...but wearing another diaper after having cleaned up can help containing the smell, and avoid getting your underwear smelly No matter how many times I wash after a messy diaper, if I immediately switch to regular underwear, it's going to slightly smell when I take it off. Diapering up again with plenty of cream helps taking the smell away. Another trick that I surprisingly found to work quite well is using hair conditioner on the stinky area.

Diapers + skater boy outfit always make a wonderful start for a gorgeous set of diaper pics, at least in my eyes I had a look at your diaperspace profile and there's no reason in the world you should have a poor self image! I don't have specific requests, but the best suggestion I can give is to be creative and avoid cliché shots, putting things in a context and making the diaper a part of it, instead of considering the diaper the only subject of the shot as too many people seem to do.

So totally true. If I go to bed undiapered, I tend to limit my liquid intake because I hate being waken up by the feeling of my bladder bursting and the impossibility to relieve myself unless I get out of bed and to the toilet. When I'm diapered, I drink even more than I'd need to because I want to fill my diaper during the night. It's not like I need diapers to bed, but when I wear I get to sleep better and knowing it's good for my health is for sure an incentive. So, even not needing a reason to wear to bed, I can find several good ones just at a glimpse RMS, I feel for you...

Being myself merely DL and not AB, "one-tape-per-side" diapers have no appeal on me. For how well a single tape can be adjusted, I doubt it'll provide the same snug fit that is commonly achieved in other adult diapers with two tapes per side, which is quite essential if you actually fill your diaper to its maximum containment potential like i do I wouldn't mind trying the 3-tapes per side configuration too, alas we don't have any good diapers of that kind in Europe.

It would be nice if they had an European distributor, I'm really eager to try them but it seems the only way to do so would be having them shipped overseas from xpmedical, which I fear would cost more than the diapers themselves...

I personally like mine, but I've not tried smelling someone else's yet.

I've had a fetish for disposable diapers since my mind has thoughts of its own. I like how they look, how they feel, the smell, the crinkle, having a full one on, and the feeling of a new one after having just changed. If I stay some days without wearing, I start dreaming about them, and when I do it's always sexual. It's just a part of me as well as any other side of my personality. Since I started buying quality brand ones a few years ago, I'm also appreciating the comfort of not having to wake up at night if I need to go #1 or #2. The increased diaper usage has led me to being more sensitive of my bladder status (= even though I can hold it as much as before, I feel I have to go way earlier, and I'm uncomfortable until I can't relieve myself), and this has led me to more wearing. A vicious (or virtuous) circle, or something like that

First of all cream, a lot of it, especially if I'm planning to wear for a good number of hours (i.e. nighttime). Then I clean my hands with wipes, to avoid ruining the tapes' stickyness. And finally, I put my diaper on, and most of the times plastic pants over it.

Back on topic... Abriform X-Plus medium, with Abri-Let maxi doubler, and pvc pants from Airoliver. My favorite nighttime combination!

It mostly depends on what I have to do during the day. If I'm staying home and I'm not doing anything that involves having other people around me, given I averagely go #2 at least 2-3 times within the first hours I'm awake, the best option is simply keeping myself diapered until I'm empty. If I wake up late, this could mean not changing until mid-afternoon when I can clearly hear the diaper begging for mercy!

No, No, None. But some time ago I had a look at their site, and ROFLed a bit browsing the profiles of the "mommies" they offer xD

Hello and welcome on DD! I'm from near Milan, and some years ago I chatted with a DL guy that was from the same town you say to be from in your flickr profile.

"Having done" a photo set could also mean being the photographer who took the shots... which seems more likely to me

Excuse me but I don't see how my statement and yours could possibly disagree. In fact what you said about the retraining process is exactly what everyone else (me included) is saying. Maybe I didn't explain myself correctly, but that was exactly what the "tunnel of problems, medical tests, etc" was all about. What didn't seem very logic to me was that, after going for years in the direction of diapers 24/7/365 with all the consequences of the case, someone decides to invert the direction and go back where he was before starting with diapers, given that the retourn journey is all but pleasant and - as Diapered1964 pointed out - the results can be very far from the full continence. But with that said it's obvious that anyone has the right to choose what's best for himself, and far from me the idea of changing peoples' minds.

