I mentioned this in another thread and have wanted to share this with the group. As most here know, adult diapers are not cheap. Most AB/DL style diapers average $3 each. If you don't already do this, I wanted to share what I do to make my diapers last longer. Here's what you'll need to do it the best way. You may want to improvise to save more. Your favorite brand of adult diaper opened and lying flat.

Although baby diapers aren't as absorbent for most. Some wear for other reasons, I think. There's the cuteness if a person's size allows them to fit into them and wear them securely. While AB/DL diapers gives both cute designs and better absorbency. They're much more expensive. I use to fit into Pampers 7 with some adjustments to extend the Velcro tabs. So I don't know if that counts towards fitting into baby diapers. But it worked for me at one time. Now that I'm bigger, I can't wear Pampers (even with modifications) so well anymore. They just have limits. If the tabs don't come undone first, I usually end up with a diaper wedgie. But I learned a trick for using all those baby diapers as an adult diaper insert. It's a cheap and fairly easy method for those willing to do a few extra steps. So, I can go a lot longer between changes and don't need to use as many adult diapers. I might make a picture or video tutorial of the method I use if anyone's interested. For now I've made a written one about doing this. Here's the link...

When I read these stories it reminds me of how harsh school was to some of us growing up. I had 2 school accidents (pee) and some other close calls because of fear of asking or denied using the restroom. My biggest problems were at night while sleeping. If I could of woke up to go, I would have. At home, I think the embarrassment of wearing Pampers at bedtime would have been better than always wetting the bed. For those with chronic day problems; looking back, would you had rather worn a diaper or risk having accidents at school?

Does anyone have any input on a reliable seller of adult training pants? There's a lot of sellers online and on Ebay. But trying to be careful of who I deal with. I would pay a little more for a good product. Something like Gerber cloth pants that are sold for toddlers. Not just plastic pants, but the reusable cloth style panties that were used before Pull-Ups.

Something I do make a point to do is if I'm taking a road trip, I "pad up" with a good thirsty diaper and always keeping spares within reach in my vehicle. There's a certain satisfaction having that protection if in case I get slowed down by traffic or a construction zone. Everybody else is frustrated holding it in. I just sit there and let it flow. And that warm feeling just makes it all the better in cold weather. I can't understand why non AB/DL's don't diaper up or at least keep one of their kids baby diapers handy just in case. I was stuffing one down my pants in stopped traffic one time and another driver saw what I was doing. I didn't care. I wasn't going to be straining to hold it in until the next exit.

I wanted to ask all you big boys who don't wear protection 24/7 like me what you do when your at home. And maybe there's some adventurous girls who might like to share something as well. Some girls prefer to stand, so I've heard. When I'm at home, I rarely stand to potty. And no worrying about missing my aim. I also often sit on the potty when wearing a diapers. I don't know why. I think it feels a little like potty training. Some times I like to regress like a preschooler who still wets his pants. If I'm not wearing protection at bedtime, (I know, WHY NOT?) It's also a lot more relaxing to sit on the potty when half asleep. Also, I usually "potty it all out" when I sit down. Because it seems, thanks to age and an enlarging prostate having to go after going. And getting back up to finish going a short time later is just frustrating. Might as well just wet the bed. Another excuse to wear diapers. The exception for me is if I'm in a real hurry or I'm out in public. Who likes to sit on a public toilet unless it's absolutely necessary? So I'll use a urinal if there's a restroom available, Personally I'm just not comfortable wearing a soaking wet diaper while out in public. Of course, there's always that involuntary leakage when zipping up. It never fails to leave a wet spot if not wearing something absorbent. I've bought baby diapers out of the restroom dispenser to use as a stuffer. Nobody seems to notice unless it's a thick bulky thing. So, does anyone else who isn't a 24/7 diaper wearer do something simular this? I'm cuirious to know just how wierd I am. THANKS!

This is a thread that I posted a few years back. Forgot about it myself until now. Found it interesting, that no one else does this. Or perhaps it's just not discussed...? Maybe will try this again and see what happens now. I'll be back in diapers if the adult me has anything to say about it. Or else find some Gerber "old skool" thick white training pants. And having nothing else under but training pants sound somewhat adventurous.

I use to binge and purge when I was younger. Most of the reason was because of feelings of shame for liking diapers. The internet wasn't around or it wasn't as developed as it is today. So I didn't have other AB/DL's to relate to (heck, I didn't even know what to call a diaper fetish back then). At my age now, I often go off of wearing due to many reasons. But, I've learned to just store away my diapers. Because I always will eventually come back to them. My advice, find yourself a place to store them from everyday view. Then take time away from wearing.

I'm glad you brought this up, as I think it's relevant to many who are AB/DL. I've been a DL practically all my life. In my early 20's I finally had the privacy and access to purchase & wear diapers. But this came with some shame and regret. So it was difficult to accept myself that way. I thought I was the only person in the world to have these urges. It was before the modern day internet and there weren't sites like this one. I cannot remember how many times I got rid of anything and everything diaper related. Then a few weeks or months later, I'd be buying and wearing diapers again. The realization that there were many others like me was when I accepted this part of myself. It not only saved me a lot of money, but also a lot of frustration with myself. My advice to anyone who feels like purging is to store things out of site for a while. If they decide to go back to wearing, it should curb the binge cycle, I believe. Nowadays, I take many breaks from wearing. But I know the desire will return. So, I just store things away until that time. And have no regrets in between.

I'm sure many here have already seen &/or heard about this. But if not, here's the link.

Wow, I gotta get me some of those... I always wear a discreet diaper on a long road or even plane trip. My bladder is too unpredictable to not wear one. I wish the US would lighten up about going to the bathroom. Have you ever seen the lines to the Ladies room at a large event? As long as I don't smell like urine or feel soaking wet, It's all good in a diaper.

I got this way at one point and chewed a hole it my NUK 5 and needed a new one. Also, I believe pacifiers help with sleep apnea and snoring, If you can keep it in your mouth while sleeping. I have no medical proof of this, but I feel better and well rested when I wake up with the paci in my mouth.

I wish I could of wore at a young age and fit into real Pampers. Think I've had dreams like that before as well.

I wouldn't do this because there I times I choose not to wear a diaper and it just seems counterproductive to me.

I did the other night and it's kind of funny. The dream was, I was on a game show that involved boxes of old school diapers from 70's-80's. Might of been called "NAME THAT DIAPER!"

I like role reversal. Once I had a G/F who really took to diapers and let me change her regularly. It felt good to be needed and take care of her in such an intimate way. Unfortuanatly she eventually either got bored or more likely embarrased with it all. She broke up with me and told everyone what a freak I was.

Even though I've never owned a pair, I picked rubber pants. I guess they are the original waterproof pantie from the all cloth era? Actually, I'm not sure of the material my waterproof panties are that I have.
