Does using diapers too long make you incontinent...?

So about 2 mos ago I went from a casual diaper wearer.. to wearing all the time... theres really no real reason why i just wanted to see how long a could go...and I had just moved into my own place...but I digress... yesterday I had a doctors appt and didnt feel comfortable being seen in a diaper...so I dug out some panties, blew the dust off them and went on my way...well on the way home I realized I really had to pee...I didnt make it home... when I got home I had peed a little..not a tone but def enough...Could this just be that in used to diapers or am I incontinent of something?

Ur sub conscious is used to being bale to let go and there be something to catch it a day or 2 out of diapers and ud be fine the muscle memory is still there u just havent used it latley make it a point to spend a day or two out of diapers and ud prolly never have that happen again.

You can't become physically incontinent. Getting used to the routine of wearing diapers will just make it psychologically easier to let go. You can still physically maintain bladder control but when in diapers you will let your guard down psychologically, so it creates the illusion you're having an accident when in reality you're just letting go.

It's the awareness - just like how it takes a while to know how to learn something new. If you accept things as they are, they drop from your awareness and with something like continence, if you always release before you get the "signal" you may "forget" the signal.

Of course if you concentrate you should be able to focus and notice, but it can be like "potty training" all over again.

Of course everyone is different,and some may never "grow" incontinent, and others may be so comfortable that it will be hard to "find the signal" again.

But if there is no medical reason, you should be able to retrain yourself.

I think you're probably just used to using diapers and it has become a habbit...

I doubt that just using diapers for a long period of time will destroy your continence if you are continent.

Based on my own experience, I suspect, however, that if you already have continence problems, wearing and using diapers full-time may exacerbate them to the point of complete incontinence.

Mind is very powerful. When we are potty trained our minds are taught to use the toilet. So when u used your diaper you are retraining your mind on how to use the bathroom. Now if you are holding it in until your body just can't hold it any more then you are tearing muscles in time you will let go with out knowing. But if you go when you have to then no. It a choice between the bathroom are a diaper.

I have been wearing for only about 6 months. It started because I wet the bed one night. That was the first time in I don't know how long. I've been wanting to wear diapers; but, knew my wife would think I was nuts. I used this as an excuse and she agreed wholeheartedly. A week or 2 later I mentioned I had experienced stress incontinence (I hadn't) and thought I should maybe wear them whenever I thought I might being doing something strenuous. Again she agreed. Well, I'm wearing 24/7 now. When I need to pee, I pee only a small amount into the diaper and then go to the bathroom. The only time I let loose in a diaper is if my wife is gone so after filling it with pee and enjoying it for a short time, I still have time to dispose of it in the garbage can before she returns. There are times I want to pee in the diaper but cannot while other times it's not a problem at all. My guess is those times I can't are times my mind is worried if I pee too much I may leak onto the bedding, my recliner, or my slacks. The point of all this is I believe it's a matter of training for those of us that wear primarily for fun.

Question: If you enjoy wearing diapers, what better place to wear them than to the doctor's office? I understand your hesitancy as I've not worn them to my last 2 doctor appointments and my 1st session of physical therapy yesterday. However, I will be wearing to all my upcoming physical therapy sessions as well as future doctor appointments. I am on an insulin pump and lost my prostate to cancer 11 years ago. Those are 2 major causes of incontinence. While I'm not incontinent, none of these professionals would question me wearing diapers. Quite honestly, I doubt any of them will even know.

I wear my diapers to all my medical appointments all the time. My doctors and nurse's are very supportive of me and even understand my medical issues and medical need for diapers. They even allow me to wear my diapers out in the open as well. They even do diaper checks to make sure I am not developing a diaper rash and even the nurses sometimes change my diapers.

I think my slow loss of control has not changed at all other than becoming more urgent and when I made the decision to go 24/7 controll still gradually declined at the same rate.

The only thing that changed for me was I get very less stressed out by the worry of public or even home embarrassement ?

That's the one thing I have noticed when I am diapered 24/7. I am less stressed out and worry less when I am diapered and wearing diapers.

I really don't so been incontinent for soo long never see any difference.

I started wearing diapers most of the time about 20 years ago after my divorce and then retirement. A year or more after I started wearing to bed every night I found I had wet my bed without waking during the night or being aware that I was back to wetting my be. I was a bedwetter as a child until 17 and hoped that I could return to that status. Now, for the past 16 years or so I wet my bed nightly without my awareness. Now could I stop if I stopped wearing diapers to bed? I don't know anymore but have no interest in finding out. I always wanted to be like I was when I was a teen and wet my bed and wear my cloth diapers and rubber pants. Now my fiancee takes care of diapering me just like my mom did long ago and I couldn't be happier.

My incontinence got as bad as it is (pretty much total) over the course of a couple of years after I went into diapers. However, I don't know if it happened because I went into diapers.
