    Diapers allow me to ..... (Fill in the blank)

    Let go and move on. Stop debating, worrying, and over planning.

    Accepting incontinence

    This is the best thing I have read in a long time. "Butt wrapper" will be my new term! And thanks to this forum, I can say: "I'm okay with wearing a butt wrapper."

    Any issues that make you more incontinent?

    I think I wet more when it's cold because I sweat less and so there's more liquid to be flushed out through the bladder. But pain, illness, and stress all eat up attention bandwidth. When my attention gets that divided, my body takes over, especially if I'm already wet. I'll go for a while and...

    IC - time to give up using the toilet for #1?

    I have conceded to the fact that diapers are necessary while out and about, but especially when we were in London! I took no chances there. At home the struggle is still very real.

    Urinary IC... Shave down there?

    Trim. Shaving can be a nightmare of issues, and being totally bald down there just weirds me out.

    During the summer, what do you wear to cover your diaper?

    I have about 7 men's bathing suits that I wear as shorts. Men's bathing suits have the mesh inside like underwear swen in, and find that wearing a bathing suit with that mesh pulled up and the drawstring tied tightly holds everything in place almost as good as a onesie. You can find them where...

    Is the protection part of the problem?

    They tend to make me feel like I constantly need to go while also making me leak small amounts without noticing. They also use up brain bandwidth, I feel less focused when I take them and much less vigilant. I have seen a doctor. She found reasons. Verification is good, I guess. Nothing...

    Is the protection part of the problem?

    I have issues with both bladder and bowel control, and although it's been a lifelong issue, there's been a steep decline in the past few years. Worsening control depends on many factors, caffeine, alcohol, antihistamine use, running water (even just the sound sometimes) can take my run-time...

    For those with primarily urinary incontinence, how often, if at all, do you use your diaper for BMs?

    Sometimes I know I won't be able to make it, so I use the diaper. Distance, pressure, the amount of pain, access to a bathroom, etc., are all factors. It's an odd perspective, I guess, but if I use it on purpose, I haven't "lost" the battle because I decided to use the dip for its intended...

    If you wet the bed as a kid, did it naturally come back as an adult?

    Not an option, but once I started to wear and rely on diapers during the day, nighttime control plummeted to "no dry nights" within a year.

    Fungal infection question

    Lotramin AF from the drug store, airing out as much as possible (a hair dryer after a shower or change helped) and about three weeks of keto got rid of mine. Also, corn starch in powder can feed the yeast. It seems counter intuitive, but try to avoid powders. And, if you use covers, onesies...

    Whats your preferred padding for dealing with Incontinence? Pull-ups, Medical Grade Diapers or ABDL Diapers?

    I have various sizes and absorbencies for different situations. Overnight is usually cloth (or a Better Dry if I'm feeling risky and don't want to pin that night.) During the day is probably going to be an m4, but I think that they've gotten worse over the past few years, so I've been using...

    Do you wear just a diaper (at home) or do you wear something to cover them?

    Since I work from home, I usually just wear a diaper and a shirt with socks all day. When my wife is here, she prefers I go without pants to keep an eye on the blue line and remind me to change ( I can get absorbed in a task and really don't notice how full it gets a lot of the time). It makes...
