This has been an obsession of mine since I was an early teenager but it’s gotten extreme these past 3 weeks. I finally caved in and ordered a couple boxes. I have one on now and it’s almost like it completes me. I don’t use it or anything. Not yet at least. But I’m wondering if this is ok. I think my therapist knows. But I’m not sure. We were talking today and I mentioned some personal packages and then she said “if your into that stuff. Cool. Just keep up with your hygiene.” And that last part kind of made me think she did know. Especially since she knows I’m asexual and have no desire to have sex. I’ve been wearing it around the house and I don’t think anyone has noticed and if they have they’ve probably just chalked it up to a weird transition thing.

What is your view on this in general? For anyone?

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. You can do what you like so long as it doesn't harm anyone especially in the privacy of your own home. If it interferes with work or business relationships and you really want to wear a diaper, you could try the ones that are advertised to look like regular underwear for adults. Then you can do as you like and no one will ever know if you dispose lf the packaging discreetly.

May I suggest you take a look at this website:

ADISC.org - AB/DL/IC Support Community

You don't have to join. Just as it is here on PC, you can read through the forums without being a member. I think you may find it enlightening as well as, perhaps, a comfort.

I'm of the personal belief that you do you as long as it doesn't hurt someone else. So as long as you are comfortable and it makes you happy go for it!

My hubby and I have a friend that wears diapers and keeps a pacifier on a string around his neck. For him it's a security/self comfort thing. It embarrasses the heck out of him for anyone to find out and he was so self conscious telling us but I told him our house is a safe space and as long as he's happy we are happy for him.

There will always be people that will judge others for things like this. It is out of their comfort zone so they don't understand it and react negatively. Try not to let those people bother you and make you uncomfortable with what really isn't a big a deal.

Thanks everyone. So far sneaking them into the house hasn’t been an issue. I hope no one looks in my bottom dresser drawer though since I have 7 medical ones, and soon will have 14 ABDL ones. I have a couple Christmas sweaters on top of them so I should be good. Wearing them has proven to be an issue since I don’t actually use them and the medical ones make a lot of noise. Until I get the refastanble ones I’m going to have to wait. I am going to try to talk to my therapist about this on Monday. I’ve been sending her quick notes through email all week hinting at it. It’s going to be kind of weird because she’s young and I find it harder telling someone who’s young for some reason.

Boy I can sure relate to that. One of the reasons I've been so reluctant to find a therapist is that, especially compared to me, they're all SO YOUNG. And I just couldn't bring myself to talk about some of my stuff with someone who could well be my child... or even my grandchild! But then if I were truly honest I'd have to say I doubt I could do it even if I could find a therapist my own age. The humiliation meter would be off the chart!

Good luck with hiding your stash underneath those Christmas sweaters. I myself don't have anything to hide any more. But I did... for years & years & years. So I know all about that. Looking back I wish there could have been another way. But realistically there probably wasn't. I hope that, in your case, you'll be able to find a way to bring your interest in diapers out into the open. I know lots of people probably find wearing diapers as an adult to be weird. But there's a whole ABDL community out there for whom it is simply a natural expression of who they are. And, at least to me, there is a lot of comfort in simply knowing one is not alone.

I bought a package of pull-ups today. Since I just wanted that feeling but wanted to be able to wear something all day. They fit ok in the front. I’m trying to lose weight though and my weight will also distribute as I transition. So far these are the best for what I’m looking for. They are super discreet but still give me the feeling that I want.

I think the cashier was giving me a weird look, but whatever.

I did tell my therapist in a couple different emails and she was super understanding.

There is tons of information on various kinds of adult diapers, as well as pull-ups, on ADISC. (Perhaps you already know that?) I'm glad you were able to share your interest with your therapist & that you received an understanding response.

I thought my therapist wasn’t going to bring it up since I had told her a couple weeks ago, but today there was a pause in our conversation and she said “do you want to talk about diapers?” It totally caught me off guard and I freaked out a bit since I didn’t know if anyone in my family was in earshot. At first I said no I didn’t want to talk about it. Then I said wait, hold on and I went into a closet and shut the door. She said it was ok but she doesn’t want me to become too dependent on them. In case I run out or something and can’t get any at that moment. And she said it’s ok to wear them at work too as long as I’m ok if they are not totally discreet. But the way she just randomly said “do you want to talk to about diapers?” Made me go wtf.

Yes, diapers aren't something you necessarily want to have inadvertently shared with the world, so to speak. I'm not a member on ADISC. But I do some reading there. And in some cases I'm absolutely amazed at how open & accepting some people's spouses & significant others are to the idea of diapers & other "Little" things... onesies, adult pacifiers, plastic pants, etc. But then I ran across a post where one member said their spouse cut everything they had up & burned it in the fireplace! :eek

Recently I began seeing my pdoc again. And due to the current health situation, my first appointment was over the internet. My spouse graciously went to another part of our home so that I could have privacy. But even if she had not I don't think she would have heard anything she wasn't at least aware of at a basic level. Both my spouse, as well as my pdoc, are at least aware of my life-long gender identity issues (at least at the most superficial level although I've never gone into any detail on it with either one.) But I've NEVER breathed a word to ANYONE about diapers! I've never even mentioned it here on PC until now.

I believe what some DL's do in terms of wearing at work is to switch to pull-ups which are easier to wear discreetly. Perhaps your therapist's comment that she doesn't want you to become too dependent on diapers could be taken a couple of different ways. There's the emotional / psychological dependence... the comfort some people derive from them. But there can also be the physical dependence one can develop over time if one relies on nappies for their original purpose, so to speak.

There does seem to be some controversy regarding whether or not a person can become truly incontinent from using diapers for their originally intended purpose over an extended period of time. Some DL's seem to say they have actually developed a physical dependence from which it would be difficult to recover. Others seem to suggest that regardless, even if a person develops a physical dependence, they can always recover their self-control ability. I don't have any insight into that one.

I actually prefer Pull-ups. I would never tell my Pdoc about this. I’m thinking of getting a pacifier. I’m not sure my therapist would approve. She might really flip a lid. They have some on amazon for about $6. I’m wondering if it will help with my teeth grinding as long as sensory needs.

Unfortunately my knowledge level, with regard to adult pacifiers, is limited to the fact that they can be purchased. I doubt I'll ever disclose anything about my DL side to anyone irl, although I never intended to disclose anything about my gender identity issues either. They just came awkwardly spilling out in the process of attempting to remove myself from this level of reality, so to speak. So I guess one never knows...

my reasons

to help watch a video
to help with weight lost
to help with my wrongs
to help with dryness
to help acute of recovery of desired sex togetherness
to understand come to and being feed when it seems protruding mouth

the issues of the multiplicity community which is near the forum near this forum

I'd bet there is an adjustment to overtly going on urself isn't it
also to train understand if u got into film and acting basically para Olympics
I have had plenty of survivor scares anyway

no judgement thanks for letting me read

There is nothing wrong with it but is something you want to full-time 24/7 that's the only thing and whether that's best or not for your overall wellbeing
