I thought the same thing. If you're a "diaperlover" then it's not all bad to need diapers!

Just stop it. Are Babykeiff's stories unlikely? Seems to me that they are. It also seems possible. One of the kids has wetting problems, mentioned that they'd be wearing something. Others then decided it wasn't a bad idea...I don't know though. I can't imagine anybody plunking down $10 for pull ups that will be worn once for a few hours. Most kids will be fine if they pee before and after a ceremony that lasts a few hours. If they can't, then I'm sure they wear pull ups or diapers frequently because that sounds like a bit of a problem. I know my daughter has gone from home to her gymnastics class and back again without needing to pee, and that has been about 3.5-4 hours sometimes.

You'd think that after a Super Bowl ring he'd be getting paid enough to not have to make public appearances in a Pampers shirt.

I wore a diaper because I wasnt planning on getting wet .

I don't know if I'd say I've ever been scared that badly, but I've had plenty of accidents!

Today is my 10th anniversary, btw. At any rate, my wife did not wear a diaper. On the other hand, she needed one when she peed herself after the reception.

Still, I'm not sure I'd want my doctor saying I wore "Pampers." "Diapers" is one thing, but I wouldn't call them "Huggies" or something babyish unless I was in an AB situation.

I don't know. TV networks are notoriously touchy about the tiniest things. Remember Mary Tyler Moore and Dick Van Dyke having twin beds even though their characters were married? I don't even think that they showed them in bed, but the mere suggestion that sex occurred was enough. Where the network execs think their son came from, I don't know... I must say that I saw the ad. I can't really imagine why anyone would want diapers that look like jeans. I guess the thought is that it's summer, so a bunch of toddlers will be around in just diapers. Still, it's not like you're hiding anything...it still looks like a diaper! Honestly, I've never understood parents that think it's OK to have your little kids in public with no pants on.

What's funny to me is that I saw doctors while wearing a pad or pullup, and both times the doctor (different doctors) called them diapers. My primary care doc just left the clinic I go to, so I guess I'll soon be seeing somebody else. I'll have to explain the diapers again and why I choose them over meds. It'll be interesting to see what they're called next time (and it will be a diaper then).

Yes! Where is Oprah with the really useful books? Seriously, I would totally let Jaime Pressly change my diaper anytime.

23% isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. "Yay, I only need diapers 75% of the time. Now if I only knew when that 75% would be..."

I'm on the don't tell side of this. There are things you don't want to know about your parents, and things that they don't want to know about you. Imagine how you'd feel if your parents said that they liked to work bondage into their sex life. They're not hurting anyone, but yeeesh! I'd want to vomit. Same principle here. I think a lot of parents probably know things that they don't talk about. There's a fairly decent possibility that your Mom found you out and decided to just let it pass since you are 19. Looking back, I think my parents probably knew, but decided that since I was an adult, they weren't going to pry.

I sometimes use Pampers as a stuffer. It's a trick posted on some incon boards to get more out of your diaper. The theory is that you can pull out the wet stuffer, and still have plenty of diaper left over. Sometimes it works better than others, usually I find it would be better to just have a change. Using the Pampers is really just a way to feed the AB part of me.

Who me? I'm peeing, and you don't even know.

I put leaks, but it all comes down to fear of detection. None of the things listed would would make any difference at all except for that.

Even babies often have feeling that they have to go. What you learn as a toddler is not to have those feelings, but what to do when you have them. Then you practice the muscular movements over and over until you can always do it. Like doing something athletic. So, what you are trying to do is to re-train your mind about what to do when you feel that you need to go, and practice the muscular movements. What you're looking for in terms of success is when you feel the need to go and then just do, because your mind and bladder have been retrained to go in the diaper rather than holding it.

Maybe you need to bring it up again!

My daughter's 9th birthday is today. She's asked for diapers a couple of times over the past year since we adopted her and her brother from Russia. After talking to my therapist, and their therapists, we're letting it sit for now. We aren't sure if she wants to wear them, or if she's just trying to bond with me (I wear 24/7. I am partially incontinent. Not enough to need "diapers", but I like them, so...). At any rate, we're just going to let her explore what she needs to in her own way and in her own time. We figured if it is sexual, parents getting involved is just kind of freaky. I'm not going to keep her from, or encourage her to wear diapers. If it turns out she is an AB/DL later, that's fine but it's her thing.

I think that if you wear and use diapers 24/7, you're essentially incontinent anyway. Whether or not you "have control" is not really relevant. If you wish to regain control, it may be difficult, but probably not impossible. To our never trained friend: if you really want to be potty trained, never ever give up hope! I think it's a good idea to talk to your doctor -- I assume your doctor already knows that you wear diapers. He or she will probably be able to give you some kind of assistance. No, there is nobody to "train an adult" except for yourself, but if you really want it you can get there.

Exactly! If they really press you, just ask "Do you really want to know?" because they probably don't.

I watched a bit of an "Extreme Trains" show on my Tivo last night. They were showing a long line of train cars with cargo containers stacked on them, and the host talked about how they carry everything in your house. The last two things he mentioned were "adult diapers and laxatives." I wonder whatever made him come up with that combination?

Can I just give some love to the cloth-like cover? As someone who wears 24/7 for incontinence, I've found that the cloth-like is great for discretion when you don't want a noisy plastic diaper. I'll be glad to give some apprectiation for the plastic, but only in some cases (like letting my DL side out for a spin).

It's an interesting idea...I'm not sure most people would know what it was, and most of your traffic would be teenagers laughing. I'd agree with the poster that thought of the airport. A machine with a variety of personal care products would do well there, and you could potentially have a slot or two for Depends or something. I wouldn't go with a premium brand, since you will have to break up packs. The idea here is to keep your price low, and the real market for this is not the diaper "connoisseur" but the people who really need one in a pinch.

The front view sure looks like it. The back makes it seem less likely, but still possible that it's a thin pull-up style. Either way, it's fun to think about the possibility.

I'd definitely wear some cottone boxer briefs over the diaper -- putting a couple of layers of clothing between the diaper and the outside world helps muffle noise big time. Cloth like backing on the diaper helps too, so if you're leaning the X-plus route, get the Air-plus. Watch out though, the X-pluses are pretty thick dry and swell up considerably when wet. Just the price you pay for the best absorbency out there. Mostly I'd say that you don't want to seem as if you're hiding something. Be discrete, but you need to do what you need to do. I don't think that there's any need to announce your problem, so I wouldn't say anything unless asked. I assume your roommate probably knows that you're a diabetic, and since this is a side effect of the diabetes, that's all that needs to be said.
