What Type/Brand Bedwetting Diapers You Wore: Cloth diapers and plastic pants followed by DryNites Years You Wore Them (past daytime training): 3-4 years Ages You Wore Them (past daytime training): Diapers until I was 6, DryNites until I was 8, except for when I was babysat at my aunt's - she...

Yes. I wasn't a good traveller in the car as a kid and I'd often get car sick. I found the best way to avoid this was to close my eyes, which meant I'd usually fall asleep really quickly. And this meant wetting accidents were quite likely. It didn't help that most of the long car trips would...

I used to worry about having my diaper being visible or obvious, whether it be from the bulge, the noise or the top of it poking out of my pants. But more and more I have learnt to not care whether anyone can tell I'm wearing a diaper. I don't go round trying to make it obvious but I definitely...

To go back to a time when disposable diapers weren't available and every baby/child had to wear cloth diapers and plastic pants (I guess the 60's?). Grow up as a bedwetter in this time and have to wear thick terry-towelling diapers to bed. The clothes line always has diapers and plastic pants...

I don't remember smelling of pee - whatever smell there was from the wet nappy went with it into the garbage. It's possible I did smell of pee but other than my parents, there was no one else around to smell it. I grew up with no neighbour kids my age to play with, but thankfully we had a 5 acre...

On weekends (and school holidays) I’d often wake up before my parents and would watch the cartoons on TV. I’d sit there in my nappy or DryNites for hours, usually eating breakfast while I sat on the floor. When my parents got out of bed, they’d be in no hurry to change me out of my nappy...

I think I was pretty okay with it most of the time. The main reason for me ever resisting or complaining was when my bedwetting/nappy wearing was discussed outside my family group (I include my aunt and cousin, who were a second mother and brother throughout my childhood). Until I was six or so...

Definitely four pins when I wear cloth nappies - it’s the only way I can get a comfortable and secure fit.

Cloth diapers for sure, or any of the newer Tykables (like Waddlers, Overnights, etc. with the ‘Waddle Cut’)

I believe I’d have only had pull-ons as a kid, which is probably why I purchased and used pull-ons as an adult. They definitely provide better leak control and can go over thicker nappies plus I love how they puff out more than snap-ons. But having said all that, I do own several pairs of...

My parents liked to be old school so I wore terry towelling (square) nappies and plastic pants. They didn’t like disposable nappies at all but when I was still bedwetting at 6 years, they conceded and let me wear DryNites for a couple of years until I was dry at night.

I was a regular bedwetter until I was 8 and wore DryNites to manage it (I was in nappies until 6). I still had a plastic mattress protector up to 10 years of age to catch the occasional accident. Until I was 10 my babysitter (aunt) insisted that I wear nappies if I was sleeping over at her place.

My cousin was male and 18 months older than me. He wore nappies at night until he was 5 - I have a vague memory of both of us having nappies put on while lying on our beds, but my aunt would often say when I was younger that my bedwetting wasn’t unusual… “your cousin still wore nappies when he...

I graduated from cloth diapers at night to GoodNights about six years of age, and I wore these until I was 8 or so. My aunt had looked after me every day until I started school and she was now my regular babysitter. This meant having sleepovers with my cousin every second weekend, which I loved...

I like mine being a bit puffy with plenty of room between the plastic and the diaper, but not puffy enough that you could grab a handful of loose plastic.
