How did you get started wearing diapers?

[Diapered Brian]

I just wondered how people got started wearing diapers.  What attracted you to them?

[Ferix]

I've always held a secret love for diapers. I can't explain it, and I can't deny the urge to wear.

 

Until I was 7, my parents punished me for having messy accidents by spanking me and putting me in diapers. I hated the aspect of the "punishment" because I really didn't mean to have accidents and they assumed I was being lazy. On top of that, I never ended up using the diapers my parents put me in because I had already gone in my pants or I was too scared to see how they would react. So in those situations, I didn't like the diapers.

 

Even still, I was hooked. Once the feelings of being punished were gone, it was always comforting to feel the diaper on me and to wear it to bed. I remember at around age 5 asking to be put back into diapers all the time. My parents said no of course and I was too scared to ever ask again.

 

When they stopped putting me in diapers at 7, I could not deny the urge. From 7 to 9 I would steal diapers from a friend's little brother. Once he stopped wearing I started to buy my own.

 

My first time buying diapers didn't go so well! To get the diapers, I had to ride my bike 45 minutes to a store that sold goodnites. When I got to the checkout line, I was so nervous, I grabbed the bag of diapers and bolted for the door before I paid. The cashier and bagger came after me and stopped me at the door. I immediately realized my mistake and gave them a $10 and told them to keep the change, which was $3. For a 9 year old, $3 is a lot of money! So I take the diapers to my bike and backpack but realize I could not fit all the diapers in my backpack. I did not want to carry loose diapers so I ended having to throw away a third of the bag. I was upset but quickly got over it as I knew I was about to wear diapers again!

 

I quickly rode to the nearest park where I had scoped out a nice, urine smelling, yet private bathroom to throw on my diaper. I do that, promptly mess, then finish my ride home. It was great.

 

At 14, I purchased my first case from the internet. I had tricked my neighbors into helping me, convincing them that I'm ordering a new bedset for my parents as a surprise and had a case of molicares delivered to their house.

 

At 15 I would steal my parents car in the middle of the night and drive a town over to a 24 hour walgreens and get diapers there. I was always careful not to get caught: I would stop and get fuel to fill the tank to exactly where it was when I started driving it; I would open the garage door manually, then push the car into and/or out of the garage. We lived on a hill so I used the hill to coast into and out of the driveway; and I made sure not to run the car until I was a couple houses away.

 

Most of the time through child hood I may have only wore between once a week to a couple times a month. In my 20s and on my own, I was basically wearing anytime I wasn't at work. I went 24/7 on 4/7/17 and have been loving every minute of it. My only regret is not going 24/7 sooner. Also, if I could go back in time, it might be worth testing my parents to see how they would have reacted if I did use my "punishment" diaper... At least once 

 

Now that I'm in my 30s and I've lived my whole life with diapers, I still can't get enough of them. If there was some way I could wear more than 24/7, then it might be enough.

 

My motto:

 

Life happens, wear diapers.

[Alex Bridges]

Shortly after I was born, a nurse put me in one. It’s been a love affair ever since.

I was between 2-3 when I always chose a diaper over undies if given the choice.
 

Between 4-6 when I tried pressing a diaper up against myself when everyone was still asleep.

About 12 when I peed in a baby diaper left behind at the lake house.

About 13 when I had access to the internet for the first time and found DPF.

14 when I started to fake bedwetting to get diapers.

17 when I went it a medical supply store and bought diapers with the help of a friendly sales clerk. 

18 when I stole diapers from a nursing home I volunteered at and got my first introduction to something better than Depends. 

19 when I was living on my own and started buying them from XPMedical, and shortly after began to wear on campus sometimes.

31 when I began to wear nearly all the time.

32 when I started wearing to the office occasionally.

That brings us to now.

So a life long desire that turned sexual with puberty, but it is also a comfort, lifestyle and infatuation.

Often diapered for bed-wetting till about age 9, I developed an overwhelming interest in both wetting and diapers.  I’d say the attraction was (and is) a combination of security, sensory and humiliation.

