I haven’t had any problems with the tapes yet as some people have stated but I could see where problems may arise with the tapes as they are not as secure as the Bambino Classico or Bianco or Teddy diapers…they are I guess what they call a “hook” type fastener which so far has stayed on fine for me. Think of it more as a really tight velcro. I think one of the key is making sure the tape is on the front of the diaper flat and not putting the tape on extremely tight. At least that is what has worked for me and I have gone through about 10+ of them without any tapes coming off or any issues. I am sure one of them will as I am a fairly active person and could see where one might just come off but so far they feel really secure to me and are my go to diaper at the moment since Bambino Diapers is restocking their mediums of Classico/Teddy/Bianco diapers.

• Do not put your diaper on too tight so that it is right up against your crotch area or butt area.  You do not want the diaper super tight otherwise it makes it harder to pee sitting down because of pure pressure reasons.  Try fastening the diaper on a bit looser so that it allows more room in the crotch and bottom area.
• You can try lifting off the seat of wherever you are sitting slightly to allow yourself an easier time to pee.
• Slouch down in your seat so your bottom is NOT perpendicular with the seat but rather at a more parallel angle with what you are sitting on.

Other than those tips, it really is something I think that takes “practice” and getting used to.  I have heard over time as you get more comfortable using these tips, that you will be able to sit completely straight up and just wet your diaper sitting down without any tricks or help.  There really is no magic to it honestly.  It is all a comfort level and getting used to type of thing in my opinion and from other people’s perspectives.

If you have “mastered” wetting a diaper sitting down I am sure many others would love to hear how you in particular did it and some tips…feel free to leave them in the comments!  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend – been a bit on the sick side lately so recovering!

In the beginning, my parents like most parents, tried to potty train me starting with using pull ups and gradually weaning me to try to use one of those portable potty things.  Needless to say it was always a hit or miss type thing because sometimes you would get lucky and it would be the right timing and sometimes it wouldn’t.  I would sit on the potty for a long time but I never had to go sometimes, so I would put the pull up or diaper sometimes back on and sure enough 15 minutes later I had either wet or messed.  While my parents knew from birth that my bladder and certain areas were not developing properly according to multiple doctors and they said I may end up being incontinent, my parents of course thought they could “beat it” somehow.  They tried using alarms that would buzz which entailed these pad like things that were stuffed inside your diaper that when moisture hit it, it would buzz (super annoying).  Nothing worked.  They probably tried for a good 2 years off and on different methods but once they felt like they were making progress I would continually lose control and I still required diapers and pull ups no matter where I went.

My parents finally took me to a urologist that specialized in working with children.  He ran all the obvious tests, scans, etc and basically confirmed what my parents knew.  Due to physical abnormalities/defects in development which have caused certain nerves to not be able to sense the need to urinate or defecate as well as an underdeveloped bladder and a few other things, he concluded, all this in combination is what is likely causing my urinary and bowel incontinence.  He said that there were certain surgeries that could be performed but they were not guaranteed and the success rate for physical abnormalities is quite low and the risk to damaging reproductive organs and such was moderate.  My parents decided to not take the risk and this is where it truly all began.

That day my parents took me home after of course taking me to McDonald’s because they felt bad after all the tests and stuff they had put me through.  I got my Happy Meal (sorry, I remember this day vividly).  Anyways, when we got home they explained it to me that basically your going to have to wear a diaper or pull up for a while longer…they didn’t tell me forever at this time because I think they might of thought it would scare me.  At the time I did not really care…I was 5 years old almost 6.  Pull ups were what I was mainly using at the time.  Time went on and I eventually switched to Goodnights but it became clear as I got older (eh, around age 11 or so) that absorbency was becoming an issue.

My parents eventually told me the truth around this time that I was probably going to be wearing diapers or some sort of protection for the rest of my life.  That is also when they concluded that I needed better absorbency because I had experienced a greater frequency of leaking.  I don’t know what sort of youth adult diapers they bought me at the time but I just remember they were a lot more comfortable then what they make now a days.  My parents typically changed my diapers probably 90% of the time until I was around 15ish when it became more infrequent and I would say changed me probably about half of the time.  Usually when I only wet my diaper it was mainly up to me to change it but when I messed they would usually help me out.

My parents have always told me that this was the way God made you and you should not be ashamed of it.  That is probably the reason they have always been so understanding and supportive through it instead of fighting it tooth and nail my whole life.  They accepted it and made the best of it, as have I.  So, hopefully that explained a general overview of the transition process with my parents and how they handled my incontinence.

Incontinence from birth is easier to deal with because its all you know and you do not anything different than dealing with incontinence.  You were/are most likely using some sort of protection for a long time so its not a big deal.  But, if you did not grow up with incontinence then coming to terms with the reality of it can be difficult.  As much as many people in the ABDL community would like to be incontinent so they can use diapers 24/7, they make not end up liking the reality of it.  Many people can pretend to be incontinent and wear diapers 24/7, but in those “certain” situations they may not want to wear a diaper or they may not want to mess or wet in a certain situation they are in.  Situations that make people nervous such as office environment, parties, get-togethers with friends, dates, etc.  These situations a lot of times are avoided by people who “pretend” to wear diapers 24/7 because they can cause issues in multiple ways.  But, with incontinence, there is no way out of it – you are wearing a diaper or some sort of protection and that is that.  So, if you are scared to mess in a diaper possibly at work, then incontinence is probably going to be difficult for you to come to terms with.

