How and when did you come to the realization that you were a 24/7 diaper-wearer and would remain as a 24/7 diaper wearer indefinitely? How did this make you feel?

Name	Age	Answer
Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)	14	I, and brothers, cousins, all were home schooled. But because in early age my older brother refussed Potty training, and our Parents, and Sisters, all knew of Deekers and the Deeker idea that All boys should wear and use Diapers, they decided to keep us boys 24/7 in Diapers. At age 9 yr. I, asked, "To wear big boys underwear and clothes, it was then that my Parents and Sister, said, "No, your a Diaper dependent, boys because you have always worn Diapers and used them, now your dependent on them for both peeing and pooping..."
DIAPERED4LIFE	--	i LUV BEIN A 24/7 WEARER AND I WUZ 13 WHEN I FELT THAT I WANTED TO BE A 24/7R.
tommy	46	after many accidental wettings and messes, I felt defeated.
durgan87	39	Didn't worry about it and just accepted it as what it was.
jarrod	--	at 13 i thought it was cool
Matt	15	I was first punished by being put back into diapers in the beginning of October. I got suspended from school for fighting and that's the punishment my dad chose. My punishment was supposed to last a month. About halfway into it my dad took me and my brothers to the movies. After the movie was over my dad told me it was time for a diaper check. He told me to drop my pants right there in the theater. I go t really mad because I didn't want to have my diaper checked like that. I hit my dad and ran out into the parking lot. When I got home my dad spanked me hard. The next day he told me I will be in diapers all the time until I graduate high school, and he will potty train me again for college. At this point I knew that any complaints would lead to a spanking so I didn't complain even though I felt really embarrassed and mad.
inpampers	37	After I begged my mother to buy me diapers when I was 4.5 and I was put in my first diaper I realized that I would be wearing diapers 24/7 for a long time and I loved it. I continued to wear diapers 24/7 until I was almost 7. Then I wore diapers again until I was almost 9. When I was 10 I started stealing diapers and then started buying my own diapers and wore them on and off until I was 17. When I was almost 18 I began wearing diapers more and more frequently and by the time I was 18.5 I was wearing diapers 24/7 again.
Thomas	58	I don't wear diapers 24/7 but need them most of the time. I finally accepted it in my early 30s.
diaperedteen	25	I knew from an early age that I loved wearing diapers. I wore diapers on a semi-regular basis throughout high-school, and was certainly full-time at night. As soon as I got to college, I became a 24/7 diaper wearer. I would mess and wet in-class, in my room-mates presence, it didn't matter.
	54	I returned to work after being off because of injuries and surgery. I started having close calls and wetting at work, so ordered incontinence pants from Sears. Evenually, I switched to diapers and plastic pants. I felt embarrased about my diapers, but eventually became okay with them.
Tom	23	age 6 or 7, no real problem with it
Bobby	11	It started as a punishment then my tailbone got injured and now I gotta wear them all the time. I hate it.
craig	8	When I was six years old I did not want to stop playing
Nicholas	13	I was about 5-6 years when i realized that I was still in diapers unlike most other kids of my age. Other kids teased me a lot because i was still wearing diapers. At that time i was very embarrased because i was still in diapers and it was my biggest dream to become a big boy in underpants.
Greg	32	About the time I bought my first house I discovered adult diapers. I always had a diaper fetish before that time, but Iwas completely thrilled at the idea of wearing and using adult diapers. At the same time I had freedom and privacy in my new house. It wasn't long before I realized I didn't want to go anywhere without diapers under my pants. I soon hated going in public without wearing a diaper, so I gave up normal underwear and started wearing diapers 24/7. I was so happy with my protection. I could pee as soon as I had to and not have to hold it. As time went on I stopped holding my pee urges and just wet my diaper when I had to pee. One day I had a wedding to go to and thought the diaper would be too obvious under my dress pants, so I wore normal underwear. I wet my pants at the reception. This was when I realized that I had almost no control anymore. At first I was scared at the prospect of being incontinent, but then I remembered that this is what I love about wearing diapers. I am always protected from embarrassing accidents and I love the feeling everytime I wet my pants. I have become lazy about holding my poop too and lately I'm starting to be close to bowel incontinent. If the urge to poop comes, I better be sitting down or I will poop in my pants. I like that level of control. I feel somewhat powerless to pooping.
mikey	43	When I was about 3 years old, in nursery school.

