Thanks, everyone
I started off wearing a regular sanitary pad this morning, but I soon got sick of that, so I switched to diapers just before lunch. I only had goodnites on hand, so they will have to do for now, but I will get some others soon. I'm going every hour at the moment and staying as loose as possible in between, so I'm not really flooding too much. It seems to be holding up to multiple wettings which is a good thing! I think the odd leak is just part of wearing diapers though.
I haven't quite decided what I'm going to do at night yet. I didn't end up setting an alarm last night, but out of curiosity I did measure my output when I got up. It was only a fraction over 200ml, so I'm not sure whether it would be worth setting an alarm? I guess I could chug some extra water leading up to bedtime, but that tends to make me feel rather nauseous. I want to wet my bed though, that's one of my greatest desires, so I'm still thinking about this side of things!
Since I'm going to be wearing something 24/7 I think I need to start looking into the personal care side of things more. I haven't really worn for an extended period before, so it wasn't something I paid an awful lot of attention to in the past. At the moment I am using wet wipes to clean myself between changes, but I'm guessing I should use some kind of barrier cream or powder as well? I am also a tad conscious of the smell, especially as the weather is warming up. I will start putting some scented moisturiser on my legs which should help a bit (in my mind anyway).
When out and about, what should I be carrying in my bag? I have some scented bags here for wrapping used diapers, so I will take them with me. Should I be taking a spare pair of pants as well?
