As usual Spark your incite is quite...well... inciteful. You've read the situation perfectly and I thank you for putting it so succinctly.
Huge THANKS
You're welcome. I get Robbie. I wasn't quite like him, but I get being 12 years old and wanting to build sandcastles, especially while sitting in a wet diaper.

It was such an interesting story. The choice of twelve is very interesting. Any younger, and there is the assumption of innocence. At twelve, Robbie was old enough to know what he was involved in. Putting him in back in nappies allowed him to go back to the innocence of childhood.
Of course, now he has to deal with the consequences of evidence of his crime being available, and the fear that he will lose his mother's love if she finds out.

Could you not also just contact the rail service providers and make mention about how you need to have access to required medical supplies. I mean, it does in a way stretch the truth a bit, but the diapers are medical supplies, and you do need to access them...so I suppose that if it is a lie, it is at least a minor one. At that point, wouldn't the rail service providers be obliged to allow you to story your supplies at no cost in the baggage train, seeing as we in Canada also maintain a reasonable standard of accessibility for the disabled/ infirm.
I'm not sure about that. As far as I know, the logistics of getting something out of the hold is difficult. I've been told to pack light for the train, but you'll need a change of clothes after 4 days. AFAIK, a bag that fits in the overhead compartment on the plane can also be stored in my cabin. I have a bag that folds up, so it won't be an extra one for my flight, but I load it up for my trip on the Canadian. The Ocean only one night, so my backpack (fits under the seat in front of me) is big. I wear one to the train, and put two in the backpack. An extra shirt and sweatpants and I'm fine.

While some feel that actual infant formula is more 'realistic', some of that stuff is vile!! So infant formula, perhaps even the 'soy based' variant. P.S. you'll be having loose/ foul bowel movement the next day. That's my experience at least.
I don't know how it got sent to me, but I tried some and it was bad
I put wine in my sippy cup, but that's not a punishment. It's a legit use of a sippy cup. I haven't spilled any red wine on my carpet since I started doing it.

Like others have said, if you get to Vancouver and feel the urge for a pint please reach out on here.
I get to Vancouver on July 6, and leave on July 8. Long-distance trains are a crapshoot for arrival times. I could get there anywhere from 8 am to later that night.
When I was 12, my mom and I played at the pitch and putt in Stanley Park, and that's one of my primary goals for Vancouver. I have a full day in Vancouver. That's actually more than Toronto, because I'm going Niagra Falls on Canada Day.

I prefer a standard carry-on when I travel, no matter how many days. I don't like to drive, especially on unfamiliar roads with unfamiliar cars, so I end up staying in the downtown areas, and use public transportation as much as possible. Large suitcases are anchors. Checking a bag on the two overnight trains is easy, but it's a hassle on the two corridor trains. I also won't have access to for 4-days on the Canadian.
The other issue that I need to figure out is the transfer in Calgary. I intended to check my bag from SFO to Halifax, but I have to clear customs in Calgary. That means I have to be re-screened at the airport. It might be easier if I have my bag with me, and don't have to put my bag back through the checkout.

I've been to all the places you are going to go by train, but I've never done it by train - that has always been on my bucket list. I'm a bit of a train nerd - I did take the train to the East coast from Toronto, when I was a kid, but in my adult life, I've always been so busy and had only so many vacation days to burn, so trips have been about the destinations, not about the journeys. I have an uncle who is taking the Canadian this summer, but from Edmonton to Vancouver - he's skipping Manitoba & Saskatchewan, which are flat and dominated by grain fields. Although the Ontario portion, along Lake Superior, would probably be spectacular, as well.
I looking forward to Manitoba, but I like all the scenery on a train. I'm not a huge fan of suburban sprawl, and urban industrial. I know that's mostly what I'll get on the corridor. I've been through Montana, which is vast rolling wheat fields.

I ordered from Rearz. I tried to order via the phone, thinking it would be better to talk with somebody, but they don't do phone support. I ordered, and then contacted them via emailed to explain the circumstances. Unfortunately, their response was a bit terse (basically telling me to order closer to the needed date next time), but I think it will work out. Hopefully it works out. I'll let you know.

I worked for years in hotels, we were always getting and holding packages for guests. I would call the hotel and let them know you are having a package delivered for you. Some of the packages were quite large, and often multiple boxes. In some cases we received packages for guests that had to cancel their trip and then ship the stuff to their next stop, at their expense.
than you. I just emailed them before I posted this, but I'll call them if I don't get a response. It's also why I plan to order from RearZ, because hopefully I can time the delivery if I call them. Canada Day is July 1, so i don't have as a great a window as I thought.

