMHO.

I wear regularly out in public all the time (with pants on, of course). No one can really tell if you are wearing a diaper unless you advertise the fact or you wear a loud, crinkly diaper such as Depend.

I chose neither as I never mess my diaper (on purpose) and I find that a wet diaper doesn't feel that much different than a dry diaper for myself. However, if my diaper is wet to saturation, then I prefer to change as quickly as possible.

Well, I chose 'Depends are the cure.' Oh wait.....that was 'Depends ON the cure.' Aw man... I think that there comes a time in a AB/DL's life where he/she either comes to terms with who they are or he/she decides to change some portion of their life to correct or improve their situation. If there was a cure twenty years ago, you can bet damn well that I would have jumped all over it. However, as I enter middle age, I find that I am a lot more comfortable with who I am and what I have become. I am sure we would all like to forget those terribly anxious feelings we all had when purchasing our first bag of diapers. I always used to think that the clerk would automatically know that I was using them and laugh and snicker at me behind my back. Of course it would then get around town and everyone would know that I wore diapers. That was then. I am, by far, more comfortable with diapers today.
