Diapers are nice when you hurt yourself

This is weird since I don't usually tell anyone intimate details of my life but this is too relevant to pass up. This morning I was showering and I sort of crouched down and accidentally sat right down on the metal rod that you pull up from the faucet to make the showerhead work. Had it been a couple inches lower, I would have had an awkward emergency room trip. It hurt like all hell as can be imagined and it left a big red bruise down where the sun don't shine. Fortunately, that means my diaper acts as a sort of cushion since it hurts so much! Like a great big butt Band-Aid.
Oh, and I broke the stupid mechanism so now it's stuck. Geez.
 
Diapers are also convenient for when you're sick or have diarrhea. You don't have to get up while padded, and keeps you from running to the toilet every 5 minutes. They can also be useful if you have broken leg and have a hard time moving.

Sometimes I get into small accidents like twisting my foot or falling and making it hard to walk for a few hours, and to help me stay off my feet I put a diaper on so I can recover quicker.
 
Great for hiking on more populated trails, where it's not exactly easy to find a place where you're sure no one's going to walk up on you in the middle of something.

Or when you sprained your ankle on a hike and wind up not wanting to put any weight on your leg for a few days.

The whole spout with the plunger either unscrews or there is an allen screw underneath that holds it in place. The replacement can be bought at any hardware store probably for under $10.

Thanks. I figured it was a cheap fix but I was annoyed that my painful butt jab broke the durn thing!
 
When I go out biking in the early morning, I'm usually wearing a thick cloth diaper which gives me a lot more padding than either my bike shorts give me or my bicycle seat provides.

I never thought of that! My bike used to have the most uncomfortable seat. This would have been nice to have!
 
They are also great for whenever you have a fever.
 
A few years back I fell on ice and severely bruised my knee, I had to go to an orthopedic doctor to get water drained out, I also had a hair line crack on my knee cap, I was pretty much couch / bed ridden for a week, diapers were such a lifesaver, even my GF at the time was thankful for them, I literally couldn't bend my leg so getting up and moving around was aweful
 
They actually do make a great bandaid.

I've had a number of surgeries down there, either the penis, anus, lower back, and right now my lower abdomen too. The diaper does a great job at absorbing any blood.
 
I love them for when I'm sick, so if I don't want to move, I don't have too. I also do a good amount of physical activity, and some nights I'm too sore, or too tired to want to be concerned with getting up. Had my goodnites save my sheets many a night!
 
My mate, who is NOT AB/DL wears them for tummy troubles and when she had a broken leg. She wears the terrible Wal-mart pull-on kind that don't hold much but they save her bacon (and she's not wearing for fun, so as long as they work).

This is very true. I get ill every year, as I imagine most people do, but I've been in diapers for the last three years and the last three illness seasons have been the most relaxed I've had.
 
Agreed. I had a fever once and I was all wrapped up on the couch while wearing a diaper. I usually can't pee while I'm lying down on my back, but that time I just did it. It felt so nice to just lay there and let go.
 
Last year I had an accident at work badly breaking my ankle and leg 3 seperate breaks and some metal work installed. I had just ordered my first lot of abu space and they were not only very helpful but they were very comforting while I was laying in pain. I was in hospital for a week and I so wish I had the guts to tell nurses I need a diaper.. the day of my accident I decided to not go to work padded which at that time I wore almost everyday. I would have been totally embarrassed had paramedics cut off my clothes exposing diaper. Although once the morphine kicked in I don't think I would have cared.
