Strange days indeed - a 24 x 7 experiment
BedWetMark replied to oznl's topic in Our Lifestyle Discussion
To be honest, I've had fewer leaks with them (at night) than other nappies. They are all round very very good. Having said that, I think I must be a "front sleeper" as whenever I leak it's always out the top rather than the side? But I leak very infrequently with these I have to say. The only time these (camelots) leak for me is press out leaks during the day. Too much tea and coffee during the working day, sit down and bam, wet spots. Anticipating this, I always wee standing up after 3pm or so and make sure I stay standing for a while. As my team seem to call me a lot, it's easy to keep the headphones in, standing up, then run off to the shower around 6pm. -
second order from ABU, hope i don't get found out...
BedWetMark replied to travis3yr's topic in Diaper Lovers
If you're in the UK, ABU use DPD as the shipping company, so you'll get the exact hour they will deliver and can track the delivery online so you know pretty much exactly when the driver will be outside. You'll get a largish box, with some brown tape over any writing, so no one will know what's inside. I order a lot from them and they are consistent. Only you know what's in there -
Strange days indeed - a 24 x 7 experiment

They are awesome! You can undo the velcro tabs and do them back up many times - they work during the working day for me as I un-tape the lower tapes and pull the nappy down for a number 2, then pull up and tape back up. But they'll survive quite a few of these and the 'camelots' hold A LOT. Put one of them on before bed and you won't be changing it before you next go to bed if you want to do so. They'll be fat as f**k though, so pretty noticeable. -
New Onesie Company Looking for Feedback
BedWetMark replied to SnugandSnappy's topic in Our Lifestyle Discussion
+1 to this! I like to wear them in the winter (Tykables are the best for me as the snaps are further forwards so are easier to do up), but I don't like the look of a 'vest' under a shirt when working (on video calls), so a v neck would be good. In fact sleeveless would be good too. -
This happened to me last night, for the first time in a LONG time. Normally I just wake up wet (4 or 5 days out of 7), shrug it off and get on with me day. But last night I actually had a toilet dream where I was out (in the dream) doing something then had to run off to do a wee. I woke up VERY wet and had leaked. Just a random thought that I don't get many of those dreams anymore and used to have loads when younger. Anyone else still get them, even occasionally? It was just weird waking up and thinking "Oh I had a toilet dream" that's all!

Good call. I've never worn bambino so I can't comment on them at the moment, but I do think there is a gap for nappy simplification in terms of range. To clarify as a bedwetter I wear for need and during the day because I want to, but as a range, my view of 30 years or so along with reading comments on various forums, so leading to an actual product/market fit view point would be; 1. A plain white variant 2. A white variant but with a slight design (i.e. ABU Peekabu as an example) 3. A directly plagiarised copy of current Pampers (I keep seeing this as a requirement) With the requirements of; 1. For daytime wear thin and absorbent (again, ABU peekabu style) 2. Good sizing. Northshore Megamax are FAR too big (ridiculously so) and ABU border on being just acceptable. Rearz InControl do a decent sizing. 3. A CHOICE of sticky tabs vs hook and loop. I love the Tykables hook and loop system during the day, but sometimes you just want a sticky tab. 4. Plastic backed. I think that covers it. I make that 6 different styles, which cover most bases and achieves product/market fit.

This is amazing as it's so similar to me, it's uncanny how the mind works. If I get some time alone (maybe 2-3 days) I plan to go totally over the top, ban myself from the toilet totally and everything listed above. Then the time comes round and I'll have a sh*t day at work which makes me angry and not in the right frame of mind, or just generally the feelings I had of excitement are just completely gone. Every. Time. Without. Fail. So frustrating. Maybe one day the stars will align and I'll be in the right frame of mind when the time comes.

Absolutely, I find the fit of the mediums too weird for me. I bought a couple of cases now they're available in the UK and having heard the hype, I put the first one on and my reaction was "what the f***, weird fit". They just don't feel as secure to me as a Tykables, Rearz or ABU medium. Too big. So both cases have been consigned to the bottom of the pile and I won't bother again. Will stick with ABU and Tykables.