As a young boy (age 12 and under), how did wearing diapers 24/7 make you go pantsless while at home? In other words, list the reasons for it:

Name	Age	Answer
Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)	14	We were dependent on using our Diapers, for peeing and pooping, so it made things easier on Diaper Changes. Both our Parents, and Sisters, said, "That since we were boys we must wear Diapers and use them." Being both home schooled, and because, it was the Parents, rule, I, we, boys, became Diaper-boys, and enjoyed wearing Diapers.
jarrod	--	it didnt
inpampers	37	When I was put back in diapers when I was 4.5 my mother decided that unless it was exceptionally cold that I didn't need to wear pants over my diapers for several reasons having my diapers exposed meant that it was easier to determine if I needed changing. having my diapers exposed meant that it was easier to change me. having my diapers exposed meant that I (and others) would be constantly reminded of the fact that I was wearing diapers. having my diapers exposed meant that if my diapers leaked that I wouldn't get my pants dirty thus less laundry. Typically those in diapers didn't wear any pants because they were in diapers, so even though I was older than almost all the other children who were in diapers my diapers were to be exposed too.
Thomas	58	The only stigma to my needing diapers was that which I placed on myself. My mom often found it easier to just let me play without pants some of the time.
Tom	23	all the boys wore either just diapers or underpants around the house
Bobby	11	I had to when I was being punished.
craig	8	It was my choise to go pantsless. I was still aloud to wear my pants and my pants put away or looked up It was my choise to go pantsless
Nicholas	13	If it is warm i prefer to go pantsless at home. I think it is much more comfortable to be pantsless when i play. Most of my pants are bibpants with a lot of room for my diapers. Everyone at home knows i wear diapers so there is no reason to hide it. Sometimes mom does not put my pants on again after she has changed my diapers. Furthermore it is easy to check my diapers when i am pantsless.
mikey	43	Was easier to check/change me.

How did you feel about your brothers who did not wear diapers 24/7 (if at all) and could wear pants (if they did) or at least having the choice of doing so?

Name	Age	Answer
Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)	14	All of us boy, my brothers and cousins wore Diapers, 24/7
DIAPERED4LIFE	--	i FELT VERY VERY SORRY FOR THEM. bECAUSEI GET ALL THE ATTENTION FROM THEGIRLS.
jarrod	--	dunno
Matt	15	My dad told my brothers that they will be diapered too when they start high school since that's when I started to be bad and he doesn't want them to be the same way. Until then they can wear regular underwear. I don't really mind because I know they'll have to wear them too eventually and for just as long as me, but it's embarrassing that my younger brothers don't wear diapers when I do.
diaperedteen	25	I had mixed feelings. My younger brother was toilet trained before I was, so I wore diapers longer than he did. I was a tad jealous of him for getting to wear "big boy" clothing (this is what my parents wanted) but I remember also loving my diapers and not wanting to give them up.
Tom	23	no problem
craig	8	I thought they were werd
Nicholas	13	My brother is much younger than i but he is allowed to do a lot of things that i am not allowed because i am still in diapers and that is not fair i think. Sometimes i fell that i am his little brother.

How did you feel about your sisters for not wearing diapers and because of this, wearing pants or at least having the choice of doing so?

Name	Age	Answer
Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)	14	Girls, my, our, Sisters use better bodily hygiene, and Diapers are a boys things. All boys should wear Diapers.
jarrod	--	dont have any
inpampers	37	Didn't care just as long as I got to wear diapers.
Tom	23	no sisters
Bobby	11	Its unfair.
craig	8	I only have two brothers
Nicholas	13	My little sister is more like a big sister to me and i have accepted that now.