I am naturally a person who does not care what others think to some degree but that does not mean I am not respectful or smart about it.  Dealing with incontinence and wearing diapers in the workplace can be handled appropriately and not in some flamboyantly obvious way.

Incontinence does not wait until you are away from your friends or co-workers to cause to you mess or wet.  Incontinence does not give you the luxury of controlling how fast or how much you urinate or mess.  It just comes and whatever it is, it is.  You deal with the ramifications of it being too much too quick as it happens.  This is precisely the reason why I choose more quality adult diapers because in the end, you cannot predict whether you are going to go a lot or a little.

It may seem like a neat idea to be totally helpless and to wet or mess diapers uncontrollably to some but let me tell you, a lot of situations arise where it is not so “neat”.  I will give you a perfect example that happened to me a few years ago.  I went out to lunch with some new girlfriends I had met in class in college.  We first went shopping and then hit up some deli style restaurant.  None of these girls knew about my incontinence or diapers as I had not really come to that point of telling them.  So, I had on at the time an Attends with Waistband diaper (this was before Bambino Diapers came along) and no booster.  Well, I had for breakfeast some bran flakes with strawberries in it which ended up being the perfect storm for me.  Needless to say, I ended up completely messing in my diaper at lunch and I hadn’t turned blushed or been emberrassed in a long time but I was super emberrassed.  Obviously, they smelled it and by my reaction and what not could tell that something had happened.  To make a long long long long story short, I had to spill the beans right there at the table about my incontinence, diapers, etc all while sitting in a messed diaper…you want to talk about humiliating.  Not exactly the situation I envisioned telling them.  One of them was actually totally weirded out obviously (eventually came to terms and didn’t care) but the other two girls really were quite sympathetic and felt bad they had even shown a reaction to the smell of the diaper.  None of them disbanded me as a friend or anything, which I was so worried might happen.  But, fortunately, I handled it the best I could and thought on my feet.

I have countless stories similar to this that just happen and you can’t help it.  You learn to think on your feet quickly and react quickly that is for sure.  But, the reality of incontinence is that you have to have patience with yourself as become accustomed to a change in lifestyle.  Its not all peaches and cream with incontinence so be sure to keep that in mind next time you think about wanting to become incontinent.  Obviously, some of you I am sure fantasize about that exact situation I was just in, but let me tell you, being THAT person is not a fantasy you want to live…it was quite humiliating at first.

I thought I would make my first post on something one of my readers have asked me.  How do you change a diaper in an airplane and contain the smell?

Wearing a diaper and changing a diaper in an airplane is handled I would say in the same manner you would any tight space or close-quartered area.  If you wet your diaper on an airplane and it isn’t at risk of leaking then see if you are able to wait until the plane lands – it would just be easier in general to change your diaper in an airport bathroom for obvious reasons.  If you are on a long flight though and have no choice and need to change your wet diaper then just take a diaper out of where ever you have it stored – don’t look suspicious though – just act like it is not a big deal.  Especially on a plane you don’t want to be pulling anything out of a bag and look suspicious if you catch my drift.  So, some tips for changing your diaper in an airplane bathroom would be to bring a pull-up to last you the rest of the way if you think it will be able to hold.  A pull-up is a lot easier to put on then a diaper is and less time consuming.  But, if all you have is diapers then just put the diaper on while sitting down if there is a space in that particular airplane bathroom…it is way easier than trying to stand up and changing.  But, if you have to change your diaper standing up just use the wall to brace yourself against to provide some leverage so you don’t go swaying everywhere.

When it comes to messy and poopy diapers – I would suggest some pre-planning for this, which is what I have always done.  If you are a person that does poop their diapers then changing in an airplane will prove extremely difficult.  I would HIGHLY suggest first putting a lot of powder inside your diaper before you get on the plane and make sure the diaper is tight around the edges so the smell has less space to come out.  Then, make sure to put on a good pair of plastic pants or even two of them which will immensely help contain the smell and keep it inside your pants.  Also, wear a good perfume/cologne which will help mask anything that does get out.  This is what I have always done and never run into many issues.  If you absolutely have to change a poopy diaper in an airplane bathroom then make sure you brought your own baby wipes and a lot of them.  Brace your legs against the sides of the bathroom walls so that you are stabilized and can reach the areas you need to wipe in order to clean your bottom.  Then, as usual brace yourself against a wall to secure a diaper on.  I would also highly suggest wearing a premium diaper along the lines of a Bambino Diaper…that sort of premium.  It will allow more wettings and provides more of a cushion and barrier between your bottom and the outside which also helps to contain the smell.

Some of these are obvious tips but some aren’t, so hopefully these tips help you next time you decide to wear a diaper on an airplane and need to change.  If you have any other tips please do share them as I am just basing this off my personal experiences and what I have done.
