PlotTwist said:Like I had mentioned before, I've gone through most of what you're going through right now, a year ago myself. One of the biggest things to get over was "I don't *really* need to wear diapers. I mean, I CAN just run for the nearest bathroom. It just hurts to hold it, but I still CAN hold it." When it's not an outright need (like at night - for me and you, there really isn't a question if you want to sleep and wake up in a dry bed), it becomes more of a decision to get your life back to normal. I don't *need* to wear diapers during the day, but it makes me be able to do things without worrying about where the next bathroom is. I can go out with friends without having to try to empty my bladder before getting on the subway, or see a movie without interruption, or countless other things - it just makes life easier and less stressful.
I too prefer Dry24/7s as my current goto, but have been trying out Wellness Superios for daytime use. I still can make it to the bathroom 3/4ths of the time, so I don't need ALL the absorbency of the Dry24/7s, and the Superios are thinner and quieter for walking around, but are SO LOUD when taking the tapes off if you have to change in public.
I think you should lighten up about worrying about the crinkle, and try the Molicare Super Plus for daytime use. People won't know you're wearing a diaper, and if they do, they shouldn't care. I always told myself when I used to worry about it, "You're worrying about the tiniest percentage of people in this world who would make fun of someone for a medical condition, and these are the worst kind of people - you wouldn't even want to give them the time of day, let alone worry about what they think."
Thank you for saying what I have been trying to say. I agree with you 100%. I just ordered a sample pack of Molicare Super Plus to see how they work for me. I have yet to order a case. I am trying different diapers to find the perfect one for my needs. The Dry/24s are perfect for me at night time, but are too bulky and loud to use during the daytime. I would like to have a good daytime diaper that I can wear when I know I am going to be in situations that restrict my bathroom access.
I don’t think going 24/7 is right for me.
