Bedwetter Wayne Wears Diapers By J. Nash "Wayne, it's ten after seven o'clock. Why are you not wearing rubber pants?" It was my Mom asking. Worse, she asked in front of Mrs. Kennedy and her thirteen-year old son Will. She does stuff like that. All the time. "He wears rubber pants?" Will asked. "How come?" "Unfortunately, Wayne still wets the bed, and so every night he is put in cloth diapers and rubber or plastic pants," my Mom explained. "At 7 p.m., Wayne. Not ten past. You know what can happen if you play games." She meant a spanking. Resisting being put in diapers was high on the list of spanking infractions. Being spanked was ultra-humiliating, and I usually managed to avoid it. Usually. When they happened, they were administered with a leather strap on my bare butt usually by my step- brother Nathan, which was no fun. They also hurt. A lot. "He's like fourteen and he still wets the bed?" Will asked, as if he couldn't believe it. "He still wears diapers?" His Mom shook her head in disbelief. "Yes. The diapers control the wetness and the odor, and also they're an embarrassing incentive to become dry. Wayne, go and ask your brother to put you in a set of diapers. Right now, please. Then you can come back and show Will how ridiculous you look." I had hesitated because my brother Nathan (he's my mean step-brother, actually) was playing a video game with Andrew, Will's older brother. Nathan usually handles my diapering, and gets extra on his allowance for doing it. As you can imagine, it's pretty embarrassing to have to submit to being diapered by your younger step-brother (even if he's only three months younger), but it's worse when someone else is present, especially when that person doesn't know about your 'special needs'. My Mom makes no secret about my bedwetting or diapers�that's the way she chooses to handle it. "If you're going to wet like a baby and have to wear diapers like one, we're not going to pretend that you don't," she said. "If you get teased and ridiculed, that's your own fault." So she talked openly about it to anyone and everyone, and worse, every evening I was put in my thick cloth diapers and 'baby pants' as Nathan called them, and was permitted only a tee-shirt and socks. There was no exception to this policy, and it didn't matter who saw me. Of course I did get teased and ridiculed and laughed at, and while Nathan usually changed me, there were times when the task was 'out-sourced'. So I've been diapered by friends of my brother, by cousins, of course my Mom and step-Dad (he hates it and always calls me a pathetic wuss), and even a 'babysitter', Emily and her nasty boyfriend Gary, who always calls me 'Wayne the Untrained' and other rude stuff. I get treated pretty much like a baby would. I don't get spoken to in baby talk (well Nathan sometimes does), they just matter-of-factly put me in my diapers as if it were the most normal thing in the world. Bedwetters wear diapers, right? There's no regard for modesty or dignity or my feelings. And It never gets easier. I have to forget all about matters of pride and stand totally exposed before whoever is going to diaper me, then climb up on my 'change table' with its rubber sheet/change-pad permanently in place, atop which is a thick cloth diaper with its flannelette 'Snugabye' baby-diaper boosters. I am powdered, then the front of the diaper is brought between my legs, to my waist; where it is pinned on tightly on with a single diaper pin on either side. Blue diaper pins. ("'Cause you're a boy," Nathan once joked when we bought some new ones.) Then I'm put in plastic or rubber pants, either pull-on or sometimes plastic snap-ons. Sometimes I'm mocked during the whole process. Protesting or resisting is pointless because then I just get spanked first, with that awful leather strap, and still end up in diapers anyway. Being spanked is both painful and degrading, and I hate it. So mostly I just submit to what's happening. But it's hard. Sometimes some visiting kid happens to be watching the whole thing more or less in disbelief, or is laughing at me. That's the worst. Then I'm 'free' to go and get on with my life, such as it is. I never quite get used to the thickness between my legs, the sound of the plastic or rubber as I move, the combined smell of baby powder and urine. All my diapers carry a faint smell of urine, and I'm not the only one who's noticed it. I also never quite get used to the sheer shame and humiliation of being in diapers, or the reason that I am. Or the fact that I still end up wetting them almost every night. I've never been dry two nights in a row. Like I said, it's certainly no secret that I'm a bedwetter who's made to wear diapers�but Will didn't know (well he did now) and neither did his brother. That was