Spark has some valid points to consider, but there are other options here for sure. Sara certainly needs the protection, and unless her doc suddenly finds a cure for her problem, she may have to learn to accept or possibly enjoy her now necessary protection. Her mother has to understand this as well, and may be able to help her to understand she needs this so get used to this life, and make the best of it?

I would suggest you hold your laugh impulse as more moms today wear diapers or at least incon products of some kind than ever before. The proof is in the size of this market, the size of shelf space in many stores now, and the advert budget spent today to make this as normal as possible. Can you honestly tell me that you have watched media for more than 3 hrs without one of these adds playing>> NOt only moms but also guys to are now targeted, especially us older gents

Cloth diapers are great for the environment, although disposables do have their place for certain limited situations. To say that cloth diapers cause us to waste water is not quite accurate. You could say waste some energy, as it does take energy to do the wash these days as long gone are the days of the scrub boards and hanging in the sun to dry, but water is not wasted, it is used. After use it simply becomes recycled, going through treatment plants and on into water ways to be reused again either by another city down stream or by the sun, turned into rain again. The wonders of mother Earth! As a lifelong engineer, I get frustrated with the "terms" often used by so called environmentalists. IE: when choosing electricity powered vehicles over far more fuel efficient vehicles and calling that better for the earth becomes the norm, that tells me that they are only fooling themselves as electricity is by far the most inefficient form of energy that we use and getting worse these days with loss of hydro and nuke plants (not to mention the cost to the environment of the battery's needed). I can go on to explane the reasons why it is ineffecient, but that would take up a bit more time and space than this post should use. Nat gas powered cars and trucks, the hybrid cars, and soon the hydrogen cell vehicles are all far superior to only electricity vehicles now being pushed onto us by a mindless government. Reminds me of the days when incandescent light bulbs were "outlawed" and we were all told to use CFL's or the ones that start dimming from day one, don't work in the cold, and are a real issue to landfill? I wish our educators would start again to teach our children the basics of science as opposed to how to "play well together" before we become the third world country to China, Africa, and India. Oh my, we already are to India I see!

Wow, you have been through the wringer as they say DC but am glad that you found a solution that is working well for you and your wife. It is interesting that the first diapers made were cloth and now the best ones for you are still cloth, with the improved construction of course. Glad to hear your story of working your way through all this grief to find something that helps you manage your days and nights much better. Hope you have a happy, carefree life going forward!!

I agree with Rusty 100% When I traveled a lot prior to retirement, I did take all the precautions mentioned and never had to tell a hotel ahead of time of my situation. Granted many of the places I stayed at on a regular basis knew of me from earlier visits and may have prepared a bit differently but I didn't notice that. As I mentioned in earlier posts, I would take a waterproof bed pad and place it under the spot I slept in, leave it in the unmade bed in the morning, and it was always placed in same spot in the made up bed when I returned the following evening. With regard to wet diapers, I would always place them in a closed plastic bag in my bedroom trash with exception of any soiled diapers if that happened (very seldom) which I would take out of the room and typically deposit in an outside waste container. Never once was my situation discussed with the hotel either at reservation, check in, or check out. I was always treated as a valued regular customer that I was!

Thanks for all the good advice about moving up to adequate protection. When I said I had a bit too much to drink that night, it was not that far over the average I would drink on an occasion like this, just a drink or two at most over my typical couple, but I was certainly feeling it as it had been a hot dry afternoon and I was also drinking a lot of water. Seems like the combination of the hot weather, not enough water during the afternoon, and lots of liquid late in the day was not something I was used to? In any event, my typical drip pads that I use were not up to the challenge and this was a wakeup call for sure that things can go out of my control if I do not take appropriate precautions. As mentioned, my yearly urologist visit is coming in a couple weeks, and I will see what he advises which will go a long way to keeping my wife happy

Well, I did it now, had a few too many drinks last week and not only wet my pants on way to bathroom that evening, but after being told to get to bed after that, woke up with a wet bed as well in the middle of the night. The pee pads I use in my panties were not up to the task on either of these occasions it seems. My wife was not happy but blamed it all on my having too much to drink, not my weakened bladder, urinary tract as has been at issue for the last several years. For sure the drink had a lot to do with this, but I have been a drinker all my life, and never had this happen to me? Guess I have a bit more to discuss with my Urologist at the upcoming annual visit.

