I think you have a better chance of becoming incon from "global warming". Jeez... **d_drew12: ROFL

*tries to picture an escort signing a contract* I would be a bit leary of using an escort for this particular purpose. If you can't find any AB/DL's in your area have you tried looking in the 'underground' fetish groups locally? For example, there are 2 "nightclubs" here that cater to alternative lifestyle fetishes and subgroups that even are the extremists. In the bar for example, you can find everything from people being dragged around in collars wearing only underwear and a full mask, lots of leather, bears, fursuiters/furries and even the occasional AB and much more. Both men and women. I was introduced once to a D/s couple that used diapers and she obliged me a 'strict Mommy scenario' once. No sex ever has to be involved and that was agreed upon prior. There is a back room that is 'invite only' where the 'dungeon' is. I know this isn't something that you'd find just everywhere but there are alt/subculture groups all over if you look hard enough. And the best part is you don't have to give them a 1099 for taxes! I've only been there a few times but it might be something to look for. There's also a furry group that meets here and I've met 2 Mommies, a Daddy and 4 babies from that group alone. Just an alternative suggestion.

The biggest difference is state-based. My insurance covers a certain amount per month which covers about 2/3's average use and 4/4 use of guards. If I lived in Oklahoma however, I wouldn't be covered. I've seen this question asked on several other forums and the replies are pretty much the same. You just gotta check for your area.

Bobby, I have a daughter that just turned 4 and only once has she pointed and said "Papi, you wearing pampers!" (that was around 3 months ago and has to wear them in the daytime too." She just smiled and said "OK".. that was that. She has seen me wearing only diapers several times before and never said anything about it. A few weeks ago she asked her mommy *uugghh* (while buying her pullups) if she could get some "pretty pink princess ones for Daddy". When asked why she said,"'cuz Papi needs them too an they pretty." My wife was a bit embarrassed from the comment around other people but since then nothing has been said and she knows now it's not something to talk about. While packing for this last weekend for a vacation, I was putting hers in her suitcase and was a little surprised when she saw that and very "matter of factly/politely" asked not to forget mine too. I try to keep it as discreet as possible but all in all it hasn't and doesn't seem to be an issue. babytommy - that's downright adorable hehehehehe

dl247 pretty much already covered what I do. I keep mine in an extra laptop case. Where the laptop goes. For "regular carry" I have 6 diapers 'strapped in' where the laptop goes. The internal storage flap has pre-slashed inserts (Tena Overnight) and in the outside compartments I keep a small powder and meds in one side and wipes in the other. This is perfect for walking in public locations as no one would suspect you to leave your laptop out anywhere so there's no odd glances when carrying it to the restroom. When working abroad for multiple hours at a clients' office, I have no problem carrying 2 LT bags. One for work and the other to take with me to a restroom. Not once has anyone questioned me. For traveling or "play trips" it can be loaded up easily with all kinds of things.

Hi Dougie, man... I can truly relate to what you're going through. When I was initially diagnosed and went through my own little 'heck' I was told afterward that the nerve endings could take 3 to 4 years to regenerate. Personally that time has come and gone with very little result (I am thankful for any degree of improvement) but I have talked to other patients who have reported massive increase in neurological response in much less time! I am looking forward to hearing that kind of news from you in the near future

Hi again babykeiff, Well, I'm definitely not going to argue the fact that it can be a mental failing. And I'm sure you understand IC issues as, from your prof: "I was born incontinent // I have worn since I was eight// I have some control when this is within primary/secondary focus. When I change focus, I loose this." but my personal problem has undergone extensive medical attention from neurologists, urologists and a host of other doctors from a bad car accident. I'm pretty sure they have a "bit" more knowledge and I have learned a LOT about IC issues from this. Your suggestion that I do more research is a bit moot at this point but I appreciate your concern. Yes, UTIs are a warning flag is most other cases but it's not always a 'failure' as they can be caused by several other factors that aren't so drastic. That's why people should see their doctor if they have one. I still don't see what the last reply has to do with the singular point I was making though. You seemed to have disregarded it entirely and gone off on a tangent still in 'attack mode' but instead with a strawman arguement. (In case you're not familiar and so you don't take what I'm saying as 'an insult or attack' the definition is: A straw man is a fallacy in which an irrelevant topic is presented in order to divert attention from the original issue. The basic idea is to "win" an argument by leading attention away from the argument and to another topic.) My statement was simply thus: I do understand your reply to him but there are others who read these posts also and if there is an inaccurate statement made wouldn't you prefer it was clarified? "Bladder wall does not thicken" - yes, it does. On another note, I haven't tried Tena Flex but I have seen more and more pics of them lately. Do they hold up well for nocturnal enuresis? I still have periodic leaks while supine and on my side - Or, are the plastic pants the better overall aid?

