Has anyone ever accidentally seen your diaper or have you been forced to expose it?

[Mary Moon]

Have you ever had someone accidentally notice that you were wearing diapers? How did people react? I once had an accident when i was with my best friend and i had to confess to her that i was wearing diapers, she wasn't surprised because without my knowledge she had already understood even though she had never said anything so as not to embarrass me. Another quite difficult moment was when i had to confess to my girlfriend that i had to wear diapers due to incontinence problems, luckily it didn't affect the relationship. Let's say that now i'm more open to talking about it with those close to me, in my circle of friends i chose to reveal it even if in this case more or less almost everyone already knew. Also because when we go to the beach, for example, it happened a few times that i had to ask to pull over because i had to pee and things like that. So they understood that i have problems resisting for long. I've noticed that compared to a few years ago there is much more understanding

[WeaselDiaperBoy]

I wear diapers 24/7. Someone may have seen my diaper. I know TSA has; my doctors have; my massage therapist has, and I imagine many people have.  Except for my doctors, they don't know the reason I wear diapers, and no one has ever commented. I expect adults to act like adults and not make a big deal out of it. I don't flaunt it, and they don't acknowledge it. I have seen others wearing diapers, colostomy bags, etc. It's none of my business; unless they bring it up, I never discuss it.

@Mary Moon

I had one problem when I started wearing and using diapers in 2019 and 2020.  I had a service provider "out me" as an incontinent diaper wearer, because I made a couple mistakes that I shouln't have done: I took responsibility for that, but STILL, even after I was able to take care of that, I ended up talking to my Case Manager from the HH agency, as well as one of the staff from the Community Health Team office for my doctor, who used to be my case manager, I was able to get this service provider to not think of me as a "bad guy" - but then, they got after me again - I then had to get ANGRY, because they were threatening me, and I said:

"Don't you guys deal with incontinent and disabled people?" to which they said "Yes, but NOT You specifically" That was because they were not asked to perform Personal Care for me:  so I had to ask my Case Manager if I had questions about IC, or anything like that.  The day that this service provider called me, they threatened me with LOSS of all services, and I had to take the call, while at work, and I told them that it was "inappropriate" for the work place, but they STILL THREATENED ME, so I asked my case manager to FIRE them:  This Service Provider told me that they were going to "make sure I don't have any services when they were done"

I AGAIN got mad, and Told them off, and fired them MYSELF, then I had to go to the doctor that day anyway, and I was told my Case Manager was gonna Stop my services:  When I talked to the doctor and told him of the crazy nonsense I'd had to deal with, he said "You won't lose any services, we will take care of the problem."  Then I found out that the service provider I fired had LIED and said that the HH agency were going to stop my services, and my Case Manager said "NO WAY!"

Wearing and using diapers help me in ways that I can't count:  I don't have to worry about having an accident, and I can get sleep at night, and it allows me to be myself, and not worry about anything like that again.  I look at it like this:  Your body does it's thing, and we eat and drink and breathe and all of that.  I think of the fact that diapers help me deal with stress and anxiety, and just like there are things that we use that we may not need anymore, anything that your body does not need is released in the diaper.  When I made the decision to start wearing 24/7 in 2020, it was one of the best decisions I ever made, and the people who NEED to know about my incontinence know, and those that don't, I don't reveal that to.

That Fired Service Provider wanted to make a big deal out of something that was my fault, but they also made me think that they were going to nail me for the misunderstandings.  When you are disabled, and you are having mobility issues, and you simply don't or cannot get to the bathroom without possibility of falling, the diaper is better:  I feel like a part of me was "missing:"  I have always wanted to wear diapers, and I've been a DL since I was eight, and many of our community can tell you that wearing diapers or using diapers has a reason:  I am glad I made the choice I did, and I am proud to say that I am Incontinent and a DL +

@WeaselDiaperBoy is RIGHT: There are LOTS of people that are professionals, and they deal with people that wear/use diapers all the time.  They know you use them, and if they know that, they don't usually cause issues.  My doctor helped me get diapers, so he knows about it, and anyone that deals with me knows about my diapers, if they are dealing with medical situations.  I don't worry about that anymore, as I told my doctor in 2019 that I was using them, and in 2020, they were working well for me, so I decided to go 24/7, or "all in" as I told him, because for some reason, it just felt "right" and I was dealing with IC anyway, so I. just had him add the incontinence diagnosis:

