37 yrs old And In Diapers.

Like many people my age I never thought that I would be sitting down and writing this subject whilst class in diapers and yet here it is 37 yrs of age now approaching 38 yrs of age this October on the 21st and scarcely enough nearly 40, wow how time has flown in the six to seven years since my diagnosis of a weak bladder and my un-ceriomonous return to wearing something akin to a toddler 34 years since I was last supposedly potty trained aged 3.5yrs in 1984.

I can't say it's been an easy road choosing to go back to becoming essentially a toddler in terms of bodily functions but if my body is telling me that I should never been potty trained in the first place then so be it I won't fight it.

My feelings about having to return to padding well I am both comfortable and less stressed out because I have re-discovered the feel I had as a child in more innocent times, I don't classify myself as either a ABDL but if I have to wear diapers for the rest of my life than do be it as I can now sleep easier at night knowing that I have protection against any embarrassing accidents and I am enjoying waking up to a dry bed.

I think many people who don't know me may think I have a fettish for these things orcam weird but noihing is further from the truth in real life I am disabled and suffer from a variety of psycalogical issues steming from ptsd left over from years of being the victim of remorselessly bullying and abuse, so becoming a child again is a welcome release from these problems that still haunts me to this day and which I am sure many of you can appreciate.

I wear adult sized disposable diapers because they are more comfortable than my regular cloths and also because I need to get myself back into the mentality of becoming a baby/toddler again for only the second time in my life.

Yours sincerly

Many adults have to wear diapers but that doesn't necessarily mean they become adult babies. That's a choice only you can make. Please keep that in mind.

Adult baby diapering is by choice!

Your diaper wearing is by need so you can function Big difference there!!

You are not reverting back, you are another phase in life that most of us dread! But it happens!

Be proud you don't let this keep you from living life! I proud of you!

Chinababe, let me say that your not the only one. I felt the same way as you. I have a spinal cord injury that made me totally incontinent at age 41. I came home from the doctor's office wearIng a disposable diaper which I wasn't planning on. After seeing many specialist and being told they can't do anything about it, I thought it was the end of the world. Here I'm 41 wearing diapers 24/7, my ex-wife left me because she's not going to be married to a baby. All this happening in a months time my good life is coming to the end. I was embarrassed, upset, and humiliated. To this day I'm still very private about wearing diapers, my family and friends don't know about it, only my son.

As time went by I realize that my incontinence was a big part of my life.

I had to change my lifestyle a bit, but I'm alive and healthy. It was hard to deal with it all. Actually this is how I found zity biz. There are very good members here that are or have went through the same thing. Many members have helped me on this. Talking to others that understand what your going through is a good way of dealing with it. Being incontinent and wearing diapers doesn't make you any less of a person or even adult baby. It's the persons choice to wear diapers for need or fun. It took awhile for me to even be comfortable to go out in public, but I learned to accept it and do everything I can to not be noticeable.

I hope this helps you. Indiana

Sorry to update this but I had it wrong I was potty trained at 5 yrs of age not 3.5 as I had erroneously stated in error.

Although I don't regret going back to wearing Diapers as I feel I made the right decision in 2010.

Yours sincerely

Pardon my lack of eloquence in writing, but here goes:

I've worn diapers for most of my life by choice but I've recently had an injury (T12 Spinal fracture) that has on occasion quite surprised me with a lack of bladder control - some days I'm fine and other days I'll be going before I even realize it.

I do think "outsiders" (people that have never worn for medical or personal reasons) seriously underestimate just how much confidence having "protection" gives you, as well as the gamut of emotional and psychological impacts it has on one's self.

Certainly, how diapers will now fit into your life will be a journey, but I definitely think you are approaching it with the right attitude!

While "incontinence garments" can certainly be inconvenient to some degree, it's definitely good to focus on the positive aspects of medical need/protection from embarrassing situations.

As for the emotional gauntlet, at this point in my life, it's subtle and I don't even think about it, but I should more often, as it really can have an amazing and beneficial aspect to the whole situation.

When I do take the time to focus on it, it evokes a state of (mental) "being" that results in feelings and emotions of being loved, accepted, and cared for - certainly a "hole" as far as my current life/situation is concerned, but also throughout my life.

Yes, I'm deeply concerned with others finding out, and yes, I've had two long-term (7+ year) relationships that have not been supportive of this aspect of my life, so that's certainly a challenge that I have yet to overcome.

I think a large part of the emotional/psychological benefits (and challenges!) for me has been the acceptance factor.

Typically when you are in the baby/toddler phase of life, you aren't concerned with how other people view you - it's only later in life that we learn how to judge ourselves through some perceived notion of what other people will think.

Really being comfortable in your own skin, with who you are, is key in dealing with things that other people may consider curious, odd, kinky, or taboo at first glance.

As a child, I was beaten for bedwetting(among other things) and quickly learned how to hide and deal with it. It took me many years to gain the maturity and perspective to move past that and focus on the few positive elements of my childhood, rather than the many negatives.

looking back now, I think that wearing diapers has, to some degree, helped fulfill emotional needs that were not met as a child.

I never knew my birth mother as a child, as I was adopted at 2 yrs old (though I was re-united with her a few years ago) there are many questions I still don't have the balls to ask relating to how I was cared for and under what conditions - the adoption agency told my adoptive parents some rather sad and horrifying conditions...

Personally, I consider it as an underwear preference, that falls into the "briefs" category of the classic "boxers or briefs" questionnaire, and that's really nobody's business but your own.

Thank you for having the courage to share and seek support from the community. I've only been on this site a week and It's been amazing so far.

Cheers!

Here I am wearing a nappy just like I have had to for the last 26 years with my bladder being small and needing frequent opportunities to empty, it is a ""catch 22" scenario as a youngster I would always go to avoid any "accidents" and over the years the bladder shrunk resulting in it eventually doing its own thing to my extreme embarrassment.

Having been sat here typing this it has gone off twice so far and these days without any warning at all.

Nappies have been an absolute lifeline providing security for me to continue with my life almost unnafected by a misbehaving bladder.
