Yes Tommy, it does take some of the enjoyment out of wearing a diaper for need instead of for fun. I've had to wear them for need now for over 5 years, and the longer I do, the less I like it. At first, it was kind of exciting, because that was something I had fantasized about for years, but the reality of it brings into focus a lot of things you never even think about in the fantasy. There are the messy diapers in a crowded department store or restaurant, or car show, whatever, where ever, and your diaper bag is in the car. You have to decide, do I go home, or do I change here, if I can find a rest room that will accommodate it. And if you aren't close enough to home to just go and change there, do you have enough diapers and supplies with you to handle it? How many do you take with you each time you go out? How bad will it stink, and are you ready for the looks and comments you could get from people about it? I've had this happen in my doctors office 3 times now, and had to go and change before he could see me.
My biggest problem with being incontinent is the bowel incontinence. I could handle just the bladder fine. But because I'm cursed with having both, it really makes my life difficult at times. I have to plan my day around my diaper, so to speak. It had cut down my social life to almost none. I'm just now finally getting back to going out for different things and not caring so much about what other people may see or think. Most all of my friends now know about my problem, and that has helped tremendously, because I don't need to explain why I'm carrying a back pack around, or why I leave the restaurant in the middle of a meal to go out to my car for my back pack.
But if you are thinking about doing this as an experiment for yourself, you need to make it as realistic as you can, if you want to truly know what someone that is really incontinent goes through on a daily basis.
