Just in case your butt gets confused, diapers prevent accidents.

I can see both sides of it, the pros and cons (and I think it's all valid. Everyone made good points). I guess it depends on each person and their circumstances. ?‍♀️For me, I use Kindle Select and Amazon because I can upload at my leisure, I have no set schedule or looming deadlines so I don't feel pressured to write. Mostly because I work full time, I'm in school part time and that doesn't leave much time for writing. So getting to upload content I can make some pocket change from works for me (it's put food in my belly and gas in my car when I needed it, so I'm thankful for it). Most of my Amazon money comes from page reads.

It's good your comfort zone and confidence is growing. I don't go to the gym (I just walk outside in nice weather or work out at home), but if I did and wore diapers to the gym, I'd just change in the bathroom.

My state is still somewhat open. Shops and stores are open, with masks and social distancing. Restaurants are a mixed bag. Most are still carry out/ delivery only. Some are open, mask until you're seated/ eating. Others, when the weather is nice, are outdoor dining/carry out only. Some stores have taken an passive-aggressive "fuck you gooberment goons" approach and have signs saying "If you're not wearing a mask we assume you have a medical condition." In those stores, I've seen some people still wear their masks and some people not. Heck, I've heard customers say they go to those stores specifically because of those signs. I go to the one gas station because it has the lowest gas prices. ?‍♀️ Personally, I do not eat out- in nice weather, I'd go through a drive through with friends/ relatives then go to the local park and eat. Or go to the park and walk. I do not wear a mask outdoors (unless I'm in the city with a high concentration of peops). I wear masks in stores.

I think a lot of the nervousness and fear for people wearing diapers first time in public is mostly their own anxieties and worries talking. Most people don't notice- they're wrapped up in their own little worlds. And if anyone does notice, their first thought wouldn't be "this perfectly healthy looking human is wearing diapers!". The normies/ vanillas in the world think only old people, the visibly disabled (i.e., wheelchair users, etc), and babies wear diapers. If you want to wear in public, there are also great absorbent but much quieter than plastic cloth backed diapers. All that being said, if you don't want to wear diapers out in public, you don't have to. There's no rush or schedule, no "correct" way to be an ab/dl. Just what feels right for you. If your plastic bag belt is giving you anxiety, I'd recommend switching to something more quiet. Like string or shoe laces or a nice, fancy silk scarf. Or, as Rusty Pins said, there's always thrift stores if money is a problem. I've gotten some nice pieces of clothing from thrift stores. Or clearance racks.

Now that's a fun scenario! Powerful lady lawyer (maybe in her late 20's or early 30's) and a just-graduated-from college, brand new, first career job male secretary. He's very shy and intimidated but also admires his scary boss-lady (and she of course likes him). Late nights at the office- maybe he's incontinent and already wears diapers, or he just wears because he likes them- and perhaps he isn't wearing the proper amount of padding so he has leaks...things get hot and heavy one night between them. She has him pinned down on her desk, on top of important documents....he leaks.......she changes him. And now of course he has to wear super thick diapers that are also super noisy...

It sounds like it was another IBS flare up. Sorry you're having to deal with this. If you're worried or experiencing changes though, I'd recommend talking to your doctor about this, since it's about the function of your body.

After each change, the diaper goes in a plastic grocery bag (usually a colored one if I can). Or two or three to help disguise it. I'll empty my bedroom trashcan, too. then it goes out the door into the big garbage can. How well do diaper disposable pails work on adult diapers vs on baby diapers? Or do you need special adult diaper pails?

if I'm awake enough to be aware I'm soaked and have to pee, then it's time to change the diaper and head back to bed. Or get thicker diapers. ?

Hope things look up and change for you Peculiar Changeling. Have you thought of putting your stories up on Amazon, too? It could be another avenue of revenue for you.

I think a lot of it would depend upon the execution (i.e., the writing itself). The characters and their motivations would be pivotal. It doesn't have to be anything world-shattering, just what makes sense for X character in Y context/ circumstances. The stakes just have to be high enough/ personal enough for the victim to be threatened or tricked into complying. You can always throw in a nice dose of psychological mind-fuckery- gaslighting, etc to sweeten the pot. Maybe the consequences of whatever getting out would not be that bad to a rational person, but if the victim is vulnerable somehow, or their rationality/ confidence/ beliefs etc can be rocked- maybe the blackmailer makes the consequences seem much worse than they actually are, etc. It's all in the writing and suspension of disbelief. Readers want to read this- they want to suspend their disbelief and get lost in the world of the story, root for the good guys, boo the bad guys, etc. It's up to the writer to keep that illusion up and not jar the reader out of it. There's also different types of blackmail beyond the "I've got X pictures and I'll release to everyone if you don't to Y." It could be desperation- victim needs something, blackmailer has it (whether that thing is emotional, financial, material, immaterial.) Like, "wanna keep this job? You'll wear a diaper." "You're ugly/ fat/ stupid/ etc. No one would love you. Without me, you'd be alone. Now, if you want me to stay in a relationship with you- and I really put up with a lot of your crap, you know. you could at least do this one little thing for me. I don't ask for much; just put this diaper on..." "I've got the market on meth cornered in this one horse town. I'm the only dealer. You wana hit? but you have no money. How bad you craving it, baby? I'll give you some...I'm a nice person. You just gotta do one itty bitty thing for me...." "Don't want me to show super rich wifey poo this video of you cheating on her? Y'know, you signed a prenup. Divorce and you get bupkiss, bud. It's back to skid row for you. Unless, of course, you listen to me...." "Gee, such a shame if all this evidence landed on the District Attorney's desk. You'd be arrested so fast your head will spin. Oh, you're acutally innocent? Wanna take a chance and prove it in court? I could make all these nasty charges go away...I just need something from you, too..."' It's a power exchange- blackmailer having power over the victim, and for all kinds of different reasons and scenarios.