[babypb]

...when I was out of diapers after toilet training, I wet the bed for years, probably up to age 11 or 12. I woke up in a wet bed EVERY morning for years & years. I "wanted" to wear diapers just so that I didn't wake up in a wet bed every morning. Guess that "wanting" back then has led me to wanting diapers since my 20's. Had a place of my own 24-28yrs of age and did diapers all I wanted. Now, today, I wear often out to dinners, movies & such, wife knows and I told her, you do your hobbies & things, I am going to do mine. So far, it's perfect!!! Also diapered for bed probably 5 out of 7 nights. I just "wear" for comfort & fun. Have really nice cloth diapers & plastic pants but don't wet those. When I do feel like wetting, which is rare, I use disposables for that.

I was a sickly child and a frequent bedwetter until I was about 10. Diapers were an off and on thing. I liked to wear a diaper at night because it kept my bed dry and I got a better night’s sleep; and my guardian liked to diaper me at night because it enabled her to get a good night’s sleep. But we got conflicting medical advice. One doctored favoured me being diapered because he thought I needed better rest, but another doctor said diapers promoted continuation of bedwetting and thought I shouldn’t wear a nighttime diaper. In any case, I eventually dried up at night when I was about 10. When I was 14, I had surgery after which I developed what started out as a urinary tract infection that spread throughout my body, nearly killed me, and required me to spend about 3 months in hospital. I eventually fully recovered from the infection except for the fact that it damaged my ability to tell when I need to urinate. As a result, I’ve had serious bladder-control issues ever since. I’ve never been reliably dry at night and have worn a nighttime diaper ever since. And my daytime bladder control has also been a problem. I had to wear a diaper 24/7 until my third year in high school, at which point I got enough daytime control to go without a daytime diaper so long as a bathroom was nearby. That lasted until I was in my forties when my daytime control deteriorated to the point where I had to go back to wearing a diaper 24/7.

I can remember when I was around 4-5 being in diapers at night they were cloth and plastic pants and being the youghest out of 7 kids we all shared bedrooms.
I would be rubbing the outside of of my diaper and my brother couldn't get me to stop when he couldn't get to sleep and when my parents found out I was taken out of them.
I very rarely had a dry night almost always woke up soaked into my my 20's.
I would steal diapers from neibors until I started making money I then would buy Pampers and wear one in my underwear.
Diapers are very sexual to me and when I started buying Attends that continued until they stopped selling them in the store.
When I got a laptop I found Bambino's and ordered a case which were the best I ever had.
Moving on into my 40's I started waking up wet so I started wearing ervery night now I am 24/7 and must wear all the time and have been for around 7yrs.
Was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis in 2016 which has caused me to have OAB with very little control.
Diapers are still sexual to me but just needing them is also a comfort and will always be one.

I’ve always liked diapers from as far back as I can remember in all honesty I doubt I’ve been out of them. I have very vivid memories going back to the age of three maybe four years old wearing them. Like with so many other members I went through various stages like being totally ashamed about it, going through binge and purge cycles the list is almost endless. Nowadays it is fully embedded in my life although the ugly beast of shame tents to raise its head every so now and then. I wear diapers 24/7 use them only for number one basically live my life as if I am incontinent I’ll take my diapers along wherever I go if I feel I need change somewhere along the line.

 

[thediaperedhusband]

I’ve wanted to wear diapers ever since I was in elementary school. I was always jealous of the babies who got to wear them. With me not being a bedwetter, I never got the chance to experience Goodnites either. 
 

When I was a teenager, I rode my bike to the nearest grocery store and bought Depends for the first time, but never had opportunities to wear them (and they obviously sucked). This was before the advent of ABDL diapers. 
 

When I was in college, I had a roommate and didn’t have the funds to heavily invested into diapers, though I tried the legendary Abena M4 and other diapers and wore privately. I always promised myself that if I had the money and capability, I would wear a lot more often. 
 

