Ah, the good old catalogs, my mothers were the Wards and Penney catalogs. I about wore them out looking at the baby diapers and plastic pants. Then I discovered the incontinence section, WOW diapers and plastic pants for youths and adults. That is where I got my first real diapers and plastic pants in 1963.

I saw my first rubber sheet when I eight, I had no idea that older boys wet their beds until a friend of my moms and her six year old son Paul stayed over with us one night. My brother was at camp so he was going to sleep in my brothers top bunk bed. Paul and I were playing a game on my bedroom floor when his mom came in and began to pull the covers back on my brothers bed. Then from a small suit case she pulled out a rubber sheet and started to put it on the bed. Paul right away started whining that he didn't need his rubber sheet that he only wet his bed at home. I was shocked, a six year old still pees his bed. I still remember the smell of that sheet, and Paul was good as his word and did not wet the bed.

I only peed my pants once by accident when I was five, I had forgotten to pee before getting on my bus home from kindergarten, I managed to get to our front lawn when I lost control. I remember that I just stood there with my legs apart peeing, I could feel my pee running down my legs and into my shoes. The strange thing was at the end I stood there and squirted a few more times into my pants. Then I started crying and ran to our front door which my mom had already opened so I do believe she was watching me pee my pants. No punishment, just told me accidents happen.

I am a side sleeper and often get leaks even though I wear cloth pull on with a booster and plastic pants, like my avatar shows. Fortunately I usually end up on my back and end up with a wet butt but no leaks.

I started making makeshift diapers with a large vinyl shower cap stuffed with old tee shirts at age 12, this was in 1959. Then at age 16 I ordered real youth cloth diapers and plastic pants from my mom's Wards catalog. Now in some kind of protection 24/7

I still like pee smelling diapers, I have a cloth all in one Velcro diaper that I have peed several times that I dry out and keep using it.

All is true, I find that laying on my stomach helps, maybe a gravity thing.

Yes I shave since I wear 24/7 and put on Vaseline to prevent diaper rash.

Yes, the slip.on ones, no buttons on mine

Old thread but in 1948 I have photos of me in a saggy cloth diaper with almost clear plastic pants, I was 18 months old. Wearing nothing but my diaper and cowboy boots.

Glad you're back, nice!

Only wet my bed once a month or so from diaper leaks, but I wet my diaper every night.

I always pee before going to bed but my bladder never seems to empty completely, so before I go to sleep I wet my diaper with what is left in my bladder. I have never been able to pee in my sleep and I have been wetting for the last seventeen years.

My pleasure taking care of my boys!

My wife is fairly nice about it and just says, "honey you forgot to dispose your diaper!" but she never disposes it.
