I have similar planning problems. I travel 24 hours UK to NZ every year and I pack three pull-ups and two nappies in my back-pack then I have a bigger carry-on in which I pack as many as possible of both. I am a bit paranoid about running out! but i have found these plastic bags which I can suck all the air out of with a small pump and that way I can carry a lot more than normally. I am also not against telling the airline staff that I need a bigger bag for my inco needs although I have not had to do that yet. Spark, The only problem with restocking is to 9a0 find where to go and 9b0 do they have the ones you want? I guess if you are there for long enoughnyou can preorder and have them delivered to the hotel in advance. One thing is for sure, I am not going to let this minor inconvenience stop me travelling!!!

I bedwet as a child and never slept slept well. Nappies were taken away at the normal 3 years old as my mother thought that waking up wet would make me stop … that did not work!!! At ten I asked her if I could have nappies back again as I really wanted to get a good night’s sleep, that did not work either! But it was the beginning of the ABDL side of my personality. I have wet naturally on and off my whole life (including boarding school) but once I left home I could wear nappies at will. At last I could sleep the whole night through. I am now incontinent (urinary only) and have had the dreaded prostate operation. The surgeon told me I would never be dry, but as I find great comfort from the nappies as well as the practical side I am not concerned. It can be a logistical drag but good planning is all that is needed.

My body seems to save up wee for the night time as I am always super-soaked in the morning. So a nice dry terry nappy and plastic pants are an essential before bed as is a plastic matress cover.

Wet ones! I need to be in nappies all the time now although I have been told by my doctor to let the ‘boy bits’ get some fresh air occasionally, so I am lucky to have a discrete garden where I can be naked with no nappy.

I have carried a crinklz down the aisle of an aeroplane before now and if anyone noticed there was no reaction. I too went to the toilets after a flight at HK airport and heard the tearing of the tapes and the crinkle of a new nappy being put on in the next cubicle. I’m beginning to think most people are in nappies!!!!!!!!

New Zealand will soon be the best ABDL place to visit!! https://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/124132370/no-kids-allowed-adults-playground-mooted-for-christchurch

Thank you, Stroller, this resonates with me so well! There are some disposables that I do like (Rearz and Crinklz mostly) but I too hate the ‘landfill’ aspect, as I explained to my doctor last week when she said that to rid myself of the dreaded ‘nappy rash’, I needed a nappy that wicked the wetness away from my little boy bits. But this “ but for me I prefer a constant reminder that I'm just a little one in a nappy, and having a bulky wedge of dry or soggy nappy between my legs feels just as things should be.” is exactly how I feel, although I could not explain that to the doctor!

I am happy not to be in the UK at the moment. I have spoken with friends there and it is miserable, cold and wet, nappies and all! Wife suffers from the cold so we leave every winter. Happy thought that our UK house is on a hill!!! Hope you keep dry Stroller and an extra pair of plastic pants will keep the water in as well as out!

Me too, last washed a pair of underpants about ten years ago, but the nappies are washed every three days. Hung on the line for all to see (well if you come close to the garden you can see them).

We also had to cancel a trip to Spain last year. I planned to take our sports car so very little boot space. It was a multi stop trip so I had to work out where to get the nappies delivered on my route. It was either that or the wife could take five pairs of knickers and I had the rest of the boot for nappies!!!! Sad we had to cancel, and we won’t be going this year either.

One gets habituated, I guess. Once the wetting was gone I missed it, so an abdl was born.

I have used Suprima for years, they are very good. 1205 for night and 1312 For day over a nice terry nappy. I have bought them from saveexpress in Germany who are great to deal with ... typical German efficiency and now I can get them from nappiesrus.com in Aylesbury UK.

I use terry towelling in the shaped nappies I make. I found some 550gsm (very thick) terry so there is one layer cut out to the shape I like with a soaker strip dow the middle. Then another layer of brushed cotton over that, usually in a childish print, just for fun. Super comfortable, very absorbent and long lasting. I have new ones for night time and as they get older and a bit thinner I wear them in the daytime. They last 3/4 years then I have a cupboard full of cleaning cloths! Suprima plastic pants go over the top. I rarely wear disposables and usually pull-ups if I do. Terry is the best imho!

