Hi yall
I've started diapering 24/7 as to see how I’d do and it was surprising how easy it was for me to move into this. I was already doing 24/7 days like alone on weekends or on heavy leaky days but now I’m trying all the way every day. I have moderate amounts of pee incontinence and an occasional poop accident. But I’m not yet 100% incontinent. I still have some control. So there still is an amount of free will and choice that I don’t take for granted. A few things Im learning. Most of this is obvious but thought I’d share my experiences.
-emotional headspace. I entered a new emotional state. Some shame, relief, regression, fear and a bit of rebellion. Some of these emotions were a bit unexpected.
-need to manage smell. A wet diaper can start to smell reeeealll quick, let alone a messy. Always bring a change, plastic bag and wipes. Try hard not to mess in public or in social situations.
-find a body spray that masks the smells well
- skin care. Barrier creams, and proper wipes and cleaning is critical. Rashes (really yucky ones) were common early on. Messing too much was really bad as I had a uti. Be careful. Cortisone is your friend if you get a bad one. air your body out and try to go undiapered in bed (on pads) for a few hours,or change frequently. It’s fun to stay wet and dirty sometimes but it can be not so fun if your skin hurts.
- restriction of normal life. Travel and other activities get a bit more complicated. You have to think harder and plan everything around wearing diapers. And some social things I don’t do anymore.
-clothing. I can’t wear certain clothes. No more hip hugging revealing tight pants...at least without a long hoodie or blouse.
-“lazy bladder and bowel” I guess I could have predicted this but since I’m diapered I don’t try as hard to hold it and now that I’m 24/7 it’s effortless for me to use the diaper for the toilet. It was surprisingly easy to get used to it. Now, I find myself just going even if it’s not urgent. Sometimes I feel like I’m losing my control, and it’s more involuntary than it used to be...maybe it’s in my head. Be careful of this of you ever want to go back to “normal.”...not sure I will
-expense . It’s expensive. I’ve found brands and discounts but still...
-environment. I feel guilty about making more waste . I hope there are more biodegradable options. I’ve considered cloth and liners.
- I can work from home. If you don’t....this may be tricky
im sure more will come to mind but I’ll post more as I continue this.
love, Jess