Yeah, The Ghan and the Indian Pacific. Those are the uber-expensive ones. The train from Brisbane to Sydney is, well, uh, interesting... I haven't taken it myself but I know others who have. It's not a popular service.
My trip this summer is 4 digits, and starts with a curvy number. I'm fortunate that curvy numbers don't scare numbers as much as they used to, but there was a time that skinny 3-digit numbers scared me. FTR- both of those two are a similar price point.
FTR-I know how this works for me. I create a bucket list in my mind and perseverate on it, figuring out how to make it happen. I did it with Vietnam, I did it with Japan, and i'm doing it again with Canada. I've literally been thinking of this trip for 15 years.
For me- The Ghan sounds uber cool, but I want the india Pacific (FTR- that due to the Nullarbor Plain). That been on my bucket list for a long time. Planning it is a lot of work. If I go to Sydney, I should go to Brisbane. If I get to Perth, i want to go to Singapore, and then I want to plan that with friends, and Singapore is a long way from hom, so I need figure the best way to get home.
BTW-I've already decided to bring my sippy cup with me, because it's the best vehicle for drinking wine on a train.

It sounds awesome. I love the idea. Pretty much any holiday that doesn't involve an airport (or a cruise ship) sounds good to me. There are a couple of "great" train journeys available down here but the inevitable reality is that for most of the time, you're in the outback somewhere (flat desert) and they are *ruinously* expensive!
I've only been to Canada once (drove there from the USA) and was kind of caught up seeing friends of my beloved. I really didn't get the chance to do it justice.
You and I must be brothers from another mother. I don't mind flights because they are fast, but cruise ships. I watched a video of a massive cruise ship, and I'd rather have a root canal without novocaine.
I've only been to Vancouver (when I was 12) and Quebec. FTR- Quebec City is the best city in North America to visit. Worldwide- it's right up there with Bruges, and I met a girl Bruges, so it might be biased. This will mean that I will only have 2 provinces left (I also have 2 states left). Unfortunately, they are hard to get to. I wanted to start this trip in Gander, but it was a long bus ride to a ferry to another bus ride to get to the train. It was just too hard for this trip (and doesn't include trains).
BTW- as an Aussie, I'm sure you aware of the two Australian bucket list trains. I want to take the India Pacific from Sydney to Perth. I would start in Brisbane with the regular train, so I would knock off all 5 States in Australia. I would prefer to do that in your summer (more sun), but I don't think I could do that in my Christmas Break,

PS- train nerd alert!
In 7 days, I'll be at the beginning of one of the best trips I've ever done. I'm taking The Ocean from Halifax to Montreal. I'll be in Montreal a week from Saturday and watch a soccer game in Montreal. I make my way to Toronto by Monday and spend a night in Ottawa. I see a CFL game (super excited for that as well). Two nights in Toronto, and then I take the bucket list train trip that all train nerds must take (the Canadian) to Vancouver. I decided that I might as well take the train home. The best part of that train is between my home and San Diego, so take the train all the way to San Diego. It's a train from Halifax to San Diego over 12 days!
The problem is stocking enough diapers. I travel light, but I can carry about 14 diapers in my carry-ons if I limit my other clothes. Basically- two t-shirts, one polo, one cover, two shorts, pants, underwear, socks. I'm still need to restock, so my current choice is to see if I can have them delivered to my hotel in Toronto. I've tried in the past to buy them at drug stores, but adult diapers are impossible to find in downtown areas.
The plan now is see if the hotel will accept a delivery before I arrive, and then see if RearZ can time the delivery for me

I think we've all had this at one point or another. You're out and about in a good diaper....but it's filling up and you have nothing to change into. Happened to me this morning while running errands around town. My mistake as I had 3 cups of coffee in me...which is more than usual. I knew I was getting close to capacity so I had to cut my chore list short and high-tail it back to the house. In retrospect I should have just took my diaper off and 'gone commando' but what's done is done.
My shorts were 'slightly' damp when I got home....
I had that choice this morning. I got a train at 7:30, and woke up in my hotel at 6am. My diaper was slightly wet (enough to feel it), but I knew from experience it wasn't close to leaking. I felt rushed, so I considered just keeping it on, and wait until I got home in five hours. In the end, I had the extra diaper in my bag, and decided to start with a fresh diaper.
To be honest, I don't know why I considered leaving in a knowingly wet diaper, but I've noticed that I'm getting more risky with that than I used to be. In the past, I wouldn't even go to the store with a diaper that wasn't dry.

