Companies do need to treat their employees with respect and dignety (Now, there are 2 good names for disposable diapers - Respect and Dignity!) Where I used to work they also had team building excersizes and one of the bosses got fired for repeatedly insisting that everyone jump up and jump around. One of my friends is cripple and in a wheel chair. He couldn't stand if he wanted to. This same boss took away everyone's desk chairs one day until they met a specific criteria (that was against union policy). How would you feel to be told repeatedly to stand up when you are cripple and in a wheelchair? Unfortunatly, ,many companies don't care about the employees who are the ones who actually make the profits! It's a wonder you don't read about lawsuits like this on a daily basis!

Do a google search for overcoming infantilism, there are some web sites that deal with helping people who are into infantalism quit. Just like AA or things like that. I'm sure they could help.

How about "Potty-freak"?

I love being in wet diapers and dry diapers. I will very rarely poop in my diaper, maybe 3 or 4 times a year at the most. I sure love how it feels when pooping my diaper but I hate being in a poopy diaper and will change almost immediatly. I hate the smell too. I might possibly like fake poo but I never tried it. Hey! There is real poo and there is SHAMpoo! (Sham = fake).

I have a few memories. The first couple were when I was probably between 2 and 3 years old. I was having my wet cloth diaper changed on the livingroom floor. The second time I was in the downstairs bedroom where the crib was. We used that as a playroom. Again, I was between 2 and 3 and I remember laying on the floor and my dad had pulled my plastic pants down and was taking off my diaper. He got up and went into the bathroom for a washcloth half way through. I was still on my diaper with the front open and I raised up to look. I saw that my diaper was full of poop and I remember wondering how that poop got there. I had no recolection of wetting or pooping my diaper. I was in night diapers until I was 6 and I remember my mom always put my night diaper and plastic pants on me standing in front of the living room couch. I remember all the time being diapered for bed but I have no memory of ever having my wet diapers taken off in the morning. I do remember one morning when I was about 5 waking up really wet and not liking that feeling. I took off my pajama bottoms and slid off my diaper and plastic pants all in one movement. When I walked downstairs into the kitchen the first thing my mom asked was where my diaper was. I told her upstairs and she told me to go get it. I remember dragging it down the stairs and into the kitchen where I left it on the floor. I then went to the bathroom to pee. I also remember one evening going to my room to play and the falling asleep on my bed, fully dressed in brown corduroy pants. I woke up the next morning still dressed and I had not wet the bed. My parents had just decided to let me sleep when they saw me, weather I wet the bed or not. It was interesting that I did not wet the bed at all when I was fully dressed that night! Funny what you remember as a kid!

For years when I tried to sleep in a diaper I couldn't fall asleep. I was either too excited to be in a diaper or my mind just told me it wasn't normal to sleep in a diaper and wouldn't let me sleep. I overcame that and sleep in diapers once or twice a week now. I use Attends mostly with a diaper doubler inside and wake whenever I need to pee. Instead of getting up, I just pee in my diaper laying bed. Yes, when it gets around 5am and I'm really wet, I have a hard time falling back asleep unles I change to a dry diaper. I think it's my subconsious telling me I'm soaked and will start leaking and get the bed and sheets wet if I fall back asleep. Because of my subconcious being afraid I will get my bed and sheets wet, I can't fall asleep. Once I change I know my diaper is dry and will hold a couple new wettings without any leaks so I fall back asleep with no problems after changing.

I know the feeling, living here in Michigan! You are out shopping, your diaper is wet and when you walk out of the warm store it seams like your wet diaper gets very cold, almost to freezing point! As you go from store to store, your diaper warms up, then gets cold again. I think some company should make Thermal Diapers, like thermal underwear! On the other hand, who would want a diaper that had legs going down to your ankles? You'd have to have special plastic pants that also went down to your ankles! In the other hand, if you leaked, only your socks and shoes would get wet! Something to ponder.......

Yes, stores have to be very careful that someone dosen't start any type of lawsuit against them for what their employees say or do to their customers. Clerks are supposed to keep their mouths shut and do their job reguardless of what they may be thinking. I also applaud those mamagers for not just making sure their store dosn't get into any trouble but also for genuinly seeming to care and having feelings for their customers. That said, I also want to comment that if you are buying things like diapers and denture cream or even just diapers, you need to be totally calm and not seem to get flustered or embaressed when buying diapers or it is a dead give away. Sometimes when I used to buy them I would ask for the recipt saying "my grandma needs the recipt please". Sometimes if I bought other things and diapers I would ask that the diapers be rung up separatly with a separate recipt. That makes anyone think you are running errands for someone else. I was at a store once and bought a bage of disposable diapers. I think I was the only one at the checkout line but when the clerk didn't have a bag big enough for the diapers to fit in and apologised to me I told her, "Thats OK. Everyone knows I have to wear diapers anyway". If you think about it, that's why stores sell adult diapers! I'm sure the clerks see people buying adult diapers all the time. Someone has to be using them! I was in Wallgreens one Saturday afternoon and I bought a package of their disposable diapers and a package of their pull up disposable underwear. When I checked out the clerk, a lady probably in her late 50's looked at them and then told me excitedly, "These are going on sale tomorrow! You can save $3 off each package! It's a great deal!" I know she was only trying to help by telling me about the sale flyer that was coming out in the Sunday paper and she was acting just like it was any product, milk, Kleenex, candy, anything! You could see the excitement in her eyes to be able to pass some saving on to another customer and I'm sure she didn't even think that I might be embaressed about it because they were diapers! I thanked her and told her I would be back for sure and she gave me the sale price a day early! That was nice of her! Bottom line is, unless it's someone I know (I usually buy my diapers out of town or at least check the store out first to make sure no one I know is in there), I never get embaressed if someone sees me buying diapers. First, they don't have any idea who they are for and secondly, I couldn't care less if strangers I'll probably never see again in my life know that I am wearing diapers.

