I am 14, bedwetter and also having day accidents. so i am diapered nearly 24/7. I would miss the warm, soft and secure feeling of a diaper. And i also like when my parents change my diapers and clean me and put baby oil on me. This diaper changes i would also miss very much. I wouldn't stop wetting my diapers also if i would have better bladder control. Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)   14 The thickness, and bulk between my legs, and over my entire lower, area, the loss of all the sexual arousal I, get in wearing Diapers. Greg   32 I would miss being able to pee and poop whenever I have to go. I would not like the discomfort of having to hold it when I couldn't get to a toilet. I would probably have many accidents even if I had my control back, because I would forget to hold it and just start wetting or pooping. Allen   17 having my diapers changed after I go in them, being bathed, my morning baa baa, naps, early bedtime Poopypants man   15 I would miss the feeling of wet and poopy diapers Mike   15 I really like being able to masturate anywhere I want and being able to pee or pop when need too. I also would miss going around in public with only diapers on because I get lots of attention from girls and get to feel like a true diaper boy. I don't knpw exactly wat it is I like about that feeling, but tere is something enoyable about it. tommy   46 the convience, and security james a   18 I miss (b/c i don't wear) the feel, the convenience of not having to go to the bathroom. even the smell to some extent -that is part of the experiance! diaperkevin   34 I would miss the comfort and security Jerry Scott   46 I would not like it because I enjoy my diaper more then a lot of other thing like smoke and drinking thing that not good for you. dean   -- The feel of my diapers on my skin. I have been a bedwetter all my life. I also play baby games with my stepsister since 14. I would miss that the most. heavily diapered   14 everything Bobby   11 Nothing! Jon   15 The feeling of a warm wet diaper. The attention I get during diaper changes. The refreshing feeling of a dry diaper after a change. The crinkle noise from the diaper following me around the house. diaper boy   9 I would miss the feel,the comfert of them, the crinkle sound they make and the smell of baby power and baby lotion Mundungus   30 The feeling of freedom - being able to do my needs wherever I am. Unown   16 The feel of being a baby. Tom   23 The security of the diaper, the thickness between my legs The Nasty Blind Aspie   22 I would miss the sexual aspects of the diapers and the feelings associated with wearing and using them. Since my interest in diapers is purely fetishistic, it is the fetish aspects that I would miss most. matthew   23 i really wouldnt miss anything about them    29 Parts of movies and/or sporting events baby augumon   18 pretty much everything, why anyone would give it up, i dont know. greysen   10 everything. i love all the feels looks, and smells of diapers. ItsOnlyMe   35 I'd miss the comforting and secure feeling of a diaper pulled tight around my legs and waist, and the warm feeling of body heat trapped inside my diaper. Though I pay little attention anymore, sometimes when I notice its happening, I actually enjoy the feeling of wetting; that warm flow of pee swirling around for a moment, searching for a dry spot of the diaper to soak into. And while they happen rarely and I hate the clean-up involved, its almost like Christmas waking up in the morning to find a turd in my diaper from an overnight poop accident. Most of all, though, I'd miss not needing to pay attention to if or when my body says I need to relieve myself (since it doesn't bother to tell me now), and whatever small amount of time it freed up each day just going in my diaper instead of having to search out a restroom to take care of my business. Describe what you would NOT miss if you suddently had to stop wearing diapers: Name Age Answer Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)   14 I, can't think of anything that I, wouldn't miss. Greg   32 I would not miss the little extra work involved with diaper changes all the time. Sometimes I get tired of so many diaper changes. I would also not miss worrying about leaks and stinking after I poop in my pants. Allen   17 my younger brother playing with my bum hole everytime he changes my diapers Poopypants man   15 nothing Mike   15 Not having a chance of getting a girlfriend tommy   46 expense, smell, LEAKS james a   18 clean up, the risk of being caught and publically shamed, having to change out of them before i went somewhere (i only wear in private) diaperkevin   34 the pee smell Jerry Scott   46 I love wear diaper peiod................ dean   -- diaper rash heavily diapered   14 nothing Bobby   11 Everything about them! diaper boy   9 I will miss everything about the diapers because I've been wearing diapers for life so far Mundungus   30 The need to carry spare diapers with me all the time. Unown   16 Messy smells, trying not to be suspicious when throwing dirty diapers in the trash, taking showers because of a really messy diaper. Tom   23 Nothing. I actually like having to wear diapers The Nasty Blind Aspie   22 I would NOT miss having to hide my behavior, activities and interests from parents and college people. baby augumon   18 worrying about getting caught and punished for it. greysen   10 i would miss everything ItsOnlyMe   35 I control it pretty well, but I wouldn't miss the smell of a wet diaper. Along the same lines, I wouldn't miss having to keep wearing that same wet diaper until it was time for a change (I follow the "wet diaper wear" protocol, changing every 4-5 hours rather than the moment after I wet). I wouldn't miss that rare occassion when my usual set-up couldn't keep up with my output and led to an untimely and embarassing leak. I wouldn't have to worry about carrying diapers with me EVERYWHERE. I wouldn't miss the extra laundry involved with soaking and washing cloth diapers every day. I wouldn't miss having to justify to the penny-pinchers why I need my own hotel room when I go on business trips with coworkers. I wouldn't miss waiting for my bladder to empty to rip off my diaper and screw the GF without worrying I'd piss inside her. All of this could be tossed into one catagory, "I would not miss NOT being in control." Describe the things you would look forward to doing if you stopped wearing diapers: Name Age Answer Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)   14 Can't think of any. Greg   32 More sports. It's hard to play basketball while wearing diapers. If I poop in my pants while doing something active, I have to stop and stopping isn't always convenient. Diaper changes at pro sports games are difficult. Poopypants man   15 nothing Mike   15 Dating, being "normal" Bob   13 Getting to do PE, not smelling like pee all the time tommy   46 swimming wearing swim suit james a   18 nothing would really be looked foward to because I am not held back from anything i want. diaperkevin   34 nothing Jerry Scott   46 I like wearing diaper 24/7 dean   -- nothing, I wear 24/7. anytime I am awake I have control, I just like to wear Bobby   11 Being able to go outside. Playing with the other kids. Not hearing them crinkle when I walk. diaper boy   9 I will miss everything about the diapers because I've been wearing diapers for life so far Unown   16 More time for videogames and friends Tom   23 Nothing different. I guess I'd hang around in boxer shorts instead of my diapers The Nasty Blind Aspie   22 I don't really know for certain. I would certainly look forward to not having so much bloody stress in my life just because people are uncomfortable with my interests and I therefore have to hide them. matthew   23 wearing underwear using th toilet greysen   10 nothing ItsOnlyMe   35 Nothing, really. I've been incontinent long enough (and a diaper wearer by choice for years before that) to not let diapers keep me from whatever I felt like doing. If anything, it's being able to have sex without worrying about having an accident at the wrong time, and in the wrong place. Describe the things you would NOT look forward to doing if you stopped wearing diapers: Name Age Answer Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)   14 Having to use the toilet, I, would miss all of the attention, and Diaper Changes, the teasing and attention from my sisters and all the family. Greg   32 Planning pee breaks while traveling or doing other activities. Jdiap   29 I would probably start having lots of accidents from trying to hold it.

I hate wearing these things! iminpampers   36 Having already experienced this I know that the thing I would dread the most would be all the embarrasment I would suffer due to wetting my pants in public. I don't mind so much if strangers saw me wet my pants. Explaining to my friends that I had wet my pants because I wasn't currently wearing diapers. diaper boy   9 looking for toilets Unown   16 That baby feeling we all love Tom   23 Looking for a toilet whenever I felt the urge to go The Nasty Blind Aspie   22 I have a phobia of public rest rooms, and I would FAR rather use a diaper than undergo the panic that occurs when I am faced with the prospect of a public bathroom. I am very good at holding it in, but diapers are still far more practical.    29 Missing Parts of movies and/or sporting events baby augumon   18 having to go no.2 extremely bad when only rest area restrooms are nearby. they are filthy. greysen   10 all the things i love about diapers ItsOnlyMe   35 For five years, my bladder hasn't kept me in the loop and has gone about its business without any input from me. I remember when I had "control" and had to find a restroom whenever my bladder started complaining about being full, and I'm not sure I'd want to go back to that. As a matter of convenience, I enjoy not having to worry about how full my bladder's getting and when I need to pay attention to it, and just letting my diaper keep everything contained when my bladder decides its full enough and empties. What are your feelings about using public restrooms, whether or not you are a full-time diaper wearer? What things make or would make you uncomfortable about them? Name Age Answer Greg   32 Nothing would change in that area because I already use public restrooms for diaper changes. Poopypants man   15 I just prefer to use my diaper Mike   15 I hate them so much! tommy   46 not clean, waiting in line james a   18 I personally avoid them unless i absolutly need to go and even then i will look for tha "cleanest" on that I can find. there are alot of people with germs and desieses that use public restrooms -i dont want thier yuck, i'd rather be a little yuck than alota yuck if ya get what i mean! Jerry Scott   46 I think Public restroom are very