I think, after Covid that home-schooling became more popular... especially here in the UK.
Some children have still not recovered from that long gap in their education and some schools have not been given the resources to make catch-up something feasible. Meanwhile, disruptive elements in school make the job of education almost impossible and parents, where they can, have opted for having their kids at home.
It feels like the kids hurt the most by Covid are the youngest, and it is taking a long time to overcome that loss. I felt sympathy for this year's graduating class, because they were the class that started 9th grade after not having to come to school for 18 months. Basically they were halfway through 7th grade when it hit the fan. In some schools, they still line up for recess in 6th grade, but we have an open campus during lunch (it's pretty much open anyway). They didn't have a clue how to do high school, which is typical for all Freshman. Well, the next year's group was less prepared than that, and the incoming 1th graders were still children when they started high school. I think we may have kids who's parents are still cutting their food next year.

Very good story. I guess he might have been messed up just a little bit. But as long as everyone is happy with it I can be as well.
First of all, thank you. I worked hard on this story, especially at the end. It essentially took my entire school year (I think in school years) to write, because the original inspiration started way back in August. To be honest, if it weren't for the comments along the way, I don't think I would have developed the characters as deeply as I did.
I've got to thank @Dirty Boy, because without him, I don't think I could have the characters as deep as I did. FTR, you were never supposed to hate Sarah, because Eddie idolizes Sarah.
I only introduced Tara because I wanted a foil for Eddie, which led me to lead to both Ashley and her mom.
In the end, all is good. Even if you think Eddie was brainwashed, he's had 5+ years living as a relatively normal adult, and chose to be a baby. That's long enough for Stockholm Syndrome to have run it's course (PS-it's why I choose the age).
Right now, Eddie will turn 25 on September 1. He knows what it's like, knows what it's like to be like be an adult, and still chooses to be a Baby. Eddie is stronger than he has ever been. In reality, Tara is a survivor, but she is strong.

Since no one else has said it yet, you two seemed to have a small misunderstanding that escalated. Kirababy is specifically asking about checking cloth diapers which is what @Little BabyDoll Christine was answering. To my knowledge there are wetness indicator strips for cloth diapers. Christine most likely meant those. @spark assumed from there that changing disposables was the subject, maybe forgetting Kirababy's question.
You silly goose were arguing about two different things. It helps to first hit the brakes and check that are you on the same page.
That's not exactly true. The kerfuffle came about because somebody said that without a wetness indicator, you need to check inside the waterproof. I responded with this, which I think was respectful:
On 5/22/2025 at 8:04 PM, spark said:I don't think you need a wetness indicator to tell. I'm wearing the same diaper I put on this morning, and it's clearly wet. All you need to do is squeeze the front, and you can feel through my sweat shorts.
Unfortunately, some posters get triggered when they are told they might be wrong, and they go on weird tangents . Like squeezing the diaper only gives the CG an approximate idea of how wet the diaper is, which, for some reason, wasn't good enough. That's the whole point of checking a diaper!
It had nothing to do with cloth versus disposable, except that cloth diapers don't have wetness indicators. It also has nothing to do with how long somebody stays in a wet diaper, and it being an ABDL thing, or real. That was a pointless tangent that had nothing to do with the subject.
Q: When is it time to change a diaper?
A: When it's wet enough to be changed.
Q: Who determines if it's wet enough?
A: The caregiver who is responsible for the diaper.
Q: How?
A: By feeling it, usually with a squeeze. As far as I know, it is the same process whether it's a cloth or a disposable diaper. If that's not the case, explain why, because wetness indicators have no bearing on when I change my diaper.

For me he should have insisted, asking that if he was accommodating to his parents in accepting homeschooling, they should in turn accommodate him by taking him out of diapers. It would have been a fair compromise. Instead the parents are only imposing their choices by exposing him to public humiliation such as the bullying situation.
I'm not sure if Robbie would want to get out of diapers, though. Robbie knows what he did and feels guilty about. He also knows that putting him in diapers was such a powerful act that it stopped him from going any further into the abyss.
Robbie doesn't appear to all that humiliated about his nappies, and upfront about why he wears them.

Eddie would have needed psychotherapy, a bit like me at his age. Unfortunately, we both didn't have anyone who directed us in that direction.
Maybe, but Eddie is now 24, loves his job, and doesn't have any stress. That's pretty good for a kid fresh out of college. I'd imagine the therapist would envy Eddie's current situation.