I'm in southwest Michigan, about 30 miles from South Bend Indiana. I have met with one other DL in the local area. The problems with people who post here is that many of them do not list things about themselves in their profiles, including age, interests and location. I can see people wanting to be cautious by all means. It just makes it harder to try and get together with someone if you don't know where they live, their age or their likes and dislikes. You don't have to give your address or anything, but my profile states Southwest Michigan and that narrows my general location down quite a bit! Aside from Kalamazoo and a few people in Grand Rapids, I've found most AB/DL's to be on the east side of the state, Lansing, Detroit or Flint. It's great for chatting with someone but kind of hard to drive for hours just to get together with someone for lunch or a cup of coffee, especially with the cost of gas! Figure in work scheduals and other commitments and it does make it hard to plan get togethers. I guess I'd just like to see more people fill out their profiles with location, age and something about themselves. Anyone can feel free to message me if they want to chat a bit! Take care!

Model RR guy here! For years when I was about 10 to 20 years old I was into "N" scale and have tons of rolling stock going back to the late '60's. I still often purchase N scale stuff but my first train was an American Flyer All Aboard system my parents got me in 1965 for Christmas. Unfortunatly, this was at the end of Gilbert's manufacturing and was very cheaply made. It also had the tracks attached to interchangable plastic squares so there was no way to build your own track plans or layouts. All I had was an oval with a couple switches to create a circle within the oval. The tracks were the new "Pikemaster" style that looked like real tracks but time has since proved that they didn't work well at all. About 2 years ago I was at a train swap shop and purchased a rebuilt S scale American Flyer Hudson and some cars and tracks. Since then I have constructed a small 8 x 8 layout and have bought tons of engines, cars and operating accesories, mostly through EBAY. I love being able to buy an engine that is missing parts, paint and dosen't run and compleatly restoring it to like new condition. I'm not near where you are but if anyone is interested in talking trains, feel free to message me! "S" scale, the "sensible" scale!

I don't recall anyone ever saying anything to me when I've been out in public wearing a diaper, even a diaper that is noticable under shorts or showing a little out my waistband. I would never be "ashamed", perhaps a little embarresed but I really don't care if people I will probably never see again notices I wear a diaper. People who are rude enough to say anything to you or laugh at you can be put in their place with just two sentances: "I'm incontinent and have no control of my (bladder/bowels) and have to wear diapers. If you were me, tell me just what you would do differently?"

Not sure how embaresed I was after it happened, but I was out of town Christmas shopping a couple years ago at the mall and decided to fill my diaper. I was in a bookstore and I selected a book to purchase. While I was at the counter paying for the book, a woman in her 50's came up behind me to purchase a few books herself. She immidiatly walked away and stood at the end of the counter until I had finished. I must have really smelled bad from my poopy diaper, but on the other hand, with her standing right behind me she was "in the line of fire", so to speak! Embaressed? Not much. Hey, if you got to go, it happens and I'm sure I'm not the only person in the mall with messy pants! Besides, it's not like I'll ever see her again! (Afterwards I went to the family restroom in the mall that had a locking door, changed my messy diaper and cleaned up. Always have a diaper change with you just in case!)

Since no one knows I sometimes wear diapers, I buy them myself. I do have to sneak them into the house and hide them in my room so no one sees them. I buy them at drug stores since I mostly use disposables like Attends, but I also buy them at medical supply stores along with plastic pants sometimes. Half the fun of wearing diapers is talking to a store clerk about different diapers and incontinence products that I use and them knowing that I wear diapers. I always do it as any normal person who just happens to have an incontinence problem and no one ever questions my "need" for diapers. It's fun to let them show just a very little out the back of my jeans or shorts when I'm in a medical supply store buying diapers.

Our bathroom is right across the hall from my bedroom. I live in a house with 3 other family members (none of who know I sometimes wear diapers). Try sharing only one bathroom! It's a pain when my brother is in there because he can take an hour just sitting, reading the paper, then washing his hair, etc. I've found sometimes when I get up in the morning and have to pee and someone, especially my brother, is in the bathroom it's better just to put on a diaper and use it instead. No long waits or yelling for anyone to hurry up, and once wet my diaper I may as well just stay in it for a while and use it as much as I can.

