For those of you who have little bladder control when wearing diapers when awake (you couldn’t stop yourself from wetting at the slightest urge or you may not even be aware that you wet your diaper) or when asleep (you wet your diaper without waking up), what did you do to reach that point and how long did it take? This is intended primarily for people who do not have any medical issue affecting their urinary continence, but still wet their diapers involuntarily.
I wear 24/7 since around 5 years and it kinda got “automated”, so sometimes I check my diaper and I’m surprised it’s wet, because I can’t really remember that I used it. But I guess that’s because the process of urge → wet got into muscle memory and I just don’t remember because I wasn’t actively thinking about it. It’s not that I can’t control it or anything, but I just don’t remember every time I use my diaper. It’s like driving a car and trying to remember when you shifted the gears. You just do it automatically. But that doesn’t mean I lost control over it.
Bedwetting is a different topic, I noticed a few years ago that I started bedwetting again. I made a whole series on Tumblr where I analyzed if it really happens and if yes, when. I got a bedwetting alarm and tracked with it’s app, when I was wetting at night.
The initial event was that I fell asleep after a party. I got home, showered and then jumped on my bed without putting a diaper on and woke up in a big puddle.
So I got a bit concerned and got this alarm and checked when it happens and it turned out that I was wetting around every second day, most of the times 2-4h after falling asleep. It seems to depend on how much I drink before sleeping.
But I’d guess, based on reports from others, that it’s not normal and wouldn’t happen to everyone. But I have an extremely deep sleep, so I usually never woke up due to urge before, as a kid I just wetted the bed and later I just woke up with a hurting bladder in the morning. But needing to pee is apparently nothing that wakes me up during the night.
It is interesting that you wet your diaper automatically and without thinking about it, but you haven’t lost bladder control. I would think that your body would eventually stop trying to hold it if you consistently wet at the slightest urge. Do you think that if you tried, you would be able to spend a full day in diapers without wetting your diaper?
For me, I wear diapers 24/7. All day long. Every single day. And it’s permanent. No going back. I’ve slipped into them so many times. Countless changes over the years. Now, if I wet my diaper or mess it, that surprises me. It feels off somehow. Like, wait, that just happened? But here’s the thing. I’m that used to diapers. They blend right in with my routine. I grab one in the morning. Tape it on tight. Head out the door. No second thoughts. Sleep in them at night. Work in them. Run errands in them. They stay put. No leaks, no fuss. My body just does its thing inside. I barely notice. Don’t dwell on it. It’s just life now. Normal as breathing.