one of the toughest things�having it revealed to someone who didn't already know that I'm a bedwetter who is made to wear diapers. That moment that they find out is pretty hard to bear. The reaction is always pretty much the same�shock, surprise, disbelief, ridicule. One moment I'm 'normal' (as far as they know) and the next I'm a bedwetter in diapers�a big baby. That's the situation I was now in regarding Andrew. My Mom had just ordered me to go and tell Nathan to put me in my diapers. I would have to do it in front of his friend. "What do you want?" Nathan said. They were in the room we share, so maybe Andrew already knew�there was my 'change table' with its rubber change pad in place, there was my diaper pail with 'Wayne' written on it in magic marker, there was a stack of folded cloth diapers on my dresser. So maybe he knew. "Um, it's after seven," I said. "So?" Nathan was going to make it hard. He always did. "Mom sent me." "For what?" "Um, diapers, I guess." There. I said it, but not loud. Andrew looked up in surprise. "Oh, right. I need to put you in your diapers. I forgot. Ok, so get ready." Nathan took an already prepared diaper from the stack on my dresser and placed it on the rubber change pad on my change-table. He put diaper pins beside it. I have Babykins and other youth diapers, but with two triple-folded flannelette baby diapers inside for extra absorbency. I had taken to getting a whole bunch ready beforehand, so that I wouldn't have to do it in front of Nathan, or whoever. It was a little bit less embarrassing this way. But not much, because now I had to get undressed and climb up on the table and surrender to being powdered, diapered, being put in plastic or rubber pants, then living with it. This time, all in front of Andrew. I hesitated. "Go ahead, Wayne, or I'm getting the strap." "Man I can't believe this is actually happening," Andrew said. "The guy wears diapers!" I slowly kicked off my shoes, then undid my jeans and took them off. I looked away as I took my boxers down, then off. I got on the table and positioned myself on my diaper, still not looking at Andrew. But I knew he was looking at me. Nathan picked up the baby powder. He sprinkled some on me. It was a house brand from the local pharmacy. It smelled very strong. A baby smell. My diapers were clean, but looked used and were permanently stained from so many wettings. This bothered me, because it was proof that I really needed them. Nathan was about to bring the diapers up between my legs when his cell-phone rang. He stopped. I was keenly aware of Andrew staring at me. "Hello? Oh Hi Angie. Oh, nothing exciting. I'm just diapering Wayne." Of course Nathan's girlfriend Angie knew about my situation and had seen me in diapers many times. She usually called me 'Diaperboy', and mockingly asked how my 'toilet training' was going ('Hey Wayne, any progress with toilet training '101'? I didn't think so�'). He kept talking to her while I lay exposed on my diapers with Andrew staring at me. It was awful. Finally, he motioned Andrew to diaper me. Andrew wasn't sure. "What, you want me to diaper him?" "Wait a sec, Ange�sure, just pin them on him, will you?" "Ok, but I never even diapered a baby before." "Well Wayne can be your first one. Pin 'em on tight. Wayne, let him or you know you'll get spanked first." Andrew brought my diapers up between my legs and gingerly pinned them on me. He took a long time, and was careful. I closed my eyes, but could feel him. Nathan still talked on the phone, but opened my top drawer and selected a pair of plastic pants. Baby pants, as he always called them. They were my despised nursery prints, blue with images of diapered babies on them. Snap-ons. Nathan indicated to Andrew that he should put them on me. I had to lift up while Andrew placed the plastic pants under my diapers. He knew which end was which because of the label inside the back of them. He awkwardly snapped them on me. "Man oh man, this is so weird," he said. "When I got up this morning I never thought I'd be putting some kid in diapers today!" And that was it. Except not really. It's pretty bad being put in diapers, but then you have to wear them. It's endless humiliation. The diapers are a constant visible and audible reminder of your shameful weakness. 