Trouble Getting to 24/7?

Anyone else having trouble achieving a 24/7 diaper lifestyle? I want to get there, but I keep finding reasons to hold back. For instance, I travel a lot and am not necessarily ready to start changing diapers when I'm visiting with family or friends. So, every time there's a trip in the near future, I delay getting into a 24/7 habit. I'm a middle aged man and I generally get up once a night to pee. I'm fairly confident that it would take very little time for me to train myself to rely on a nighttime diaper. But, again, I hold back.

Anyone else have similar stumbling blocks? Anyone who has made the transition to 24/7 able to offer any motivational advice?

Sure get yourself some locking plastic pants and lock them on then throw away the key LOL!!! wil be a long time before you ge the nerve to ask for help from someone im sure over 24 hours LOL!!! just kiddin. umm sorry cant help ya there. however when i had to use them 24-7 i did find out most if not all the people around you really dont know your wearing a diaper most of the time!!! poop well thats diffrent, try going only when in private areas or by yourself. but peepee diapers no big deal really most people are to busy with their own life to worry about your underwear !!

Hi, Nicky!

Sounds to me like you have a decision to make, Pard! You can go for the 24/7 and be comfortable knowing someone will find out and the word will get around (because they will!). You know and I know that not everyone will understand or approve of it and you may find yourself a bit more lonely than you anticipated.

On the other hand, you can be happy wearing when and where you feel comfortable with it. You already know what that is like, and you already know you can live with that.

Whichever way you decide, of course, is up to you. But once you decide, commit to that decision and adjust your lifestyle to get the most from it.

I've lived alone for nearly 30 years and used to travel to visit relatives, too. While I didn't hesitate to wear all the time for a number of days, I didn't really want anyone to know. I would therefore get up at night when I needed to pee and not wear when going to visit relatives or friends or while there. But I would have a special stash just waiting for my departure and wear for the trip home. My trips took anywhere from 3-1/2 to 9 hours and I would usually end up getting home totally soaked...if not more!

Best wishes and good luck with your decision, whichever way you decide to go!

I tried it for a few days, and at least for me, I just got bored with it. It was just too much of a hassle for me.

There are a lot of roadblocks for me. I work in foodservice with a bunch of cocky high-school kids, so diapers are completely out of the question there. That immediately disqualifies me for 24/7 wearing.

I've thought about trying it, but it becomes a hassle in the long run. Part of the reason is #2. I'm just not a big fan putting a duece in the diaper. It always seems much cooler before I do it, and then I've got clean up afterwards and think 'Why did I do that?'

I enjoy wearing diapers during the day, but after 2 days of using diapers for pee- I go back to underpants for a couple of days.

Thanks for all the honest opinions! I too do not like going no. 2 in a diaper. So far, whenever that need arises, I remove my diaper. This gives me a chance to re-adjust it when I put it back on anyway, as my diapers always get loose over the course of a few hours.

I have some new and (hopefully!) better fitting plastic pants arriving soon so I may try the 24/7 experiment when they get here to see how long I can go... or how long it remains fun.

I'm not able to go 24/7 either. I average 16 to 20 hours per day. I work from home so I'm diapered most of the day. I'm not worried about wearing my diapers and plastic pants around others. Since last October I have slept in a diaper almost every night. Probably 30% of the time I wake up having wet my diaper during the night.

One problem I've had was having the tapes slip after several hours of wearing. The other day I went to Babies R Us and bought two packs of diaper pins, one pink and the other white. I place the diapers pins so that the head of the pin fastens over the primary and secondary tapes. So far this has kept the tapes from slipping and has not caused any tears or leaks in the diapers. Has anyone else ever tried this or something else?

I could only maintain 24/7 for about 2 weeks, and I was out of my nappies and got in trouble for it, but no toilet allowed, my control started slipping so I backed off

It is more relaxing being 24/7 in diapers as their is no issue of finding a restroom in time. It is also more comfortable than underwear. Of course the smell of baby pwodr and lotion makes it even better

Far be it for me to judge anyone's kink or fetish. But I am going to add my 2 cents of unsolicited opinion. I for the life of me can't understand why anyone wants to mess themselves and wear a diaper. Yes I have an enema fetish, but I go weeks sometimes months without an enema unless I find a playmate. OR if I need one for the purpose of constipation or cleansing before any anal games. There are people that must wear diapers 24/7 and I'm pretty darned sure most of them would give their eye teeth to be able to control their bodily functions and not need diapers.

I apologize if I've offended anyone because that was and is not my intent to do so. I'm just asking why?

