Right then. Pink has said it’s OK to write our own endings. Maybe her return makes it a bit pointless, and I don’t know how many people were really going to anyway. However, it might be a while yet before Pink posts a new chapter. I’ve started a new topic called Mimi15, and that’s where I’m posting my own ending. Shame not to, since I’ve been working on it for a few weeks. What if no one likes it? What if no one reads it? Oh dear.

Brilliant! Pink is back. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it, Pink. About me thinking Mimi was 12: There's a bit in Chapter 8 where her mum says “And although you may not have noticed it yourself, I think your potty training hasn’t quite been going in the right direction lately.

Thanks. Someone else told me you can put some plastic sticky tape like brown packing tape on the nappy, and the tape can fasten and refasten to that.

I sit down to pee during the night or first thing in the morning, as sometimes I have difficulty starting to pee, and when it does come out I might miss. Sometimes I'm not too steady on my feet (paralysed leg) and I might sway forward or back while peeing. Also it saves switching the light on. I sometimes get that weird peeing sideways thing as well. Otherwise I manage to pee standing up OK.

I got run over when I was 21 and got a broken back, fractured skull etc, but I was out of hospital and walking (impaired) about after a few months. For the first few years I had very occasional messy accidents, usually when walking nowhere near a toilet. I was supposed to use suppositories/micro-enemas every morning to make me go to the toilet, but evidently the system didn’t always work. That meant I usually had to get up an hour earlier than I would normally and hang around waiting to poop. Also at that time of my life my friends were all going on holiday abroad together and I couldn’t go with them because I was afraid of messy accidents caused by foreign food/water in an unfamiliar (where’s the toilet? Nowhere) environment, and having to go through all that rigmarole in the morning without my friends knowing what I was doing. Maybe I could have just told them about that, but as it was I kept having to pretend I just couldn’t get the time off work or couldn’t afford it. To this day only one of them knows about it, and that's because I dared to go on holiday with him and we couldn't set off somewhere one morning because of my rigmarole taking longer than usual, and I had to tell him. Anyway, at some point after 2000 I found I didn’t need to do that any more. A few years ago (not sure when) I started wetting the bed, very occasionally, and it’s gradually got worse to the point where I can have several dry nights in a row, but never a dry week, and sometimes I wet several nights in a row or several times in a night. The doctors said I have an overactive bladder, and they were going to inject botox into my bladder wall, which should alleviate the problem till it wears off after 8 or 9 months, but there’s a risk I might end up needing a catheter in. I went to the hospital but they couldn’t do the procedure because it turned out I had a urinary infection at the time. I’m still waiting for another appointment after more than six months and trying to chase it up. Has anyone had that procedure done? Did it work for you? Did it go wrong?

Thinking of getting some disposable nappies for bedwetting when I go away anywhere. I've never actually worn disposables before. Do they all have refastenable tapes (for if I go to the toilet without actually wetting) or would I keep having to change nappies every time I took one off? Alternatively is it possible to pull a disposable down and up again without unfastening the tapes? I ask because I gather: disposable nappies hold more than pullups; people can pull a disposable down & up (unconfirmed); if you undo the tapes you can rip the plastic of the nappy. I haven't been able to get answers to these questions just looking around on the net. Obviously the less nappies I have to take with me the better. Can anyone recommend a particular brand of nappy (available in UK) for what I have in mind?

Maybe the lead lined diaper is a kamikaze swim diaper.

I got a spinal injury in the 80s and for the first few years I'd have the odd messy accident, usually when walking any distance (say half a mile). I once messed myself walking in to work with a colleague. I went to the toilet at work to clean myself up, made some excuse about bad guts and went home "sick". Once I went to the pub after work and needed to go to the toilet but didn't make it. I farted and it went all down my leg and into my boots. Needless to say I was in the cubicle a long time taking my boots, trousers, pants off and cleaning up. Someone came to look for me. Fortunately I'd just been to Mexico, so I could plead Montezuma's Revenge. I had to flush my undies down the toilet, which nearly blocked the drain, but they were soooo messy. If the guy looked under the cubicle wall and noticed I had my boots and socks off, nobody's ever said anything. Everyone at work knows about my accident (the RTA not the messy one), so maybe they all assume I wet and mess myself anyway but are too polite to say anything. I always used to think if you broke your back you automatically lost all control in that department, but not so, apparently. Anyway, messing yourself in public: very messy, very stinky, not just a case of wiping your bum with a bit of paper. Not recommended, unless you're a real enthusiast with no inhibitions.

