Stroller

Well I thought I had plenty of places to stash my nappies etc away out of the knowledge of my kids. A big car top box, a metal trunk, a big suitcase, all locked and in the garage. A locked bag under the bed. A hidden cupboard under the bath. Looks like I was wrong! I did the washing yesterday, so all my onesies are under the bed (except the one I'm wearing), leaving no room there. And I've just had a delivery of 2 boxes of Molicares to get me through the summer - that should be enough, together with the pullups I've already got. And everything's full. The topbox is full of Molicares, and the suitcase full of Tena pullups. With 2 bags of Rearz Safaris (for those special days) due to arrive in the next day or two. Oh well, I'll cram them in somehow. Probably posting them one by one under the bath... It made sense to order now, as my daughter's still attending classes before her exams. Soon she'll be home most of the time until September, so deliveries would be riskier. And no, I'm not complaining! It's a lovely little problem to have, being surrounded by nappies, all of which I'll end up wearing. An exciting commitment to the future & it makes me feel very secure. I've never owned quite so many nappies, & I love it.

A onesie. I'm not incontinent, but I want to wear the same clothes I'd wear if I was in a nappy. When my wife's around she doesn't want me to wear a nappy, but she's accepted the onesies. I hate big boy's undies, & find them uncomfortable too.

After 1 marriage & 1 long-term live-in relationship I decided I wouldn't get into another serious relationship without my partner knowing I was an AB. I came out to a girlfriend about 30 years ago, & that was pretty disastrous, although I'm not aware she told anyone else, so it could have been worse. Then 25 years ago I met my current wife. As soon as it looked like getting serious I told her about it. She took it OK, but kept it at arm's length. I had my baby things in a bag in the bedroom, & she knew about that, but I didn't wear when she was around, just when she went away. When we got together we both wanted kids, & I knew I had to show I was responsible enough not to let my AB side affect our ability to raise a family properly. So things stayed like that for 20 years. Now we have 2 girls, & the younger is about to follow her sister & go off to college. I've been spending the past year getting ready for more of an AB life, which I've had to keep on hold for so long. My wife's being very understanding & tolerant, but is not yet involved in the nappy side of things. I'm in nappies whenever she's not around (I'm retired, she works), and she knows and accepts that. We sleep together, & I have my teddy and dummy in bed, & I get breastfed nightly. Whether she'll accept me in nappies when she's around come September when there'll just be the two of us in the house I don't know, & I don't think she does either. She's not ready to talk about that yet, but I think she's hoping she'll be OK with it. I doubt it'll ever get to her changing my nappies, but you never know. And I doubt she'll be that happy about sharing a bed with me in a nappy, but again I could be wrong there too. So, I feel very lucky, & I'm treading carefully, to keep my wife as comfortable with it as I can. Things are changing for us, and it's a big exciting journey for me. I'd love to be wearing all the time, but I've got two people to think about, so it may not ever happen.

In the UK, Dorset Nursing Supplies. I've just ordered a couple of boxes of Mediums for £71-90 including next day delivery. That's 64p per nappy, which I think is a pretty good price for here. You have to tell them you're incontinent to avoid tax, but that's standard in the UK. Nobody's come to test whether I am or not yet! Not even sure myself, actually

Mother's Day here in the UK was March 11 - Mothering Sunday. Been there done that for this year. When is it in the US then?

I have to agree with Mark. I've been in nappies just about all the time for the past year, except when I'm with my wife. She now knows that and has accepted it. Wearing when I'm with her is different from with anyone else. She says I've to wait until September, when our daughter goes off to college. Then we'll see how she can get on with me wearing when I'm with her - it's a big step for her, a much smaller one for me. I wouldn't insist on wearing when I'm with her, as she isn't comfortable with that as yet. If she knows, that will upset her, & if she doesn't know, that's deceiving the person I love most in the world.

Well I do all the washing & ironing, & all my underwear is clean & in the drawer. Mind you, that's because I haven't worn any since last washing day. At the moment I've got some onesies in the washing machine, & more ready for the next load. So to speak.

I need to practice more. I've tried nappying up while standing but found it really difficult. And because I like changing lying down I've been doing that instead at home. Note to self: change standing up at home until I can do it properly. There was less of a problem when I wore pull-ups, even though it meant taking off my trousers & plastic pants. In theory a nappy should be easier to change, as I can leave them round my ankles.

The way the site handles ads is fine by me too. Nothing popping up, nothing flashing. Of course we need them - it's the only way to finance something like this & keep it free to use. If there was a charge for membership, I'd be very surprised if there would be enough active members to keep it working properly. Keep up the good work - I think you already know how much we appreciate it.

Happened to me the other day too. On the other hand I've changed just now having been in the same Molicare nappy for 8 hours, 8am till just before 4pm, & even then it wasn't that full. I've probably drunk more than I usually do too. Mind you, it's been a warm day here. Who wants changing time to be predictable anyway? Not me!