Strange days indeed - a 24 x 7 experiment
BedWetMark replied to oznl's topic in Our Lifestyle Discussion
Our wheelie bins get emptied every 2 weeks. Garden, glass and general recycling bins 1 week, black bin (general waste) the other. We get a bin cleaning company, but as I've mentioned before, this stuff is incredible; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bin-Buddy-Fresh-Berry-Blast/dp/B015DWIOLG/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=bin+fresh&qid=1619905682&sr=8-6 (If you can get it over there - it is the ONLY bin product I've bought that works!) Downside to having a fortnightly collection is that come the final couple of days involves me getting a step ladder out, opening the bin and jumping into it to squash it all down. Then heaving at whatever putrid smells hit me, I'm someone who is prone to smells, hence the bin buddy stuff. -
Just do what you want to do and enjoy it how you want. Could be just doing it and an immediate clean up, or sitting down and feeling it go everywhere, or spending all day in it - whatever floats your boat. But as per previous comments, it will stink. If you are not living alone, open windows and don't sit on fabric furniture - the smell hangs around. Febreeze is a good companion, as is this stuff; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bin-Buddy-Fresh-Berry-Blast/dp/B015DWIOLG/ref=asc_df_B015DWIOLG When I've felt compelled in the past, I throw some of this in the nappy disposal bag, double bag the nappy and then for good measure throw some of this in the wheelie bin as well. It really does do an amazing job of making the bin smell great anyway and will hide even the worst messy nappies! Also, a good trick I read on a forum (possibly on this one) years ago is to shower twice as the smell hangs around but also, very liberally throw baby powder in your next nappy and that'll get rid of any lingering whiffs.

Diaper with best combination of thinness and absorbency
BedWetMark replied to scaifester's topic in Diaper Lovers
Genuinely it is bizarre how they've done it - they are SO thin when dry. During the day I'll throw one on in the morning, put a pair of tight boxers over the top and it is near impossible for anyone to see what you're wearing. Compared to anything from Rearz and Tykables (who make amazing nappies that I wear at night) these are very thin. The swelling ability though is something else. As soon as you've let go a couple of times, they'll swell and be noticeable by the end of the day. But I feel these are the best I can away with during the day, personally. -
Diaper with best combination of thinness and absorbency
BedWetMark replied to scaifester's topic in Diaper Lovers
Absolutely no question in my mind the winner should be ABU Peekabu. They are very thin and ridiculously comfortable but absorb an incredible amount. I am currently using these as my daytime nappy as they are very discreet. Even more discreet (in thinness and lack of sound) are the Tena Ultima nappies - but they are nowhere near as absorbent so you need to change more often (2 of these during the day for me vs 1x Peekabu) -
Just got my first pack now they're available here, in England. First impressions, I'm not convinced. They are very expensive and personally I find the fit a bit weird, but let's see how they do overnight ...

Honestly? Life is too short, just tell her. If she doesn't accept it, you're young enough to move on if it really bothers you that much and if her reaction is negative and you can live with that, then fine. If her reaction is positive, then have fun! But do not sit on it by saying nothing as it'll eat away at you. People need to be more honest with each other.

There is no better fitting / fixing nappy than a Tykables hook and loop nappy. I have worn everything there is to wear and Tykables come out top every time. No gapping and if they slightly move in the night, because of the hook and loop, they do up a little tighter with no issues. Best nappy after any Tykables are ABU Peakabu / Simple Ultra.

24/7 startups, and unexpected pitfalls?
BedWetMark replied to Little Sherri's topic in Diaper Lovers
Talking of walking @Little Sherri, I've had my own breakthrough this week. I posted on one of your or @oznl's threads about when I appeared downstairs "changed" and ready to go out, with the reaction I got about "not going out in THAT". Well yesterday (Monday), my wife just turned round and said "let's go for a walk, come on, get your shoes on". Knowing full well how I was dressed. I put my shoes on, went for a walk and it was really nice and relaxed - no issues, no dramas, no arguing, just what feels like an acceptance that is never spoken about. Next weekend the in-laws are visiting (garden only, we're UK tier 2, so no in-house contact), so another test to see if I don't have to "change" ... Life does feel so much more pleasant at the moment, long may it continue. -
24/7 startups, and unexpected pitfalls?
BedWetMark replied to Little Sherri's topic in Diaper Lovers
I think I've said this about how I got 'acceptance' of the bodysuits. I left one "carelessly" slightly uncovered and then saw it folded up under the duvet. So I was like "okay I can wear these". Never anything said and then I just started openly wearing them. Last night my neck muscle was hurting, she offered to rub some voltarol in and said it was easier if I took my vest off. So I unpopped and took it off, let the cream soak in, then popped it back up, while she was sat there. So I really hope progress has been made. I mean it would be a damn sight easier to just talk about it, but I think you (and others) get this in that it just isn't that easy and will result potentially in an argument about it. So quiet acceptance is great, whilst trying not to rub it in people's faces. So, tomorrow morning, we have to go on a little family trip to pick something up. We don't normally need to go to many places at the moment thanks to the UK's tiered Coronavirus system, but we really do need to pick this thing up. So I will be throwing shorts and t-shirt on over my new normal underwear to drive. Before that has resulted in a moan and a discussion, but I'm wondering if we've evolved since then. I hope so, fingers crossed, let's see. I do genuinely feel so much happier wearing what I want with ease. haha, that is amazing! I love that description, will have to see if I can squeeze that in somehow to a conversation. It does make me chuckle that I sit on Zoom / Hangouts calls with my Chairman and CEO talking one to one with them. If only they knew what I wore. But then, who is to say that they're not sat there in alternate clothing. The thought of either of them in frilly pants or leather crotchless shorts makes me feel a bit ill though ... -

