Wearing Diapers to Work
Wearing diapers to work is big a topic because more and more Americans are faced with incontinence issues and are resorting to wearing diapers. Having to wear a diaper to work can be facilitated and easier if you follow a few simple rules. Wearing a diaper to work should not be stressful.
Wearing diapers to work has always been something I have had to do because of being diagnosed with incontinence. But wearing diapers to work does have its perks in certain situations. But, with the rising rate of incontinence in the United States, more and more people are turning to diapers to help them. Naturally, many people have to go to work so what are they to do about their little incontinence problem? They have to wear diapers to work. Wearing diapers to work can be simple and easy to conceal if you pay attention. Many people might not realize the comfort and positives into something like wearing diapers to work. In the following article I will give you tips and positives to wearing diapers to work and dealing with incontinence at work or anywhere for that matter.
Being a full time diaper wearer I have had to learn to not only cope but embrace wearing diapers to work. Being a 26 year old woman wearing a diaper such as a Molicare diaper to work has taught me tricks and tips to not only conceal thicker diapers but also to embrace wearing diapers to work. Molicare diapers provide a lot of absorbency which is extremely important in your choice of wearing a diaper to work. I would rather deal with wearing a thicker diaper to work than a leaking diaper at work from a cheap brand of diaper.
Wear Dark Pants to Work
Dark pants allow for not only a skinnier appearance but also help to better conceal that you are wearing a diaper to work. Especially with thicker diapers such as Molicare, Abena, and even a Bambino Diaper (look this diaper up if you haven't heard of it). Thicker diapers tend to bulge a bit more depending on your body shape and how you put the diaper on. So, wearing darker pants will better give off the appearance that a diaper is not there.
Bring an Extra Diaper
Bring at least one extra diaper in case you have an emergency. Wearing a diaper to work can have its perks but the last thing you want is to be sitting in a full diaper whether it is urine or defecation. Diapers at work can even allow you to get more work done as you do not have to leave your desk all the time to go to the bathroom. But, I always keep an extra adult diaper in my purse just in case I need a change but typically when wearing a diaper to work, I choose a thicker diaper and that gets me through the day.
Tuck Your Undershirt In
By tucking your undershirt in that is either over your dress shirt or blouse, it allows for concealing of the diaper in case you were to bend over and the diaper was to expose itself. I always wear a tank top or lightweight t-shirt underneath my dress shirt or blouse and tuck it in. Wearing diapers to work really is manageable and easy to conceal to allow you the maximum comfort while also maintaining a bit of privacy.
Relax and Be Confident
I am a big supporter of being confident in yourself. Whether you choose to wear a diaper to work or you have to wear a diaper to work for necessity reasons, such as incontinence, you should be confident in yourself and who you are. Don't be uptight and think that if somebody finds out you are wearing a diaper to work then your life is ruined. In the rare case somebody does find out or you decide to tell them, most mature adults will understand especially if it is a health reason. But, as long as you are not letting wearing diapers at work to get in the way of business than there is no reason to worry.
Wearing diapers to work has been part of my life ever since I worked at Abercrombie and Fitch in my teens. Having to wear skimpy little outfits while wearing a diaper to work was not always the easiest in concealing but it sure helped to become more comfortable with who I was and embrace even more having to wear diapers. Wearing diapers is not the end of the world and can provide everything from emotional and physical comfort all the way to feeling secure and providing a way to protect yourself from accidents.

Im a professional woman now in my 50’s I have worn diapers for 6 years now. Its just not a problem. Sure there are some drawbacks, but I find that I can go about my daily tasks and not be bothered at all by what is in my diaper. I prefer NOT to try to change at work, so I wear a Molicare with a pad inside. Control top pantyhose keep them quiet. The Molicare with plastic pantys over them keep in all odors. I occasionally have a mess in there, and just keep it in there till I can get home and change. I dont feel the need to rush home just because I have a full or messy diaper. They dont control me.
Hello Cindy. You told a very real thing in your article : It’s better wearing a thick diaper than having leaks with a bad one. I wear diapers every day, and i only night diaper, because it’s the only one which resist to leak about one day of work…
And as you say, if people discover i wear diaper, they are more embarrassing than me. If they are not as intelligent and mature for understand that, so they aren’t interesting to know as well…
It’s just our lives, and we don’t have to be disapointed or sad beacuase we have to wear diapers. We haven’t made that choice and we have to live with, so it’s to the other people to understand it !