"Fecal incontinence with Fecal Urgency / Continuous Leakage of Urine"

I maintain that there are people who know you wear and use, or will not know that you wear and use:  It depends on the situation, the people involved and the reason for disclosure:  Its on my medical records, so that I will always have diapers:  I have no problem with people knowing about it, but there are some people as @WeaselDiaperBoystated that "do not need to know" and so I don't have to reveal it:  The people on my medical team and my support team all know about it, so it's not that bad.

The thing that I learned was wearing diapers, using diapers, and LIKING diapers is NOT a problem - I accepted that I needed them LONG ago, as stressors and strange things have happened, and I don't HAVE to hide my need, and I don't have to worry about "being discovered" as many that I deal with also deal with incontinence or other issues, and as far as I am concerned, I don't care if I pee or mess myself:  If there is one thing that I DON'T worry about is incontinence:  On a scale of 1 to 10, Incontinence rates as a ZERO - Its a part of life, and I, having a Cerebral Palsy diagnosis, understand and have understood for quite some time that I would probably need them eventually anyway - Dailydiapers has been amazing, because they have helped me to understand that use of diapers is NO BIG DEAL, and those who don't understand why, are those that we will have to "educate" to get rid of the "stigmas" that people told us as kids of potty training age that "diapers are for babies" and other crazy notions, because adults use them as well

@Mary Moon

If they are understanding and they KNOW that there are people that wear diapers, or use diapers, true friends stick with you through thick and thin:  I've had to ask some of my friends the same question:  Does Wearing and or using diapers bother you?  ALL of the people that I have been friends with understand, and they think its "no biggie" so I don't have any problems so far - Like I said, diapers should not change whether someone is your friend, because if the WORST thing any of us here on DD had was bladder or bowel issues, and we had nothing else going on, that shows that we can deal with anything or anyone. 

I am glad that this community is strong, and that I am able to help others with questions or concerns:  we deal with our own personal issues, but each of us are here because we have diapers in common

As far as accidental exposure, that can happen:  however, those people that know I wear and use, know that, and there has not been a problem since the situation where I needed to fire that contractor.  Our family had to deal with disabled children, so diapers were something that we dealt with, and my late brother Richard was disabled, and non verbal and nonmoble and wore diapers all his life:  Diapers were used as a help, and not used to punish, and we dealt with diapers a lot, so it was no big deal most times.

When I had my Colo last year, it was easy to deal with, and the nurses didn't  even flinch, as they knew I wore diapers and used them.  They just changed me as I needed, and I had to be changed 27 times during that 2 day period, but they were professional, and all I did was ask, and they took care of me, and all I really did was take my pants off, when they were ready, and they did a change for me, and then I just relaxed until i had to start taking the laxatives.

It was difficult for me on a psychological level, because at 13 years old i had to start wearing pullups to school, because my parents said it was better this way, after having had two rather humiliating accidents, before i only wore diapers at night. It helped me a lot that my parents and sister were very emotionally supportive and never made me feel guilty. 

[Little BabyDoll Christine]

NO: I am to smart to let myself end up in situations where that can happen

@Mary Moon

I am glad that your family was supportive, and I can also tell you that once you get used to wearing and using diapers as you do, you get used to it, and you end up getting a "system" that you use:  The way you do that is up to you,  It is good that no one makes you feel guilty or bad, because diapers are there to help you, and NOT hurt you, and there are many other things in life that can hurt you, but diapers are good because you can be DRY and comfy most times, and not have a problem, unless you leak - than that can be a problem.  My parents were always supportive, and I think when I was a kid, and had to do Pediatric Rehab twice, they wanted everyone to wear diapers and be in wheelchairs, because they did not want us to be able to get up at night to use the bathroom:  They used our disability as an EXCUSE to diaper us, and then, because they were the adults, they would threaten us:  I guess that is why I am a Diaper Lover, because we had to wear while there

