I see nothing wrong with wearing diapers. Whether it’s for medical reasons, fetish, or other reasons, teens and adults should be allowed to wear diapers. Rather than being forced to hold on until one gets to use the toilet, why not just wear diapers and use them.

you are beyond beautiful—love your insightful and knowledgeable stories—Kudos to you for having the courage to do what you do Cindy.

Did you happen to see the T.V. episode of “Grey’s Anatomy” wherein the two female doctors wore diapers because they were going into an 11-hour surgery and couldn’t count on taking bathroom breaks?  They publicily admitted wearing diapers, and the camers even showed their padded bottoms.  How cool is that?  And how brave being able to admit it to someone else at work.  There shouldn’t be any shame with wearing diapers to work.  I do it all the time for cenvenience purposes, even though I am not incontinent.  Good luck to everyone who wears diapers to work.  Enjoy the experience!

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

Hi cindy.
Thankyou for your uplifting article &  your courage &  willingness to share your experiences about incontinence.
Like your self i am incontinent and wear diapers all the time, but as you have said it takes a great deal of confidence to start with . Wearing diapers has always been an arkward subject   to discuss even with people that are close to you. Why should something such as this hold you back from doing everyday activities. I manage my incontinence in a way that fits in with my lifestyle,  no one would frown upon you for taking an aspirin for a headache.  This logic should be applied in relation to wearing a diaper.  I think the key to this is acceptance, in yourself and by others. Most people will understand if they have the mindset of mature adult. If a few simple precautions are taken any embarrassment can be avoided.  If   going to a wedding or any other special occasion and wearing a skirt always make sure you are wearing briefs that completely cover the diaper and tights which helps to keep everything in place ( girls only) . and always carry a couple of clean diapers incase you need to change.Most public loos will have the facility to dispose of the used diaper.  I have never had any negative reactions from anyone that knows that i wear diapers, so go on embrace them and be confident . It’s your underwear , wear it with pride .

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.