How did your brothers treat you for being a 24/7 diaper-wearer? (focus on the things that they did because of the fact that you wore diapers 24/7):

Name	Age	Answer
Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)	14	They also wore Diapers 24/7.
jarrod	--	no different
Matt	15	They know it's coming for them and that if they are mean to me about it then they'll be spanked and have a temporary diaper punoshment so they don't really say anything.
diaperedteen	25	My brother, even when he found out about my diaper-wearing when I was 12-years-old, was extremely compassionate. I am so lucky to have a brother such as him!
Tom	23	diapers made no difference in treatment
craig	8	They still wear diapers to
Nicholas	13	My little brother often tells me that he is a big boy because he is in underpants and not in diapers.

How did your sisters treat you for being a 24/7 diaper-wearer? (focus on the things that they did because of the fact that you wore diapers 24/7):

Name	Age	Answer
Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)	14	They constantly reminded us that we were boys and that Diapers, were for boys, and Girls were much better at hygiene than boys.
jarrod	--	dont have any
inpampers	37	My sister treated me more like a baby. She would also pin me down and tickle me until I wet myself (she also did that after I stopped wearing diapers, which got me put back in diapers more than once).
Tom	23	no sisters
Bobby	11	Like a baby.
craig	8	I only have brothers
Nicholas	13	My sister treats me like i am a little boy. If i have pooped in my diapers she tells it to mom. She reminds mom about my bedtimes. She helps mom changing my diapers.

List the boys you knew as a young boy (age 12 and under) who were 24/7 diaper wearers and why they were 24/7 diaper wearers: Also list the boys you knew as a young boy (age 12 and under) who were voluntary diaper wearers (24/7 or not) and why they were voluntary diaper wearers: Also indicate if their coluntary diaper wearing led to 24/7 diaper wearing out of necessity:

Name	Age	Answer
Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)	14	Many.
jarrod	--	many
inpampers	37	When I was in grade 1 I discovered that my friend Miles started wearing diapers voluntarily one day after school. We were on the bus home when he whispered to me that he had to poop and before I knew it he was squatting beside me filling his diaper. We got off at the next stop and as we walked to his house he told me that he started wearing diapers a week ago because I had told him how much I liked it and now that he had tried it he loved it too. When we got to his house his mother came and asked Miles if he needed a diaper change and then once she figured out who I was asked if I needed one too. So then she changed both our diapers and left us to play in just our shirts and diapers.
diaperedteen	25	I remember in pre-school my best friend and his twin brother both wore diapers 24/7. I was so jealous of them. I guess they were just late trainers. I remember watching in jealousy many of their diaper changes.
Tom	23	my brothers, my cousins, some friends
craig	8	All of my friends did
Nicholas	13	I know several boys in diapers but they are much younger than i. In my day care there is two other boys in diapers but they are only two and three years old.

Describe the correlation between wearing diapers and being pantsless for the boys in your household as a young boy. In other words, was being in diapers the only reason for a boy to be pantsless or did non-diaper wearing boys also go around pantsless for any reason?

Name	Age	Answer
Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)	14	No, it made Diaper changes much easier, and our Parents thought us boys looked much cuter in nothing else but our Diapers and Plastic baby pants.
jarrod	--	none
Matt	15	My brothers are only allowed to wear underwear to bed and we all have to get ready for bed an hour before so for an hour before bedtime they don't wear pants either. I am not allowed to wear pants at home because I wear cloth diapers at home and my pants don't fit plus checks and changes are easier.
Tom	23	everyone went pantsless unless it was very cold
Nicholas	13	I am the only one at my home who is in diapers and i am also the only one who is pantsless.

As a young boy (before age 12), how did wearing diapers 24/7 affect your life at home? If an adult, how does it affect your life now?

