It seems that people become comfortable with their choice of diapers and tend to continue their use. I hear so many singing the praises of their premium diapers and still seem to make many changes per day. At $2+ per diaper that adds up to many $$ per week. I have been wearing and using diapers for well over 50 years. I have been 24/7 for the past 7 years and have used Tranquility ATNs, with a baby diaper stuffer, exclusively for the last 20 years, I can count on one hand the number of times I have had a noticeable leak while wearing in public. I also have OAB and UI and pee 20 - 30 times a day. If I have any overflow it is caught in my plastic pants. My cost per week for 24/7 diapers is roughly $15. I can easily afford to spend more per diaper just as I can easily afford to drive a Mercedes or own a 72" TV or live in a half million dollar house, but why? I learned a long time ago not to allow my expenses to rise to meet my income. I am not going to "piss away" the money needed to wear a premium diaper. Years ago I had a high school senior working for me who said he wished he had everything that I had. I told the young man to live another 40 years and maybe he would.

I hope it works out. I like the size 5 because I get 150 diapers as opposed to the 120 with size 6 for the same price. And the size difference is not an issue. With this combo I don't see the need to spend $3+ per diaper for an ABDL style. I was a 1950s baby and diapers were white and plastic pants covered diapers. I even use baby diaper pins to help keep my diapers secure.

I have also used ATNs for years. In fact, I have just passed the 7 year mark of 24/7. I have never tried a more expensive diaper because I don't need to. I get my diapers from a place called Diaperbuys for less than $75 per case. Each diaper I wear I couple with a Huggies Little Mover size 5 so each combination has a cost of about $1. I change twice a day. If you wear diapers leaks will happen, they just do. I always wear plastic pants to help contain those leaks. Some think they are not necessary with disposables but I have found them to be invaluable.

I have used a cpap for years and was recently fitted for a mask that only goes over my nose. I also have a headboard for my bed so I run the hose behind the headboard and drape it over the top. The hose attaches to the front of the mask and swivels, so with it coming over the top of the headboard it is always pointing up. It also has the flexibility to move so I am not restrained by the hose as I move around in bed. This combo should give you easy use of a pacie.

If your baby shoes were bronzed.

If you know what a soda jerk is. If you remember drug stores with food service counters.

And what are schools teaching kids these days. They can't spell, they can't write properly. Those who complain are called grammar nazis. Poor teachers can't be fired. They teach re-written history. Misbehaving kids can't be disciplined. There has been 40 years of garbage in and garbage out. They are being taught that capitalism is bad and the United States is bad. How many kids today even know the pledge of allegiance. They are dumbing down the greatest country on Earth.

you remember using real silver coins as every day currency.

Just yesterday, as I was changing from my night diapers, I was thinking how sometime in the next several days, I don't remember the exact day, I will reach 7 years of 24/7. All of these posts reminded me of the different thoughts I have had during this time. When this started I was still working full time. My job was time sensitive and I had been wearing diapers at night for the three years prior. My bladder was weakening and my job took me all over the metro area and I'd often be in areas where I was not familiar where "facilities" might be located. I had been diagnosed with OAB and UI my frequency need was increasingly short. One day I had to stop on the side of a road... . I ended up wetting my pants a little. Luckily I was wearing black pants so my accident didn't really show but from then on I wore diapers and plastic pants. A little back story. I have been a DL since I was a teen in the 60s. I've told how I have most likely wanted to be in diapers since I was 4. I was 13 when I wore real cloth baby diapers and struggled into a pair of plastic pants. I imagine many of us remember the first time we wet in diapers after infancy. And for the past 50+ years I have continued to enjoy wearing diapers and plastic pants. I think I always knew at some point I would want to go 24/7. I have never been uncomfortable wearing diapers. And unlike some who think continuous wear would get "old" I have never felt that way. I do recall at the 3 week mark of wearing 24/7 I wondered if this was something that i wanted to continue. Then I remembered my near disaster on the side of the road and finished my diapering. Where I live we have an ever changing climate and temperature extremes that range from +100F and high humidity to -30F and severe wind chills. I have never been bothered by weather being 24/7. I never tire of wearing diapers. Each diaper change is as refreshing as the one before it. But here is the key - 24/7 diapers work for me!! If they work for you, fine. If not, also fine. Find your balance. Even though I choose to wear all the time I don't feel that diapers control me. I enjoy wearing diapers and feel fortunate to have this community to express these feelings. When I was that 13 year old, pinning on diapers and squeezing into plastic pants, we had no support whatsoever. So to @ThomasinWVa I agree, but then, I don't like peanut butter.

If you can remember the wind-up teeth that used to clatter across the table.

May we all see clearly in 2020😃

I like to use baby diaper pins for extra security through the tapes of my diapers. Will this cause extra problems?

How about the Kitty Cat clock with the eyes and tail that went opposite ways back and forth.

I don't remember exactly when I joined the site but some time next month will mark 7 years of 24/7 in diapers. I don't post too often but I enjoy reading about others who embrace this lifestyle and share their experiences with us. I like to chat about things I personally enjoy concerning my diapered life. I'm older, in my late 60s, so I come from a time when we 'made it up' as we went along. Well over 50 years in diapers. I'm thankful to the new generations of ABDLs who carry the torch and continue to spotlight that wearing diapers is not a bad thing and that we harm no one with our desires. Those who continue to push for new and improved products that are a keystroke away and easy to obtain. So, Little Tomas, congrats, and much happiness in the upcoming years.

I also use the same diaper day and night, Tranquility ATN. I normally use a Huggies Little Movers size 6 as a stuffer. Recently I switched to a size 5 and the results have not noticeably changed. Yesterday I found an opened pack of a brand called Up and Up in a size 5 I had forgotten about. This baby diaper is very thin compared to the Huggies diapers but my supply of Huggies is getting low and I don't want to have to shop this coming weekend (read: crazy) so I used the Up and Up diaper as a stuffer during the day. Early afternoon I had to change the used stuffer. So today I'm trying 2 of the thinner baby diapers to see how they will work. I always wear plastic pants with my diapers and over the years I have found that if any leaks occur they have always been contained within the plastic pants whether during the day or at night.
