Incontinent DL

I love the sound of my polyurethane plastic pants! I can hear them rustle under my jeans, but no one else has ever noticed them. They're too noisy to wear under slacks in public though. Then I wear vinyl or waterproof nylon.

I wear cloth diapers, so always wear plastic panties over them. I prefer polyurethane because they are very comfortable and last a long time. In hot weather I wear waterproof nylon made from polyurethane laminate (PUL) because they breathe a little. I'd like to try some Gortex panties, but I've never seen any.

I have urge incontinence, but I’m also a diaper lover now too. Sometimes it’s difficult for me to tell where the need for diapers ends and the desire begins. If I try to go without diapers, I have close calls, accidents and misery. If I wear 24/7, many days I’m able to stay dry. I really haven’t tried to go without diapers for probably 20 years. Becoming a diaper lover just came naturally and makes it a lot easier to deal with the downsides of wearing diapers. Those are isolation from women, economic impact, heat and sweat in the summer, occasional rashes and always the risk of embarrassment. But it beats the heck out of the alternatives.

I also love to masturbate in my diaper; that’s how I do it most of the time. I usually make myself cum once in the morning before I go to work and once at night before I go to sleep. I use a massager on the outside of my plastic pants until I ejaculate into my clean cloth diaper. I like to feel my warm semen on my smooth mons before it’s absorbed by the cloth. When I’m not living alone, I prefer regular sex. Several girlfriends have rubbed me off in my diaper though, and I like to remember those times when I get myself off. I’ve pretty much given up on the idea of finding someone who is okay with me having to wear diapers long-term.

Hi All, I wake up about four out of five nights that I wet. I keep a urinal next to my bed because if I try to get up to use the toilet, I flood my diaper anyway. I’m more comfortable sleeping in a dry diaper, so I use the urinal when I can. The rest of the time I just wake up in a wet diaper. I use cloth diapers and plastic pants, and almost never have a leak. This week sucked though. I had a rash and wore an “overnight” pull-on disposable so I wouldn’t get Desitin all over my regular diapers and plastic pants. My diaper leaked all over my clean sheets and mattress pad. Then last night, my urinal tipped over after I had used it, so I had to get up and clean up the mess. Being a bed wetter is such a hassle at times! Maybe the worst part is being so isolated; there are no women near my age in Oregon who wear diapers or are willing to put up with my situation. But then I think of other people who have other afflictions that are so much worse and realize how well-off I am!

I usually try to avoid having to change my diaper in a public place. I wear thick pull-on cloth diapers and plastic pants, and usually can make it to the restroom in time. One of the most common places for me to have a wetting accident is when I’m stuck in traffic or can’t make it to a rest stop. I have a pickup with a shell with tinted windows, so when I find a place to park, I just go in back to change. We have a private restroom at work, so I don’t have a problem there. I carry my jacket with a diaper inside when I go in and come out. I put my diaper in a plastic bag before I come out. When I worked where there were multi-stall restrooms, I used pin-on or Velcro diapers. When I wet myself while shopping, I just wait until I get home to change. My diapers are absorbent enough to hold a couple of wettings.

I just rinse my plastic pants out with a handheld shower and hang them to dry over the tub. I usually don’t let them sit too long with urine in them though. On the rare occasions when my plastic pants have an odor, I hand wash them in the sink with Ivory bath soap and rinse them a couple of times before hanging them up. The kind of plastic in the pants seems to make a difference too; vinyl holds more odor than polyurethane.

I wear pull-on cloth diapers and plastic pants 24/7. My diapers have two layers of terry inside a flannel shell, so they’re not particularly thin. I used to wear Wrangler pro-rodeo jeans, and I occasionally got curious glances because they were too tight. I switched to Wrangler relaxed fit jeans, and they completely conceal my diapers! Since I started wearing them, no one has noticed. I don't leave my shirt out either. I tuck it in, but leave the bottom a little loose to match my pants. When I dress up, I wear pleated slacks, and again, no one has noticed my diaper. I wear polyurethane plastic pants, and they have a reputation for being noisy. I was self conscious when I started wearing them, but I’ve worn them for over five years and no one notices them. If I listen carefully, I can hear them under my jeans, but now the sound is reassuring to me because I know I’m protected. When I wear slacks, I use waterproof nylon or vinyl pants because they are silent. I just don’t worry about people discovering my diapers any more.

I’ve noticed that several stores no longer carry regular adult diapers; all they have is pull-on underwear. They’re offering pull-on underwear that absorbs much more, and many have gussets. They claim that they’re for day and night use. I tried some when I was on vacation, and they worked fine as long as I didn’t lie on my side. First they took away plastic-backed diapers, now it appears that they’re getting rid of diapers completely! I wear cloth diapers and plastic pants day and night, so I don’t have to worry about the changing trends in disposable diapers. But I do feel sorry for people that like reliable disposable protection that they can change easily.