Fast forward to two weeks ago when I told my wife I wanted to be diapered regularly, and now I wear diapers every night and most weekends. My (very vanilla) wife has accepted my need to wear diapers and is even going out to buy a diaper pail just for me. We don’t really plan on having kids, so there’s no issues with privacy or anything like that. With time, I’ll be comfortable wearing just my diapers around the house in front of her. For now, it’s just a dream come true being able to be diapered for bed.

Was a likeable issue when my 3rd brother was born - right before Pampers came out - used to use cloth and plastic pants and run around the house and neighborhood in the open - I was about 6 I think - then Pampers came out - used those too... for fun and wetting..... Ever since it's been a hobby... but now with MS and MRI's under sedation and meds at home with muscle relaxers... need them at night....

1. I put one on.

2. It felt really good.

3. I kept doing it and here we are!

Was a bed wetter up through high school then stop then suddenly started bed wetting again in my 20’s have been wearing diapers for bed wetting and now currently for daytime wetting to.  Attraction is being able to wake up to a dry bed and keeping pants dry

[lumpybritches]

i haven't told this to very many people at all.  

when i was really little (less than 1 year old) my mom took me to a baby sitter that pinched me every time i wet my diaper.  this resulted in me being potty trained by the age of 1.  not a good start.  i did have occasional accidents but from what i have been told, not very many.  my father left before i was born.  i don't think my mother really wanted me, and probably blamed me for her new husbands exit.  anyway, 5 years later my mother re-married.  and a few years after that my mother gave birth to her second.  he was barn sick and almost died.  i guess i saw all the attention that he was getting, and the kindness he received during diaper changes got me experimenting with makeshift diapers at night in my room while everyone else was sleeping.  this became my coping mechinism as once my adopted father now had a biological son, i was forgotton about.  by him and his parents (my grandparents).  i was starving for attention.  diapers were my way of taking care of myself.   into my teens diapers became a way of sexual release.  it was the only thing that i knew.  

diapers aren't sexual for me anymore.  but i have gone through long stents (as much as 5 years) of 24/7.  an i, like every other person that started wearing diapers before the internet, went through many, many, many binge and purge periods!  i thought i was the weirdest person on the planet!  

for the most part i have accepted myself.  but still struggle with balance.  the quest goes on....

At age 4 a girl had an accident at daycare and they diapered her for the rest of the day. Apparently I was inspired and did this for the next 2 days until my mom sent a change of clothes and miraculously I stopped. I was told this story by my mom when I was in high school I believe. (Honestly, I dont remember early childhood.)

8ish my mom kept kids and one of them was a baby and she wore size 3 or 4. 1 night I lined my underwear with them. It was so awesome.

I think this happened a second time. The baby had been potty trained, but there was still a stack of left over diapers.

I didnt do it again for years maybe Junior High or early High School is when the internet came along and it morphed into a fetish and DPF/Geocites taught me what I was and provided the first pics and stories.

I can go on if you are interested?

To paraphrase Obi Wan in his first few minutes of screen time in Star Wars episode 4:

After a water fight when I was 13, I was so dripping wet that I didn't want to go inside to pee. So I wet myself, liked it, and started wetting my underwear.

Decades later, I stumbled upon this site, and discovered I'm not alone. 

[stevewet]

I went back to nappies when I became incontinent and soon realised I enjoyed wearing them so I have the best of both worlds.

[hunter185]

Was put back in cloth diapers and plastic pants for night wetting when I was around 6.  I was put in diapers during the day a few times too (naps, long drive, etc).  I wore into my 10th year and the odd occasion after that "just in case" a bathroom was not available.  It was embarrassing at first but got used to the diaper routine before bed and it was much better to pee in my diapers than it was in my bed.  After I outgrew the bedwetting, I felt naked with out them.  Sometimes went to bed with a towel as a diaper, etc.  Mainly just for the comfort back then.

[iluvmydiapers]

When I was 6 I saw 2 boys my age wearing only a diaper as part of a float in a  parade advertisement for the new XL toddler size Pampers , from that day on all I have wanted is to wear diapers, I did my best growing up in a large family, so there was always diapers in the house for me to sneak and wear. 

