I wonder if a child is drawn to diapers after they see a baby being changed. I think it would be at about 5 to 8 years old that this could happen. This about the time all bed wetting is over except a few accidents here and there. It may be that of the forbidden fruit or a desire to be babied again because they feel left out or expected that they should be adults even though they still babies. They are given adult responsibilities but are left out of adult conversations and such. Maybe it is our couture of today’s fast pace. Maybe it is due that diapers have become larger for children and adults. Not to long ago the big boy on the block was Depends something new for larger people. As a side note this was about the same time that the MS was kicking in causing loss of bodily control. The first Depends had a barrier that was plastic that on inspection was a funnel to let the urine through to the fluff. At that time there wasn’t much absorbent material so they were not very good,(still they stink).
Todays diapers are tons better then that of before and I think they are improving all the time for IC and ABDl’s.
The circumstances of people’s early upbringing vary greatly, but I still firmly believe the mechanism that creates diaper desires in people is more natural than psychological in the way “psychological” is commonly understood today. No matter what a person’s early experiences were, a psychological explanation can be invented to tie those experiences to the lifelong diaper desires some people have. This is the main reason I lost faith in psychological theories about these kinds of strong, socially unacceptable attractions, and started looking for a more solid explanation.
i’ve been in diaps all my life but i think the reason i never did the excises to improve my weak bladder and bowels was maybe because i always felt i was more a baby then a kid my age, this was from ages 4-7
Not me. I wanted back in diapers as soon as I got out of them. I was always a bit jealous of other babies getting changed or toddle-waddling around in a disposable diaper…I spent over 11 years of intense yearning to get back in Pampers…and it felt so good getting back in, despite that conditioned guilt for doing it. I didn’t need to wear diapers but I loved and missed them badly. Not anymore! :smiling_face_with_3_hearts:
I remember watching my mom change my brother (I was about 4) and watching her change my little cousin (I was 10) but I don’t recall feeling anything other than dispassionate curiosity. My attraction to diapers was already a part of my mental makeup at that point, but I didn’t regard watching my mom change a diaper as any sort of exotic experience. Whatever triggered my infantilism, watching my mom change a baby wasn’t part of it.
My desire to wear diapers is directly linked to a lifelong (I’m 75) pee fetish. If it involves pee, I probably like it. Anyway, a bit over 3 years ago I had that once every 10 - 15 years bed wetting incident. We had just purchased all new bedding and luckily there was no damage whatsoever. But, seizing the moment I told my wife I would not risk damaging our new bedding and would start wearing diapers to bed from that point on. Within 2 weeks I faked a stress ic incident so I could start wearing 24/7 without objection. She now knows I love to pee in them, too. The only connection to my childhood is the fact I was intrigued by pee for as long back as I can remember. I know I was giving myself golden showers in the bathtub before age 10. I probably started around age 5 or 6; but, don’t recall specifically. When we would go to a lake on vacation, I well recall always wanting to be in the water and secretly peeing as much, and as often, as I could.
I am sure that can partly add to the reason for this desire in some people. I remember being at the babysitters house and my peers all being diapered babies and they were treated better, and their mommies would pick them up and carry them home. I wanted to be picked up like that.
I think your better half may be on to your subterfuge after reading your post! Stay padded, especially if your wife thinks you doing it for her and your new mattress.
Watching other children being diapered only made me envious of the plastic pants that they were wearing over their cloth diapers, which were about all that was available back then. For some reason I’ve had an obsession with them as far back as I can remember (age 2, maybe 3). My diaper desires didn’t become a factor until about 5 years ago when incontinence made them a near necessity. Stay padded, you never know who may be watching!
I don’t know if that’s what made me want to wear diapers again (honestly, I’m not sure I know the reason why) but I do know that as a kid when I saw a child (especially an older child, like 2.5-3+ years old) being changed I found it hard to look away and I didn’t know why! This was before I knew there were other people out there like me too, and as a kid, it was confusing to me. All I knew is I wanted so badly to be that child having their diaper changed, to be laying on a changing table or a bench or whatever.
I remember being jealous of older kids in nappies when I was a kid myself, especially if they were of a similar age to me.
It was most potent on continental European (usually Mediterranean) holidays when I remember on more than one occasion seeing some huge kids who looked my age (both girls and boys) playing poolside in nothing but huge white plastic disposable nappies.
I remember being transfixed and almost burning up with jealousy.
It was something like this that started off the whole DL thing for me when I was about 4 1/2 - seeing a health leaflet or advert of some sort featuring a girl who I thought looked about my age who was wearing what I initially thought was a large pair of white knickers which, upon closer inspection, I noticed, had tabs and were in fact a nappy. Something just went “ping” in my brain and I suddenly had an intense desire to wear a nappy too.
