My family knows I wear by need. I have OAB since my childhood and it was getting worse though the years. But I didn't need diapers, because I could hold until finding a toilet and I always wake up at the slightest sign of urge, I've never been a bedwetter.
But how did they know I'm wearing diapers now?
After recovery from Covid in 2020 my overactive bladder got worse, I can't hold anymore after around 2 minutes maximum. My urologist prescribed an amazing medicine, Myrbetric, that allows me to don't stay peeing small amounts without control all day long. It would be perfect if I wasn't into “pants wetting” fetish since 3 years old. When I take Myrbetric, I only pee each 4 to 6 hours, and if I want to wet my pants on purpose to have fun, I can't do it. I can force but my bladder doesn't work. So I made a decision of wearing diapers 24/7 because I prefer to be wetting all day long than didn't being able to wet myself on purpose when I want. I used to deliberately wet my pants everyday and since 2008, when I tried a diaper for the first time, I've being wearing a lot, mostly at work, because I liked the idea if being able to wet anywhere, anytime in front of anyone. I felt naught doing that around people while they didn't have a clue. So, for the last 2 years, I'm wearing 24/7 (except when traveling, when I think it's easy to take Myrbetric). Last year my mom was visiting me, she went to room to search for a dry towel and found my diaper stash. She asked if those diapers were mine, I confirmed it. My parents know my OAB get really worse after Covid and that I was taking a medicine to control it. She did the correlation, because nothing more were asked. And I'm sure she told my dad, because the first time he met me after this event, he was trying to be discreet but was staring to my crotch trying to know if I was or wasn't diapered. I was, of course, and sooner or later I would tell them anyway. But I think my mom finding made it easier for me.
I also told my close friends I wear by need.
The fact that I already enjoyed wearing diapers for fun for years before this incident helped me to accept my condition easily. And I also have the option of taking Myrbetric if for some reason I don't want to be in diapers, like when I'm traveling.
