Going to work in a diaper

Hi there I just read an article on adisc. Ord which basically had people's experiences with work/employment on it and it struck accord with me because it mentions wearing adult diapers whilst at work.

As you know already I am particularly or should I say virtually fully incontinent due to previous and I would argue on-going disabilities I have been in diapers since 2010 when I developed a weak bladder and also because of neurological damage from epilepsy which I suffered from in my adolescence that has fortunately never returned.

Since I work at a charity shop I tend to wear diapers as my preferred means of protection as I can't always make it to the toilets on time anyway you already know this from my earlier replies on this website so I will get straight to the point, I have a few questions which have been bugging me for quite a while now so here they are.

Q1).How many other people like myself wear diapers at work and has it had a positive or negative effect on your prospects of holding down a job paid or otherwise?

Q2). How has this effected your working situation or day to day life has it improved or hindered your levels of personal dignity?

Q3). Have you found it difficult or easier to tell your friends or co-workers and family about your situation and has it caused you to loose sleep at night or has it helped you come to terms with a disability or illness.

Ok I know these questions may be a little bit on the invasive side but these are genuine questions I have been wrestling with for the past 6-7 years and yes I know some may ask why am I asking these questions now and not earlier in my life when I could have got some help well, this has to do with the fact I am shy when opening up to other people because of years of abuse from those I had mistakenly thought were my friends but were in reality out to harm me.

Anyway got to go to work soon so its good bye for now.

Yours sincerely

"Q1).How many other people like myself wear diapers at work and has it had a positive or negitve effect on your prospects of holding down a job paied or otherwise?"

I wear diapers at work. I would say it has excluded me from some fields that I was interested in, but hasn't significantly affected my ability to work in the fields that I still have unhindered access to. For example, I work in the arts, and acting is now a lot harder for me than it might previously have been, because the thickness of the diapers that I'm used to can be visible through costumes, depending on what they are. Modesty is also a luxury no one can afford during quick costume changes and it's legitimately worth considering that my castmates might be uncomfortable seeing my diapers.

"Q2). How has this effected your working situation or day to day life has it improved or hindered your levels of personal dignity?"

Improved in the sense that I no longer have to worry about wetting or filling my pants at work, but at the same time, I was never caught when I did have accidents. That probably couldn't have continued forever, but switching to diapers is a statement, one way or the other. I feel that in the sense of being a compelling, charismatic team leader, diapers have dented that.

"Q3). Have you found it difficult or easier to tell your friends or co-workers and family about your situation and has it caused you to loose sleep at night or has it helped you come to terms with a disability or illness."

I've found it easier, honestly. Knowing there's a risk they already know has made it easier to tell them. The first time I had to tell someone I built it up forever in my head to the point that I was a nervous wreck. As the knowledge spreads, I come more and more to terms with the fact that it hasn't really changed my life and that the chance that I might have to get out of diapers to escape it is diminishing (which is good because it would be very hard for me to get out of diapers).

I think that was very thoughtful post Peron.

(Q1).How many other people like myself wear diapers at work and has it had a positive or negative effect on your prospects of holding down a job paid or otherwise?"

I've worn at one time or another in almost every job I've ever had, and I've had many. In order:

plant nursery (moved) cashier, landscaper, call center, (moved) dishwasher, (moved) deckhand, dispatcher, IT technician, (moved) cashier, handyman, construction worker, retail store housekeeper, retail store maintenance technician, retail store maintenance manager, construction superintendent, and most recently, a construction project manager. (moved) indicates a significant (another state) move.

I'll write another post about back injuries and associated diaper wearing tendencies..

nowadays, I get to work from either my home office or out visiting job sites or potential jobs quite a lot, though I go to the office and work anywhere from 1-4 days a week, depending on the workload and a lot of other variables.

when at the office - I typically wear a depends with a single sz5 or 6 baby diaper stuffer. This will generally last me the better part of the workday, if not the entire workday, without issue.

On days I'm working from home or am 100% sure of minimal or no interaction with others, I might be a bit more padded.

Although I don't require them and am not "incontinent" per se, I do have days where I feel less confident. I find I'm much more productive when not having to worry about restroom breaks, and I do a lot of driving around in heavy traffic, so stopping and finding a restroom is often inconvenient, if not darn near impossible.

(Q2). How has this affected your working situation or day to day life has it improved or hindered your levels of personal dignity?"

It works quite well at absorbing the sound and odor of the occasional fart, though it's always a concern/cause for awareness for many reasons. I'm constantly checking to make sure my undershirt is tucked in and my outer shirt is not, to provide a more diffused body contour if nothing else (I'm pretty thin - 5'10, 135lbs). I'll generally ensure I'm wearing jeans that are a little larger/baggier as well. I'll typically wear some tight-fitting panties to keep the diaper snug and silent, then undershirt tucked into boxer briefs, and pants snugly belted just below the hips so the crotch is baggy and not snug/revealing. It has more of an impact on recreation and fun than anything else - I'm much less likely to participate in anything very active, or in hot weather, as I'm not very inclined to want to remove layers of clothing or have a waistband peek out...

(Q3). Have you found it difficult or easier to tell your friends or co-workers and family about your situation and has it caused you to lose sleep at night or has it helped you come to terms with a disability or illness."

what do you mean tell co-workers! I would be embarrassed to say anything. I do try and be discreet about wearing when I will be around others, and I've hoped that nobody has noticed, or if they have, they haven't said anything... most of my co-workers are aware of my back injuries and such though, so they would likely assume medical issues...