I'm home alone for the weekend so last night after I showered I took a couple of mild laxatives, greased my hollow butt plug up & eased it in. Then it was back in a nappy, terry pants over the top, then plastic pants & my fleecy onesie. Two bottles of warm milk, then took a third up to bed with me. When I woke in the morning went downstairs & got another bottle of milk & took it back to bed to read Harry Potter for a while. There'd been some gurgling down below, but I'd no real idea of what was going on. I wasn't trying to push the plug out, anyway, so it hadn't got clogged. I got up after a while & went to the bathroom to clean up. Turns out there was a lot in my nappy! Anyway, now I'm clean and dry and in a fresh nappy, ready for the day. I love the uncertainty and the total loss of control. No, you can't feel it happening, but that in itself gives me a buzz. I do find it quite difficult to wee when it's in, so it's probably constricting my urethra somewhere, but that's the only downside. As others have said, it's having very loose poo that makes it work. I eat a high fibre diet anyway, & am naturally loose. I take the laxatives (senna) just to reduce the risk of clogging - sometimes it clogs up if I don't. And my plug isn't that big - 1 1/2 inches diameter externally, 3/4 inch bore. I made it myself from a solid acrylic plug. I only use it occasionally, but it's very comfortable however long it's in. I shortened the plug for comfort, drilled the hole down the middle, then sanded it until it was smooth and rounded everywhere. All with hand tools - acrylic is easy to work but mustn't get too hot. Put a cork in the end when you insert one, just in case, & take it out as you nappy up. And you'll need something to clean it out with afterwards. I just use a length of dowel to push tissue through, which does the job well enough.

I dropped a hint to Mummy that I'd like to be taken to the zoo this summer. Hope it happens. I haven't been since I was being a parent, taking my real kids. They're big enough to go on their own now. I'm not. Our local zoo is one of the best - Chester. They're driven by trying to help endangered species, not money.

Just near the end of walking Binkie along the riverbank, & about 50 yards from home, and whoops, it just happened as I was toddling along. Not sure how much, but it wasn't my main poo of the day, as that was earlier. Anyway, I'm in a Safari, & I'm not changing for a while yet. I'm nearly always pretty loose, & pushing is rarely necessary. If my muscles are relaxed, it'll happen unless I want to stop it. Today...I didn't!

I'm expecting that day will come, & if it does then I'll own up to having a psychological need to wear them, ie I'll tell the truth. I won't go looking for it of course. But, if I end up not being fully confident in my continence, which may well happen if things go the way I hope, & I need a camera up my backside again, then what option would I have? The important thing is to get the medical care we need without imposing anything on the doctors & nurses unnecessarily. They're busy people.

I'd agree with that, although I find formula pretty horrible & avoid the sweet drinks - as my kids did when they were little. Buy a baby bottle with a big teat - if you like it you can swap it out for a proper AB teat later. Fill the bottle with milk, 60 secs in the microwave, & relax to your favourite cartoons. Repeat until bedtime. Works for me, & I'll be doing just that later today as I'm home alone this weekend.

Just back from my first visit to the medical centre for an examination while wearing a nappy. It was just to clean out my ears, so there wasn't any reason to worry. I wore a pullup (that stayed dry until I got home) & had undone the poppers on my onesie just in case I was asked to take it off. I'd tucked my pullup & plastic pants well indie my shorts as well. No need for that though, as I expected. And now I can hear properly too! If I have to go for an examination any further south, I'll be digging out my big boy's undies though. Unless I get to a point where that's too risky. Which is where I'd like to be.

This never happens to me, & I think that's because I always wear plastic pants. It doesn't seem to matter which nappies or onesies, although I don't have any onesies that ride up tight, as they'd be too uncomfortable anyway. If I wet too much for the nappy, then the elastic on the pants gets wet first - usually I get changed quick then. Only after I don't change after that warning will my onesie or trousers get wet. The elastic on the pants doesn't get wet normally. These are thin polyurethane pants, with the elastic (rather than plastic) next to my skin, as that irritates my skin least.

Congratulations for getting all that sorted out. I'm in the process of trying to achieve the same thing, more or less. Good luck with it all, & welcome back!

Some kids want to know everything & find everything. I know, I was one of those kids. Because of that I was very careful when the kids were younger. Don't assume they won't notice things, or that if they say nothing it hasn't had an impact on them. Australian fathers maybe - I don't know any. Please don't paint us all with that brush though.

Well they're doing something. The blogs look different from yesterday anyway. Not sure that affects many people though!

That's interesting, as I don't remember that sort of thing happening here in the UK, & I haven't seen references to it in television programmes or books. No doubt it happened occasionally, but kids tended to be watched over by parents or older brothers or sisters. Reins were very much for outings, for instance a walk to the shops. Toddlers don't want to stay in their pushchairs once they've started walking, so when they go restless they walked alongside, holding on, supported by reins held by, usually, mummy.

Right - those are the ones I found online ages ago (not a US site - my mistake). Never bought any though - I retired instead!

Thanks Mick. It's actually technical fabric onesies I'm looking for, for hiking. I can get good cotton ones from Racketys, but I can't find any artificial fibre onesies other than the bodysuit.com ones. Cotton's great for everyday use, but not much good for hiking as it retains so much moisture from sweat & rain. The link you've posted only seems to show cotton onesies.

My childhood bear went AWOL from the family home after I'd left at 17. I'd had him in my bed until I left home for a fairly itinerant life for a year before I went off to college. He got thrown out in a house move while I was at college. Nearly half a century later, buying my new Teddy was a big step for me. He symbolised a sort of coming out for me. The decision that I was finally going to be in nappies whenever I could, & be as much of a baby as I wanted, as long as it didn't upset anyone else too much. That trip to the Teddy shop was so important to me. He's upstairs in our bed now, & if I'm away from home overnight he comes along, whether my other half is going or not. I never had a collection of bears, & never wanted one. One Teddy's all I need. ... & perhaps a Moomin or two now I think about it...

OK thanks very much willnotwill. I'll proceed with caution.
