Mr. Sea Otter

It's been a while, but I smoked a lot of weed when I was in college. I never tried LSD but I did take mushrooms a number of times as well. Others have done a decent job describing the benefits. All I can say is that I am a better person as a result. And all my close friends say the same thing. I'd try to explain why, but I suspect it wouldn't make a difference to any one here.... most folks minds are already made up. Your own mileage may vary.

I fly a lot....I've had platnium or gold status as a frequent flier for over 5 years now. I wear diapers 24/7 and always carry a couple of spares with me in my carry on baggage. In all my time flying I have never once had anyone from TSA ask me about my diapers, or make me take my clothes off or even so much as blink. And this includes times when I did have my carry on searched by hand, or when I went through the new body scanning machines, or when I have had a pat down and 'additional screening'. They have seen my diapers, both in my bag, and on my body and they just dont care.

My ex-wife used to call it 'packaged'. Current girlfriend doesn't really use any code word, just calls it a diaper.

Looks like they are still out of stock on all their x-plus products. Kind of a bummer, I liked the Secure X-plus diaper and found them really useful for when I wanted a non-DL looking diaper. Granted that wasn't all that often, but it did have its time and place.

I bought a 10 pack a while ago and have tried a few of them out. I will say they are in my opinion the cutest diapers I have ever worn. They are probably also the most absorbent. I had a few beers and wet over and over without any problems at all. These things really do hold a lot.... in fact they are absorbent to a level that, in my opinion, is kind of beyond useful. Sure they hold like a gallon of water, but nobody really wants to wear a 10 pound diaper. At least I dont. I didn't have any problem with the fit like some people have said, and the tapes were not an issue either. I actually think its a great diaper and would be happy to wear them all the time except for the price. But given the costs these will just be an occasional diaper for me... I doubt I will ever buy any more unless the cost comes down considerably.

One other thought I had. We often complain that people don't understand us, and that people think we are crazy. We get upset when yet another nutjob gets caught stealing diapers, or arrested in the park with nothing on but a wet diaper and we say its no wonder people think we are nuts. Well, so long as we all stay in the closet, nothing is going to change. I'm not saying we all need to come out, that's up to each individual person. But until people hear about, and meet, "normal" ABs and DLs, well, you can figure it out. I feel confident that everyone I have ever told now knows that there are 'perfectly normal' people who into this.

I have told many people. My sister, various girl friends, a few regular friends. Other people also know about it, including my parents, and its fine. I agree 100% that this isn't something that you need to share with most people, but I feel just as strongly that this shouldn't be something you "have to take to the grave with you". Honestly, I feel bad for people who don't have friends that are open minded and accepting. I'm not judging, I just don't understand why you can't share something that (at least for me) is a really big part of who I am, with somebody who really loves you. This has been with me for as long as I can remember (like 3 years old). Its not my fault I am this way, I didn't chose to be like this. As such, I'm not ashamed of it, I am not embarrassed by it. I think keeping something that is this big (at least for me) a secret for my entire life is just wrong. I also know its not how I want to live. I think a lot of people on this forum come from conservative backgrounds or something... I did not. The people in my life are not looking to judge or condemn people for being different. The lessons I was taught as a child were to love thy neighbor, not judge thy neighbor. One final thought.... ask yourself this: The people who are out and open, at least to some degree, about their AB/DL side... do they seem happier about it then those who will never tell a living soul? Who seems better adapted at meeting other people and having healthy dating lives? Who has a better self esteem and healthy self image? Who feels more in control of this part of them? I don't know the answer to that question, but its a good one to think about.

I am not sure about using diapers, but spanking, sure. Take a look at all the info out there on domestic discipline... its real and it can work. I've had a couple of relationships where we gave this a try. It has its limits and isn't the right tool for all problems, so depending on what you mean by 'change your ways' it may or may not work. But let just say I am really good about not leaving the toilet seat up anymore!

Just don't use your diaper while you are at work. Or wait until the very end of the day and use it before you leave if you can. I wear all the time and find it a lot easier to just not use at work rather than try to change at work.

Thanks for all the replies and stuff folks. I was out camping with some friends and am just now getting back to trip. I love Champions League, but the early rounds are not as interesting as the later ones. More importantly, I won't be in London for either Match Day 1 or 2. My London time is really limited to the 23rd to the 26th on this trip as we will be traveling elsewhere for much of the rest of the time. If all else fails I guess I could go to an Aston Villa game, but I really was hoping to see a big team in a big match. Its a bummer tickets are so hard to come by.... is there a market for tickets someplace? I know we have stuff like stubhub.com here in the states, but I think the laws and stuff are different over there. Am I wrong? I only need two tickets.... :-( I'm also still not sure about ordering diapers over there. I need to figure out where we are going to be staying and decide if I am willing to ship it to a place. I understand though... its not like you can really buy good diapers at a store here in the states either.

I've ordered from them for years and have no complaints. They have always charged around $50 for most of their stuff. As for shipping, its not exactly descrete if I recall, but its not over the top either. But given that they advertise in magazines and skymall and stuff, I don't see why they would really need to be descrete. Bottom line is that I would highly recomend them.

