Has wearing diapers caused you become diaper dependent?

I slowly became more dependent on them after accidents and my wife put her foot down.

I just went to 24/7. So my answer is yes. I got tired of all the leakage, changing with pads all the time. My diapers are just as cheap as pads for as many I have to use.

Yes, I'm dependent. I was loosely following the 12 Month Diaper Training Program when I became dependent, which probably had something to do with it.

I wouldn't say it caused me to become dependent. I toilet trained very late and have had chronic minor to moderate continence issues throughout my life. Full-time diapering did jam a crowbar into my continence insecurity and force it wide open, to the point of actual incontinence.

In a word NO!!!, it hasn't made me dependent on wearing diapers despite the warning from my doctor's, I have already been incontinent since 2010 since I developed problems with my bladder at the age of 30yrs.

I was slow to be potty trained due to my childhood disabilities and this meant I was in diapers until I reached the age of five years, after that I went 30 years without wearing or needing diapers until one day in March of 2010 my body basically betrayed me or/ rather showed me I should never have been potty trained in the first place.

Becoming dependent on diapers through wearing them is a choice although it also depends a lot on the person who's wearing them if your disabled then your already dependent on them.

Conditional incontinence is a myth by doctors to warn people not to wear them, although like any myth there is some truth in it so be careful what you wish for.

Personally myself nowerdays well I can honestly say that I've come to terms with wearing diapers and I am totally at peace with myself for making the right decisions when I did even though It now means I will be diapers for the rest of my natural life and I don't view it as a virtual prison sentence so to speak of but more as an opertunity to rediscover the joys I had as child all those years ago.

Yours sincerely

My urinary urge incontinence is the result of a surgical mishap that I experienced when I was 14 years old. I’m 75 now and have never been dry at night since the surgical mishap. However, when I was in my teens, I was a fanatic about doing Kegel excercises (although that term didn’t appear until a few decades later). As a result, by the time I was in my fourth year of high school, I got to the point that I could go without a daytime diaper provided I was close enough to a bathroom that I could get there in 5 minutes or so whenever an “urge” struck. That continued until I was in my 40’s, at which point my condition worsened to the point that managing my bladder became so much of a bother that I decided to go back to wearing a diaper during the daytime and found that doing so greatly relieved my anxiety about having visibly wet pants. So I’ve now been in diapers 24/7 for about 30 years. As a result, I have certainly become diaper dependent.

I would have to say yes that I'm dependent on wearing diapers. Being urinary incontinent wearing 24/7 made me this way. I could use the internal or external catheters and do on very rare occasions. Since I became incontinent I made up my mind that I was going to live my life as normal as possible with having incontinence. I'm a very active person and choose to wear diapers instead of catheters for my lifestyle. Having a urine bag strap to my leg or even carrying it all the time isn't for me. Catheters are uncomfortable and everything that is involved with them. I'm comfortable with wearing diapers and fits my lifestyle so much better than the catheters.

No because I only wear them one-two nights a week or maybe for a 4-5 hours every week or two--when I'm able and in the mood.

But I can see where--in my case--if I wore them all the time I may very well become dependent upon them. I get so used to relaxing my muscles down there and wetting as soon as I feel the urge, that after a while I do start getting to the point of peeing without thinking about it.

The longer I wear them, the harder it is to "go back" to being in control and it's sort of a reverse process, I'm very urge-incontinent for a day or two until I relearn how to control everything.

So maybe wearing them will not physically make you incontinent, but for me, it sure does seem to make me voluntarily give up control to the point that effectively I am.

If you maintain voiding patterns your body doesnt care or know if your using a toilet a diaper or an empty beer bottle, nor does it care. However if you change your patterns by more frequently voiding you can eventually cause a pseudo incontinence condition. That is virtually indistinguishable from actual incontinence .

I slowly became but more and more dependent on them. After many accidents in bed and I gradually started to wet my underwear. My wife first imposed them on me, then after consultation with my doctor, he diagnosed me with an overactive bladder and urge incontinence due to my diabetes, and that it should be up to me to choose between a catheter and a diaper. My wife's unanimous choice was definitely the diapers, and of myself too. From there, I wear washable diapers and plastic pants because they are very comfortable, in addition to helping me feel safe from getting my pants and furniture wet. So yes I depend on my diapers, because they are part of my daily life now.

I’m not sure of the answer to this, but am I intrigued to know more. I wet the bed constantly as a child and also had occasional daytime accidents until I was in my early teens. In my forties my interest in diapers and wetting re-emerged and began wearing diapers for pleasure, mostly at the weekends. I am now in my sixties and a few years ago began to suffer from urge incontinence - initially occasional daytime accidents when I just couldn’t make it to the bathroom in time and then I also began wetting the bed again. I now have virtually no bladder control and, most recently, also mess myself occasionally.

I have seen people who have worn for a long period of time have accidents. They seem to need to go more often because the bladder shrinks. People don't consciously think to hold their urine for long periods of time while diapered so it shrinks. In my case I had been wearing and forgot I was not diapered. I soaked my pants. Shame on me maybe I should just stay in diapers.🤞

I don't know about others but I have become emotionally and sexually dependent on wearing cloth diapers and rubber pants, but I don't believe I am physiology dependent. I just potty whenever the urge comes and make no effort to hold myself. As to messing my diaper, I do have control and will mess if my girlfriend will allow me or tells me to. On 3 or 4 occasions she told to go ahead and mess in my diaper even though we were out and doing something where I could be embarrassed. Happened twice when we were out hiking and once when we were at the mall. I was very embarrassed and she tease me a little, telling me I was still her big baby boy and mommy would have to change me.