Yes, pottypants, I was planning on posting just that, the fact that everyone was missing the point that you called on the phone to talk about your wetting, the beers you drank and the obviously soaked sheets because you wanted them all to know you wet and wore diapers. People sometimes miss the fact that it is exciting to some of us to have others know we are wearing diapers or perhaps see us in diapers under our clothes without actually saying, "Hey! I like to wear diapers and play like I'm a baby!" I often go to different medical supply stores in thick disposable diapers under my jeans or shorts and ask about their incontinent products. When clerks ask me if they can help me I slowly and casually work it into the conversation and let them wonder first, then confirm what they might suspect. I always do this like I am any other normal person with an incontinence problem. Letting the clerks ask the questions instead of coming right out and saying I wear diapers is a much more believable situation. Start first asking a few questions about the products they sell and soon the clerks will be asking you things like, "What size is the patient, is he or she ambulatory, what do they use now", etc. Thats when I bring it up that the products are for me and I am incontinent. I have several different stories about my "incontinence" and "need for diapers" depending on the situations. Sometimes when I'm looking for plastic pants I state that I can't find anything really good on the internet and I'm looking for somthing that fits well and is durable. Sometimes I say my last good pair of plastic pants tore last night and I'm looking to see if they sell good quality waterproof pants (that gets them thinking that you might just wet the bed only). Sometimes I tell them that I'm only concerned with plastic pants for night wear because in the day I use disposable products. With disposable diapers I sometimes say that I'm looking for Abri-Form or Molicares. When shown other brands I say that I wear Attends usually but I'm looking for something better or more absorbent. I may also tell them that Attends are too bulky for day wearing, especially if I'm thickly diapered and have shorts on. I might ask if they have a disposable product that's more discreet, especially if I am thickly diapered. I love it when they show me the pull on disposable underpants. Sometimes they will ask if I would prefer the "underpants" or the "diaper". If they don't, I sometimes tell them I need the diaper style because my incontinence isn't just urinary and I need both absorbtion and containment! Some of you may not be able to understand why some of us like doing things like that, but for us, it's similar to some of you dressing in baby clothes and being babied in front of other people. It adds to our excitment of being in diapers in a slightly scary way.

Interesting! So, what did the store cleark and any other customers say? Someone must have noticed the smell along with your clean diaper on the counter and the wipes you were buying and kenw you were using the restroom to change a wet and smelly diaper.

I usually wear large size Attends but sometimes wear store brand diapers too. You notice that most brands fit low around your waist? It's almost like wearing a bikini diaper! I like my diaper to fit higher around my waist. One of the better store brands I've found is Rite-Aid brand, even though they have a cloth like backing instead of plastic. Now, even the large size is short front to back but the extra large is marked on the package that it is longer for a better fit. I have no idea why they can't make the large size longer like the extra large! Problem is, with the extra large the fit front to back is perfect but the sides are so wide that by the time I try to tape them on, they have wrapped around too far in front and miss the plastic area on the front of the diaper for taping them on. Easiest thing in the world to fix - i just use regular diaper pins and don't bother at all with the tapes! Since the diaper has a cloth like backing, I just fold the side panels under each other a little bit to get an extra layer for the pins to go through and then use my colored diaper pins! Looks and feels great and holds a lot, too! Sometimes all it takes is a little inginuity when manufacturers throw you a curve to come up with a modification to make them better than even the manufacturer design!

sounds like a new way to make "Poopsicals"

I was tested for sleep apnea 2 years ago due to my weight and a medical condition which has affected my lungs. First thing I would like to say is, who can sleep with all those wires and electrodes hooked up to you!? You are already in a strange room and a strange bed. I was really tired when I went for my sleep study but I probably slept maybe 1 or 2 hours the whole night. I did not wear diapers since no one knows I like to wear them but I usually get up 4 or more times a night to pee at home when I don't wear a diaper to bed. Because I couldn't fall asleep, every time I felt my bladder filling a little I called out to have them unhook my wires so I could go and use the toilet. This happend at least 5 times that night! The end result was that I have sleep apnea, which I already knew I had. I never followed up with my lung doctor or got the breathing mask. I was downsized at my job this past spring and I've noticed that ever since leaving my old place of work my breathing has been much better, both awake and asleep. No more waking up suddenly gasping for air. I truly believe a lot of my breathing problems were from my place of work, an office building, since my problems started 2 months after I started work there close to 15 years ago. Getting downsized was probably the best thing that could have happened to me, except for no income!

On a slightly similar subject, I ofthen break out in pimples (for lack of a better word) on my bottom after spending a night in disposable diaper. I wear Attends once or twice a week to bed and I'm wondering if anyone knows if the "pimples" are a result of the disposable diaper I wear, perhaps the materials the company uses in the diaper liner or padding. It is not diaper rash, it is actually breaking out on my bottom. If anyone knows they can message me or post here.