A couple of my regular Dr's know, I had to pull down my diaper and underwear , for my skin cancer Dr, I have dealt with squamous cell cancer since 2007, so they keep an eye out. And I had asked my skin cancer Dr for some good rash stuff, for my diapered area. He did look at it only once, and he has kept me in hydrocortisone oint for several years so it was worth it. Then my other cancer Dr has only seen the top of my pull up, when I take off my shirt. I did ask him if I can get diapers from Medicare , both Dr's said no it's not covered. I di look on our SSA site and they are correct it is not covered at least in our state. I have worn a pull up diaper to my scopes and scans, I have to or they have to pull them down . But I want my Dr's to know. Letting them know helps me to worry less about getting exposed as a diaper wearer. I do wear 24/7.

[Mary Moon]

I feel a little guilty talking about myself, because i see that there are people here with bigger problems than mine, in the end mine is only a partial incontinence due to the delay in the growth of my bladder compared to the rest of my body and that causes sudden desperations, which unfortunately cause me accidents because they are unexpected and i am not able to resist for more than a few minutes. And so if it happens and i can't get to the bathroom in time i pee myself, that's why i use pullups. In the end my discomfort was mostly during adolescence and it was psychological, in short if you are a teenager and you wet yourself in front of your classmates and then you are forced to wear diapers to avoid other accidents, it doesn't help much with self-esteem. 

I'll tell you about my accident in middle school: i was 13 years old and i had started wetting the bed again, but during the day i didn't wear diapers and up until then i hadn't had any problems, except for a few trips to the bathroom during class. It happened that in gym class i felt the urge, stupidly i didn't go before class because I didn't really need to go back then, i was overcome by a sudden desperation, iasked to go to the bathroom, but the teacher told me that there were less than 20 minutes left until the end of class and i didn't insist because i thought i could resist even if the need was great. At the end of class i was totally focused on not wetting myself, during the volleyball game it happened that one of my classmates, trying to get the ball, bumped into me, making me fall, and the unexpected impact made my bladder give out. I started to cry out of shame while a puddle formed on the parquet, i remember that some of my classmates giggled while others were more understanding. The teacher asked me why i didn't tell him it was such a big emergency. As you can imagine, word got around and my social life took a hit, i even had to close my Facebook and Instagram profiles. Then it happened to me again, i peed myself a few meters from the bathroom and I had to have the janitor call the teacher, to have my mom called and bring me a change of clothes. After that second incident, mom made me wear pullups to school, at first i resisted, but then i understood the need

[Dubious]

I don't really care anymore, so its very likely that someone has seen my diaper. 

I have no idea if my doctor or family know, cause none have told me. 
I regularly buy inserts at my local pharmacy so unless there is another common use for them..

[foreverdl]

Most people will not say a word if they see your diapers , they don't want to embarrass you.. That's why I will say something to a Dr when I feel like I need to be sure they know I am ok with it..

[rusty pins]

Probably some may have seen some diaper showing out the back of my jeans when I had to bend down in a store to get things from a lower shelf, but that was many many years ago, probably 35 to 40 years.  Now when I go out diapered I try and make sure I am very discreet even if I have a thick premium diaper and plastic pants on under my shorts.  I have several regular plain t-shirt onesies that I wear to keep anyone from seeing any diaper showing out the back of my jeans or shorts.  Last year I went 24/7 for a week on a trip to Pennsylvania, Gettysburg and even Hershey Park.  Thick diapers like Trest and Betterdry, plastic pants and the onesie, then my shorts were my daily clothing and no one at all seemed to notice.  Even when I was in a crowded line for 1-1/2 hours to ride a roller coaster.  Dressed like that, people you know very well and see daily would probably pick up the fact that you may look a bit different, bulkier but strangers you don't know won't give you a second glance, and even if they do notice your diaper showing they won't be so rude as to say anything to you about it.

