Wearing diapers 24/7 causing incontinence?

@diaperpailpat What you described are the classic symptoms of an overactive bladder. The diapers likely aren't the only cause I have an overactive bladder and most days I'm peeing once every hour or so. It might be something you want to get checked out but not the worse thing in the world

Thanks, Black. I think I'm OK. When I'm at work I can sit there for four hours and hold it, no problem, because I'm sitting still and focused on work (also because my desk is really far from the bathroom). I just don't like the feeling of a full bladder--when I'm moving around a lot or when I'm trying to sleep. When trying to sleep, it keeps me awake because I lay there thinking "If I don't pee now I'll wake up in an hour and have to go" and that's what keeps me awake...it's the same kind of feeling as "Did I lock all the doors? I can't go to sleep until I know everything is OK." So if I'm not diapered in bed I keep a milk jug by the bed and just go in that (having to get up and go to the bathroom wakes me up enough that I REALLY have trouble going back to sleep).

But I really do think that the bottom line is that I've become so comfortable with wetting my pants and my diapers over the years (not to mention how it feels so good and makes me diaper-horny) that that's just what I impulsively want to do. Maybe I should try doing 24/7? Maybe I will once my kids finally all move out of here.

No prob at least for me I have no problems with holding it when I do need to go with my OAB I think if anything needing to hold it more frequently because I need to go more often has strengthened my ability to hold it I know it isn't the same for all people with OAB for me it mainly manifests itself in making me feel the urge to pee often.

I lost bladder control while wearing diapers full-time.

That said,

(a) I was sort of trying to, and

(b) my toilet training has never been perfect.

I'm partially incontinent anyway because I have a neurogenic bladder. I've wet my bed my entire life and until age 25, struggled with minor daytime leaking. Once I was diagnosed with the bladder condition I realized while I had always worn thick cloth diapers with plastic pants at night I now felt free to stay diapered 24/7. Because of wearing at night I had become a dl anyway so this transition was a relief and a welcome pleasure. I have the benefit of never getting any kind of diaper rash regardless of how long I'm wet.

Anyway the limited control I had forced upon myself during the day took about 6 months to completely leave. All I can say now is I do feel the warm wetness filling my diaper. When this first started happening I instinctively would cut it off but as time went by when I felt the warm wetness I just let it flow on its own. I am now fully diaper dependent and so happy about it.

One caution however is its very easy to overlook when your diaper is to the saturation point. I enjoy my wet diapers and like them best when there really wet but that too often leads to wet pants issues if your not careful. Always use high quality thick disposables like North shore supremes, Abena, or dry 24/7's. I can usually get 8+ hours out of these brands, always use plastic back diapers as the breath like diapers can leak through when soaked and the pee smell comes through them too easily.

Like many people in today's society, I never thought that some day I would be back in diapers/nappies as a fully grown adult, however I do suffer from intimittent problems with urinal incontinence and have had to return to wearing these products or forms of protection which are somewhat akin to myself as a toddler all those years ago.

Before anyone judges me unfairly without knowing me, I am not a ABDL or someone who is crazy about porn or who is off their head as in crazy or even overly lazy although wearing them does provide me with a certain degree of comfort and confidence or peace of mind and has had the effect of reconnecting me to my inner child at least from a psychological point of view.

Wearing diapers or nappies has also been a litrally lifesaver as it has saved me from countless embarrasing situations in public and also helped me regain my independence and peace of mind as well as health as it has improved my quality of life, see my blogs for details.

Let me explain about about myself I am someone who by now is rapidly approaching 40 years of age or youth, and is a male at least in this lifetime at least having been born in 1980,

I have Autism and this ranges from mild to severe in terms of severity and is something I both blessed and also cursed by in my personal life from my personal point of view.

However I do also have some physical disabilities this is thankfully mild too and isn't something that really can hurt or degrade my quality of life and is due to the fact I have outwardly pointing feet due to twisted leg bones something I was unfortunately born with and is by now irriversable at least medically speaking.

I also have my suspicions as to what may or may not be causing my problems with incontinence and this has something to do with possible neurological dammage suffered from having epilepsy in my teenage years when I was 12-13 back in the early 1990's in 1992/1993.

Also being slightly obese dosen't help anything, although I am trying to alliviate this by getting excersise and changing my diet something that will take some time but should be worth it in my future.

But enough about me I joined this website in 2010, for the purpose of getting support and guidance and this is somethingI am still trying to achieve I am also looking for a bit of respect as I suffer from ptsd and depression and this is from years of being the victim of bullying and abuse and other factors.

And I find by choosing to wear diapers/nappies I have in effect regained my personal sence of independence and not least because I don't have to dash to the toilets or rest rooms as much as I do when not wearing them and this is a great thing to know.