'Look at me! I'm a bedwetter! I need to be dressed like a baby! I wear diapers! I wear plastic pants! I smell of baby powder and pee! Go ahead�laugh at me! I deserve it!' Being in diapers, I can't concentrate on anything else. The diapers totally dominate my existence. Nothing else matters. That is it�I'm just an excruciatingly embarrassed big baby, not a fourteen-year old at all. This is beyond failure�total defeat for all to see. Even five-year olds feel superior to me. I'm not just in diapers�I'm in deep, unending shame. I feel like a big baby even when I'm dry. Of course Will laughed and teased me mercilessly, when he saw me, which I expected. "Hey dude, you've got babies on your baby pants. I can't believe you still need diapers and baby pants! That sucks! What a diapered loser!" I would have liked to maintain a bit of dignity in front of him (and Nathan and Andrew), but that's not really possible when you're wearing diapers. Dignity and pride and coolness are not really options. I had to just more or less accept my situation and their teasing. "Hey Nathan, shouldn't he be in his playpen?" "Hey Will�Wayne even has a rubber sheet on his bed, and a diaper pail and a change table," Andrew said. "He's like a total baby." "I figured he still slept in a crib," Will answered. At one point he smacked me on my plastic pants, on my butt. I hate that. Just when I thought it would be humanly impossible to be more embarrassed, my mom appeared with a laundry basket full of clean diapers for me to fold. So wearing diapers, I had to fold a load in front of Nathan, Will and Andrew. "Hey Wayne, did my brother really diaper you?" "I guess so." "Man, you're so lame! Fold those diapers, dude! Look, they're all pee- stained" I hate being baby-sat. When Nathan does it, it feels sort of normal because he lives here. So even though he's in charge of me it's not too obvious that I have a babysitter. But when he and my parents aren't home, then I have to have a real babysitter, and it's not fun. When I stayed at my Aunt's for two weeks my bedwetter cousin Burt and I got baby-sat at one point by this girl Emily and her mean boyfriend Gary. We were put in diapers before they arrived, but Burt wet and had to be changed by them. Then Gary was told to check my diapers to see if I was wet, and he did, making a big show of it. He didn't miss a chance to tease us and belittle us, and then he convinced Emily to send us to bed really early just to get us out of the way. Now Emily was going to come back, probably with Gary, this time to our house to baby-sit me on my own. One little problem�in his haste to get ready and go out with my parents to a hockey game, Nathan either forgot or didn't bother to diaper me. "Nathan, how come he's not in his diapers already?" Emily asked when she saw me. "Could it be that Wayne's grown into a big boy now? Nah, I don't think so," Gary said. He had to come, of course. "Darn, I forgot all about it," Nathan said. "Look, I gotta go. Just handle it guys, ok? Thanks!" And he was gone. "Are you going to do it?" Emily asked. "No, you do it," Gary said. "You're the official babysitter." "Tell you what, we'll flip a coin, and the loser gets to change Mr. Toilet Training here. Wayne, get a diaper ready, and you get ready for it." I placed an already prepared diaper on my change pad and slowly, reluctantly began unzipping my jeans. The alternative was to have them do it for me, and maybe spank me as well. Emily was not going to give me a break. She was either going to diaper me or watch. They flipped a coin and Gary 'lost'. "Do you even know how to do it?" Emily laughed. She didn't even glance at me as I stepped out of my boxers. To her I was just another uninteresting baby. "Hey I diapered his bedwetter friend Baby Burt, remember?" "Oh yeah. He was sooo embarrassed!" Gary motioned me to get on the table. I complied. Emily still acted as if this was totally normal. I was dying of shame. "Hand me his diaper pins." He grabbed the container of baby powder and dumped quite a bit on me. She placed the pins beside me and watched approvingly as Gary pulled the diapers up between my legs and pinned them securely on. I was nearly crying by the end of it. "Very good," said Emily, "you'll make a fine Daddy." "Baby Wayne, who's your Daddy?" I was trying hard not to cry. "Ok, Em, get me some baby pants, will you?" I was snapped into my blue ones, of course. By Gary. When you're in diapers it's impossible to pretend you don't need them. They sort of speak for themselves. In fact they scream 'this guy pees his pants, he's a bedwetter', and that's how I felt. Getting diapered by Gary was pretty bad, but having to wear them in front of him and Emily was terrible. For me it was the ultimate in shame and humiliation. As a matter of fact it was so bad that I did a Burt. I wet them. I didn't even realize it until Gary did a humiliating diaper check and found that I was soaked. How could that happen? You would think that being hyper-conscious of wearing diapers would help me keep them dry, but I guess my stress robbed me of control and awareness. "I can't believe the big baby's wet already," Gary said. "Do we change him?" "Well it's only eight o'clock," Emily said. "He can't stay wet until tomorrow. I