Glad it’s working out for you. Bladder incontinence is pretty much a minor nuisance. You can wet your diaper anytime, anywhere and no one will know. Wet diapers are easily changed when it’s convenient. Bowel incontinence is a good deal less convenient. Soil your diaper and everyone within 10 feet of you will know within 10 seconds. Clean up away from home is also a real pain.

Practice, practice. Once you get the technique down at home, you can then try it in a public lavatory stall. Handicap stalls provide enough room to do the job properly and also dispose of the used diaper discretely.

Medically incontinent people I know keep several varieties of diapers available for different purposes or levels of protection depending on the situation. Cheap ones for short term use around home. Regular ones for normal use daily. Very heavy absorbent diapers for times when changing might be very inconvenient or impossible.

That was my point in my earlier message. Rubber pants that keep all water out are the only practical solution if you want to keep swimming after soiling your diaper. If water can get in, then it can also get out. So, water contaminated with fecal matter inside the swim diaper will inevitably escape and contaminate the pool you’re swimming in.

I’ve found that weeping with the Seni Quattro is pretty much non-existent. To counter the loosening up of cloth-like diapers, I recommend using elastic fixing briefs like those available from Abena.

After that experience, I came to the conclusion that it’s a good idea to have a complete change of clothes easily available; just in case. I have a gym bag in the car and have a complete set of clothing in my carry-on bag along with several spare diapers when I travel. Even in your case, I’d seriously consider rolling the waistband in, just to be safe.

Being somewhat overweight, the diaper waistband will naturally roll outward on me. If it does that, the absorbent material will then be in contact with you outerwear (in my case, my jeans). I had the unfortunate experience of thoroughly soaking my jeans, shirt, and belt while on a plane trip once. Changing clothes while traveling is even more of a pain than changing a wet diaper; especially if you don’t come completely prepared for such an eventuality.

There is no better place to practice than at home. I open the diaper and hold the waistband at the right level behind me. The lean against the wall to keep it in place while I reach down between my legs and pull the front up and get the diaper properly situated. I first fasten one side a the leg and then the other. I then fasten one side at the top and the the other. Finally, I roll the front waistband inward all the way to the sides.

15 hours ago, Lil Fox Scotty 91 said:
I wear diapers during the worst episodes and at night. I wear pull ups during the day to try to control it, but don't make it to the bathroom in time about 9 out of 10 times. I am sorry if I didn't explain the situation that well.
If that’s the case, I’d recommend using a good premium diaper (e.g. Seni, Molicare, Abena, etc.) and not worry about trying to hold on if it’s causing you that much pain. Personally, I’d avoid AB diapers as they are designed to be noisy and babyish. I use the Seni Quattro. It is easily good for at least 8 hours. However, how long it lasts for you is entirely dependent on your metabolism.

Simply wearing a diaper isn’t going to cause you to become incontinent or cause you to lose the feelings in your bladder or rectum when you need to go. Having a diaper on simply gives you an alternative to holding it in until you can get to a toilet. If the urge to becomes too painful before you can get to a toilet, you can let your bladder or bowels empty into the diaper with minimal consequence. Instead, you now have to deal with a wet or soiled diaper and the clean up associated with that. If you’re not already wearing protection, I’m guessing that you’re not currently having accidents. So, it will probably take longer than you think to overcome your inhibitions to wetting or soiling your pants and begin going in a diaper.

There is no doubt about being teased for still wearing diapers when all your friends are out of them. Kids can be vicious little monsters teasing anyone who is different.

I’m at the early end of your age range and also from 90 miles north of Chicago. I never experienced the toilet training techniques you describe. In fact, I would characterize mine as probably too permissive as I was still wearing diapers on some occasions when I was 15 years old.

Drinking that much water, you're flushing an awful lot of electrolytes out of your system. I hope you have a way of replacing them before the loss becomes a major problem.

I tuck in the waist band. Being overweight, if I don’t tuck the top of the diaper in, it will roll outward. This results in wet jeans as the urine wicks from the diaper into the jeans where the absorbent material comes in contact with the cloth. After a couple of embarrassing experiences with very wet pants, I now always tuck in the tops of the diapers.

Mine went in the trash years ago.

You’re assuming that the feces will remain a semi-solid mass even after they are exposed to water inside the swim diaper. If the swim diaper doesn’t keep water out, the feces will be dissolved into a poopy soup which will then easily escape the diaper. If you don’t exit the pool immediately upon having a bowel movement, you’ll be leaving a brown wake behind you as you swim. Tight fitting rubber pants can potentially be used for full containment. They are used when incontinent patients require hydrotherapy.
Have fun in your own pool, but don’t be surprised when you have to drain, clean, and refill it. The contamination isn’t going to do wonders for your filter system either.

You’re not likely to find any that are comfortable. For what you want, the over pants would need to fit very, very snuggly around the legs and particularly, the waist. They need to keep water out, in addition to keeping the poop in.

As someone who has become totally incontinent by choice, I haven’t actually messed my diapers while completely asleep. Usually around 3-4 AM, I’ll be awakened by an uncomfortable feeling in my abdomen and rectum. The feeling very quickly becomes so uncomfortable as the rectum contracts that I automatically tense my abdomen and push to quickly finish the bowel movement. At that point, I go back to sleep and wait until I’m ready to get up to shower and change. I’ve gotten so that all of this happens while I’m half awake and quickly get back to sleep, but it’s still a conscious action.
As for accomplishing this without having daytime problems, I’m not sure that can be done. Several times, I’ve tried to stifle a sneeze or tensed up while straining to lift or pull something and accidentally messed my diapers. It’s difficult to completely lose control under some circumstances but have normal control under others.

Go back a few years and SAP did not exist or was not then used in diapers. Back then, it was just absorbent fluff. Diapers were thicker and less absorbent then. One problem you could run into with old diapers that have SAP is that they could leak. The SAP crystals can cut through the plastic barrier if the diapers have been moved around a lot.
-
When I was younger, I tried aiming it down to prevent leaks. However, it would inevitably change direction while I slept. If you’re using cloth diapers, I’d recommend folding them so that there more material at the front waist area. If you fold the diaper inward at the waist, you can create a pocket that might prevent you squirting up your stomach. However, there are no guarantees. The penis changes size many times during the night. So, you have no idea which direction it will be aimed when your bladder empties.
These days, aiming isn’t necessary or even possible for me. Medications, age, and prolonged diaper use have reduced m penis to near infantile size and erections don’t change that significantly.
-
I’d recommend not wasting your money on all-in-one diapers. They are virtually guaranteed to leak. The absorbent material is sewn right up to the leg gathers in the crotch area. As a result, urine will wick out the stitching holes and be squeezed out the leg openings when you sit. I’ve tried many different brands and they all exhibit this problem.

If you use the daytime weight contoured diaper similar to the one from the Adult Cloth Diaper Co., the bulk should not be a problem. I wore those for years under my jeans. With a cloth diaper, bulk = absorbency. You have to decide which is more important; a diaper that is more easily concealed or one that has sufficient capacity to not need changing every time you wet it.

Plastic pants aren’t normally as effective as rubber pants at containing the odor of soiled diapers. You need to minimize or eliminate air circulation, particularly along your spine in back, by having a snug fit at the waist.
