Urinary Incontinence Support Group

I agree. We all use many kinds of "protection" - think shoes; clothes; hats; gloves; helmets; umbrellas; sunglasses; wigs; sports guards for ankles, crotch, teeth, nose; supports for limbs, joints, etc; and aids like spectacles, canes, zimmers, plaster casts, pacemakers, prostheses, stoma and catheter systems and so on. And we instinctively try to make them part of us - stylish, colourful, high-tech, state of rhe art etc. Think of the ingenuity of kids in cancer wards - fancy headgear for bald heads, racing flags on drip-stands: keep it fun! Think of the creativity in design and decor of babies disposables - holding the Mum's Market with efficiency & style. "If you can't dispense with 'em, enjoy e'm!"

Hey tempest I agree there is not crime in liking the feeling of comfort and safety. For those of us that use diapers it is kinda expected. For us diapers takes us from complete embarrassment and shame to confidence and security.
I also kinda get bored with the same old diaper all the time. For those who wear regular underwear they get nifty colors and patterns. So I like to change things up a bit. Sometimes I tape a pattern onto my diaper just for a little change. It is nice and helps to make me not get upset by my diapers.

Well I wouldn't go so far as to say that I love my nappies but I have definitely gotten past hating them to accepting them. I do think that it's great that some people can learn to like and even love their nappies. I suppose if you're stuck with something you may as well try to get on with it the best you can eh? Unfortunately my last partner really found it difficult to accept me wearing nappies and it was a massive turn off for her. Needless to say this hasn't done much by the way of getting me to 'love' my nappies, it just made me hate them even more. So no I'm in a state where I just accept them. Maybe in the future I will be able to learn to like them, we will see.

im 49 and been in diapers since I was age 9. Deep down I grew to love Pampers fast but never dreamed I was really back in 24/7. I tried several times to get better and out of diapers but never did. Other than the teasing and heat, diapers are comfy and secure. Once everyone knew and my ship was sunk, I totally stopped trying and would autoamtically go in my diapers. Accepting diapers took a while, but once I did life was good again. I could actually poke fun at friends when they had to go pee bad like in class or on the bus.

I started out being ashamed of having to be in them, but with the help of good friends and a very supporting partner I have been made comfortable being in them. I'm sry for those who have had a negative experience with their partners, but rest assured there are those out there who will take you for you,and all that you bring to the table.. I have to say that without Celtic I would of never been able to accept what I was going through.. Hangs in there all of you, because eventually you will find the one that makes you happy to be in nappies..and as always am here to help any of you.. Loves,hugs and happy diapers to you all..

I look at diapers like other items of clothing, I have coats, shoes, etc. that I really love - good fit, good quality, warm in the cold Michigan winters, etc. So I would say, yes I do love my diapers, but not all diapers are created equal. With Abena disposables and Kins cloth diapers, changes are the only thing I have to deal with. However, if I had to wear the low absorbent, leaky products available in regular retail stores, I would say "I HATE these lousy things!". I was standing there paying the bill at a resturant the other day, and as I was peeing, it was sure nice not to have to worry about it. For all the comfort and security and ease of living my diapers give me, I'm so thankful I have them. I shudder to think of what life would be like otherwise.

with the cost of diapers and the fact that Insurance won't pay for them I went to an external catheter. My insurance covers all my supplies. I know if you are an active guy it may not work, but look into them!
