I’m sorry you’re going through this too - it took me a long time to accept that I needed to go back into diapers 24/7 when my nervous system started packing up due to chronic illness. These days I use a toilet when I can at home, but because of my disabilities it’s often easier and safer for...

Sorry to hear your struggles @Lilah - being reliant on diapers 24/7 isn’t easy. But as I’ve said elsewhere - when you really need them, diapers don’t hold you back, they take you forward. I’ve needed diapers medically my whole adult life 24/7 due to nerve damage caused by chronic illness. Why I...

I think it’s unlikely that diapers will be considered mainstream, but with the growth and wider publicity of disability awareness - in different forms, I do foresee the diaper stigma slowly eroding, which IMO is a good thing. Considering the wider acceptance of other disability aids, and the...

I don’t go out of the way to show my diaper off - especially not publicly or when I’m working. With a mix of loose fitting clothes (jeans that are a size up) and plain onesies this makes the bulk less obvious. But at the same time, I prefer absorbency over discretion - when you’re a wheelchair...

For me it depends on the context, but I’m always diapered for IC reasons. Most of the time I’m sat down as I use a wheelchair, so the waistband is more noticeable. However, most of it is covered by my chair’s backrest and side guards, which balances it out. I always wear a onesie (normally...

I’m IC, so being diapered isn’t a lifestyle choice for me - but I’ve started to wear more openly around my girlfriend, when it’s just the two of us. She’s aware of my diaper needs and it’s not a secret between us. She’s said she feels more relaxed when she can see my diaper, because she knows...

@CrossfireHurricane I hope your date goes well. A lot of us here are rooting for you. I appreciate your concerns, but on one level, first dates are out of everyone’s comfort zone, regardless of what underwear they have on. Sometimes we can get so bogged down in logistics and micromanaging, we...

What helped is that I’d been wearing thicker ABDL diapers most of that week. I’d just been wearing a onesie to conceal them better. Breathe Deep, Seek Peace Dinotopian2002

Yes, I’m a singer - frontman in a part time rock band - most of what we play is a mix of 80’s punk and new wave (Ramones, The Buzzcocks), and classic 2000’s rock (Arctic Monkeys, The White Stripes). I started playing with a couple of guys locally after lockdown, wanting to prove at least to...

In my case, I’m definitely IC first and a DL second, and I try to prioritise my IC first, especially when posting here. It’s taken me a long time to accept my padded state, but being padded 24/7 and being able to enjoy parts of that state, is much better than feeling bad about it. If I’m a DL...

Yes really. I did. Why? Let me explain: Firstly, I’m medically IC, so I need a diaper 24/7. Secondly, I was working long hours, full time for a week (I’m chronically sick and this isn’t easy for me). Thirdly, I didn’t have a lot of space in my bag, so this meant I could cut down on diaper...

That’s okay. It just sounds like you haven’t found the right kind of diaper yet for your needs. For my own two cents, I’m in medical diapers at least 60% of the time. If I’m wearing ABDL diapers, it’s more often because I need that extra absorbency, rather than because of the prints. Either...

As someone who is IC and padded 24/7, I feel your worries. But at the same time, it’s not as insurmountable as you may think. Firstly, it’s more common than you think for men to carry bags these days - especially if it looks like a discreet messenger back or rucksack. And if she asks, just say...

I wrestled with dating for a number of years because of my diaper needs, but honestly, in some ways it was a good thing. Why? Because it helped separate the wheat from the chaff. From my experience from needing both diapers and a wheelchair, the most important things are attitude and...

I was single for a long time and currently I have a girlfriend but we live in different towns either side of London, UK. So I’m often by myself at weekends. That being said, chronic illness and disability mean I can be quite a homebody, a lot of the time I read, write, watch Netflix or play my...