know�I'll call Nathan, but I'm sure he'll want him changed." She dialed her cell phone. "Hey Nathan. Sorry to bother you. Listen, Wayne wet his diapers. Yeah, he's pretty soaked. Do we just change him, or what? Okay, top drawer? And the wipes�okay. If you say so�yes I'm looking at it�I'll get Gary to do that. How many? Twenty? No problem. He'll enjoy that. No not Wayne, silly�Gary." With a sinking, sick feeling I thought I knew what was coming. "Um, should I get on the table?" "Not yet. Gary, Nathan said there are medical gloves and baby wipes in his top drawer where his baby pants are. And while you're at it, bring the strap. Nathan said to give Wayne a good spanking before he's put in clean diapers." "Wow," Gary said. "Babysitting is fun!" Emily was present once when I was spanked by Nathan, so she knew how it was done. I had to bend over my change table, where a diaper was waiting for when it was over. She knew that both my Mom and Nathan made me wait 'in position' for awhile before my spanking actually began. She told Gary. "Why do you make him wait?" "Because it brings on maximum anticipation, fear, and humiliation. It's actually an important part of the spanking process." Gary already had medical gloves on. The strap was on my change table on top of my diapers. I tried not to look at it. He told me to lean over. I felt him undoing my plastic pants. It felt weird. A moment later I felt my diapers coming off, and felt the cold air on me. And I heard the lid come off the diaper pail. I dreaded his using a Huggies wipe on me, but he didn't. He either forgot, or just didn't want to. I saw the strap disappear from on top of my diapers. He practiced a couple of times, I think on the side of my dresser. It sounded brutal. Emily was still there. Again she would watch me get spanked. Gary made me wait a long time, bent over my change table, bare butt, in horrible fear, anticipation, and shame. Emily was right. It was an effective part of the spanking process. Then finally the first stroke came. It stung badly. Gary wasn't fooling around. When Nathan spanks me the strokes come in fairly rapid succession and the whole thing is over relatively quickly. Gary was different. He waited a long time in between, and used more force than Nathan, who nevertheless spanked hard. So physically the pain was worse, and I involuntarily cried out with each stroke. But psychologically my punishment was more severe as well, because it went on for so much longer, and there was more time for pain, shame and humiliation to sink in. Those words took on new meaning as I waited for my spanking to end. It probably took ten minutes in all. That I was a fourteen-year old having to submit to a spanking by someone (practically a stranger) my own age for having wet my diapers (diapers!), that I was a nightly bedwetter who would be put back in diapers at the end of his spanking, that it was happening in front of a girl who saw me as nothing more than an infant�it was all too much, and I was crying as Gary administered the last three or four strokes. Then it was over. He sprinkled baby powder on the part of the diapers that would cover my butt. He still wore the medical gloves. "Ok�climb up, lie on your diapers, and I'll pin them on you." My plastic pants lay to one side. I did as I was told. Before pinning them on he powdered my front. Then he told me to lift up and he positioned the same plastic pants under me, then snapped them on me. "Wayne, if you wet again you'll just have to stay wet. We have better things to do than to be changing your diapers," Emily said. Yeah, like smooching. For the next hour or so before being sent to bed I experienced huge embarrassment as Emily and Gary babysat me. I couldn't sit down because my butt stung so much from the spanking so I had to stand there and pretend to watch TV with them. But I could only think of what Gary had just done to me. He spanked me, then diapered me, and now I stood in front of him like a punished baby. Ridiculous and helpless. I smelled bad because I was back in the plastic pants I had peed, and he hadn't used a baby wipe, even though I'd have died if he did. My diapers smelled anyway. My pants made noise at the slightest move. Gary was very pleased with himself. "Wayne, are you still dry?" "Yes." "Well you're pretty smelly. Come here and I'll check." He tugged on the waistband of my plastic pants and had a look at my diapers. It was just to be mean. "Ok." "It doesn't matter--we're not changing him again anyway," Emily said, "and of course he smells�you put him in the same peed baby pants without even using a Huggies wipe." "Oops, I forgot!" It was a relief when I was finally sent to bed. A friend of my mother's won a trip for two to Palm Springs, Florida. She couldn't