BedWetMark replied to Little Sherri's topic in Diaper Lovers
Absolutely, they are all good, potato, deep fried is brilliant. The other night I boiled up some potatoes (whole), let them cool, peeled them, sliced them finely, then sautéd them off in a mixture of olive oil, rapeseed oil and butter. They were magnificent. I realise I'm on a diaper forum, not a cooking forum. So I'm sat here in a white ABU Simple Ultra, Suprima plastic pants and a white Tykables bodysuit. My other half has headed to bed, so my shorts and t-shirt are now off and I can sit how I like. Actually on that note, my drawer which I allocated to bodysuits seems to have been accepted. I now have 5 of them, they get washed and folded in the normal laundry, which I do as I'm here WFH. My wife's job that she likes (?) doing is putting the washing away. A month or so ago while I was upstairs as well she asked "where do you want 'these'?". I just said "I've cleared a drawer there". Anyway, each time the washing is now put away, my bodysuits are in the drawer waiting for me. I consider that some progress. Hope that adds some relevance? -

FGS! Chips are bit fat oblong lumps of potato friend off in beef flavoured oil (Chips: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple-cooked_chips). Crisps are thin deep fried slices of 'potato' that have been flavoured heavily and stuffed in a sealed packet (Crisps: https://walkers.co.uk/crisps-range). What is wrong with you all ... ? -
I've got a pack of splash V2 (in medium) - they are decent, but my only complaint I guess during the day would be the noise - but I'm wearing them under lounge shorts with no compression, so they probably are more noisy. I've got some Inspire "original" on the way tomorrow too. Thought I'd give them a go, but I haven't seen the Elites or Essentials yet, will keep an eye out.

Agree. Certain ABDL nappies are FAR better than the 'proper' medical ones for night time use. As I wear for need (at night), I've been exclusively wearing Tykables as they are BY FAR the best. ABU Simple Ultra are a decent back up and I've also tried the odd Rearz. But as you say, none of them are particularly discreet during the day - so I've been wearing them at weekends and whilst working from home this year, but if I know someone may come round I'll make sure I have a dry, non-bloated nappy on, or, dig out a Tena Slip. I would love to get away with wearing a Tykables, Rearz or ABU all the time in front of people, but unless you want to show off, you'll need something slimmer. I would actually love one of those companies to make a discreet daytime nappy that is thin when dry and without a HUGE capacity (maybe 2000ml) so there isn't too much swelling. Yes you'll need to change more often, but for those days when discretion is required, they'll sell like hot cakes.

BedWetMark replied to Little Sherri's topic in Diaper Lovers
I actually think I would be blunt. I would pick them up and say "noticed you'd tied up, thank you, but I wondered what these were for?" The answer might well be "saw them on offer and thought I'd help out", which would be fine? Ah interesting thanks - that's one make I haven't tried, but I am a bit hesitant if they don't do up at the front as I can't be dealing with the bending over faff and reaching underneath. Still maybe worth a go though. -
Brilliant - I wonder how many people have done this?

"Near useless" is a good description. I also tried 'Tena for men' probably this time last year as I wanted to feel "something" down there. One night after a couple of drinks after work, I was on the train home, decided to let out a bit to ease my bladder as I thought they would be better than they were. Big mistake, my jeans were soaked at the top before I knew it. Cue shuffle into a cab with my laptop bag over my crotch and scrumpled up jeans when I got home. Luckily I was working from home the next day and did all the washing -
You know it'll be absolutely shit! But I remain intrigued and expect a film review. No, I'm not staying up to watch it ...