Thank’s for your article Cindy.
Hi, Cindy,
Just thought that you might like to know that it is not only in the US that many adults suffer from incontinence, and I believe that it is also on the increase here in the UK too. I also think that it is in fact far more common than is generally known, because even in this enlightened day and age, most people are much too embarrassed to admit it. But I doubt very much that manufacturers would make incontinence products if it were something that few people suffer, or if it were on the decrease.
Like you, I have had problems with incontinence all my life, although from the tone of your message it seems that you are totally incontinent and have no control at all. If that is the case, you have my sympathy, and I admire you greatly for being able to be so open and honest about it. When I was younger (and by that I mean when I was a child/teenager) it bothered me greatly, but I have over the years learned to live with it, and I no longer try to hide it from friends and acquaintances, who I have to say I find, in general at least, mostly sympathetic.
Although I myself am not totally incontinent, I have never become dry at night – I always wet in my sleep – and I have limited control during the day; I am unable hold my urine for more than a short time (compared to most people, anyway). Consequently, accidents are frequent. For that reason, I too have used diapers (or nappies, as we call them this side of the pond) all my life.
No doctor or specialist (and I’ve seen many!) has ever been able to explain why I wet myself so frequently, and certainly none has ever come up with a cure. Personally, I believe I simply have a weak bladder (or at least, the muscles that should enable me to control it are weak), and no amount of Kegel exercises have ever helped. Medications and alarms have also had little or no effect.
As I’m now in my 40’s, I very much doubt whether I will ever be cured, and I long ago accepted my need for nappies. I wear one more or less constantly, especially when I’m away from my home, and always to work.
Although I ensure that I wear clothing that effectively ‘hides’ my nappy, for instance a full skirt, or roomy trousers (pants), many of my colleagues are aware of my need for protective underwear. And of course, as you say, there can be certain advantages; some of our meetings can go on for a long time, and some of my colleagues had near misses when struggling to keep their bladders under control! One of my closer friends (also a work colleague) has actually admitted that she is somewhat jealous of the fact that I rarely need to use the toilet, unless I have to change my nappy!
All of my relatives, of course, know about my problem, and do not have any issues with it; they just treat me normally. And most of my friends and acquaintances also know, (because I don’t try to hide it) and it is in general accepted and ignored.
I’ve now come to look upon my bladder problems in a similar manner to anything else that can go wrong with the human body. If one has poor eyesight, then one wears spectacles or contact lenses; if one has poor hearing, one wears a hearing aid; if one has a broken arm or leg, one wears a splint or plaster.
It just so happens that my bladder doesn’t work properly, so I wear a nappy. It’s no big deal; it no longer bothers me in the least, nor has it done for many years now. I’ve simply given up worrying about it, and learned to live with it.
Debbie.
Great advice, I agree totally. Concealing a thick diaper is a lot easier to do than trying to conceal a leaking diaper! Confidence in ourselves and treating this as a normal part of our lives makes all the difference with acceptance from others.
Hi Cindy - I enjoyed reading this and your other articles. Your experiences with wearing diapers to work are very similar to my own. Please feel free to write to me any time at padcon1973(at)gmail.com
Best,
Pat
Very well written post. I am not completely incontinent, but I couldn’t imagine not wearing diapers anymore. As you pointed out in multiple posts, it has its advantages. My experiences at work while diapered are almost totally positive. I have been working two jobs 5 days a week for more then 3 years now. My day job is around people many years older then I (I’m late 20s) and not one person has said a word to me about being diapered…if they even noticed at all. My day job attire is business casual which is almost always heavy enough clothing to hide a diaper in. My night job is at a school among people my age. A few of them are a bit more nosy and sometimes ask why I take my laptop bag with me to the bathroom. This is where one has to be cautious about what you say. Only the people I really trust know that I wear diapers. Usally a quip about making a phone call to my handlers at the CIA (or other secret organization) keeps the people I don’t trust from asking any more questions…LOL.
Not one of my friends has ever asked me why I wear diapers. I think confidence as a lot to do with it….people naturally want to know secrets and if you are insecure about something and are hiding it, people will keep after you until they find out. If you confident about yourself and aren’t bothered by something as trivial as wearing a diaper…people will accept it and will move their attention to something more important.
Sorry for the long post here…but I just wanted to reinforce your last two paragraphs with my own experiences. I look forward to reading more of your insights.