very germ and I would not give up my diaper for them. dean   -- I have no touble with public restrooms. I have changed myself in them all the time heavily diapered   14 they are nasty Jon   15 I am fine with public restrooms. I have often had my diaper changed in one. diaper boy   9 I don't know I've been wearing for as long as I can remember Unown   16 They stink, and should to be cleaned, like, every hour. Tom   23 I change my diaper in a stall The Nasty Blind Aspie   22 I am quite germ oriented, and I don't even like using the bathrooms in my dormitory, so public rest rooms are all that much more scary to me. You never know what people have done or what kind of nasty microbes could be found there. As I have stated before, diapers are far more practical and they allow me to control when and where I go.    29 Dont have any feelings aginst using them, juts have shy bladder sometimes while in them when others are present baby augumon   18 well all the germs, the horrid smell of person in the next stall, people not washing thier hands, etc. greysen   10 ewwwwwwwwwwwww. i even feel gross when i go in there just to get a diaper change with all the stds and the germs. poop on the seats and still in the toilet, pee on thefloor, throw up ewwwwwwwww ItsOnlyMe   35 No feelings, really. Though I'm urinary incontinent and have to wear diapers to control that, I'm not above using a public toilet when I need to take a poop. I prefer the one at home because I know whose ass has been on it and who cleans it, but I'm not going to crap my pants wating to get home because I'm afraid a public one is too dirty to use. Its common sense a cleaner crapper! What are/were your feelings about using school restrooms, whether or not you are or were a full-time diaper wearer? What things make or would make you uncomfortable about them? Name Age Answer Poopypants man   15 Prefer my diaper Mike   15 Those are even wrse than public ones Bob   13 There's no stall doors for the toilets. tommy   46 rushed between class, crowded james a   18 same as above b/c they are public restrooms too.

This only happens once every year or so. baby augumon   18 well little kids not flushing, washing thier hands and barging in on ya while your trying to go. greysen   10 HOME SCHOOLED Explain why you would or would not continue to wear diapers if you suddenly attained full control of your bladder and/or bowels: Name Age Answer Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)   14 Diapers, as we're much more secure, and comfortable in diapers Greg   32 Even after all these years of wearing diapers 24/7, I still like the sensation of wetting and pooping in my pants. I wouldn't give it up completely. Poopypants man   15 I would continue cause I like to Mike   15 I don't know wat I would do if I attined full bladder control. Bob   13 I'm not sure if I'd find boxers comfortable tommy   46 am used to them used to the feel and comfort james a   18 I used to wear diapers alot (12-17) but as i got older I guess you could say I "grew up". I am not a baby if that is what you think; just that I was potty trained early abt 2-3 and that i did it too quickly and so (psycology part here) according to dr. Freud dependeing on your experiance as a todler might have some kind of determining factor in your later life. my point is that i was some what trying to relive my early years in diapers and once i had made up for the lost time i lost interest, tho i still like the convience of the diaper. diaperkevin   34 I have a psychological need for them as well Jerry Scott   46 I love wearing diaper all the time. heavily diapered   14 i love them Bobby   11 I wouldn't wear them because I hate them. diaper boy   9 I would not know what to do Mundungus   30 I just can�t imagine myself without the comfort of a diaper. Unown   16 Because it's fun Tom   23 I would continue wearing diapers because I like the feel of the diaper between my legs and the security the diaper gives me. The Nasty Blind Aspie   22 They are the only means I possess for sexual release, and without them I would largely be relegated to sexless existence. That, in my opinion, isn't worth it. baby augumon   18 the chance of bieng caught, humiliated, and becoming anti-social for all eternity greysen   10 i love diapers ItsOnlyMe   35 I'm 35 and have spent more of my life in--either by necessity or choice--diapers than out. I missed them once I was finally potty-trained and wished I could go back; I've wound up back in them now and long for the choice. I think I'd continue wearing them even if I regained control of my bladder because I still remember how much I used to enjoy wearing them. The fact that I don't have the choice is what rubs some of the luster off. Its fun to strap on a diaper at night and hope you wake up wet right up until the first night you have to strap one on KNOWING you'll wake up wet. Having to wear diapers isn't nearly as enjoyable as it was chosing to wear them and wishing I had to. Describe any times you experienced life without diapers. How did you feel? How long did this last? What brought you back to wearing diapers again? What was it like going back to diapers? Name Age Answer Byron, Timothy, D.J., Kevin, & Marc (ages 12-17)   14 The thickness and the bulk between our lets, the given security, that was and is always there. Bob   13 I was diaper-free for most of my childhood. It was great. Having to wear diapers sucks ass. tommy   