You are going to find more incontinent women on a medical forum as opposed to here. But I definitely hope that you are not trying to found a relationship based solely on one similarity.. that being incontinent. If so, then you are heading into a relationship doomed to fail.

I am not deliberately trying to be mean, so please don't take it that way. If becoming incontinent is something you really want to do, then go for it. There are people here that will tell you that you are making a mistake, but only you know what is best for you. But do not be disillusioned by some of the stories that you read and think that you can achieve incontinence in a few short months. It is something that will take a year or more unless you have a painfully weak bladder already. And it is something that can only be attained by constant wearing (with no breaks) and voiding constantly to weaken the muscles. What I find incredulous about your 'situation' is that you are 27 years old and you want to be encouraged to become incontinent. You need to realize that this isn't some story where everyone is going to accept your decision.. it is a fact of life. You should not need anyone else's encouragement to do something that you feel like you need to do. As an adult, you should just be able to do those things.. it comes with the growing up thing. And it is called self-empowerment. No amount of encouragement on here is going to be able to help you with the shame that you feel. That is an emotion that only you will be able to come to terms with and handle in your own way. Furthermore, I really can't see how receiving encouragement from a bunch of complete strangers could possibly satisfy any feelings of guilt or shame that you feel. Considering you just joined, you could not have possibly had time to make many (if any) friends on here. And since you did just join, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and forewarn you that posting several threads closely related in topic (especially right after joining) seems rather troll-ish. We have had a lot of problems with trolls in recent months and people here are very skeptical of new people as a result.. which is understandable. So if you are really genuine in asking for support/encouragement, then you should try and build some rapport with other members and instead of posting 3 and 4 topics that are very closely related, just post one topic that encompasses everything. Most people don't get this helpful advice, so if you are sincere, you will learn from it. Anyways, like I said, I was not trying to be mean or attack you. It is just that there are some things you obviously needed to know and I wanted to give you the advice before others came in and gave you the boot. Figuratively I mean.. not as in getting banned, but once you get labeled as a "troll", you're pretty much done for. Well, that is just my two cents.

I doubt it as well. 95% of my liquid intake is by a caffeinated product and I don't have any problems.

Nooo, I digress.. heaven is laying in bed in a froggy sleeper! There are extreme differences.. sheesh.

I like this explanation a lot and I agree that it has a lot of truth to it. For those people who wear diapers to regress, it does have meditative qualities to it. Thanks for posting and giving my mind a new direction to take with the ABDL thing..

Aside from Bambino, Tranquility are my favorite diapers. With a booster, I find that they hold just as much as the Bambino does for me. I can easily wear a Tranquility for 12-24 hours. A lot of times I change more for hygiene than for the actual need of changing.

Stylin Online Stylin' Online has a lot of awesome shirts, including many adult shirts with childish designs.

I know that I personally have no qualms with meeting people from the ABDL community in person and I have in fact done so on a couple of occasions. Do I regret it? Nope, not at all. I like meeting people in RL that share a common interest. However, on the flip side, I can see why people would not want to meet other ABDL's in person. Some people can't stand the thought of someone they know in RL knowing about that side of themselves. Other people just don't trust the idea of meeting *anyone* from the internet, ABDL or not. Not to mention this is a sexual thing for many people, so that would leave a lot of people wondering about the other persons motives for wanting to meet in person. Especially for women. It's a lot more difficult because even if you are meeting another woman, are you really sure that they are in fact a woman? I can definitely understand the reasons why people would not want to meet up in real life. I am not worried about my safety or anything like that because I trust my own instincts, judgments and my ability to take care of myself should there be some sort of altercation. But in reality, it's about meeting our own wants and needs. Some people want that kind of interaction and friendship while others don't.

This. TDL, you took the words right out of my mouth.

Wow, you make me feel better about being a t-boy for when I transition since I am only 5'4. But to answer the OP, I seem to have the smallest feet of anyone who has answered so far with a shoe size of 6... in kids.

They also have them in regular women's sizes, in case the plus size is too large.

Baggy pants will do well to hide the diaper bulge as long as you don't go with an outrageously thick diaper. Tranquility ATN's are absorbent and they are discreet. I personally would rather take my chance with the diaper than accidentally falling asleep and waking up with wet pants/seat.

I remember playing the Jumpstart learning games like crazy as a kid. I had grades K-5 and spent more time than I could even guess at playing them. I played Oregon Trail in school and that was a favorite.. of course that was in elementary school since that game was more or less considered obsolete by the time I made it to middle school. And then there was also the Munchers games.. Super Munchers specifically that I loved playing. Well actually that last one I still play from time to time.

I haven't decided what exactly I am going to do yet regarding my Facebook page. Either I am going to create a new "boy" account, or I am just going to delete everyone I don't want off my current page and change all the information. But I have given Facebook a lot of consideration in regards to my transition.

Awesome! I definitely like!

Howdy and welcome to DailyDi! You're definitely at the right place and you'll see that we offer plenty for people into more than *just* diapers. For the most part, people are friendly here and I'm sure you'll see that in time. Anyways, I hope to see you around the boards!

I'm with beallucanb, bringing it up will only open up the wound and that can be a very bad thing. If you're still living at home, it could mean choosing between a place to live and your fetish. Now if you're out on your own and still feel the need to get that weight off your chest, by all means explain the situation to her. But just because you explain yourself, do not expect her to understand it or accept it.

I feel that the people here can use whatever name they like, but I know that personally, I am more likely to talk to someone with a more unique name. When someone picks such a generic name, it is often a glimpse into their personality... which usually means there isn't much there.

BIG difference. Sanitary napkins are just a papery-plastic feeling between your legs and it does not keep moisture away from your skin. Most of them are super thin nowadays so they really aren't anything alike. Not to mention the mental difference makes it seem even less like a diaper.

I purchase my Tranquility diapers from DME - Disposable Medical Express. You have to check the box that you want it shipped discreetly.. so as long as you do that, no worries.

Excellent translation! I enjoyed it very much!

Good luck since it's one of those things that are best told up front before-hand.

Awesome! Colors are always more fun. And the reason that they don't offer adult sizes in colors is because somewhere along the line, adult became synonymous with boring.

It's definitely a Tranquility pull-up. I use them pretty frequently and they have the same "front" and "back" markings along with some blue at the very top of the diaper on the back side to indicate which side is "back" in case you can't read, I suppose.

You definitely don't want to keep him in diapers indefinitely, but it does sound like it wouldn't be a bad idea to hold off on potty training for awhile longer. Judging by the reaction he is giving now, I would say wait a few months and try again. You will know when he is ready. And there are plenty of kids that don't get potty trained until they are 3 or 4 years old, and some even later than that. Every kid is different and if you push him to potty train and he isn't ready, you will only be creating a new set of problems.