I felt it for sure. Our building was eventually evacuated and we were sent home. Lots and lots of jokes about people being so scared the crapped their pants. I saw a guy on the bus ride home who wither spilled a pit of water on his lap or.... Personally I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but I grew up in California. However, there were a few picture frames knocked over at home and stuff, so it was bigger than even I thought. Anybody else have stories?

On the diaper front, I think I will be able to bring enough over to last me for at least the first part of the trip, which is to London. Later we are going north to Scotland, and if I was going to buy any diapers, it would probably be there. Any intel on diapers in Scotland? Aielen seems to indicate that they might be easier to find up there than in London. Tena sounds like a popular brand.... what are some of the other popular ones? Abena and Molicare are the only two other brands I have heard of. What do UK DLs wear these days? I'm not sure how feasible it is going to be to try and order something online and then have it shipped some place. We will be staying with my girlfriends family a few nights, and I don't think I want to ship anything to their house. We will be in hotels most of the time, but I don't know which ones just yet. I guess I will cross that bridge if we get there.

Yup, the 24th vs Swansea. That's the game I'm hoping for. I figure Swansea is not the most popular team so if I am going to have any hope of seeing a game I figure that's it. If you are a season ticket holder, maybe we could work out a deal? Like ill give you a pack of Bambinos, or ABUniverse diapers of your choice for 2 tickets (plus pay for the cost of the tickets obviously). I'm totally serious, so if you are interested drop me a line. :-)

I'm really excited about an upcoming trip to the UK with my girlfriend. We are going to be there for a couple of weeks. Planning to spend a few nights in London and then head to Scottland for a while. I was hoping that some of you from the UK could help me with two questions I have. 1- 2+ weeks is a lot of diapers to try to bring. Are there stores that sell good quality diapers over there? Or do you need to order on line for good stuff? I typically use Bambinos or Abenas. I head the UK version of Attends is quite nice though. Bottom line is that I will need to buy a pack or two while over there and would love some suggestions. 2 - I want to watch a Chelsea game while I am in London. Do all their games sell out fast? Or is it pretty easy to get tickets so long as you do it in advance? I love football and really would love to see a game at Stamford Bridge! Thanks for any help!

Outside of making arrangements for life insurance and other $ issues, I have done nothing to prepare for death. I certainly have not done anything to make arrangements for somebody to come and toss all my diapers and stuff. My family all know I wear diapers, so I don't really see the point. I understand others are not in my situation though. :-)

I had other plans for that weekend and was out of town. But otherwise I would have gone. I'm in DC if you ever make it out this way. Lil_angel, nice to see some other DC folks around here. :-)

I was in Maine just last weekend.

Morv, you always have great posts. I'm with you. I will say that I have decided that in a lot of circumstances, discretion isn't really needed. For the most part, I just don't care if people see my diaper anymore and I don't go to many lengths to hide it. There are times when I know that people could see it if they happen to be looking at just the right moment (like I bent over to pick up something I dropped) and I just don't care. There are major exceptions to this of course and I do occasionally go to great lengths to make sure nobody can tell. But I never have tried to show off my diaper in the hope of 'shocking somebody' or in hopes that somebody would offer to be my mommy or any such fantasy like that.

I pick and choose depending on the circumstances. I wear pretty much 24/7, but don't always wet. Some days, most days, I'm at work and will not use the diaper until I am on the way home or close to it. Other days, like weekends or vacation, I'll just go whenever. On days like that I can pee 10 -20 times a day or more. My body knows the difference I guess. When I need to hold it, I can hold it. When I don't need to hold it, I really can let go and it comes out all the time.

Hurts a lot less when my girlfriend swats me on the butt.

That's actually not true at all. Many suicidal people will tell you about how they plan to do it.

I took me a long time before I finally wet the bed without waking up, but I did finally train myself to do it. It doesn't happen very often, but it does still occasionally happen. It always make me smile when I wake up and am like 'whoa, when did that happen!?' Drinking a lot of water right before bed seems to help a lot.

Divorced over diapers? Yea, been there done that unfortunately. I'm not interested in really going over the whole story, but diapers supposedly did play a role in the ending of my marriage. My wife was 100% aware of my diaper side years before we got married though, so its hard to really say how much of a role it really had. But divorce sucks, its a tough thing to go through. All I can tell you is to really take care of yourself during this time. Eat well, get massages, see old friends and be patient, it takes a lot of time. There is life after divorce though, I am already in my second relationship, and diapers are out in the open. I don't want to judge others, but I personally would never be in a relationship where diapers had to be a secret.... I just don't see how I could hide something like that from the person I loved. Good luck to you!

I wear diapers pretty much 24/7 by choice and that includes at work. I work in management in an office setting... cubicle land essentially. I don't really like changing at work, so I generally will either hold off and wet near the end of the day, or just use a toilet if I have to. The diapers come on and off pretty easily. I have never had anyone say anything, give me a funny look or anything like that at all. I wouldn't be shocked if somebody had noticed at some point, but they have always kept their mouth shut. And frankly, even if people did notice, nobody would care or ask me what the heck I was doing in a diaper. edit: Forgot to add that I wear either Bambino Teddys or ABU Cushies with a booster.