46 for a while in school, was ok but started having accidents was better to go back to diapers than getting laughed at james a   18 funny thing, it's right now for me. I really do miss the feeling that it gives. i don't know how long it is going to last but i know that i may go back and get some just to keep around when i get the feeling that i want them. when i put one on i like it, but then after i use it i become reallly disgusted with my self and i tend to not want them for a while. it is almost like a cycle: like-use-dislike-miss-like.... diaperkevin   34 I hated it. Jerry Scott   46 Wearing diaper is like being in heaven and without diaper I would be like been in hell because diaper are nice for a lot of reason. Bobby   11 It was great until I had to start wearing them again last year. iminpampers   36 I was 31 and was between jobs and as the money got tighter I found my self without enough money to buy myself more diapers. The first time I wet my pants I was just crossing the street to meet up with a friend so we could suntanning down at the beach. To make a long story short.. about halfway through the intersection I began to feel warm wetness on my crotch. I looked down in horror to see my tan shorts turning dark brown as they got flooded to beyond capacity leaving streams of urine flowing down the insides of my legs, making it perfectly obvious to anyone that I was peeing my pants. After that I didn't leave the house for 2 days but the worst part was, having aquired enough money to re-supply myself with diapers, wetting my pants in the checkout line with a package of diapers in my hand (the looks I got from the other customers and even the cashier). I have never felt so happy to put a diaper on as I did that day (I didn't even bother to cover it with shorts or pants when my friends came over later that afternoon (which worked out great because when I peed, with my diaper on full display, instead of being disgusted or laughing at my misfortune Sarah simply grabbed my supplies and changed my diaper in the middle of my living room. Mundungus   30 I where out of diapers from age 6 to age 16. It was okay. When I got injured and had to go back to diapers it was hard in the begining - but I quickly found out that I just love diapers! Unown   16 It felt great because there was nothing to hide, but it's a nearly impossible habit to break. I relapsed in about 2 weeks Tom   23 I've never been without a diaper except during changes or showers and baths. The Nasty Blind Aspie   22 My whole childhood was without diapers, except when I would be brave and stupid enough to steal them. My parents were very much against my use of diapers, which may have resulted largely from the fact that I stole the ones I used, but I was too afraid to get them any other way. Going to college was a huge relief for me, though it took me a year or two to get up the courage to even look up diaper related stuff, let alone buy them on line. Now life is so much better thanks to diapers.    29 started wearing sometimes for convenience, to not get up while watching a movie or sporting event baby augumon   18 i tried to quit. terrible, i couldnt stop thinking sbout em. the perfect opportunity to wear one with noone knowing. it was great i will never do it again, as long as i can get one. greysen   10 i barely remember, but i was potty trained for like a couple of monthes ItsOnlyMe   35 I'm 35, and with failed potty-training attempts (didn't know any better, so going back to diapers didn't bug me), diaper regression when my little sister was born (she was getting more attention, so one diaper change was more attention than using the potty chair), wetting the bed well into my teens (a wet diaper beats a wet bed any day), and now being incontinent due to a spinal cord injury, I've spent more of my life in diapers than I have out of them. The only time I haven't either been in diapers or wanted to be was between the ages of 7 and 11. Prior to then, I refused to be potty trained and was diapered until the school district said it wasn't the teacher's responsibility to keep changing my diaper, so if I wasn't potty-trained or a special-needs student, I couldn't stay in school. I chose control, and didn't think about diapers for several years. (I wonder, though, why learning to change my own diaper wasn't an option. . .or was it?) It started again when my family visited relatives when I was in the 5th grade. My little sister still wet the bed on occassion, so my parents decided to diaper her at night just in case. Once again, Diaper Changes=Extra Attention. Whether by accident or design, I began wetting the bed again. After suffering with a plastic matress cover for a year, waiting for me to outgrow it, my parents put me back in diapers at night for both our comfort. Stayed in them until my junior year in HS, when I got sick of being diapered, and regained control. I occasionally got nostalgiac and missed being diapered, but it would pass quickly, and I didn't wear a diaper again until a chunk of shrapnel shattered my sacrum and left me incontinent. This time, I wasn't too happy about going back to diapers because I knew it wasn't a choice, and I hate not having choices; but, having wanted to be here in the past probably makes it easier to have to wear diapers than it would be for someone who thinks, "only babies wear diapers." It is what it is, I guess, and it could be worse.
