No, my wife did not approve of it. She said it is for people that truly needs them. Now I have lapsed and is now wearing them.
I did wet my bed til I was about 10 and did not wear any protection. I don't believe there were Goodnites back then so there weren't any protections. When I wet my bed, I just grab a bath towel and lay it on the wet spot and go back to sleep. I did have mattress cover and a plastic backed fabric pad under the sheets so it wasn't a big of a deal.
One time I went to spend the night at a friend's house, I dared myself to wear a baby diaper (that I took from my cousin's diaper bag) inside my underwear and I did. My friend didn't find out. That was daring!
