AbabeBill Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I voted 3, but that was night time trained. About 2.5 daytime. And actually, I did wet the bed till about 6. Diapers were gone by 3 years old though. Link to comment

Angela Bauer Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 According to my mother and other reliable family members I was day-trained at 30 months and night trained at 33 months. However, like my older sister, mom, aunt and granny my bladder was tiny and over-active. Therefore Mom would very nicely ask me to wear 'Just-in-Case' diapers for long car rides and special events where finding a toilet in an emergency would be difficult. My own memory starts a few weeks before I turned 4. Mom, her mother and younger sister made no secret of being urinary incontinent. They all wore pinned gauze diapers 24/7. Penny is my older sister by 5 years. I remember several times when she wet before getting home from school. It could be that her bladder capacity was no better than mine. Penny never once complained about being diapered even when she was nearly 12. Clearly Mom knew from experience that being nice about wetting was the most practical approach. My youngest sister Missy is 5 years my junior. All the rest of us had some day control until we were 21 or so. Poor Missy lost her day control at age 15, while in high school. Missy put on a brave face and was not embarrassed. Later Mom explained that the just-in-case diapers were also part of a plan that should we eventually loose day control we would be past getting embarrassed. I agree with my Mom. 2 Link to comment
Angela Bauer Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Darling Baby Wendy Marie, I assume your questions are directed at me. Previously on another thread there was the question about when we started self-diapering. Remember, when I lived at home prior to moving to a university dorm in August 1981, my family only used pinned classic Curity gauze diapers. Because the family realized dangers of using pins, we were not taught to pin our own diapers until we reverted to bedwetting. Yes, prior to that Penny and I were taught how to pin diapers on our younger siblings. Penny reverted to bedwetting at puberty when she was 12 and I was 7, so I remember that very well. Penny began diapering me during trips when she was 10. I also reverted to bedwetting at puberty when I was 12. Of my siblings only our youngest brother Ed and youngest sister Missy routinely wet the bed after age 3. Mom or Granny diapered Ed. Missy had not had a dry night at age 5. We shared the room which had been the nursery which had a changing table. When I was 10 and Missy was 5 Mom taught me to diaper Missy for bed. Then during trips Mom would diaper Ed; Penny would diaper our sister Ruth, herself and me; I would diaper Missy. Before I moved to university I discussed my bedwetting with the housing director. She told me there were no convenient coin washers, but that the campus general store stocked all sizes of Attends.During the month before I left home I learned to put on disposable Attends and got used to sleeping in them. By then Missy had been dry at night for a year. Then shortly before I left Missy resumed bedwetting. I taught her how to diaper herself. While Missy was in high school she began day wetting, so she wore Attends to school and gauze diapers to bed. By the way on trips and special events Penny, Granny and Mom all diapered me. I am told that before I was toilet trained Aunt Betsy often diapered me because she was our babysitter while Mom was at work, but I have no independent memory of that.

Hacques3 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I wasn't fully potty trained until I was 6 and even then I still wore diapers at night. Link to comment
Running Bear Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I answered other, for obvious reasons, I've been a life long bedwetter, I was not officially day trained till 8, or 9, maybe as late as 10, the night wetting started have continued to this day... my day control has been gone since 99, and things have not gotten better... As I'm seated all day driving, and have started losing feeling below my stomach, I've been having messing issues for about 10 years, but I deal as best as I can... Thank GOD I have a wife that understands... Link to comment
kimchikid Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I was held back a year from starting kindergarten due to still being in diapers, I still bedwet and had accidents through elementary school tho Link to comment
rubbersheetmike Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I guess it depends on what "potty trained" means. During the day I pretty much knew to use the toilet by about age 3 but had many daytime accidents after that. When distracted I just wet my pants until about age 10 or 11 although less often as time went on. I didn't stop regular bedwetting until into puberty but to me that's not the same as potty training. 1 Link to comment
Spiderman Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I would have to say that I was fully potty trained during the day and night by the time I was three years old. 1 Link to comment

Dougie1970 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I was potty trained at 4 but kept having accidents until I was 9 and wet the bed until I was 14 1 Link to comment
Kaliborio Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 By the age of 8 I was about as fully potty trained as I've ever been. I don't know if my accidents were ever "rare" by other people's standards. My control started degrading again around the time I was 19, so I'm on the cusp of having been not potty trained for a larger percentage of my life than I was potty trained. Link to comment
WeaselDiaperBoy Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I was potty trained around 3, but I vividly remember a very rare messy accident at age 9. Link to comment
stevewet Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I was finally out of nappies during the day at 5 but stilll wet my bed every night so slept in nappies for a few more years. I still often wet my pants during the day too but nappies during the day were not an option Link to comment
cookiemonster23 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 My Mom told me that I was daytime potty-trained when I was around 2 and 1/2. However, I can distinctly remember still not being nighttime trained until I was 11 and my Mom threatened me into it. Link to comment
Codyboy Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Never been potty trained due to medical issues. Link to comment
Baby_lucy Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I was out of nappies full time at 5 Link to comment
skizics Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 My mother always said that I was trained at 18 months. I guess she was right, at some level, but I can still remember on, Several Occasions, when she would tell one of her friends that I was trained at 18 months while she was changing my diaper on the couch or living room floor. I didn't think this was very unusual at the time but I sure wish I could ask Mom a few questions on the Details Now! Link to comment

toddmdl Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 It depends on how you define it. I was potty trained in the sense that I had control by the time I was three. However, I still wore and used pull-ups until I was five. Link to comment