Had a nephew that would poop in his pants on regular basis simply because he did not want to stop what he was doing, well after he turned 6 yrs old. No handicaps, simply too lazy to stop and go into the house to use the bathroom. My wife refused to change him, told him to walk the 10 minutes back to his house so his mother would deal with him. He often had a loaded pants for several hours as a result but didn't seem to bother him but sure did his mother!

For middle age or older women, especially after birthing children, this is a common problem these days-just look at all the products being sold for just this situation. For older men, especially after mid 50, it is also becoming much more prevalent. Not sure the reasons in that case, but it certainly is happening, I am living proof of that and I see my urologist every year and GP twice. The point, here again there are many products available to manage this with, so it obviously is very common today!!

I believe you addressed your point well in the last sustenance of the last paragraph. Really, I think the only "disorder" that I see here is the assumption by the masses that diapers are for kids only, and that children must somehow be involved if diapers are involved, which is so laughably untrue and easily disproven by the production numbers of adult diapers VS childrens diapers around the world, the enourmous numbers of AB/DLs out there, and the huge number of younger and older adults afflicted issues in one way or another. Considering the expanding markets for icon products ranging from high absorption pads, adult pullups or "absorbent underwear", and up to and including the traditional tab style diapers, with all the adverts on the media now, it is hard to not believe that most now days are expecting older folks are all wearing diapers. Having said that, with the social media highlighting the use of diapers by party goers at large public outdoor events to avoid crowded or dirty porta pottys, it seems to be much more common these days for the younger generation to use diapers at least on occasion!

Thinking of your dream wetparts, some years ago when I was still traveling for business I was in Amsterdam airport and went into a bathroom to pee. It was not a private stall but rather an open trough urinal and I was on one end going when the cleaning staff came in and started to clean this and sanitize it. It was a lady and she started near me and worked to the far end. I finished, zipped up and went on my way and she never moved her eyes from her work area, granted I had little to see in any case! The good thing was that I had already started when she came on the scene, so not sure I could have gotten it going if she was there at the beginning?

Interesting comment from Diap Dave, but chances are that the lady at the pick up window already knew what was in the box. They are on their system in this electronic world, and she was probably trying to embarrass Dave intentionally? In my world, I would have turned the tables on the gal, and asked if she ever had to use these products? This is from experience, as I have had to buy or order odd size bras for years due to my much larger than normal breast (for a guy). I would often have these shipped to the store location to save the shipment cost, and many times when picking up packages, the SA's would ask me how their products were working for me, and I would be open and honest, typically resulting in a nice and often informing conversation.

One of the methods that I would approve of this being used would be as a "punishment" after being found guilty of breaking handicap laws again, or after several typical punishments such as fines or loss of some driving rights. For someone who has no respect for the privileges we give to handicap'd people, they should be forced to experience some of the handicaps those folks deal with daily, including incontinence and maybe some limited mobility. Not an original idea though, as I have read stories about just this thing and I believe that would be perfectly fine especially for those who have no respect for others in that position and ignore the rules to help them out a bit! A year in diaper confinement would be perfect, especially if they are required to use a cane to walk as well

I have to chirp in here and say that to blame WG for issues like those spoken of here is to blame the Kenedy Admin for problems of the current administration IE totally unrelated! This is one of the few "typical" drug stores left and it is struggling to survive, even with its stock of many things other than the pharmacy provides. As with most every small business (the local stores are small businesses), help is very hard to find, and it is not the only business forced to limit hours. I live in the suburbs of MPLS and can tell you that many stores have limited hours, some still limit customers into the store at any time due to staff shortages. As far as the pharmacy business is concerned, look no further than what our govt health care has done to understand why they are struggling. In my case, I have been with part D coverage since I retired some 5 years ago and have had to switch pharmacy's at least 5 times now, since the contracts with these groups are always renegotiated. Of course, I can always fall back to mail in groups, if I want to wait 5-10 days for my meds to arrive, but unless I switch every year as these groups haggle over how little they will pay for meds, I will be stuck with drug costs from $30 to $50 every time I get my refills. I have at least 6 pharmas within 5 miles of me so this is just an inconvenience, not a huge problem although contacting docs to switch scripts is a pain at start of year. As my mother used to say, "you made your bed, so quite complaining and sleep in it"

Last time I was in for a procedure I insisted that they not put a cath in me as an earlier experience resulted in more pain and trouble from the cath than from the procedure itself. It did work and I was in cheap hospital diapers prior to being discharged, but did avoid the pain from a poor insertion or removal of a cath.