Sounds like the ingredients for a fun diaper story...?

I hope you're feeling better and don't need your tonsils out. Shots are no fun. But thinking of a pretty nurse can help. ? Unless she has a big needle. ?

pork butts and taters!?

For that price it never hurts to try, you never know until you try!

Uranus is a fun site/ store! Thanks for sharing it with us, I didn't know about it. "The best fudge comes from Uranus!" ?

Sounds like it could be a fun article. Alas, I can't read it either. ?

Some people swear by the results, others it doesn't work on, so I guess individual results vary. For me, it's bunk- but I'm not easily influenced and I tend to be very stubborn/ strong minded. I've listened to some files from Warp My Mind just for funzies/ for the YOLO. Others have said they get better hypnosis results with professionals- either in person or on tape. So...if you wanna try it, try it. Even if you just find it relaxing or just enjoy the session. If it works for you and helps you achieve your goals, great.

Good luck! Maybe try timed toileting if you're worried about accidents- pick a time frame (maybe once every 1/2 hour or every hour, depending on how your bladder is feeling?) and make yourself go, then gradually increase the time between bathroom breaks?

Thanks! That title is ringing a few bells, so I think that's it.

I don't have any specific examples, but the daycare scenarios I've enjoyed have all been set in the Diaper Dimension. The only exception I remember (off the top of my head) is Dante's Infanzia by Personalias. I enjoyed the tension/ drama of the struggle of the 'babies' not to lose their adult minds and become completely regressed. For the diaper dimension, robot nannies can be fun, along with the struggle of fighting against being regressed, and the drama between the Littles themselves. There was one other story that was not set in the DD, but it's been so long I can't remember the title or author. It was about a girl who ended up with some magic wishes (kind of like The Monkey's Paw vibe going on) but each wish backfired and didn't turn out how she wanted.

If it's a stroke, you could also easily work in bibs (dignified adult 'cover ups', not ABDL ones with baby prints and things like "super pooper!" written on them) and the care giver feeding him if you wanted to. I don't mean to sound like I'm harping on the bib thing, just throwing it out there as an example of how to work stuff into a story. Same as the push chair, there are different designs, etc of it, and you can have one that looks more like a big baby stroller- like the one WB posted. He could wander off and get lost, or as a side effect of the stroke, maybe his stamina isn't what it used to be, or he may get unsteady on his feet after X amount of time and be in danger of falling. All of those would lead to a push chair being necessary. Or it could be small things, too- like maybe after the stroke his hands don't work so good, so his CG has to help him tie his shoe laces, or he has velcro shoes. Or adaptive clothing with snap crotches for easy diaper access.

As you said, it all depends on context. I've used an adult stroller in public before in a story- it was set during Halloween, and the character the stroller belonged to had a physical disability and wore AFO braces. I kept it low key and causally mentioned they got some side-eyes from public eyes, but then people saw her braces and were like "oh okay". I've had one character feed another character in public- in this case it was Valentine's Day, romantic restaurant. but no bib was involved in that scene. To get away with public babying and keep it realistic (or as realistic as possible), I'd say low key and subtlety are key. Maybe dress the character in bright childish primary colors, or soft baby pastels. Something that's just juvenile enough that the most reaction would be some judgy people raising an eyebrow. "Really? Are you 12?" and just thinking the character has very poor fashion sense. I can't see a bottle working- unless it's played off as part of a Halloween costume, or maybe character is dressed up as Baby New Year and is taking the joke a little far. Or it's a frat/ sorority party/ initiation/ hazing. Or one character blatantly bullying/ tormenting another- but that would get a lot of raised eyeballs in the public sphere. Maybe a pacifier worn as a necklace- but not used. Or at an outing to the zoo or aquarium, an adult carrying around a plushy bought in a gift shop. I feel a female character wouldn't raise quite so many eyebrows as a male character would? (People could just assume their holding it for their kid or something). Personal story- I bought a cute little teal bat plushy from a museum, pre-Covid, and hung it from my purse. No one said anything and I didn't get any strange looks (that I noticed anyway LOL)

What a great doctor, I hope the urologist is just as open and understanding! Best of luck in your endeavors, wishing it all goes well for you. You've put a lot of thought and effort into this, and it's something you truly desire/ need, you sound very committed to this path and I hope the urologist and other doctors can see that and will help you.