I do get a back massage several times a year with licensed and professional therapists who are aware I have bladder issues.  I do wear full tape on diapers or cloth diapers with plastic pants even though I am not incontinent.  My issue is having to pee every hour to hour and a half, it's a 40 minute drive just to get there and the hour appointment.  That means at some point during the massage I will have to pee.  I have nerve issues, more prevalent since I fell on the ice 2-1/2 years ago and messed up my sciatic nerve really bad.  Having someone working on areas of my back can cause me to leak a little, so a diaper is a good idea.  These are professionals who also have other clients who wear protection.  One actually gives massages to cancer patients at the hospital.  I do have a sheet draped over me but the therapist takes it down to do my lower back and often has to push down my diaper in back to do the lower areas.  She has also massaged my hips through my diaper, so yes, she knows I wear and has seen my diaper, especially the few times afterwards when she has had to help me up off the massage table.

My mom had a solution to help me hide my pullup at school, which was basically wearing one of those onesies with buttons in the crotch area. They basically held the pullup in place and prevented the elastic from coming out at the top, so when you bent over, it looked like a regular t-shirt from the outside. When i had to go to the bathroom or change a wet pullup, i would simply undo the buttons and change the diaper for a dry one. I used something like this:

[Kawaharu]

For me, I have people who have seen me diapered all the time and it's very normal for me. I'm always in a diaper, t-shirt or even a onesie with a pacifier with me. It's very normal where I live and it's very acceptable in my house.

I wear these all the time - they're great. They just look like t-shirts. However when I was a kid wearing diapers, they didn't make them in my size, or at least, my parents had no idea where to source them if they did, so waistline reveals were the bane of my existence for a few years. 

I've recounted these stories here before so I will only give the briefest of summaries: when I was maybe 7 we stopped at a rest stop on the way to Florida and I hung from monkey bars and some kids at the park saw the top of my diaper.

When I was around the same age - maybe 6 or 7 - I went downstairs in the morning to watch cartoons, wearing a diaper, not realizing that my aunt and a cousin had arrived after I had gone to bed. I heard footsteps on the stairs and thought it was my brother or sister, but nope, it was my cousin who was a year younger than me, and she was astonished to see me sitting on the couch in Pampers. I ran and locked myself in the bathroom. 

My stepdad found my homemade cloth diapers when I was 13 and he waved one of them around while yelling at me in front of my family.

I was in a home improvement store, crouching to try to find a plumbing fitting, when a guy behind me said something about how he preferred Barnyards to Monsters, which took me a second to process, but then I looked up and they, who had a mask on (covid), gave me a wink and walked away, and I realized he was referring to my diaper, a Rearz Lil' Monster.

I went in for a routine MRI, also during the pandemic, and they gave me a disposable gown which turned out to be transparent, more or less, once I stepped out of the shadowed changing stall and into the main waiting area, which was lit up like an airport. My diaper, thankfully a white one, more or less glowed under my gown, and one of the nurses rushed over with a second gown. 

Finally, I went to, ironically, a urologist's office, for an appointment not related to my wearing diapers, not expecting that he was going to want to see that area, because it was supposed to be all about bloodwork. Well, he wanted my pants down, and he had a resident training with him, as well. I had worn a pull-up rather than a full-on diaper, just in case, and I was glad I had, because there I was, with my pull-up around my knees, in front of two well-paid professionals. They didn't even ask about it, and didn't blink. 

And finally, I know that a couple of my good friends saw my diaper when we were fixing a garage door in an emergency situation (it had fallen and entrapped a boat), and thee was nothing I could do about it. And, I told another friend of mine that I wore them to bed, because I was staying with him and they police garbage disposal down there like they police baggage in airports. I knew he was probably going to find out that I was throwing out diapers, so I decided to get ahead of it and say that I slept in them. He's an old friend and new I wet as a child so I figured he'd be understanding, and indeed, he was. 

The moral of all the stories is that the world didn't end and I didn't lose any friends and nobody laughed at me (other than the kids in the park), even if I did sometimes have slightly red cheeks afterwards. 

[diapered charles]

My dumbass got drunk, took some mushrooms, and thought getting in the mosh pit was a good idea. Totally forgot I was wearing a bright pink Felicity pullup. 

