I love diapers a lot, and I do crave them, but I don't get them often. Expense is one aspect, although they're not terribly expensive, but I just don't get the chance to freely wear that often.
My wife doesn't know about my DL or little side, and we have four kids aged 14-21 living at home, all with school or different work hours, and my wife's jobs hours are extremely erratic as well, so even when I've got them, I rarely have the necessary solo time to use them.
I haven't bought any in months, and the last time, I would often wear one for a couple of hours in the early morning before the younger kids got up, but, guaranteed, the older ones or the wife would be up and getting ready for work or college. I wore one for five days, a couple of hours a day, before I finally got the chance to use it!
Yes, I could safely use it in the bathroom, but I like sitting outside, or in the living room, pretending to have an accident, not just hiding in the bathroom deliberately using it, only to take it off immediately. I want to leave the wet one on for a while, and enjoy it.
I generally buy them only on the rare occasions where I know the family will be safely gone for at least a day. Boxing Day was the last time I think, and I got to lounge around happily padded all day.
But, at the same time, it does make those rare occasions so much better. It's like a special treat for me, and keeps the excitement fresh