So what's the difference between drippling or wetting a pad and your pants or wetting a diaper? I would say nothing but a dry pants, so go for the better protection and change it as you would the pad and you are good to go

Last week I was out mowing my daughter's large yard on my tractor mower and started to feel the onset of an upset tummy and when I passed gas, it felt a bit off? As I was continuing, I felt like I needed to poop so headed for her garage to let myself in, but had to check my phone for the garage code. As I was doing this, I felt my control slipping and by the time the door was open and I was in her bathroom, I had a mess to clean up. Unfortunately, I was not wearing a diaper, only my drip pad but my panties did a reasonable job of containing the mess but had to clean that up and what I did to her bathroom in the process. Took most of the roll or toilet tissue to deal with this and wrap up the destroyed undies before I was done with the mess, but in the end, it could have been worse if my pants were more involved. Lesson learned, when outside and feeling a cramp, don't wait as it can quickly turn into an uncontrolled mess unless well padded with proper containment gear!

What a tragedy again we see and for what reason, it is clear to me why this is happening and will continue to happen unless we wake up and correct our direction. We are in danger of losing the most successful nation of laws and freedoms in the world if we don't correct our behavior and stop the people bent on causing our demise. When we allow our peace time law enforcement groups to be stripped of their authority to enforce the law as they are now, it is easy for those with evil in their hearts to evade the law and cause this kind of harm, and for what reason? Did this mad man have a vengeance against anyone he sought out to kill, doubtful? He knew that the chances he had of accomplishing his deadly mission were fairly high; he could succeed. How did he come up with this plan? Chances are he was prompted by these forces I speak of working from social media or in other channels. Does it really matter that he chooses to use a gun rather than a bomb?? The point here is our society has stripped our police of their ability to protect us, the evidence is clear here as it can be. This armed intruder, covered in body armor and with heavy munitions, was not deterred by two individual police officers, who were both shot for their lack of action against an obvious threat. Full body armor is hard to miss, not to mention the large magazines this shooter was said to possess? Why was a single off duty boarder agent able to slip into the school and take out the shooter, while the police were all gathering and certainly talking over what they can and can't do. I would suggest that this border agent was not bound by the policies that the local police are strangled with now days. I see this same situation weekly where I live, and it is not good. Our laws are not being enforced due to some perceived threat to a minority or something along these lines. The funny part of this is that nowhere in these laws is there any language pointing to a specific minority, only to a specific crime which is now no longer enforced. Police are being prosecuted today as opposed to criminals!! You say that in foreign lands, there is no gun crime as there are few guns. I beg to differ as years ago I was struck by the Dutch and Jewish country's in how they secured their airports. There airport security was armed with body armor and submachine guns, something you would never see in our country as they say here, guns kill. The point being made, don't mess with our peacetime police, as they (the police) will not hesitate to kill you if you become a threat! The final point I will make, as I am old enough to remember, once the peacetime police are neutered, they will be replaced with something far worse and our nation of laws and freedoms will be gone as well. Remember if you can, or pick up an old history book (the newer versions have been censored in many cases) and look at what happened in pre WW times to Germany and Italy. A famous person once said, " if you don't remember history, you are doomed to repeat it"

Whooo, you mean she will take her used diapers off and put them on you? Thats a bit extreme isn't it??