Eddie's entire adolescence was ruined by his mother, he couldn't live all the experiences that teenagers do. He didn't get out of it because he suffered from Stockholm syndrome and regression
Eddie was a socially awkward and immature 15-year-old bedwetter with a domineering mother and a father with extreme mommy issues. That ship sailed long before he was regressed that way. It didn't help, but Eddie was never going to have a normal high school experience.
It wasn't like he was paraded through school in a stroller. Most of the baby treatment occurred in private, or publicly private (IE, the zoo). Other than the diapers, which weren't a big deal in this story, there was nothing about Eddie that made him stand out as a classmate. Nobody knew that he slept in a crib or ate his meals in a highchair.
In this long-term iteration of babying, the highchair is reserved for special circumstances. He's more like a 5-year-old who isn't potty trained.

Sarah was a bully at first when Eddie was still fighting. On the first day of diapers, she physically restrained him while he disobeyed her and was using the bathroom. Then the stroller thing.
However, the worst thing is the lack of remorse from both Alice and Sarah, despite the fact that it is clear that the therapy has damaged Eddie psychologically. Only George had the decency to at least apologize. However, much of the blame lies with Eddie himself, if he had initially opposed with force, his mother would not have been able to force him. So what happened is also his fault.
Sarah wasn't a bully that first day, but she needed to show Eddie that she was in charge. At the beginning, they needed to get Eddie used to going in his diaper. She grabbed his arm, but then it was more of a plea.
I can see how you can think that Eddie is psychologically damaged, but I wouldn't say that. What happened at the end was 100% his choice, and he is free to change his mind. Even at school, he was manipulating the situation to stay in diapers. I think all of the people who ended up in diapers manipulated the situation to be put in diapers, and that includes Sarah. She knew that there was a chance that she would wet her pants at the concert, but chose to wear the tight shorts without the Pull-up. BTW- Eddie doesn't know what happens when Sarah and Ashley are in their room.
George's apology didn't mean much to Eddie because he knew it didn't matter. Eddie loves his dad, but never saw him as a parental figure. George regrets that he wasn't a true father figure, but that's not who he is.
Sarah has no reason to feel remorseful about it. She wouldn't have met Ashley if Eddie hadn't gotten put in diapers. Despite how Tara ended up, she knows it would have been far worse if they hadn't saved Tara from her mother. And she knew that Eddie liked it. Some boys, especially the young and immature, have an involuntary reaction when they find something pleasurable.
Eddie didn't have many options at the start. Short of physically fighting back, his mom was determined to follow through with the program. He ran out of the Doctor's office, but didn't have any place to go. Once they crossed over to July, Eddie could have stopped it by using the bathroom or changing his diaper.
8 minutes ago, Dirty Boy said:So George had the trauma of his mother's death, so he didn't get maternal affection, that's why he relies on his wife in this way to make up for what he missed as a child. It actually makes sense to put it that way.
That's it, although he didn't miss out on it. She died when he was a teenager. He saw the same things in Alice when he first met.

I am less a diaper writer, though I still find the innocence of a child being caught short due to fears, out of their control, or simply just things they don't understand to be something that makes my characters alive.
I see what you're saying, but I don't know any other vehicle you could use in this story. For this work, Corrina has to be submissive, and what is better way for a 9-year-old girl to be submissive than to pee her pants. Diapers are such a powerful vehicle for regression.
I love your stories, but you're stories are darker than mine. But we both invoke the innocence of the main character.

I guess George says so because he must have been traumatized by his parents like Eddie or Tara. i don't know if i'll be able to read his prequel story, i'm too sensitive about stories where children or teenagers are mistreated, probably because of my trauma of never having been a father, which i never got over.
George isn't traumatized by his mom, and wasn't mistreated by his mom. I said that in the story, but that's George deflecting from what happened. He was traumatized by his mother's passing, which is what happened to me.
Without a doubt, the way that Tara and Ashley dealt with their mother is one of the themes of this story. This story could've been very different for both of them without the Conners. It was a unique way of dealing with it, but her mom terrorized her when she tried to be a big kid, and left her alone when she was a baby.
56 minutes ago, Dirty Boy said:I don't have the need or attraction for diapers, but o admit that i would really like a motherly wife who would take care of me. But only if she was very kind and sweet. I hate bossy women.
I clearly have an attraction to diapers, so both Eddie and George were going to end up in diapers at the end. It's the same thing with me and spanking. Notice how Eddie and Tara were never spanked in this story. Instead, I used the playpen.
Quotei would really like a motherly wife who would take care of me. But only if she was very kind and sweet. I hate bossy women.
BTW- that describes Sarah perfectly. Throughout the entire story, Sarah has been motherly and very kind. And you could never accuse of being bossy.

yeah, the paranoia is what makes this a story. If we could just go by fact alone, this wouldn't even be a story. However, the story is supposed to cause each of us to explore our own feelings as we watch Corinna come to terms on how to deal with the problems this creates for her.
I remember how Aids was viewed. Even with the cluster that we just went through, it's hard to explain what it was really like. You've done such a good job portraying it since you introduced it.
You said that your church chapter was clunky, but I didn't notice.
This isn't really a diaper story, but you would need something to replace the diapers and toileting to evoke the same tone. I don't know what else could work.