I typically sleep much better when padded.

Q1).I wear 24/7 and that includes work. I have not noticed any sort of change positive or negative about it honestly. Then again, I don't broadcast to coworkers or my boss that I am in a diaper. To me, that's like them telling me they're in briefs or boxers.

Q2). It really hasn't for the most part other than it's a bit annoying having to find a place I can change privately. Worst case scenario I could go to the medical staff and change there.

Q3). There are few people I have told about the fact that I wear diapers. For the most part, I don't think it's many peoples business honestly. Any love prospect, obviously I will be upfront with about that fact. A couple close friends know about it as well. Other than that, I don't really broadcast to people in my life what's going on.

Hi there

Q1).How many other people like myself wear diapers at work and has it had a positive or negative effect on your prospects of holding down a job paid or otherwise?

I've been wearing 24/7 since the start of the month and that includes work For me its been mostly positive I've had a weak bladder (but not weak enough to have medically incontinent) all my life. but this time I didn't try to hide the fat that i wear nappies and in fact i mentioned it in my enrollment, and wore a nappy in the interviews. It didn't effect me getting this job

Q2). How has this effected your working situation or day to day life has it improved or hindered your levels of personal dignity?

Well wearing a nappy means i don't have to be consonantly aware of where the bathroom is. I work in a data center so this has helped be more productive then i have been previously. as i said I've made hr aware of the fact that I wear nappies and the colleague I'm shadowing (Amy) knows that I wear as she spotted them the first day as I was retrieving a crew form the bottom of a server rack.

What it has meant is that I'm not running to the bathroom every few minutes my commute to work is less stressful, and i fell more relaxed and capable in my job and so id say for me its increased my level of personal dignity

Q3). Have you found it difficult or easier to tell your friends or co-workers and family about your situation and has it caused you to loose sleep at night or has it helped you come to terms with a disability or illness.

i moved to my new job and in doing so left an abusive home situation so family aren't in the picture anymore, (they literally only know that i left for my own safety they don't know where i am now) some of my co-workers know and they have been respectful and supportive if a little curious (hardest question was from Amy as to why i wear patterned nappies and i just answered that she doesn't wear the same white cotton panties each day 😜. honestly being able to live openly has been such a relief after so long its made me so much more comfortable and happy with who i am

After my prostatectomy for prostate cancer, I was fully urine incontinent. I wore pull ups to work.

A few of my closer work friends knew I had this problem. I slowly regained control moving to large pads and then smaller pads. No one ever made negative comments to me.

I am the same as rufusc24, I worked for three years before I retired wearing pull-ups 24/7 had to change sometimes three times a day. Never had anything said. I still have stress incon. And wear all the time still and it has been over ten years since my prostate removal.

I used to wear to work and did so full time for over 20 years, only rarely had major problems when things were running so late there was no time to dive into a toilet or more than often no toilet available leaving me in a fully wetted nappy with another wetting on the way, only once did I have a major overflow with other times being able to stuff another pad into my soaked nappy mopping up all the excess.

They were a life saver for me as I would have to wee around 12 times a day or more.

I retired 2 days prior to having a radical prostatectomy in 2007. Thus, I've never been concerned about wearing a diaper, or guards, to work. However, having worn guards for several months after surgery, it would not have been a problem wearing them to any job I ever had. Now that I wear diapers 24/7, I also cannot see wearing them to work being a problem. Of course, I never worked as a male stripper. Then they could be a problem. ;-)

Understand, I wear for fun and not for need. I believe if I were wearing for need, I would be prepared to change at work. In my case, I wear a pull up with a 34 oz capacity. Since I'm new to this brand/style in the past 10 days, I've been testing them to determine their limits. I have given them 2 bladder fulls with no leaking. However, they do sag quite a bit after the 2nd bladder full is empties. Thus, I think I'd do 2 things. I would definitely wear plastic pants over them to contain the sagging. Second, those 2 full bladders, assuming I emptied in the toilet before going to work, would probably (at the earliest) be emptied about 10 am and again around noon. I realize if one is incontinent, their bladders probably don't get full like mine do; but, I doubt they would produce any more, or any less, urine than I do. The point being, I'd have a spare (maybe 2) diaper with me so I could change during the noon hour. That should take care of a person until they're done with work in the afternoon. Might change into the 3rd diaper before leaving work to have a dry trip home.

About the only other thing I would do is carry several plastic shopping bags (Walmart type bags) with me to put the used diapers in for easy, and somewhat discreet, disposal.

I work construction, and I wear diapers and plastic pants 24-7 under my jeans.....no big deal.... dan

I wear 24/7, so yes I wear to work also. It's no big deal, I just need premium disposable diapers with a booster pad to get me through the work hours. There isn't a reasonable place to change.

I've worn them to work for many years. There was one occasion where I was down on all fours getting something that fell and a coworker said, "What's that?!" I expected the worst, thinking my shirt had ridden up exposing the top of my diaper, but he said, "On the screen there."

No one has ever commented or asked. I've changed in the bathroom before. I just try to be discreet. Not have I offered to tell anyone. I don't particularly care to know what they're wearing, either!

I do wear pants with a larger waist so there's more room. I find it more comfortable.