Long live the dungarees, but I’m on your wife’s side with the red ones!!!Lol. I would still like to push the boundaries a bit and I do like the moomin/tractors idea. My neighbours have all seen my pooh nappies on the washing line which ticked my ‘humiliation’ box, so my new ones have stars or aeroplanes/helicopters. Still babyish but ... thanks Stroller and Wayne and of course Apache.

My plastic pants problem is currently that I wash them with the nappies then hang them on the line to dry in the sun ... big mistake, the elastic isn’t any more, just rather limp and leaky! My annual trip to NZ is usually 4/5 months but with this damn virus thing, I am here for longer. I always bring enough (Suprima 205s and 1312s) for the trip but now I need more. Plastic pants are a rarity in NZ but I’m not sure about ordering some other brand from Aus? Any ideas anyone?

I too do not want to be an embarrassment and the dungarees are as far as I have gone, But I am happy to show the bib front, i have a woodwork shop and they are the most comfortable clothes to wear while working, when out and about I try to have wood shavings all over them! No poppers at the crotch though. just intrigued as to what others wear?

I was brought up on an old fashioned concept of ‘common sense’. It went along the lines of ‘if I wet my pants, I should wear nappies’! Oh, no, wait, should I ask the government?

I was interested in reading about the various onesies everybody hides under everyday clothes, but what visible childish clothes does everybody wear in public? I am now 70 years old but still love to wear ‘young looking’ clothes, but I know I would get negative looks for looking ridiculous. But I do wear dungarees, stripey socks all with a nappy and plastic pants underneath, although they are undetectable. I do have some boarder-line t-shirts but would like some other ideas ....

I have been caught twice by our cleaners. The first time I was at home with a dreadful cold, feeling very sorry for myself, in bed which was very wet as was my nappy. I did not hear the door open and had forgotten that this was her day to clean. She told me in very motherly terms to “get up and have a shower and I’ll change the bed”. I had to get up in a very wet smelly nappy and stagger to the shower in front of her, of course I felt much better after the shower, she had laid out a clean nappy and plastic pants on the fresh sheets, she had even wiped down the plastic sheet on the bed. I spoke to her afterwards about it and it turns out she discovered the nappies months earlier, and I thought I had been so discrete. She had a brother who was disabled and she knew all about incontinence. It turns out she was also a seamstress and she made me some new nappies. All totally true, lovely lady, Freda. The mix of humiliation and excitement is just brilliant! The second was when we moved to the country, (UK) and we had two sisters about 50 something come and clean our rather large house. They discovered my nappies and plastic pants after a couple of months and were very unimpressed. That was much more humiliating than Freda.

My problem also and the septic tank cannot cope!

It’s at times like this that I am pleased I use terry nappies and plastic pants. I make them myself and they are super absorbent (if a little bulky) and last ages. As my friends know I am incontinent from my prostate operation I doubt any will ask. But I do have a small stock of pull-ups which I shall use up ... if I am allowed out. We have just had complete lock-down here in New Zealand, cannot even go fishing!!! But there is loads of food in the supermarket and five huge stacks of toilet paper. I shall order some tenas and see what happens.

i started wearing nappies and plastic pants full time at about 62/63 years old, I’m now 70! I harboured such guilt about my need for them it was dreadful. I did wear them to bed, explaining to my wife that I needed them for my bedwetting. I also tried explaining my desire for them early in our marriage, but she would have no truck with it ... “I married a man ...” etc. People are so much more aware/understanding of these ‘strange proclivities’ now than they were in the 1950s back when my desires started. All those wasted years ....

Well you should be where I Am

I think it unfortunate to blame capitalism for the world’s ills. I think you’re argument ignores the fact the the human being is a competitive creature, he wants to provide for his family and do better than his neighbour. He does that by working harder, being wiser, taking risks etc. It is in our dna. We also like beautiful, useful things, they endow our lives with an uplifting spirit. It makes us creative and energises us. In my view, socialism does not do that. Look at the countries that are driven by socialism, Russia, China and others. They exude no joy, their buildings are dull as are the peoples lives as they are so controlled by the ‘leaders’. There is no creativity, no energy. If you want a good example of a social system working well, look at Bournville or John Lewis in the UK. These companies looked/look after their employees with housing, healthcare etc. They saw the value of a motivated workforce, but they still had to sell their product to pay for the system to work. That’s capitalism. It might need controlling occasionally (although the markets do the controlling very well, ie 2008), but it is how the world works like it or not.
