Diapers for punishment

I've only had one experience with true diaper punishment. around age 8 I would spend the night at my friend Chloe's house. Her older brother wet the bed and her mom would diaper him every night. At the time we felt kinda sorry for him, but it wasn't something we teased him about, or that he enjoyed.

I was 1 of 3 diapered bed wetters out of 6 kids. When my mom became frustrated with all the wetting she would make the offender of the day stay in their diapers. The bathroom would be off-limits, siblings would tease, and inevitably there would be poo accidents. It was one such incident that became what I refer to as my enlightening. To this day I try and relive these memories. I enjoy being the thumb sucking diapered bed wetter who just can't hold it any longer. I should say that my mom was a loving and caring woman. Most of the punishment was prompted by understandable frustration. I don't believe I was affected in a bad way. On the contrary, it awakened a profound enjoyment of using diapers that just grows stronger every day.

I was not punished for wetting my bed. But I wore diapers at night until I was 9. My mothers policy was that the diapers and plastic pants were for protection. They were to keep my bed and Pajamas dry. When I wet my bed after I was 9 my mother would have me wear diapers and plastic pants to bed for the next few nights. This went on until I was around 12 years old. 😃

I was never punished by my mother for wetting my bed, but I was punished several times when I messed my pants during the day. My mother would put me in my night time diapers during the day and not let me wear anything other then a shirt so everyone else in my family new I was being punished.

Gygi, what exactly did you do? And how regularly did your aunt use diapers on your cousin?

Only for bedwetting and that was part necessity.

Yes every form of humiliation was used against me by mother in a belief it would stop me wetting my bed often left to sit in my wet nappy in mornings told that nappy rash might make me think twice about wetting myself obviously it was the wrong thing to do to cure me but now at 43 love the fact i wet bed funny old world isn,t it?

I was put in a nappy and plastic pants during the day for wetting myself when I was 5. I describe the story in more detail in the new members introductions under the topic "I hope you like my story"

It was very humiliating,having something I only wore for bed only babies wore during the day. I was threatened to be sent to school in them and have all my ordinary underwear thrown out if I did it again. :'(The trouble was that I had this trickling dripping problem where just a small amounts of urine seep out unnoticed. I had this through to early junior school.

Of late this seems to be returning also.

I can say that diaper Punishment was enforced at my house when i was a child. As I'm sure as some have read my previous post, I wet the bed till I was 13. I hated waking up wet! God knows I did, the yellow circle of shame and my bedroom that I shared with my 2 older brothers reeked of urine(as my mom would call it tee tee) and my stained mattress and sheets showed it each day.

Each night I would be diapered and put in plastic pants sometimes by mom sometimes from dad, he was a Marine and hated that one of his children still wet the bed .He saw that as a weakness (and went over the top when he found out I was wearing my sisters panties and leotard and tights...That's a whole different story.)

I was diapered anytime we went out, whether it was church or a family gathering where access to a bathroom was not handy. My brothers and sister use to call me Lil miss pee pot and Lil queer, even though I had no idea what a Lil queer meant, no those were not the good ole days by no means.

That's not a fun time for sure Babyrene. One thing I'm curious about. You said, your dad use to change you sometimes, and he was upset you were a bed wetter. That's a pretty common story for bed wetters, unfortunately. Most times bed wetting comes from someone else in the family, like me for instance, I wet the bed a bit when I was young, and I later found out so did my dad. Do you know if this was true for yourself? It could have been your mother, or your mother's side of the family. But, it could have also been from your dad's side. I've heard it before, how kids are made to feel bad by parents who themselves were bed wetters. I was just wondering if you knew, if your dad might have been a bed wetter himself?

Luvs it

you are correct i found out by my uncle after my dad died in 2000 that he also wet the bed,he could never understand why he made such a big deal about it,my mother suffered from polio and wet also.

I thought that might be the case Babyrene. I didn't know for sure my dad was a bed wetter, till we were all out for dinner one night when I was much older. My grandmother was with us, my dad's mom, and my dad as usual had to much to drink. I don't remember how the subject came up but, my dad made the comment to my grandmother about how he use to wet the bed, and how he needed to have a brown rubber sheet on his bed. He said, to her, remember how hard it was to find a rubber sheet back then? I would guess from his age, that was referring to about the late 1930's early 40's. When I was wetting the bed as a young kid, I can remember something coming up about him wetting the bed as a child also, but he never said that to me directly. It was only probably only in a round about way from my mother. I wonder if my grandfather had any problem bed wetting? There was never any talk of that!

I agree with this I confronted my Mother about making me wear diapers and all it did was open up old wounds

My sister wet the bed until she was 11, and she was never punished for it. she and my mother would have open and frequent discussions about how to manage the problem. the decision for my sister to wear pullups (later goodnites) was reached mutually, even if she was reluctant to go through with it. so i naturally find it hard to imagine how punishment is effective in managing bedwetting. the kid feels bad enough about having to deal with it!

its also good for a kid to find someone they can relate to. my mom was 14 when she stopped peeing in bed, her sister was 9 and my cousin didnt stop until she was about 10. my half-brother was 9 when he stopped, and his son is 8 and just recently stopped. im the odd one in the family, because i stopped peeing in bed when i was like 3!

To punish a kid or anyone just because they wet the bed is wrong. I dont think that is right just tell the kid it is really the best and just let them enjoy life

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I was wondering if any DLs trace their interest in diapers to bedwetting and the subsequent punishments, whether it involved diapers or not?