[onetoomanywetmornings]

I was a bedwetter into my teens, so my my family saw me in diapers a lot. We’d go on vacations with my extended family, so it would always be kind of extra embarrassing since I wasn’t usually seen in diapers by them, and I wasn’t even the youngest cousins though I was still the only bedwetter. 

Outside of the family, I avoided sleepovers so I didn’t seen really by my peers in that position. I do remember a younger neighbor came over to visit once and saw the rubber sheet on my bed and asked me if I still wet the bed. I also went on an academic trip in middle school and I stayed in a college dorm bunking with my mom. I peed the bed without a diaper the first night and we had to contact the organizers. Then the other night my mom made me wear diapers.  I don’t believe anybody realized what had happened beyond the organizers or noticed my diaper. But it was very stressful having to walk past the other rooms and students in the hallway to go to the bathroom and change while knowing I was wearing a diaper.

I remember I once had a diaper leak in a hotel. It was always embarrassing dealing with that. But this point I was probably about 12, and the maid came up almost immediately. I hadn’t had time to change. I was still sitting on the bed in just a soiled diaper and I was mortified. I could see myself in the mirror and I just looked really ridiculous. She was probably in her late thirties and didn’t speak English. I remember she laughed but she wasn’t mean about it at all.

I understand you very well, i am younger than you, so I remember my troubled adolescence even better, i also avoided trips or sleeping at friends' houses. I even wore diapers to school because i had two accidents at school, one of which was really humiliating in front of my friends, i still have nightmares about that day, one of the worst of my life. I hope you had an understanding and supportive family like i had who helped you overcome the bad time. I have a little more control now, but sometimes i still have accidents due to my semi-incontinence and i still sleep with diapers at night, theoretically i could also sleep without, but every now and then i still have wet nights, so diapers help me sleep peacefully. Now in my group of friends, practically everyone knows that  i sometimes wear diapers and that i have incontinence problems. I must say that i am happy to have taken this burden off my shoulders. In the past i also had several embarrassing moments. Did you only have problems at night, did you have sudden emergencies during the day? My accidents were always due to sudden desperation.

[hendrik]

Wearing diapers for as far as I can remember. Tbh I cant care if somebody sees them. Some people wear glasses, some wear hearing aids, while others are in a wheelchair or have braces. 

These are all ways to overcome a flaw or disability of your body. So why care if you wear a diaper and somebody sees. Instead of not seeing or not hearing well, you pee your pants. 

And remember a lot of people always bully the disable. But trust me, their time will come when they need some sorts of aid and come to you for advise.....

 

 

[fillemup]

The only time my diaper is exposed away from home is at the doctors office when the doctor needs to check something downstairs. My doctors know I wear diapers for incontinence issues.

[newuser128]

I have urge incontinence, and I've had people see me in them since the beginning of having to wear diapers. But now if I pass you when I'm biking you might see the diaper sticking out the back of my shorts or hear the rustling of the plastic diapers when I walk by you. My spouse has helped me to not worry about my wearing in public it's also been helping me find my little space.

my incontinence is also urge and i am prone to sudden despair: it's as if my bladder doesn't properly signal to my brain that it is dangerously full, and i suddenly become desperate and if i don't have a way to get to a bathroom right away, i pee myself. That's why i wear pullups. i usually try to use the bathroom so i don't lose my potty training, but sometimes i wet myself. Pullups save my dignity and save me from the mortifying embarrassment of wetting myself in front of everyone. Having suffered several accidents in front of other people in the past, especially as a teenager, I know how ugly and humiliating it can be 

[newuser128]

I wish I could you use pull ups but they are too loose and they don't absorb quickly and Im sorry this might be too much info but I pee like a fire hose 😁. But everything you said is spot on, I still can't believe there are others like me

I am physically petite, so until a few years ago i used pullups for girls 12-15 years old (the largest ones available). Only that sometimes they leaked because obviously i have grown. My bladder due to the delay in growth compared to the body is smaller than normal, so normal pullups can contain my pee well. Now i am using pullups for adults, unfortunately they are a little thicker than the ones for little girls, but they are safer. At night instead to sleep i use Tena Night.