I still have some Sears’s flannel-lined snap-on plastic pants and the snap-in liners that I bought in 1984. The elastic is pretty loose, but the vinyl is still soft. I always liked them and have never had a good reason to get rid of them, even though I hardly ever wear them.

I wear pull-on cloth diapers with two layers of terry in the center and plastic pants, so I don’t have to worry about leaks. I drink plenty of water, keep my diaper area hairless and use cornstarch baby powder, so odor isn’t really a problem. That leaves bulk and noise. I wear polyurethane plastic pants, and they ARE noisy. I used to be very self-conscious about it, but I’ve found that no one hears them but me. I guess if someone did hear them and asked me about the crinkle, I’d just tell them that I have to wear plastic pants. In a way, hearing them has become reassuring, because it makes me aware that I’m wearing them. My diaper bulge is substantial, at least to me. Again, almost no one seems to notice. I have a 34 inch waist and wear 36 inch relaxed fit jeans or 36 inch pleated slacks over my diaper. I can remember three times when people have stared at my crotch. I just ignored them and let them think what they want. That may make me sound brave, but there really wasn’t anything else I could do.

I agree with AutieAB and InDpnds! I feel very vulnerable and insecure if I don’t have my diaper on. If I’m not wearing my diaper, I am distracted by having to CONCENTRATE on maintaining bladder control. I just wear them all the time.

I wear thick pull-on cloth diapers with plastic pants day and night. When I wet, my bladder usually empties. I wear relaxed fit jeans or pleated slacks to conceal my diaper bulge. I’m usually able to change before there’s too much risk of leaking. But that’s why I wear thick diapers in the first place!

I prefer dry diapers because I hate diaper rash, but I don’t mind wearing wet diapers for a while (less than two hours). When I wet my diaper, I love the secure feeling of being protected. It makes me glad that I have my diaper on, and makes up for the hassle of wearing them 24/7. Under the right conditions, a warm wet diaper can be erotic, but I don’t get to choose the conditions very often.

I used to shave my pubic hair, but after several years got tired of having to shave every day and having stubble every night. I tried waxing several times, and it DID hurt, but each time hurt less and was easier. My hair came in much softer and thinner. After waxing for a while, I switched to using an epilator (electric disk tweezers). The epilator barely hurt because my hair was so sparse after waxing. Now I epilate once a week and it feels about like shaving. I love being smooth down there because I can just use a Wet One to clean up when I change my diaper, it’s easier to apply Desitin or baby powder, I hardly ever get diaper rash, my plastic panties don’t pull my hair, I have less odor, and I can feel my soft cloth diapers against my skin better! I’m definitely a fan of keeping it bare down there! I suspect that a lot of adults who wear diapers shave their diaper areas for many reasons.

I too have thought that I might be strange for feeling so vulnerable if I’m not wearing a diaper. I’m relieved (and grateful) to hear that there are others who feel the same way. I have urge incontinence and usually get enough warning to make it to the bathroom in time. But sometimes I can be standing in my bathroom washing my hands and suddenly flood my diaper before I can even turn around and use the toilet! Or I can make it all the way home dry on my commute and wet myself while I’m walking from the carport to the house or unlocking the door. Because I never know when I’m going to need my diaper, I have to wear one on all the time! Even if I stopped having bladder contractions without warning, I’d probably still feel the same though. I’ve been diaper-dependant for so long that it would be difficult to trust myself.

Wow! That’s really scary! A healthy woman up the road from me bumped her leg a few weeks ago and got an infection that targets muscle tissue. They started excising tissue as it spread, but it overwhelmed her system and she died within two weeks! There are more instances of antibiotic-resistant staphylococcus showing up all the time. I guess we can’t assume that a diaper rash is just a rash. Sometimes when I get a diaper rash that is particularly persistent, I put an extra waterproof pad and towels on my bed so I can sleep without having my diaper on. If the combination of air at night and Desitin during the day doesn’t work, I’d see my doctor. Fortunately, my diaper rash has never gotten that bad. I hate diaper rash and do what I can to prevent it! I wash my diaper area twice a day with Ivory soap. I remove all my pubic hair so it’s easy to stay clean; I just use a Wet One or a washcloth when I change my diaper. It also makes it much easier to apply cornstarch baby powder or Desitin. I use cloth diapers because disposables often irritate my skin. I’m experimenting with wider elastic bands on my plastic pants to reduce irritation on the inside and backs of my legs. Sometimes I use waterproof nylon panties, which breathe a little, to try to stay drier. Any suggestions?

I have urge incontinence, and sometimes I can’t make it to the toilet in time. Sometimes I get a couple of minutes warning, and other times I get five seconds warning before I get bladder contractions that are too strong for me to hold. I start wetting my diaper and can’t stop until the contractions stop. Often, that’s when my bladder has emptied. When this happens, I “flood” my diaper. I wear thick cloth diapers and plastic pants all the time, so my diaper doesn’t leak. If I can’t change my diaper right away, the cloth wicks and distributes the wetness so it doesn’t just pool in the bottom of my plastic pants.

