Telling your dr

[Tony1988]

Looking for experiences on people who have told there dr they wear diapers for either pleasure or stress relief reasons and how they conversation went and what led up to you telling them.   I’m only looking for pleasure or for stress/mental health reasons only.

I have not had this conversation with any healthcare provider, but I did indicate, for the first time, that I wear "bladder protection" (or some such wording), on an intake form for an RMT clinic. I've also been inadvertently thrust into being in front of a medical professional in a diaper or pull-up a couple of times, but they never asked any questions. 

My current doc has been my family physician since time began, but he is overdue to retire - not that I want him to - but when he does, I plan to tell the new doc that I have OAB, that I've been looked at by a urologist (sorta true), and that I didn't like his treatment options and am fine wearing diapers, next question, please. 

Broaching that it's related to stress or mental health isn't something I planned to do, but I admire you for considering putting all your cards on the table.

Yea I’m considering telling my pcp I’m diapered for my mental health. It has helped me so so much.  Mental health is a huge thing nowadays.  I’m just trying to be honest mainly because I do get diaper rash and it has gotten pretty bad from time to time.  I’m just worried about the questions I might have to answer.  I know if I could get over the hurdle of saying I wear for non incontinence reasons it’ll be ok. But it’s still a little scary to admit it.

As an adult baby, I have openly shared with my physicians about my need to wear diapers due to my incontinence. They are well aware of my condition and the fact that I require permanent diaper use. This is precisely why I have the privilege of attending appointments wearing just a diaper, paired with a comfortable t-shirt or sometimes even a cozy onesie. With their understanding and acceptance of my adult baby identity, my doctors approach me with compassion and respect during each visit. Acknowledging the role that being an adult baby plays in my life, they wholeheartedly support this aspect of my identity as it aids me in effectively navigating and coping with my incontinence challenges. The safe space they create allows me to feel comfortable and secure, fostering a positive environment where I can openly discuss and address my medical needs without any feelings of judgment or discomfort. Through this mutual understanding and support, I am able to approach my healthcare appointments with a sense of ease, knowing that my doctors value and accommodate my unique personal circumstances. Ultimately, the acceptance and consideration shown by my medical team help me manage my incontinence with grace and dignity, making every consultation a positive and empowering experience.

I haven't told anyone outside this forum that I wear at all. And I wouldn't go to a Dr. appointment wearing one, either. I don't see the need, is all.
