This is my first post, I've copied this post from one of the sub categories i originally posted it in to bring it out to the front because I see this come up over and over, and I think some of what has been written by others in very helpful, and I just wanted to add my two cents on wearing or wanting to wear diapers to the hospital My wife's grandmother was 90 and taken care of in home and wore diapers at night as a precaution, but had a bed side potty chair next to her for day times. On occasion she would need diapers due to immobility, and I swear laziness sometimes. But on one three day stay in the hospital for con genitive heart failure we noticed she was wet, we hit the call button and the nurse came in to change the underpaid and clean her up. We mentioned that she uses diapers at home sometimes and the nurse responded that the hospital has a no diapering policy, and that they will come in and clean her up as many times as needed for the protection of her skin. I guess that makes sense, but for us with diaper fetishes, or actual incontinence, I agree with some of the earlier posts......call the hospital ahead of time and speak with the department that will be caring for you, tell them you regularly wear and should you bring your own or will they be provided....and what the hospitals policy is on diapering........use this as your determining factor as to bringing your own. Remember if your wearing one.....they may not interfere with your regime, if you don't mention them, they will deal with you per their hospital policy....be it, let you wet, then clean you up, assist you to the bathroom, bring you a bed pan,bring you a pee bottle, or catheterization you. But if you are already diapered, or show up with your own stash, they may let you continue with your normal routine. Remember diapers are a normal part of the medical field and each option has pros and cons. .....do what's right for you.....they may ask questions, just be relaxed and answer them, youre not the first person to wear a diaper, don't show your hesitation or fear in answering questions....be strong and they won't blink an eye. Your treating doctor may try to ask further questions and recommend you seek treatment for what ever you tell him, be prepared for that. But I think if you have a realistic cover story, that clearly shows you are an occasional user for a legitimate reason, it may be overlooked by doctors and staff.....(between you, me and the Daily Diaper community, I'm a DL I wear to bed every night and have started to wet during sleep 4 out of 7 night a week).....an example of what happened with me...... I've been through multiple knee surgeries, and have tried many different anti inflametory medications from Celebrex, Mobic, bextra and vioxx. Most caused stomach ulcers, but the vioxx cause a few bladder infections. I was in so much pain....I felt the urge to pee every ten minutes, but would dribble very little, and if I held it during an urge while trying to get to a bathroom it was even more painful. Now I was already wearing diapers as part of my fetish for years up to this point, but never out of the house, and no one knew of my use of them, but I started wearing them 24/7 during this period so when the urge hit I could just go. I obviously went to a urologist, I didn't wear a diaper to his office or mention my diapers to him.......he actually sugested that I temporarily use a diapers or pads, and do not hold back....when the urge hit he suggested wetting the diaper and dont be embarassed. He said this a bit hesitantly to me, and with care as I was around 25 at the time, and he probably thought I would never consider a diaper at my age ( giggle, giggle....he had no idea) he gave me cipro for the infection and it cleared right up, luckily I no longer need medication .........so in closing, have a legitiment reason for using your diapers, be comfortable and confident with doctors and staff when discussing your use, or need and if they don't allow them, don't worry ......piss the bed, and hit the call button, maybe you'll get a hot nurse, you'll turn 20 shades of red, but I bet she gets into your pants to clean you up easier than you trying to pick up a girl at a bar. OK, I'm done rambling, I hope this helps