Fair comment, Frink, but how do we get permission from someone who can't be contacted? Also I suspect Pink isn't bothered about this story any more. Presumably she hasn't checked the thread since she last posted months ago. Is it acceptable to post alternative endings/continuations for this story in a separate thread? Only then maybe nobody would read them (which might be a good thing?)

George, that's a very thought provoking tale of how you got arrested for stealing a takeaway. It provokes me to think, why did they think you did it, and did you do it, and if so, why? If you get your jollies by wetting yourself, fine. If you want to make yourself incontinent, do it at your own expense. If you want to argue there's nothing wrong with deliberately damaging your body and getting free supplies from the NHS, I don't agree. Do you actually pay any taxes? I never realised sleazy, amoral chavs were into this kind of thing. Or are you just trolling the forums to wind people up?

It's something I've always wondered about (ever since I saw a fake photo of Britney Spears in a nappy pushing a bike ). I've always thought it wouldn't be a good idea to ride in a wet/messy nappy. You'd get a bit of a rash on your bot-bot, and the saddle would squeeze stuff out. But people are saying they've done it. Maybe it beats riding for miles and miles trying to find a gap in the hedge, where the hedge is high enough, and the field isn't overgrown, or overlooked from the road or houses etc. before I start to pee myself anyway. At least black lycra wouldn't show the stains.

I just stuff an old towel down the front of my pants, which usually does the trick and stops the bed getting wet. I don't wet every night, but sometimes it's 2 or 3 nights in a row or even 2 or 3 times in a night (more towels, please), but I haven't had a "dry week" for years. I Haven't actually got a waterproof cover on the mattress. ('ve been in hospitals and Youth Hostels where they've got waterproof mattresses and it gets pretty sweaty). It's got a bit discoloured over the years, mainly from when the problem first started, so it's too late to worry about that now. It's not as if the mattress smells of pee, though it's probably unhygeinic on microscopic level. I'm more worried about how I'm going to explain the stains when I come to replace the mattress.

Think I might join you there, pullups. It'll get a bit messy with several people writing the story simultaneously though. aleia:I have a theory about Ally's behaviour: Considering Pink says Ally loves Mimi (but I can't see how), maybe she loves her older sister but always wanted a baby sister, and sees Mimi's problem as an opportinity for role reversal as big sister becomes little sister. Maybe it's a "caring for baby" thing rather than power/dominance/sadism. Maybe she feels sorry for Mimi, but she's enjoying it too much to want it to stop. Maybe she thinks it can't last so she's making the most of it. Which is a "nice" explanation, as opposed to: she hates Mimi, or wants revenge for something - or as you said, she's either a secret DL (with access to free nappies while Mimi's problem lasts) or she's just a sadistic little twerp who thinks it's funny. Meanwhile Barking Mad Mum probably wants the feeling of having a baby to care for. Maybe it's a menopausal thing, or she can't have any more babies, so wants to turn Mimi into a baby; so Mimi is the object of both their twisted desires. Ally going off the rails as a result of mother's neglect? True, Mimi is getting a lot of (unwanted) attention, but Ally is revelling in the role of mummy's little helper (is she doing it for attention/approval?). Mum thinks she's wonderful and she's allowed to get away with stuff at Mimi's expense. If Mimi wasn't around any more, having Mum to herself might give Ally the love she needs/keep her in line. On the other hand, Ally alone in the house with Mum and lots of nappies..... I like the idea of Mimi's schoolwork being affected etc. I gather she's academically bright, just a bit dim when it comes to remembering to use the toilet sometimes; but it can't help if she sits in class worrying if anyone notices she's messed herself etc.

I was in DL chatrooms a few years ago, but I've been lurking since then.