Although this is to say as my condition is intimittent and un predictable at best although I can only do what I need to to survive in my life and my body is my own to own and no bodies property as I am thankfully not a slave.

I have been to the doctors to find out what was wrong with me but they couldn't find a cause suggesting instead it was all in my head something I veriantly denied but I do find wearing them has helped my Heath in general not just from a psycological point of view as my quality of life has vastly improved since making the decision to return to this form of protection, see my blog for further details.

Also on a personal level having to wear diapers or nappies is something I am no longer embarrased or ashamed of as it's just another form of underwear or be it about childish I don't mind having a reminder of my past even if it means my manhood suffrers from this at least it's on my own choice and I am not forced into it by somebody else and if As I suspect I will be diapred for the rest of my life so be it.

Yours sincerly

I think just wearing diapers lets your brain no you belong and makes it easier to use them as I am always in diaper and plastic babypants

I can go for 2 or 3 3 hours not needing a pee BUT if I put on a Diaper I find my self having a pee every half a hour. Mind over mater ( Or water)

I have been wearing diapers for pleasure for several months, mainly just at home, but I do also wear them occasionally when out shopping etc. I have had several experiences recently when not diapered - luckily always at home - when I’ve lost control and started to wet myself before I get to the bathroom. Also on a couple of occasions I have driven home from work aware that I needed to pee, but not desperately so, and the moment I unlocked the front door, wet myself uncontrollably. I’m not sure whether these incidents are related to diaper wearing, or whether it could just be my age!

I also have doubts about what could or might not cause my incontinence problems.I believe that wearing long-term diapers can cause incontinence totally,at first I felt a few drops of pee flow in my pants. It's rather embarrassing when you're not in a diaper,I take medication for my diabetes, my doctor told me that can cause bed-wetting accidents,I realized since my wife forced me to wear thick cloth diapers with plastic pants at night and that I now felt free to stay in layers 24/7.Over time my ability to hold back is gone, I'm pissing before I know in my diaper,over time my ability to hold back is gone.I'm pissing before I know in my diaper, at the beginning when it started.I could cut it instinctively,but over time, when I felt the warm humidity,I let my pee flow.I am now totally dependent on my diapers.I have no more patience to train my bladder and I ended up mentally accepting having to wear a diaper.Although wearing diapers is not only humiliating, but also insulting and hurtful for the older ones,even though my wife likes to keep on me diapers like a baby,like me have to wear diapers because of my state of health or my disabilities, if you learn to enjoy them, it can change your life.????

Eventually a leaky bladder will win the battle of diapers or no diapers . However if your a normally continent individual and you wear diapers as recreation ,your body has no idea if your using a urinal,toilet or plastic bag ! If you maintain normal elimination patterns of going potty when nature calls ,nothing changes , however if you start using a diaper like a diaper for urinating any time you can ,eventually this will erode your urinary control ,in 2 ways.

1. You bladders urine holding capacity will become less as it gets used to not storing as much volume.

2. The muscles you use to urinate or to not urinate will become weaker , this is called atrophy ,typically atrophy of those muscles is very hard to come back from because those muscles can not really be isolated and worked òut like a person works out at a gym , there are some still being researched electrical stimulation methods that may help but again they are only research .

There are urogenital physical therapist that specialize in regaining continence should you experience it from radical prostatectomy (typically your surgeon hooks you up with one before the procedure , so in the event of you leaking you aren't shy and self conscious about seeing a stranger about an "embarrassing problem" ) they might be able to help repotty train you after surgery ,there are various methods of timed voiding and such that your mom and dad used on you as a kid , that will become fresh lessons .

You will lose còntinence if you abuse the bladder & bowels by constant small eliminations , which is also the most common incontinence pattern is small frequent or continuous leaks , that is why actual Incontinent people get longer diaper life because they don't flood the diaper all at once with a full bladder .

@BIIGBBWET Incontinent by nature DL by choice,making lemonade out of lemons !

I do get the urge to urinate more often when wearing and seemingly with less ability to "hold" it. Figure some of it is psychological and maybe a touch physical because the diaper bulk maybe doesn't allow the 'clenching' of the muscles that we normally use to control ourselves. I certainly am not a medical or scientific person, just my thoughts on the subject. And, no, I don't think just wearing diapers causes us to lose control. At least not physically.

I’ve always loved wearing diapers and wetting and for many years wore diapers 24/7 when at home. A few years ago I began to have urge incontinence and found I was frequently wetting myself with little or no warning and this has has now progressed to the extent that I have very little control and now need diapers full time. I used to wake up during the night when I needed to pee but I now wet in my sleep without being aware of it.

As a child I wet the bed frequently and also had day time accidents which only stopped when I was 10 - and my parents also had similar experiences and were both totally incontinent in later life, so it could be genetic rather than conditioning.