Music man, Like all sexual fetishes, diapers either appeal to a person or they don't. I personally find no interest in feet. Yet it is one of the most common fetishes there is. I believe that a fetish is based in our early childhood / infancy. Whatever the sexual trigger was at that time (evidence points to very early infancy sexuality) becomes manifest strongly at puberty. So if you aren't "into diapers" chances are you'll never be able to understand the power they hold over ab/dls. Just understand that whatever it is that trips your trigger, that thrill is the same that a ab/dl feels when it comes to their diaper play. It's a crazy world we live in, so just enjoy the ride and wave at the passerbys when you see em.....lol

No point pushing on with it if you're not comfortable with it. To be worth it, it has to be something you want more than you want to avoid the stumbling blocks that come with it. If you don't, that's no black mark on you.

This is why I went to 24/7. I needed to be wearing diapers all the time, I didn't want to wear them to work. I was scared, nervous that someone would find out. I'm very private about it, my family and friends don't know that I know of. I wore overnight pads at work because nobody could tell. One week I had a very noticeable leak everyday. By being embarrassed so much, I went to 24/7. So I guess it was easy for me in way.

I worried about 24/7 before I started. Now after almost 10 years I don't hesitate at all. I will say it will come down to having to explain yourself to a few people because if you commit to 24/7 there are times when you just have to change into a dry diaper and timing doesn't always work out ideally for that. Whatever reason you come up for explaining it just has to be matter of fact. I've found if I don't make a big deal out of it no one else does either.

I always think that it's something I want to do until I try it, then it gets old after a few days. My entire life of loving diapers has always been a "binge and purge" / "yin and yang" sort of thing.

When young I'd wear them for a few days, indulge myself with it, wet them, smell them, get my rocks off with them twenty times. Then once that was out of my system I'd swear I was never going to do it again, get rid of them, try to put it out of my mind...

That worked until 3-4 weeks later when, there I'd be, going out to the department store and buying more diapers!

By the time I was in my twenties (after spending Lord knows how much money over the years on diapers / pins / ABDL publications / etc) I finally made peace with it and accepted who I am. Then I found and married a girl who accepts that this is part of me. So, no more getting rid of my diapers!

But I still do go in cycles with it. I'll get them out and wear / use them for a day or two, get it out of my system, then put them away until the next time. It's very much like a substance addiction--you get your fix, then you're fine for a while, until you need that next fix. For me with diapers it's usually every week or two. I'll be just fine for a while but when I realize I need diapers, it sort of becomes an obsession and I just HAVE to get myself off enjoying my diapers!

So, no, as much fun as it sounds sometimes, I don't think I'll ever be 24/7. What I DO think I may sometime settle into is wearing diapers to bed every night, waking up warm and wet and enjoying myself in them, then not wearing them during the days. That way if I come home from work one afternoon and am diaper horny, I'll have my diaper pail full of wonderful smelly diapers to enjoy--but otherwise, be a "normal" adult during the day and a diaper wearing toddler at night. I have tried this before and once wore every night for about two weeks before finally deciding to quit for a while. The more I think about it the more I think that this may be do-able and a "happy median".

I am incontinent and do wear nappies 24/7 though I don't ever mess in them. I was paranoid at first about having to wear them and be seen in them. Then I started searching on the net and found sites like this and realised there were people who enjoyed being in nappies. I soon decided this was the way to go. I could be miserable stuck in a nappy and incontinent or I could start enjoying what I couldn't control. Gradually my inhibitions started to lessen. My continence advisor wasn't keen on me wearing "pads" as she calls them despite they being just like nappies with tapes. I was already wearing them at night as I wet the bed. My incontinence was getting worse during the day and I was wearing them while at home sometimes during the day.

In the end she agreed it was me that had to live with the problem and that the embarrassment of wet pants was something she couldn't live with. I was warned once I started wearing them all the time what remaining bladder control I had would soon be lost. She was right of course as by six months in I had very little feeling of needing to go and if I did I couldn't hold it for more than a few seconds in any case.

At first I was very concious of wearing a nappy and thought people would notice al the time. I soon realised if anyone notices they don't care. As I explored the DL life and started to enjoy my nappies I very quickly started to enjoy wearing them. I was determined once I started to wear them all the time there was no going back and I have met all the challenges as they have arrived head on. My close friends all know I am incontinent and wear protection all the time. They are cool with it. My best mates wife even bought a matteras protector for the spare bed and said I should never worry about having an accident. I always ake my kylie in any case.

There are times when finding somewhere to change can be awkward and I have had my fair share of leaks . I always carry spare nappies and cream, wipes etc and have spare clothe sin the car just in case. I can't honestly say I have any regrets. I realise unlike those of you who still have all your bladder control my story is different and eventually I would have ended up in nappies in any case but I like to think I helped things along a bit.I am truly a happier calmer more relaxed person. I wouldn't go back even if it were possible. My advice to anyone is if you really want the 24/7 lifestyle then consider all the pro's and cons and then if it seems right go for it. You only get one life live it as you please. Wearing a nappy hurts no one so why not be "Happy in Your Nappy" I am.