After 50 plus years of playing in diapers I've never had a problem controlling my bladder until the last few years. I can still stay dry when the first bladder spasms hit. But they get increasingly worse to where I'll lose the fight if I can't get to the bathroom. Since I've retired I wear diapers nearly 24/7 for fun. What I've noticed lately is My control is weakening. I 'll lose the battle during the first urge. Ending up with a wet diaper front before I can stop it. I really believe the incontinence is due to not fighting to hold it. I think I could retrain to a certain extent, but why bother. Even my wife feels i should just use my diaper like a toddler and sometimes locks the bathroom door to prove the point. So, we'll see what happens. lol

I've been back in diapers for half of my life and yes have became more dependent can't seem to hold but just for a min or two.When my wife and go on vacation [must] be in diapers to avoid being embarrassed this is not dl thing.

It's totally humilitiatng but that's why I like it.

I have found after wearing diapers for 2-3 days that I cannot urinate unless I have a diaper on. When I'm non-diapered, I don't consciously think about the need to urinate, nor do I try unsuccessfully to go. It might be 12 hours before I put a diaper on again and as soon as I have a diaper on, I will flood it with the biggest piss imaginable. The feeling as I do this is amazing, like the best piss ever!! There's no incontinence or bedwetting, just an absence of going.

I think it happens. Maybe not 100%, but too close. I think over time, when worn often enough, your body adjusts and it gets easier and easier to unknowingly wet. Not necessarily full wettings, but it slowly dribbles out of you into the diaper. One minute you are dry, next wet. Wet without feeling a thing, worse during sleep. Fall asleep dry, wake wet. Definitely over time, but could take a while. A slight form of untraining.

I have worn diapers or guards for over 13 years 24/7. I have stress incontinence after having my prostate removed. I really don't need them at night but have worn cloth diapers and waterproof pants every night and use them every night. I could go without and would stay dry most all the time but love my diapers and it is nice not getting up to pee. Am I dependent? No, just addicted.

For me, not fully, or, not yet. But, over time, many years, it has, definitely, gotten much easier to wet. Many many times, I have gone to sleep completely dry, woke wet, not feeling a thing. So, your body, over a long period of time, can, eventually, get severely used to being back in diapers. Like it knows the diapers are there so it is OK to pee.

Though, that possibly can be the beginning stages of real diaper dependency. No idea. Also, I wet daytime, just not nearly as much, but, I do wet daytime. That was never the case when regression started.

I have also been told, a lot more common with males than females. Overall, boys are known to stay in diapers a lot longer than girls as kids. Have heard others say that later on in life, going back into diapers again could still be much worse for males. But, again, not sure.

Time will tell.

For me, I am fully and completely diaper dependent. Since being put back into diapers, life has gotten so much easier for me. I can wet and poop in my diapers and I never have to rush to the potty anymore. My body has gotten so use to being diapered that I just simply let go in my diaper and I don't have to mentally think about going to the bathroom. On top of that being diaper dependent, I can sleep completely and get a full nights of rest. Being diaper dependent, I can get away with things that normal people could never get away with such as being able to bypass and skip the bathrooms.

My previous relationship, it was her goal to become diaper dependent. But unfortunately she ended up moving away and we weren’t able to make that happen. Hopefully one day soon I’ll meet the right one to experience that with

When I was prescribed diapers 28+ years ago I was warned any control I though or actually had would be slipping away .

Its definately slipped .

When you need to use a diaper or choose to need to slowly but surely your body stops giving you the cues and associations you rely on for continence ,your body dosin't waste resources .so if you stop using the toilet and start using the diaper as your sole remedy for elimination

Eventually your bladder and muscles will atrophy and shrink ,so your bladder holds less and requires more frequent emptying or it over filled and dumps itself involuntarily ,overtime you develope a condition that is indistiguishable from actual incontinence .

If you obey the natural body and brain process of using a toilet that's now hard wired into you,nothing will happen .

When you ignore them and use the diaper when and where needed,your body will eventually stop warning you and just go directly to diaper loading .

I suppose I have been wearing diapers and rubber pants for so long now that I have no interest in using the toliet and much prefer going potty in my diapers. At night I almost never wake up and have to go potty but instead I wake in the mornings and my diapers are quite wet. Usually I feel the urge to wet again shortly after waking and just empty myself in my diapers and then sort of enjoy the warmth of my pee around my pee-pee, crotch and bottom. A bit later I get up and make coffee for my love she will change my diapers, clean my up and pin a fresh diaper on for the day. For the next several hours and wet in my diapers many time, often not even noticing I am leaking into the diapers. But I also like to hold in sometimes until I really have to go and then just have a huge potty. That feels so great and my fiancee often smiles or even laughs when she notices how wet my diaper is. So I do believe I would have a hard time going without my diapers at point, I would probably wet my pants before could get to a bathroom. For sure, my bed would get wet and my girl would be pissed at me for getting our bed.

I feel the same way as well. I have been wearing diapers for so long that I have ZERO interest in using the potty and I pretty much prefer going in my diapers and using my diapers. I'm permanently in diapers because I have zero interest in using the potty and adult bathrooms makes me feel uncomfortable. It's why I am in diapers and if I ever try to put adult underwear on, I would most likely soak them or be constantly running to the bathroom. Which is why I am diaper dependent and permanently in diapers because I am so use to being in diapers that adult underwear would make me feel so uncomfortable. It's why I am so use to being in diapers and so use to not having to use the potty. It's normal for me to be diapered and go in my diapers instead of my Underwear.

I became diaper dependent after starting to wear diapers by choice. However, I don't know if wearing diapers caused me to become diaper dependent or if it was just something that was going to happen anyway.
