I know there are already a few journals started in this forum but the only complete one was this one, I don't know if you've read it already or not. http://www.dailydiapers.com/board/index.php?showtopic=15216 He went all the way through with and kept semi-regular journals. You should give it a read and see if it's something you'd be able to go through with.

Thats awesome your wife is so supportive of what you want, hope you're doing something extra special for her for mothers day coming up.

I too would have to say plastic back. Much prefer the smooth feeling vs the soft.

Wait, You're drifting in an SUV?!?!? And they said Akhenaton was mentally ill, thats crazy dude.

Along with all the words of caution from those speaking about regretting it or saying it is a bad idea physically, it may also be bad in other ways. With any major decision make sure that you would be able to sustain such a lifestyle should you go through with it. Don't go buying a $500,000 house when you can only afford a $250,000 for example. Just some rough numbers for a common diaper, Depends Briefs, priced from NorthShore Care Supply (http://www.northshorecare.com/briefs-depend.html). Since I'm not incontinent I'm going to use Bettypooh's time frame for changing frequency mentioned earlier in this thread. Assuming you're changing every 3-4 hours that will be 6-8 diapers a day. For a months worth of diapers that will be 180-240 diapers a month, which (depending on your size) would be $175.10 - $196.30 for Sm/Med diapers and $196.30 - $273.25 for Lg (thats assuming you rounded up when purchasing and bought by the case, which would give you 192-256 diapers a month.) Keeping with the same amount of diapers a day as an average, this spread over a year for the Sm/Med daipers would be $2154.60 - $2847.15 to get 2240 - 2960 diapers. For Lg it would be $2693.25 - $3539.70 for 2240 - 2944 diapers. Now this is only for diapers alone, not including any of the wipes, ointments, powders or other items used for personal care when dealing with incontinence. Now I'm not an investment specialist or anything anywhere close to one but $2100 - $3500 are year can add up quickly in something like an IRA or 401k. If you can afford to do it and can deal with it personally then all the power to you. I know if I could afford it I would.
