I've worn thick cloth diapers at night for bedwetting forever. I hated it growing up with 3 non bedwetting brothers, one older and two younger. Until age 10 or 11 my nightly routine was to have my mom lay out my thick diapers on the bed and I'd lay down like a toddler spread my legs and have a diaper pinned on tightly. I would then have a pair of plastic pants pulled up and tucked in at the legs and around my waist.
The bedroom door was always open and often one or more of my brothers would come in asking my mom this or that. I hated this routine but my mom just treated it as a matter or course. I finally convinced my mom to allow me to diaper myself. The problem always came in when I wouldn't have my diaper on tight enough or not have the plastic pants tucked in well and my bed would get wet. I had a loud crinkly plastic mattress protector however when you wet more than once a night sometimes leaks would happen.
This happened many times when my mom diapered me also but after I was allowed to diaper myself if the bed got wet it was my fault and the correction measure was I had to go back to being diapered by my mom for one week.
Once I entered high school at age 141/2, I was allowed to stop wearing dIapers. The problem was I still wet every night and often more than once. Now I was dealing with waking up in a flood, usually at 1-3 am every night. Cold and soaked in pee. I was always so tired I would try and use any part of my bed that was still dry or just move to the floor beside my bed. This would get me in trouble regularly since I would also wet the floor on man,y occasions. Strange thing was, and I didn't realize it when it was happening but once I was allowed out of my diapers all I wanted was to have them back. I had become a true diaper lover. Finding out at age 12 the pleasure of masturbation didn't help because I would often wake up wet and hard in my diapers and lay there rubbing and Cumming in my wet diaper.
At age 18 I decided I would handle my real bedwetting problem the best way possible by returning to my diapers. I was so happy every night pinning on my thick cloth diapers and really even hated the one or two nights a month I would actually wake up dry. I rarely denied myself my morning pleasure however unless I woke up too late and didn't have time to have some fun. My family knew I was wearing diapers again for my bedwetting but never knew how much I also loved my diapers.
I also struggled with daytime wetting and usually had to find a bathroom 15+ times a day. I always wore thick training pant style underwear to help with this problem. I went to a couple of doctors growing up about this but we were always told I would "outgrow" this. When I was 25 or so I went to a urologist and had a complete study done which determined I had a neurogenic bladder and in my case, as my dr. Put it, my bladder worked like an infants. He even said he was surprised I was able to control my wetting as much as I was during the day.
I left there with sort of mixed emotions. I wish at age 8 I had this sort of study done so I wouldn't have had parents and brothers sort of pointing their fingers at me for not getting over my wetting problem. The other feeling I had was now I felt a huge sigh of relief and knew I was now free to put myself in diapers 24/7! I have been 24/7 for along time now and love it more all the time. Of course over time the daytime struggle I had leaking before I could find a bathroom or even after I found a bathroom was no longer a struggle at all. I'm so glad I don't struggle with the fact I'm 90% incontinent like many incontinent people do. I welcome it because I'm always in my diapers!