This experience has probably penalized him in terms of relationships with others as an adult, he will probably hardly get engaged or married, a bit like what happened to me and i suffer a lot for this. Perhaps at most he could have a relationship with a woman similar to his mother, paradoxically.
Eddie spends a lot of time with Nicole, and she isn't gay. I've heard that fathers need to be the man they want their daughters to marry, and to a certain extent that's also true with mothers and sons. It was the case the George, and would also be true with Eddie.
Eddie was always meant to be assexual. At the start, Eddie was anti-girl in the same sense that little boys don't like girls. Now, Eddie has no problems hanging out with girls, but that's because he's spent so much time around them.
One of the things that I want to point out is how functional Eddie, Tara, and George are, despite being babies all the time at home. George has a Podcast. He's not Joe Rogan, but he's making money (a lot). I never said how smart Eddie is supposed to be, but he's like Sheldon Cooper level smart. Most people don't know who Paraag Marathe is, but you may know Jonah Hill's character in Moneyball. That's what Eddie does. He's the reason the Padres traded Juan Soto. Tara's success won't be as public, but she is good at what she does.
Long term: George and Alice will grow old together. She'll change his diapers until she can't anymore, and then Emily will still be there.
I don't know what happens with Eddie and Tara. I don't think either one would have a 'normal' adult life. I haven't, so why should they? Maybe Eddie and Nicole end up together, but Nicole is supposed to be the normal character in this story. She is also the girl who was friends with the kid who wet her pants in Elementary School, so? Tara has been this way for 10 years, so this is a long-term situation for her.
Best case scenario: Ashley passes the bar and joins Alice in her practice, and represents Sarah, who becomes a sideline reporter for ESPN. She also represents Eddie, who becomes an assistant GM. They make enough money that Tara doesn't have to work, but she gets to take down her mom's Youtube channel, exposing her for the fraud she really is.
48 minutes ago, Dirty Boy said:As i imagined, Eddie has distanced himself from his mother, feeling resentment for her and he also hates his younger sister, while he has gotten closer to Sarah. Eddie has been psychologically affected by this experience, since he wants to return to being a child as an adult.
Eddie doesn't hate anybody. I don't think he would even hate Scott if he ever met him again. He is supposed to be neurodivergent, but he's extremely sensitive the tone of other's voices. He knows when their upset, even when it's a mild sigh. For Eddie, that's nearly as bad as being shouted at. On the other hand, hugs and words of affirmation mean the world to him.
He doesn't hate Emily right now. He hated her at the beginning, but that's the same way a child might hate their little sister. She was annoying, and competition for their mom's affection. To be honest, Emily was a hard character for me to find a voice for her. At the beginning, she was bratty, but she was given an extreme diaper punishment and realized she didn't like being a baby. She tried again, and confirmed that she didn't like it, but she likes taking care of them. Babysitting her father might be a little creepy, but it was an extension of being an extension of her mother.
BTW- one of the reasons that Eddie chose to become a baby again is that he was jealous. of the attention his dad got when he visited. Right now, Sarah, Ashley, and Nicole are their primary caregivers, and mom is more of a grandma figure.
I visualize that Christmas with all 5 women happily changing any diaper that needed to be changed, but mom put George to bed, Sarah put Eddie to bed, and Ashley put Tara bed, however, Tara's crib is Emily's room, so Emily was the one who woke Tara up.

Great Chapter. It's such a shame how they are treating Corrina, but they really didn't know a lot about it back then. There was just a huge paranoia around it.

Trains and diapers (Travel)
in Our Lifestyle Discussion
Posted
I've got to give RearZ a massive call out. I was going to order to an Amazon locker, but thanks to advice from this site, I decided to order from Rearz. I ordered on Friday and emailed them to explain my situation (P.S. - it was late Friday, but I'm not sure if they process orders on weekends). They called me today and agreed to delay the delay until Thursday (also the hardest day for me order). So hopefully, I will have my diapers when I get to my hotel Toronto.