Similar to Princess Sophie99, I used to create makeshift diapers from toilet tissue and Kleenex at about the same age, around 8 or 9. I followed that up when I created my own space to hide and dream in abandoned equipment piled behind my dad's shop, (there was lots of it so I made what I called my private forte) and started to collect old dish towels and some similar old thin bath towels for this purpose in my forte. Unfortunately, after being used as diapers and left to dry there, they soon smelled to high heaven and had to be discarded which they were again under the piles of metal out there. Funny when years later while collecting this pile for scrap, old rotted bits of yellowed cloth were noticed, and I suggested maybe an animal drug these things into this pile? I picked up my habit again in mid twenties, when working on the road in remote locations, I would on occasion pick up a package of adult diapers and enjoy a drive around the countryside in the evening in my wet pampers. Later in my working career when traveling to distant locations and staying in hotels, I would pack a diaper bag for the overnights in hotels, and spent many a night in wet diapers prior to my retirement. Now, it is on special occasions that I get to enjoy my diapers, but as my water works continues to deteriorate, and I am already using daily incon pads in my panties, it may be soon that I will get my wish and find diapers are a daily occurrence.

I quit using the MS browsers, IE and Edge, some years ago when I found it was blocking my ability to connect to some of the web site forums? I don't like to be censored in my thoughts or what I want to say or which sites I participate in. I still have spam blockers in use to keep out the bad stuff, but don't like some operating system choosing where I can go to on WWW

Very interesting reading if I may say so myself. There are several gifted writers on this forum, and reading the above transcripts is certainly some of the most descriptive and well written context I have seen in a while. Reading the very illustrative happenings reminds me of my journey in some respect, but considering I have not yet succumbed to diaper use, it still hits close to home. I am in my early 70's and expect the need for diapers to be just around the corner, and have been trying different brands on occasion to be prepared for the inevitable. In my case, I am now using icon pads in my underwear, which along with other changes in my behavior, seem to be adequate. An important note to add here is that my urologist has said that all these things that are happening are predictable and related to my prostrate condition, and procedures already done on it, as well as my acute ED which has been around for years, and my more recent Type II Diabetes which is also playing a part in what is happening when I void. The descriptions of how often I go and what I feel when I go is spot on, I couldn't have said it any better, but one thing I will add is that for the last year or two, I have found that I can no longer successfully stand in front of a urinal to void unless I want my pants to get wet, as the weak stream and prolonged dribble will get me wet if I do so. I find that sitting to wiz is the only method to ensure that this doesn't happen, and when sitting, I feel little as the urination occurs, other than hear the dribbling occur into the toilet, and wait long enough for the slow process to finish. As to the frequency during the day, the time frame seems to be no longer than 60 minutes in the morning, and probably a bit closer to 90 minutes in the afternoon. Prior to bed, I limit my liquids and ensure that I void at least twice in the last hour to get through the night without having to get up, but that only gets me through the first 5 or 6 hrs. before I do have to get out of bed for a potty trip. While this is my normal routine, when traveling I do use a bit more protection to prevent a recurrence of something that occurred 4 or 5 years ago when I wet my pants in an airplane waiting to get to a bathroom, and again in the terminal. Not a happy time, and since then, I wear pull ups anytime I am away for more than a couple hours. So again, thanks for the very descriptive analysis of what some of us are experiencing, and while I am not brave enough to jump into diapers full time yet, I am slowly getting to the point where the decision will be made for me, I suspect.

This is a very interesting subject and it is great to see so many ideas promoted along these lines. I believe that the most appropriate idea proposed follows the line of what already is the norm for gender reassignment. IE If it is your choice to be rendered surgically incon, you should have to live at least a year as such prior to the actual permeant surgery. This could be easily done with the installation of a stent by a medical professional, these are available for certain cases already, and could also be used as a precursor to a permeant act. This would certainly meet the requirements of the doctors, as it is already std procedure as mentioned in gender reassignment to have a "trial period" and is a relatively simple procedure. That should meet all the moral and ethical requirements that the medical profession follows, and as mentioned, is a simple and quick thing to accomplish.

If you are in a group home setting, and start to wet yourself or your bed or the furniture, you will get your wish quickly. My daughter used to work for group homes, and they had most of their patients diapered, as that was easier than insisting that they go to the bathroom every 2 hrs or so as many had no motivation to get there on time or even want to go on a regular basis. They would decide to go only when it was last minute if they did even mention it. Trips away from home or outings, were a diapered event in every case I heard. When she moved on to further her nursing career, she really missed her group patients, but didn't regret having to change adult diapers on a daily basis, but no different than nursing homes, group homes used diapers on a regular basis and there was no prescription involved or even social worker required input, it was simply an expected need.