Then i use different techniques to avoid leaks, i try to wet myself standing up instead of sitting down, and sometimes i pee before i get desperate, so that I can give it time to absorb better.  Anyway, mommy taught me to make sure i go to the bathroom regularly every two hours or so to avoid becoming desperate and not being too dependent on diapers. She is right of course because i still have to try to train and not lose my potty training. I once heard my mom telling my girlfriend to make sure i went to the bathroom regularly, it was a bit embarrassing.  

[justforfun]

When I was training myself back to sleep-wetting 25-ish years ago, at some point I realized that it wasn't just "bed wetting", but I would wet anytime I slept.  While this did provide something of a thrill, the reality was a little more challenging as I was traveling for work a lot at the time.  I was discovering the difference between being able to choose to wear occasionally when I wanted to, and being essentially required to wear even when it wasn't convenient.  It was a learning experience as I needed to figure out how to wear effective protection discreetly, and this was in the very early 2000's when the options and information were a lot more limited.

One time I remember vividly was on a flight with a co-worker.  It was a late night flight about 6 hours long, and I knew there would be a good chance I'd fall asleep, and if I fell asleep there was a possibility I'd wet.  So, I put on a diaper before getting on the flight (maybe an Attends at the time?  Molicare?  Don't remember, but it was a plastic backed diaper.)  I did fall asleep, and I did wet.

When we were de-planing, I was still a little zonked, and my co-worker whispered, "your underwear is showing."  I remember reaching back and feeling a strip of plastic.  When I reached up to get my carry-on, my T-shirt must have risen up and then gotten caught on the waist-band.  Needless to say, I remember being mortified, especially being in my 20's with a female co-worker also in her 20's... I remember this because after we de-planed, she looked like she wanted to say something, while I just wanted to go hide or ignore it.  Just before we went our separate ways, she finally told me, "Don't worry, my brother has the same problem.  I'm not going to say anything."  I don't think I said anything in return.  She transferred to a different location not long after that, so it never came up again, at least that I knew of.

I'm sure there were other cases where there was a diaper flash that have been forgotten or blocked from my mind, as it took me some time to figure out how to be more reliably discreet and find things like the onesies to help hide things.  That one sticks in my memory though.

When I was training myself back to sleep-wetting 25-ish years ago, at some point I realized that it wasn't just "bed wetting", but I would wet anytime I slept.  While this did provide something of a thrill, the reality was a little more challenging as I was traveling for work a lot at the time.  I was discovering the difference between being able to choose to wear occasionally when I wanted to, and being essentially required to wear even when it wasn't convenient.  It was a learning experience as I needed to figure out how to wear effective protection discreetly, and this was in the very early 2000's when the options and information were a lot more limited.

One time I remember vividly was on a flight with a co-worker.  It was a late night flight about 6 hours long, and I knew there would be a good chance I'd fall asleep, and if I fell asleep there was a possibility I'd wet.  So, I put on a diaper before getting on the flight (maybe an Attends at the time?  Molicare?  Don't remember, but it was a plastic backed diaper.)  I did fall asleep, and I did wet.

When we were de-planing, I was still a little zonked, and my co-worker whispered, "your underwear is showing."  I remember reaching back and feeling a strip of plastic.  When I reached up to get my carry-on, my T-shirt must have risen up and then gotten caught on the waist-band.  Needless to say, I remember being mortified, especially being in my 20's with a female co-worker also in her 20's... I remember this because after we de-planed, she looked like she wanted to say something, while I just wanted to go hide or ignore it.  Just before we went our separate ways, she finally told me, "Don't worry, my brother has the same problem.  I'm not going to say anything."  I don't think I said anything in return.  She transferred to a different location not long after that, so it never came up again, at least that I knew of.

I'm sure there were other cases where there was a diaper flash that have been forgotten or blocked from my mind, as it took me some time to figure out how to be more reliably discreet and find things like the onesies to help hide things.  That one sticks in my memory though.

I wore pullups all through high school, every day. I was saved from this inconvenience thanks my mom's intuition, who bought me tights to body over them that looked like t-shirts on the outside, but actually kept the top elastic out of sight. It was a great idea.