It seems to me that the absorbent material, which is a paper product, and the gel which is also used in some potting soil, could be buried. That would leave the liner and backsheet, which are both petroleum products, to carry out or burn. Any comments?

I wear cloth diapers and plastic pants 24/7 for urge incontinence. I’ve found that using hot water and adding about ¼ cup of borax to a load of diapers gets them clean. If I’ve been having a problem with odor, I spray my diapers with vinegar before I put them in the dryer. The vinegar dries in the cloth and makes a less hospitable place for bacteria to grow. Less bacteria gives you more time after wetting before it grows and starts smelling. I only wash my diapers about once a week, so I pour a little vinegar on my diapers when I put them in my diaper pail (I don't soak my diapers). I’m rarely attacked by diaper pail smell. I switched from vinyl to polyurethane plastic pants because they last longer and don’t seem to hold odors. All I usually have to do is rinse them off. If they smell, I hand wash them with Ivory hand soap and hang them to dry over the tub. I use a pants hanger with horizontal rods to hang them upside down by the crotch so they drain easily. Another thing that helped me a lot was to get rid of my pubic hair. There’s a lot less surface area for bacteria and it’s a lot easier to keep clean. I stared by shaving, but that got to be a hassle, so now I use an eplilator (electric tweezers) once every week or two. It hurt at first, but has been worth it for me. Besides almost completely eliminating odor, I almost never get diaper rash any more. When I do, it’s a lot easier to put on Desitin now too. I don’t know if it helps with odor control, but I use cornstarch baby powder, and it’s a lot nicer to put on with no hair. I’ve cut back on garlic and onions a bit too, because they can make urine smell stronger. If I had to guess, I’d say that keeping odor down is about 2/3 clean diapers and 1/3 clean skin. Keeping diaper odor down doesn’t have to take a lot of time, effort or money, but it does seem to take constant attention to details.

Since I have urge incontinence, I usually wet heavily. I use pull-on cloth diapers with plastic pants day and night. My diapers have two layers of terry through the crotch and multiple layers of flannel over the terry. They’re expensive and the price just went up, so I don’t know what I’ll do when the ones I have wear out. The advantage of pull-on diapers is that I can pull them down quickly. Sometimes at night, I wake up enough to know that I need to urinate. But if I sit or stand up, my bladder contracts and I wet my diaper anyway. I keep a portable urinal within reach next to my bed, and lots of times I can use it and keep my diaper dry. During the day I can pull the front of my diaper down quickly at a “public” urinal just like regular underwear. No one knows I’m wearing a diaper. When I wear pin-on diapers, I have to find a stall, pull down my plastic pants, unpin one side, being careful not to drop the pin, and hold my pants up. The extra time often results in a flooded diaper, so I wind up having to change instead of just using the toilet. Of course a drawback of cloth diapers is that they are bulky. I just wear pleated slacks or relaxed fit jeans a size or two larger and no one notices my diaper bulge. If you get used to wearing cloth, you’ll probably find that they’re much more comfortable than paper. If you’re determined to wear disposables, you might try wearing terry-lined plastic pants over them. That way, when your diaper leaks you’ll still have some protection.

I wear cloth diapers 24/7 for urge incontinence, and I use polyurethane plastic panties because they stay soft, don’t tear and I can see right through them. At first I was worried that people would hear them, but no one notices. Now I enjoy the soft crinkle as I move about. Nothing beats the protection of good plastic panties, and I love wearing them!

I wear diapers because I have OAB and frequent urge incontinence. I’m not AB, but sometimes I like to wear AB diapers with colors and prints because they are more humiliating. I don’t purge, but I switch back and forth between using “medical” and “sissy” or “baby” diapers. I’m not really comfortable with my desire to wear embarrassing diapers, but I don’t seem to be able to resist it in the long run either.

I remember one time when I was four or five that I found my old snap-on plastic pants and put them on over my Penny’s briefs. The briefs were double through the crotch and up the back and had a red dotted line in the waist elastic. Briefs without the extra padding had a blue or blue and yellow dotted line. I would sometimes wet my pants, so I put the plastic pants on. I remember my mom taking me to another larger town to see a specialist because of my bedwetting and day wetting. The doctor said to get rid of the plastic pants and just use a rubber sheet. I didn’t wear diapers growing up. I remember seeing an ad in the paper for incontinence pants sometime in college, and thinking it would be a good idea to get some for long exams. I never ordered any though. I started having close calls and a few wetting accidents in my late twenties. The problem was very probably caused by a botched epidural anesthesia that I had about that time. I started ordering Sears incontinence pants from the Health catalog and eventually accepted having to wear them. Over the years, I’ve tried many different products and have settled on cloth diapers and plastic pants. I was in my late twenties when I started wearing incontinence protection and about thirty-seven when I started wearing diapers.

I always wear a dry diaper to bed. I use a waterproof matress pad under my sheet. I keep a shower curtain under the matress pad in case the plastic backing on the matress pad tears (which has happened). Since I switched to heavy cloth diapers, I rarely leak. Yay!