Name	Age	Answer
Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)	14	It does not necessarily affect our home life, as our Parents have made the decision, that All boys belong in Diapers and will wear and use them. Therefore, they have alo created for us a Nursery, totally equiped with every thing...
jarrod	--	didnt
inpampers	37	Didn't really affect my life when I was a kid except for the fact that I had no privacy but it wasn't thought that I needed any. I may have lost a couple of 'friends' when they came over to my house and discovered that I wore diapers (if they didn't know already) or to be confronted by the fact that I wore diapers (meaning having my diapers right there in front of them) like the changing table in my room, or having my diaper changed right in front of them if I was wet or messy. A couple of times my friends expressed an interest in wearing diapers after they saw my changing table or watched me get my diaper changed or watched as I wet or messed my diaper right in front of them.
Thomas	58	It severely restricted what I did after school and on weekends. Because I was in diapers most of the time I didn't go out for sports or play outside as much as other kids my age.
diaperedteen	25	When I don't wear a diaper, I ususally have both wetting and messing accidents in my pants, so I have to use care and always have a diaper on or else. Too me, diapers are a Godsend.
	54	I only wore diapers until I was about four. Then I wore training pants until I was about six or seven. I wet the bed until I was thirteen, but didn't wear diapers.
Tom	23	no negative affect, just a routine thing for me
Bobby	11	I gotta stay in all the time.
craig	8	Didn't affect my life at home
Nicholas	13	It affects my life very much. I have to go to bed at seven every day. Everyday i am send to bed after dinner to have a nap. I dont have my own room. I still sleep in the nursery next to my parents. When i go to bath i am supervised by mom. If my parents are away from the home there has to be a babysitter for me. I am only allowed to watch tv for little kids.
Greg	32	Wearing diapers 24/7 has little effect on my life. I just have to plan ahead so I have enough diapers. Every once in a while I need more diapers than I have and I either have an embarrassing leak or just a mild incovenience. This is nothing compared to the convenience of peeing any time.
mikey	43	It meant that when I wet or pooped, someone (an adult or sitter)had to stop whatever they were doing and change me.

As a young boy (before age 12), how did wearing diapers 24/7 affect your life in school, while being with your friends or out in public? If an adult, how does it affect your life now (including work)?

Name	Age	Answer
Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)	14	We all as stated above, were home schooled, and we weren't bothered by our friends seeing us in Diapers, because nearly all of them were also in Diapers. Out in Public, some times was and could be embarrassing and humiliating, but we got used to it, and accepted the rules our Parents made, that all of us boys belonged in Diapers
jarrod	--	didnt
Thomas	58	School was a daily excercise in hiding my need for diapers. I was always trying to figure out if I needed a change and anxious for the day to end. Today, it limits how I interact with other people in social settings. It hasn't been a problem for my career.
Tom	23	no real affect
Bobby	11	Kids make fun of me.
craig	8	I can't say it affect my life in school. Yes I did get teased alot and laught at alot but all most everybody wanted to thr and wear one again
Nicholas	13	I was taken out of the public school in august this year because I got teased by the other kids because of my diapers and my parents were not satisfied with my teachers. In school my diapers were changed in the kindergarten. Now i am home schooled but every Monday and Friday i stay at a private day care from seven in the morning and until five in the afternoon when my mom works.
Greg	32	Everyone I know knows I wear diapers. If they don't like it, they aren't my friend. The only difference it makes in my life is that I always have some type of diaper bag. (backpack, briefcase, whatever works)
mikey	43	Was subject to verbal abuse by other boys in school. It was largely ignored by adults in school.

How do you think your life would have been different if you didn't wear diapers 24/7 as a young boy (ages 12 and under), or at all?

Name	Age	Answer
Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)	14	If, we didn't wear Diapers 24/7 & both our Parents, and Sisters, making and dictating the rules, Laws, for us boys, we probably would be trying secretly or what ever it took to wear Diapers.
jarrod	--	not at all
Thomas	58	I would have had a much more normal childhood and wouldn't be as guarded.
Tom	23	not much different, except I'd wear boxers instead of diapers
Bobby	11	A lot better!
craig	8	I think my life whould have remain the same
Nicholas	13	I would still have been in a normal public school
Greg	32	I would probably be more driven for sex with women. As it is, I have gotten much of my sexual satisfaction
mikey	43	I don't know. I cannot fully comprehend what it means to be "normal".