go because of illness in the family, so she gave it to my parents. Nathan talked his way into going too, but when I tried my Mom said no. She said it was a rare chance for a holiday and they didn't want to be changing diapers. That's what she does; rubs it in. "Maybe when you're a big boy�" Nathan teased. After much discussion and phone calls it was decided that I would stay with Aunt Connie, who was just back from London, and whom I had never met. She had two boys, Sean and Andrew, fourteen and thirteen. It didn't help that I met them for the first time carrying a diaper bag and my diaper pail. I guess they had been told, and already regarded me as if I were some kind of dumb freak. "So you still wear diapers?" Sean asked. "That's pretty retarded, dude." Both of them were laughing. "Speaking of which," Connie said to my Mom, "I would feel a whole lot more comfortable if Wayne were in diapers the whole time that he's here. I just got new carpets and new furniture, and I don't want any accidents. I just don't want to take any chances. Better safe than sorry. If he stays dry, well so much the better, and no harm done." "Well he mostly only wets at night, but it's your house and your call," my Mom said. "Sorry, Wayne, but you only have yourself to blame." "Mostly at night," Andrew said. They were still laughing. I was in shock. Diapers in the daytime! And I knew I had no pants that would fit over them. They hadn't even thought of that. As soon as my Mom left Aunt Connie told me to go up to the boys' room, which I would be sharing, and to take my stuff. It was ten a.m. "There's a table up there we can use to change you�did you remember to bring a change pad? Put in on the table. Did you bring a rubber sheet for your bed? You'll see an unmade bed. Put the rubber sheet on it ok? And unpack your stuff. It can go at the end of the change table, because there are no free dresser drawers." It was actually a plastic sheet. "I'll be up in a minute to change you." The boys were beside themselves. "We'll show you where to go," Sean said. They just wanted to witness the freak show. So upstairs, in front of them I had to unpack my stuff� five pre-made up diapers, 3 pairs of plastic pants, including snap-on nursery prints, and one pair of rubber pants. Also there was a small plastic container of diaper pins, plus medical gloves, baby powder, diaper rash ointment, my change pad, and plastic sheet. And my strap. "What a lot of baby stuff. And what's that strap for? Don't tell me you even get spanked?" Sean said after I had put everything where it was supposed to go on the change table (well, it was now), including my change pad. It was hard. The rubber change pad rustled when I put it in place, and it gave off a faint sour smell of rubber and urine. "Sometimes I get spanked," I admitted. "What a lot of baby stuff, and what a lot of baby!" Andrew retorted. "Spanked and diapered�dude, you need to grow up. But right now you need to put your plastic sheet on the mattress there. Our friends sleep on that and we don't want it peed." I did it, and it made a lot of noise also. Then my Aunt was there. "Ok Wayne, let's do this. I see your leather strap. Your Mom said to spank you if you make a fuss. Are you going to make a fuss?" "No." "Then get yourself ready, then lay on your diaper." She was putting one in place on the change pad. "Boys, I'm going to diaper Wayne, and I want you to watch carefully because guess what�after this time you guys are going to be doing it. My diaper changing days are over." "You're making us baby-sit Wayne and change his diapers?" Andrew said. "The horror!" The boys laughed. "And I just thought of something. Wayne, since the boys will be changing your diapers, they will also be authorized to spank you if they need to. So I'm actually going to spank you now so they know how it's done. I'm sorry, but it's for your own good. It's just one of the consequences of your bad habit. So get undressed and lean over the table." Of course I was appalled to be getting an unfair spanking, especially in front of my cousins and that they would be allowed to spank me. And to diaper me. And it was excruciatingly embarrassing to be standing naked from the waist down in front of my Aunt and cousins, but I knew I had no choice. Slowly I got 'in position', painfully aware of the boys' eyes on my butt. I was staring at the diapers I would soon be wearing in front of them. And the plastic pants. What a nightmare! "Sean, hand me the strap. This is exactly the amount of force to use. No more." "Or less," Andrew said. Aunt Connie sure didn't spare the rod. The strokes were severe and painful. I flinched and cried out with every one. After ten she stopped, and I thought I was about to finally be diapered, but I was