Was caught, punished, but never gave up my desire to wear diapers. 

[dlsafrica]

I had a motor car accident in 1983. When I was unconscious I was in diapers. When I got home months later, diapers were kept in my cupboard. I started wearing then - or trying to. It was maybe ten minutes here or there on weekends.

[BlackShadow]

Love the way it feels on me. Always have an internal smile when wearing them.

[willnotwill]

Growing up my sister and I found the "Adult Diapers" in the Sears catalog and thought that you'd have to be pretty strange to wear those.    I was always had these odd school punishment fantasies (which stem from some abuse at school when I was in Kindergarten).   It wasn't long before the idea of being punished in diapers evolved.

[Kaliborio]

A mix of normalisation, need, and childhood trauma.

I had a pretty bad childhood (unrelated to diapers). I also had episodic incontinence and by the time I got to 24/7, I'd already spent half my life in diapers previously. (Honestly, it wasn't until I'd already spent several years 24/7 that I realised that the amount of time I'd spent wearing diapers was way greater than normal.)

I went back into diapers around the end of 2012/beginning of 2013 out of a need for comfort + fear that my continence wasn't good enough to hold up under unusual circumstances. I've been in them since. My continence definitely isn't strong enough now (it's nonexistent) but that's okay thanks to diapers.

[Philosoraptor]

As a teen I found some old pullups in the back of a bathroom closet. Out if curiosity tried one on and loved it.

I'd wear the same one many times, and then randomly get paranoid and throw it away. Eventually I went off to college, and sustained my urges through diaper porn until my senior year of college when I acquired some Depends. I graduated in 08 which was a terrible time to be trying to enter the workforce and had to move back home for a year, but when I finally got a job and moved out I was able to order premium diapers online.

I ordered all kinds of samples and tried every kind of diaper I could. After two purge cycles and realizing how expensive they were I finally accepted this part of myself. My girlfriend moved in with me, and I continued in secret until one day I got a sample pack of Bambinos in the mail and got pretty defensive when she tried to open the package. I lied about it, and then after a lot of thought (we had recently had a really good talk about our future together) I decided to admit it. She was troubled by it and needed to process, and after three of the most nerve wracking days of my life she told me the diapers were not a deal breaker. She's been my wife now for 8 years.

A few years ago I finally "outed" myself to some of my close friends during a couple of discussions about struggles with being ourselves. They are still excellent friends.

I'm moving into a new stage, my kid is three and curious enough to start poking around. I'm slowly working out a plan to keep this part of my life hidden, but unlike past me I'm not terribly worried. It's been a crazy ride for sure.

One of my earliest memories is me being in a plastic backed diaper lying in bed. I would pinch off little pieces of of the diaper and feel the smoothness of the plastic. After being potty trained I never thought about it again until I was spending the night at my grandma’s house and found some plastic backed diapers left over from her taking care of a family member. Once I felt the plastic and the smelled the scent of that clean diaper I had to put it on immediately. It felt amazing! I didn’t wet it. I think I wore it all night long. I tried to go over there as much as I could without being too obvious. Not even sure what I did with the worn diapers! 
I didn’t really get a chance to wear diapers for a long time after that. I snuck one or two when I could in my bag after spending the night with people that had kids still in diapers. When I started driving was when I started buying diapers. There wasn’t anything around me to buy except for Depends. I went to another city to buy them so no one I knew could be there. After getting them back home I had to sneak them in after my parents went to bed. I thought they were so loud putting one on. But it felt so awesome putting one on and sleeping in it again. I wore them as much as I could without being caught. 
I continued to secretly wear them even after getting married. It wasn’t until we were expecting out first child that I told my wife I enjoy wearing diapers. She was confused about why but didn’t judge me. She doesn’t really understand or really like it but has been semi okay with me wearing them around here every now and then. I do still wear them without her knowing. Seeing as I can now order them through the internet I no longer wear Depends. After trying many diaper brands out there, Dry 24/7 and MegaMax diapers are my absolute favorites.
