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.  

[Little Sherri]

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.

I told my doctor for a couple of reasons. I needed to tell someone because I was bursting at the seams living in the closet but I couldn’t tell just anyone (obviously). I also had known him as my doctor for about 15-20 years and knew him to be a really cool open minded individual which made it easy to talk about.  Once I’d told him and gotten it off my chest and out of my head it was actually easier to then tell my wife about it. She also is pretty open minded and in her own words, “you like what you like.”  So there you go

Hope that helps.

I've told my therapist when I was dating someone I wanted to tell (thankfully I didn't end up telling cause we broke up months after lol) and she was kind about it. I tried to describe it all as vaguely as possible and she asked some questions, said it was interesting and that she understood why I'd be scared to disclose it, but that she thought my ex would be understanding as my therapist saw it as a pretty harmless thing to enjoy. I'm still not sure if she was right about that one cause I think that girl would have freaked out lol.

My GP knows I wear protection for IBS, but anything beyond that isn't something I want or need to tell her.

I’m in the process of finding a new dr.  So to be polite i ask in advance if it would be an issue that im 24/7 wearer by choice. Would That be a problem.   I’ve gotten 2 no’s that won’t be a problem and one said we can give you medication to help you stop wearing for your mental health issue.

I'd stay away from the third.

So that one practitioner has somehow unilaterally categorised your preference for diapers into a diagnose-able condition AND developed a drug-based cure for it?  Or, and I don't want to pretend to be a medical practitioner here but I think simple Occam's razor should suffice, are they talking through their hat?

[Snugglebear_69]

I follow a very simple formula, if it isn't a medical issue then my medical professionals don't need to know. Seriously, why would I put that on them it isn't what they're there to do. A therapist, maybe, my doctor, HELL NO! That isn't fair to her and at the age of 46 I hope I'm rationale and responsible enough to consider people other than myself.

[Tony1988]

I guess my problem is with all this is.  It’s ok for someone to identify as what ever they want out in public.  A cismen, ciswomen, transmale, transfemale, fury and this list goes on and on.   And it’s all ok but as soon as you say you like wearing diapers there’s something wrong with you.  When will we get are it’s ok to be diapered.

1st off I have been wearing Diapers off and on since I was 11 or 12 and really got into it as a teenager. Then through the years, I would use one of my kid's diapers and or bought from the store. In Nov. 2020 I got sick with COVID-19 I was hospitalized and put into a COMA for about 21/2 weeks. They brought me out of the Coma I did not have to pee after a day, or they came in and drained me. That night while sleeping I wet the bed and continued to wet the bed as I could only wait maybe a 1 or 2 minutes and I was wetting the bed. After a day of this, the night nurse came to my room to check on me. She had an armload of adult diapers after some discussion I was diapered. I stayed diapered until I went home. When it was time for me to leave a nurse brought me a few diapers and some pull-ups to wear until I we could get to a store to buy some supplies. I am now considered INCONTINENT. I have managed to go from wearing diapers and wetting them to going through a month's supply in a month and having an auto supply for almost 4 years. I wear now diapers with a booster at night and plastic panties and most days I wear a Pull-Up when at work. There are bad days when I do wear a diaper and plastic pants instead of a Pull-Up. Last Nov. when I saw my doctor he did not ask me since I had come home from the hospital the doctor always had a checklist that I had to fill out and one of the questions was Are Incontinent? I checked YES, I AM INCONTINENT! He never questions me about it. I said Doc I have to wear diapers all he said was I can give a drug that may help! I said No as I have read on several websites where people have taken drugs from a doctor be it their PC doctor or urologist. Almost everyone has quit drugs due to the bad side effects.  All he said was OK if you want to stay in diapers that is up to you. So in November when I see the doctor for my annual, we will see what he says if anything. I am happy in my diapers and the wife does care one way or the other. She says she cannot tell when I am wearing and when I am not. If I do not wear a diaper and plastic pants I am wearing a Pull-Up.

Being diapered hasn't limited or taken away your legal rights. It hasn't been used as political rhetoric to harm people or dehumanized them. You can wear diapers under your clothing with no issue. Trying to compare wearing diapers to the legal and safety issues faced by people who are gender diverse is like comparing apples and oranges and it ignores so much. The comparison has been made before and it's was false and harmful then, just as it is now. As someone who is genderfluid and a public speaker on the subject I receive multiple threats to my safety, career, family and life EVERY YEAR, when is the last time someone did that to someone for wearing diapers? If you think being gender diverse is, as you put it, "it's all ok" you really need to do some self educating because that is so far from the truth.

I'm going to refrain from going much further here and will end simply by saying that trying to make such a comparison between wanting to wear diapers and gender identity is beyond offensive.

Yes my doctor and nurse in the dr know.  It has happened that I have had accidents while waiting for the dr.  So my wife ha had to change me.  Luckily she brought a new diaper, powder and wipes.

[Little Piglet]

Yes, my doctor who has been my Physician for many years knows that I wear diapers. When I revealed to my Physician that I wear diapers at the time I did not wear them 24/7 like I do now. I only wore mostly at night for comfort and to help me relax while sleeping. I also was getting up to pee at the toilet too many times and using a diaper gave me a much better sleep. So I told them that and nothing about my lifestyle as an Adult Baby Diaper Lover. So I told my Physician part of the story , but not the full story.

Now I wear 24/7 and the Physician is still my doctor and no questions are every asked.

My doctor knows I wear 24/7 and also knows I am an adult baby as well. They have on my medical records and they know I am required to be diapered.
