Topic title basically says it all. I've been a DL since I was a little boy, some of my earliest memories are sneaking diapers out of my mom's baby sitting nursery before I went to kindergarten and wearing diapers in secret. I've worn basically in private off and on my entire life, but always by choice. Well,I guess be careful what you wish for, because I've recently developed a long term illness that is weakening my bladder muscles. At first it was waking up and going pee like 4 or 5 times a night, so I thought maybe I was having prostate problems, but after I started having a few actual unintended accidents at night, i went to a urologist and my prostate is fine. Rather, this just another part of living with my illness, something I wasn't expecting. Thus, my doctor recommended I start wearing overnight briefs to sleep because the problem is likely going to progress and accidents more frequent.
I have to admit, while I'm sort of upset that I now don't get to choose to wear diapers anymore, the thought of needing them and transitioning from this being a once and a while thing to an every night for the rest of my life thing is kind of exciting. In my past, I was always incredibly quiet about wearing diapers, but I was caught once by my mom when I was in highschool, who was very concerned and puzzled. I never actually explained what was going on, but she did ask me upfront if I wanted to wear diapers going forward full time. Being a teenager and in school and such, I of course said no and we never brought it up again. But a part of me always regretted that I didn't actually say yes, and wondered what that would have been like. So the prospect of getting to live the other road taken is kind of exciting to me. I'm sure the reality will actually not be as fun as I'm thinking, but at the moment I'm enjoying the thrill.
That brings me to this topic: In the past, when I wore diapers for fun, I'd splurge and buy those really expensive ABDL diapers online. Those are typically like $40 for 10, which is expensive. When it's a once and while thing, I could afford that, but turning now to actually needing them every night, the cost is a worry. I've already made up my mind that I want to wear plastic backed diapers, those have always been my favorite, not something like a pull up or cloth backed. Unfortunately it seems like basically every store I go to has stopped selling plastic backed adult diapers. Like, depend now only has these kind of crappy thin briefs that I don't want to wear. Buying cheap, plastic backed depends or similar was my go to plan originally, but that doesn't seem feasible anymore. For people who are full time incontinent, how do you deal with the cost, and is there an online source for plastic backed diapers that I'm missing which would be cost affective?
EDIT: Also should note, I checked with my insurance, and they don't cover diapers even with a diagnosis from doctor, so that's not an option.