wrong. "Sean, take the strap and give him five practice strokes. Use the same amount of force." "Cool!" I waited in shock and horror to be spanked by my cousin. He delivered five hard strokes, and then it was Andrew's turn. I got five more. My butt was stinging badly by the time I was laying on my back waiting to have my diapers pinned on. "Boys, if you're changing wet diapers always use gloves, and remember to powder him�like so�then just bring his diapers up between his legs and pin them on. Like that�and that. No need to stab him with his diaper pins. Make sure they're pinned on tight or he might leak. And then put him in either plastic or rubber pants, and make sure they completely cover the diapers. Lift up Wayne, so I can put your plastic pants on you." I did, and she snapped my nursery print pants on me. "Do we have to change him as soon as he's wet?" Sean asked. "Within a reasonable time," my aunt said "otherwise he'll get diaper rash." "It's cool that we can spank him," Andrew said. "Yes but only if you have good reason," she said. "Don't spank him if he's cooperating." "We won't," both boys said, laughing. So there I was at ten in the morning, already spanked, in diapers, plastic pants, socks and a tee- shirt, facing the day at the mercy of my cousins and whoever they might invite to mock and ridicule me. There were two new rules�I was not allowed to sit on any cloth-covered furniture�a cheap plastic chair had been placed in the living room for me to use, and I was not under any circumstances to unpin my diapers. I was told I would be severely spanked if I did. But this meant that I couldn't just go to the bathroom when I wanted, and by one pm I was wet. I stayed that way until around three, when my Aunt finally noticed, I guess because of the smell. "Don't tell me you're already wet! So I was right to put you in daytime diapers!" She told Sean to change me. By then the boys had invited friends over, Seth and Paul, and they made the most of teasing and laughing at me. They called me 'Baby Wayne' 'Diaper-boy' and 'Baby-Pants Boy'. It was horrible. "I can't believe he peed his baby pants," Paul laughed. "And you have to change him, Sean." "Well that's the down side," Sean said. "Yes, I have to change Wayne's smelly diapers. But I also get to spank him first." My heart sank and my mouth got dry. We went up to the bedroom. I was painfully aware of how much noise my plastic pants made as I climbed the stairs, as if that mattered now. Four excited, mocking, gloating boys and me in my wet diapers. This would be my first spanking by Sean, and the beginning of a terrible pattern. For every time either cousin changed me, they were going to spank me first. They quickly found that 'babysitting' me and changing wet and smelly diapers was a nuisance, and they were going to make me pay, Sometimes that would mean up to three spankings a day. When I complained to my Aunt, she merely said that was the price they 'charged' for having to change my diapers, and refused to intervene. "Bend over, Wayne." Sean put on medical gloves. I did as he said. My cousins' friends seemed in awe of the situation�a fourteen year old about to have his wet diapers removed, receive a spanking and then be re-diapered. They were amazed by my 'change table' with its change pad and array of stacked diapers, plastic pants and other things. And of course that I had a diaper pail. And that strap. "Did you ever get spanked, Seth?' Sean asked. "Nope. A time out, maybe, or I've been grounded, but that's it. Sean, you're really going to spank him?" "Yep. You'll see." "I never got spanked, but then I never wet my bed or pants either," Paul said. "Well, duh," Seth said. He grabbed my strap and started flexing it in the air. I flinched as Sean began to unsnap my plastic pants, first the left side, then the right. Now what was about to happen was really sinking in. He placed the pants near my waiting clean diapers. Then I felt my wet diapers coming off. "Whoa, he smells!" Paul said. I was spanked enthusiastically as the boys laughed and made jokes. Sean diapered me, and I had to endure their teasing for the rest of the day. About two hours after being changed, and in front of all the boys, Andrew inserted two fingers into the top of my diapers, and stretching them and my plastic pants outward a few inches, looked right inside to see if I was wet. It was incredibly embarrassing and infantilizing, and made them laugh. "Is baby wet?" Seth asked. Then at one point Sean called me over to the computer. The others watched the screen and were laughing. He had brought up a site that is a support group for bedwetters (http://Groups.msn.com/SupportforBedwetters). He had already signed me up. "It's where you belong, Wayne," Paul said. I guess he was right.