My story... I used to wet the bed... a lot. And my impression was that I did it until I was much older than when my peers overcame this problem. The way my punishments went was this:

First wet night - no punishment (except an irate and belittling mother.)

Second wet night - after the second night I was made to sleep in the bathtub until I 'recovered' and had a series of nights in a row where I woke up dry.

Only once do I remember being diapered as punishment. I don't remember exactly how old I was, but I had to be around 7 or 8. After a couple nights in a row of wetting the bed, mom called me into the kitchen. My brother and our neighbor friend (about 3 years older than me) were both in the kitchen too. On the floor was a cloth diaper. Mom made me lay on the floor and put the diaper on me in front of my brother and his friend. I don't remember them laughing or anything... I think they were just too stunned to know what to do. I can still remember exactly where I laid on the floor... I could point out the spot probably within six inches even today... almost 40 years later.

I don't remember how long I had to stay in the diaper, but I know it wasn't more than a day. Now for the personal psychological assessment... I think that this episode of punishment coupled with humiliation is what started my interest in diapers. I started wearing diapers for fun.... no, not fun.... comfort, by the time I was 12 or 13. I still wear diapers to this day... Anyone else have a similar experience?

Wetdiapers, yes I trace my diaper wearing to the punishment that I received for wetting and messing my pants at age 9. I was punsihed for almost 6 years off and on, the first 4 or so for my wetting and pooping and the last 2 for my "behaivior". My mom realized that diaper punishment worked and made me very docile.

I spent 3 summer in diapers full time and many weekends and weeknights in them. I always found it funny that when I would ask my mom when she would quit making me wear diapers and the answer was "when you can act your age". But all the time I am in diapers, eating in a high chair, sleeping and playing in a playpen, and being told that I need to act my age.

I attribute me wearing and diaper play a direct result of my forced wearing by my mom. Probably why I incorporate a lot of my play these days based on what happened during those summers and subsequent punishments. Those things do not stray far from my mind.

Hopefully most parents would be willing to use this as a form of a solution, not as a punishment, Would be pretty rough on children to have something taken away from them because mom or dad is mad. I'm sure it happens in more than one ocassion, but it certainly should be more about helping the child to get past somehting. Chances are the child may have a psychological stressor that is already making him or her nervous and to add passion and emotion in the form of a punishment would make it worse than it already is and compound the problem.

Some of this really depends on your point of view. Diaper punnishment can probally be found in the most famlies of not nearly all, especially during potty training. some examples are moms talking about diapering their older child while that child can hear causing embarrasment. Just motovation right? Can't wear big kid pants until dry for a cirtian time, Diapered for bed an hour or so before bed. Just motovation. I'm not against it. Anything to help the child as long as it is not abuse. But it is a form of punnishment.

In my family it was a matter of heredity. It all came from my fathers side and strangly affected the boys the most.

My father and my uncle and aunt wet untill they were 12. All of my cousins untill we were ten or twelve and all of us were in cloth diapers. This was the 1950's there no disposibles.

Family gatherings were different than most. At bed time we would all get our PJ's on and go to the living room. We were lines up on the floor and diapered assembly line fashion. And this was done by whom ever was available. Grand parents, parents, aunts, uncles I have been diapered by all of them.

We were all expected to be in diapers but NEVER were any of us punished for bedwetting.

Usually between 11 and 13 we would start to dry up. Once we were dry for two weeks running we could ware training pants. If they stayed dry for two months we allowed regular underware or just PJ's.

Yes there were occasional accidents but unless it was repeated we were not put back in diapers. Not needing diapers was met with congragulations from the adults and a certain amount of awe from the younger ones.

As we graduated to the dry side we were also expected to help (both boys and girls) with not only the diapering but the large amount of laundry six kids in diapers generated when we had a family gathering at my grandparent's farm.

My own girls were examined by doctors and given medication to help. By the time they were five they were out of diapers.

My granddaughter was trained by three. So perhaps it is no longer in the genetic makeup.

In light of this I find punishing kids for bedwetting apprehensible.

To me there is usually a reason.

If diapers were punishment than punish me all the time please

Diaper punishment is more of a fantasy for most people. I've never seen any of my friends or myself put into diapers as a punishment.

I wasn't the best potty trainee but mom didn't diaper for punishment, only because we needed them.

Never had that happen to me. the only thing that happened to me when the teacher got pissed was a crack on the wrist with a ruler and that was more than enough. This must have happened a long time ago because that would never happen today and if it did that teacher would be on the evening news behind bars. Now as an effective punishment probably worked. I think the diapering may have been a step over the line but in some cases of little humiliation can work, although not always. But putting a kid in a diaper that's over the line.

I don,t know about punishment.When I started wetting my wife became very upset and had me go back to diapers or would have to sleep somewhere else.I been in diapers for yrs she dosen,t care.

Old thread but maybe bring some new life to it. Diaper punishment is REAL. It happens. Maybe not so much in today's culture and with the parents today trying to not damage a child's self esteem.

My mom used it on me and while it is debatable about the effectiveness, it did make me more docile and obedient it left me with a diaper fetish that has spanned 51 + years. Not saying that was so bad itself, either.

It was used a lot more in the mid 20th century and I have several friends that were subject to it at the time, also. Resources for parent were not widely available and DHS/CPS did not exist like it does today. The parents attitude was "let the punishment fit the crime" as far as children went.
