Anybody find it difficult to wear at night, what with typical erections in your sleep? I find I either wake up cause the diaper is pinning me down painfully, or wake up in the morning with it pointing up and out of most of the padding. Anyone have this problem/potential solution?
 
I've had that happen when I was just starting to wear, It was uncomfortable and you couldn't tape properly. If you wear more often that shouldn't be such a problem and if you do other things while wearing it'll go away, at least for me the solution was to wear more often and think about something else, you'll get used to it.
 
I had a slight problem like this when I first started wearing at night, but I think it was due to inexperience in how to properly diaper myself. As far as it being above the padding, I found that since I left Depends and started wearing ABU, Bambino and Cuddlez, I don't have that problem anymore.
 
you can go with an oversize diaper to increase "vetical coverage". It's been my experience that XP Medical's A+ diapers have some of the highest padding. Size large can give me over an inch of padding remaining, "worst case".
 
I had this issue when I first started wearing a few years ago. Being above average in size made it uncomfortable to wear in my sleep, so I found a way to deal with it. My solution was to tape the diaper slightly lower to give some extra growing room. It might also be an option for you to buy a slightly larger size.
 
I don't have an issue with it. At my age mine's so small if he did grow he wouldn't find the top of my cloth prefold.
 
I wake up with erections, sometimes painful one until I empty my bladder
 
Diapers tend to start out with a "W" shape at the crotch when you put them on, with a crease up the middle, front-to-back. In most cases I adjust that before/after taping up so that it's more of a "V", with the fold DOWNWARD, leaving room for parts as well as drainage to the back, as I sleep on my side. That really helps use the back padding, instead of flooding forward and up, leading to major leaks around the wings in the front.

Unfortunately the V isn't compatible with most pants and shorts, whose high crotch tends to return my diaper to the W shape. Girls have it pretty lucky that way, with skirts.

Very true indeed!
 
I use to experience this too. I started using bigger diapers (adult diapers vs baby diapers) and got better at daipering myself. What kind of padding do you use? I'd say try a bigger size or brand if that's an option or just keep practicing and experimenting with it.
 
Like the others have said, I'd either go a bigger size or find a way to diaper yourself that keeps the junk in place and from going haywire during the night.
 
Right now I'm doing either cloth or molicare super plus at night, both of which are a bit on the larger side for me, I guess I'll just have to start wearing more and getting used to it! lol Thanks for the advice all
 
That erection thing is part of life so i dont suggest going bigger, because the fit wont be right.If it peaks out, raise the front side of the diaper and lower the back, because if the diaper is too big, you lose tat great fit sensation.
Wear more often and in 2 years that 'happy' problem should subside.
 
This happens if i try and put it on in bed, I usually place the nappy behind me then it goes up, i try abd think of unattractive things or another subject intirely and wait for it to go down then tape up tightly.
 
I count myself pretty lucky in this area. I happen to be very small - 4-5 inches at full attention - which I love. Erections rarely make it anywhere near the top of my diaper. I agree they can be uncomfortable, but a little manual adjustment to point in the right direction, and all is well.

I mentioned before in another thread that I find it difficult to wet while lying down in the bed. I deliberately manually adjust and ensure my penis faces downwards when putting on my nappy so if I pee its held in. I also try and ensure that the front of the nappy is placed slightly higher than the back to give a bit more space and in order to prevent leaks. The downside I think though might be that when I do become erect because I deliberately try and face my penis downwards it ends up quite tight up against my nappy, which I am thinking might be a contributing factor to not being able to wet properly by night.

I'm just trying to find a balance between not having my nappy on too tight, but also not too loose that I end up leaking.

I think that this is something I will need to find a balance on, alongside trying to get used to peeing lying down I mention in another thread.
 
um you just have to... service yourself before bed and that issue will go away