Sweet!

I remember your story very clearly, and I pretty much agree with Creepymouse when he says 'you get what you wish for'. Don't get me wrong, I am myself a person that happens to desire things and then stops wanting them when they're in my hands, so I have an idea of how that can be for you. But, instead of damning yourself for getting out of the situation you've stuck yourself into... have you tried just accepting it, as if it was a matter of fact? I mean, you've been wearing diapers 24/7 on purpose for some years, this way you've showed your body what it feels like to be free from the necessity of retaining wastes, and there must be a reason if in some way your body has decided on its own that he likes very much the idea of emptying anytime it needs to, since it clearly doesn't seem to intend going back to holding it. Since when, last year, you first started describing your problems and said you intended to seek medical advice for retraining yourself out of diapers, it seemed to me you were putting yourself in a tunnel of problems, medical tests, etc... that seeing your update doesn't seem to be coming to an early end, requires time and effort to be carried on, and can potentially lead to frustration if on the long run things don't go as you expect them to do. And for what? Just because you've decided that you don't intend anymore to take advantage of the fact you're in diapers 24/7 but your body seems to disagree with that. Think about this: sometimes being coherent with ourselves can be the simplest of things... My best wishes for anything you decide to do, and keep us posted with your progresses!

I'm too a DL but not an AB, and I like to use my diapers for their intended purposes.... plus some extra "fun" from time to time....

In a proper diaper booster like AbriLet you don't need to cut holes, since diaper boosters DON't have any plastic backing and are specifically designed to be put inside a disposable diaper. If the products you're using have a plastic backing, they're not the right ones to be used as boosters. I use AbriLet maxi and they let the wetness pass like they were part of the diaper, spreading it in an uniform way. I suggest you to try proper diaper boosters, it's the only way to be able to add to your diaper the absorbancy you like without having the hassle of cutting holes and risking that the wetness remains in the pad without reaching the diaper.

Since when I realized it's only because of cream that tapes don't hold, I do this way: - put cream on myself - wash accurately my hands with water&soap - put the diaper on, keeping a moist towel nearby so I can promptly clean my fingers if they come in contact with the cream on my body, before touching the tapes or the "tape-landing" areas. Being careful in following this procedure I avoided nearly 100% of the problems deriving from tapes that don't stick enough.

You're welcome! The AbriLet Maxi are specifically designed to be used as stuffers, since they have no plastic backing. In German, the definition is "Ohne folie" (= without plastic backing). http://www.airoliver.de/save/index.php?cat...oduct=02-403501

I have a bluetooth capable cellular phone but the bluetooth is always off, since it uselessly consumpts a lot of battery!

Have you tried www.airoliver.de ?? They have a huge choice of diapers, and great stuffers too (I recommend Abena Abri-let maxi).

I'm quite hairy too "down there", but I find that properly washing when I change my diaper after having done my business is more than enough. If you plan to clean yourself using only wipes it's another story but, as soon as you have the possibility to wash with running water, pubic hair is not that much of a hassle.

I use diapers for their intended purposes so, yeah, both #1 and #2. Moreover, I tend to wear thick diapers so I don't have to change too often, and when #2 time comes, I think it's quite pointless to remove the diaper, go to the toilet, and put it on again, basically a waste of time!

First of all..... welcome back! And me thinks: don't worry! It happens to me too, expecially when I'm in a stressful period, with many thoughts about work and other stuff. Actually, I think I'm in one of those phases right now. I feel as I'd like to have some time to spend in diapers without stressful thoughts, but at the same time I don't feel like wearing, being focused on other things. Sometimes I wear at night, but that doesn't change much since while I sleep I barely feel the difference between being diapered or not, and it's more of a convenience for avoiding to wake up to go to the toilet while I'm in bed. So, IMHO there's no need to worry about it, it can be only a period you're feeling this way, and even if there's no reason for that, as time goes by you'll probably regain your usual attraction to diapers. After all, so many people have tried repressing their feeling for diapers on purpose and without success, that I see as fairly improbable to stop desiring them without even wanting to. Let us know how it goes on!