I just wanted to acknowledge #17 - "However, since this will affect all nerve impulse from your bladder and surrounding tissue, you also may loose sexual function and/or feeling." This I can attest to personally.

babytommy, when you said "she was ok with it and didn't run off like the others." I wonder how many others went thru the same nightmare and even wished they were 'normal' just from the feelings of knowing you may be alone for a loooong time before finding someone who is accepting. I had that feeling and the depression that came with it for years. Then, unexpectedly I found someone who 'didn't mind it' and even understood my AB side. They are out there and you may be surprised who it is that accepts it. I was dl247, "They have seen it all, and to them we are just another patient." - amen, it's hard the first few times and each time you have to deal with another new unit but after a while it's just "eh, what the heck...." an do it. It is really exciting when you get changed tho I just wish it would happen more often rather than being handed one.

babykeiff, I don't really see the need in "attacking" me when I commented to your post. But allow me to reply to the basics of the posts and in kind to your last reply to see where the 'confusion' was: You said: "It's walls do not thicken. Get the diagnosis rechecked" My reply: "I'm not so sure that's accurate babykeiff," You Said: "I am FULLY aware of the definition of 'bladder wall thickening'" Well, they do and you have a direct contradiction to yourself. In case of 'definition' being the excuse: A "normal" BWT (depending on study group averages) is 3.4mm nonobstructed and 5.3 obstructed. If the bladder wall does not "thicken" then how would you attest to there being a difference? Of course there are debates on this as to ranges but regardless there is still a 'higher' BWT in persons with IC issues compared to others. To answer your next questions, the majority risk/side effects of TURP are temporary but the complications are retrograde ejaculations, TS, or the 'usual' risks associated with any surgery such as infection, clot, reaction to anesthetic etc. I am not sure why you are making an issue of the risks when they aren't common much less are they any worse than most any other procedure's risks. To answer your first question that for some reason you wanted answered last, I am not a physician nor have I implied I was therefore I have not given the procedure. I am medically incontinent and have had extensive tests and procedures done over the years trying to correct it. I have been through many urologists, acupuncture clinics, urinary and neuro specialists and a plethora of scans from MRI's,ultrasounds,CT's,X-Rays,2 endoscopy and had more blood/urine tests to kill a horse. I've had so many UTI's that I have refillable perscriptions and a wonderful bout with epididymitis. In all this time dealing with them and talking with them over personal research done and I've learned enough to even correct some of the "professional urologists" that I've been to. So their degree means about as much as your post trying to decry my subtle suggestion. All in all, I do understand your reply to him but there are others who read these posts also and if there is an inaccurate statement made wouldn't you prefer it was clarified? "Bladder wall does not thicken" - yes, it does. That's my point an I'm stickin' to it

Bad vehicle accident. T-6, 11, 12, L5, S1, dislocated rib behind the L scapula, R hip, both knees have hairline fractures, sacral nerve damage. The miracle is I'm not wheelchair bound but I have no doubt I'll be in a chair in the near future. I learned to be thankful for lots of little things in life but I'm also a fighter and won't give up regardless. I'm still mobile and functional. Been through so many medical procedures my insurance has increased the deductible this year another 4G. My only regret about having to wear diapers is; I'd rather it be because I WANT to. When all this gets fixed there's no doubt I'll still be an ab/DL. We're looking at a sacral stimulator as the next option... I have mixed feelings about it tho. Does anyone have one?

I'm not so sure that's accurate babykeiff, a simple search for "thickened bladder wall" brings up that issue. A personal diagnosis reads: //..../// Computed tomography of the pelvis with contrast. Diagnosis: 1. Markedly thickened urinary bladder 2. Irregular defect in the prostate compatible with previous TURP. Comment; Multiple images of the pelvis were obtained with intravenous and oral contrast...//... The examination demonstrates essentially normal ureters and no evidence of obstruction on either side. The urinary bladder is grossly abnormal demonstrates marked thickening of the wall compatible with severe outlet obstruction. The prostate is small and irregular compatible with previous TURP defect.

Babyfur You scored 16 diaper purity, 45 baby purity, 2 sissy purity, and 64 Furry purity! You love your furry side, but also indulge your baby side too. You probably only do it at conventions though. My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 34% on diaper purity You scored higher than 61% on baby purity You scored higher than 11% on sissy purity You scored higher than 98% on Furry purity Now that's interesting.... Never thought of myself as sissy at all, an figured I'd be higher on diaper purity first, then furry, then baby.. I guess in a way it's pretty accurate since in chat I'm more babyfur, in RL I am pure DL, in RL with friends I want more to be AB but always end up bein' Daddy.
