One thing that has been a frequent thought of mine is switching to diapers 24/7. I think Goodnites or some pull up diaper because I still want to use the potty but just like the feeling of the padding. I feel like I’ve attempted it a few times but always get worried and never get past a few days
So I’m questioning if it’s worth it and how to get to the point where I’m just wearing 24/7. I feel like after enough time it would just become normal. I’m not sure if working up to it by doing what I can in wearing for a few days at a time or if I just need to commit and go in a moment from having an underwear drawer to a diaper drawer.
I’ve been 24/7 for a bit over a decade. It’s been worth it for me. I can’t tell you whether it will be worth it for you; it’s an entirely personal thing. I think all things are worth trying.
I can see that you’ve already considered this but I’ll say it anyway: whether GoodNites and/or pull-ups will be right for you will depend on how you define 24/7, because that will determine what you mean to use them for. If you wanted to use your diapers for everything, I recommend using tape-on diapers rather than pull-ups of any kind, because pull-ups won’t perform well enough; I would honestly recommend this even if you wanted to use them for all your wetting, but I know others disagree on this topic. Since you want to use the potty and want to wear diapers mostly for the feel, I would say that pull-ups are probably fine. I would still not recommend GoodNites because as they are designed for a younger demographic they’re not really built for anything other than very light duty on an adult; by “very light” I mean “I don’t know if they would stand up even under the stresses of just being worn, not even used”.
Getting worried is normal, because you’re doing something which is stigmatised. For me, I kept doing it even though I was worried, and became less worried over time.
You suggested it might become normal over time. That was my experience. I was one of those people who always wanted to go 24/7 before I did. Since doing so, and getting really accustomed to it, one thing I’ve noticed is how much less I think about what’s under my pants than I did before, even when I was wearing underwear and had no plans to go 24/7. I feel like, if anything, diapers put me in the place that most people are normally in when they’re wearing underwear.
Some guides to 24/7 recommend a running start, from all underwear to all diapers. I don’t personally believe this. I believe it’s okay to work your way up; I did. The important thing is just to never go backward.
I mostly say Goodnites because that seems to be what I can find that I most like. Most the adult pull on diapers I can find out there I don’t like how low the padding stops. I feel like pull up style works best for me because of work. I can’t quite figure out the logistics of how I’d do a work day in a tape diaper. Also, I suck at tape diapers and find I don’t like how loose they tend to feel.
These are words of wisdom and understanding. I’m beginning my own preference to wearing all the time. I’ve only been wearing for 8 months now. I’m of an age to sometimes feel more comfortable wearing, and I really do like the feeling on my skin.
I still take a day or 2 off, I guess it’s to satisfy my mind more than anything else. I’m to me, at a point that I am much more comfortable with a diaper on than not.
I only thought of saying something about my diaper feelings, to possibly show that you are not alone. Well probably put everyone asleep so to the comfort, security, and just plain enjoyment of the diaper.
For me, I feel going full 24/7 would be unnecessarily restricting on my overall life. I’m often busy with work, have to travel both locally and to other countries and attend meetings with clients and suppliers. I also enjoy holidays, days out and socialising with family, friends and neighbours.
However, I wear diapers to bed regularly, occasionally during the day at home and every so often, such as this weekend, I wear full time for a few days. For me, I feel that I need to actually use my diapers, so during my long weekends the potty is ‘out of bounds’ and it’s a strictly ‘no toilet’ regime.
In your case though, if intend to just wear lightweight diapers or pull-ups without using it’s a different scenario and in this instance you are just wearing them as alternative underwear, so other than costs and additional garbage I don’t see a problem.
I have started trying for 24/7. I think logistics is where I’m most scared. Right now I’m thinking I’ll do a thing where I get rid of 1 pair of underwear a day. I am feeling tempted to just throw all the underwear out at once so I have no choice but diapers. I remember doing that when I came out as trans and switched to panties. I think there’s also a bit of acceptance I need to work on to feel like diapers are now my normal. I feel like seeing them prominently when I open my dresser to get dressed will help.
I’m at the end of day 1. I think for doing this I just have to tell myself “okay, I wear diapers now” and not go back on it. I think there will be some days that it is hard early on
If your really wanting to do it, you’ll have to wet anytime you feel the urge, even if you think your going to leak because eventually you’ll start going and not realize it. I went diapered 24/7 after about 3 months I lost that special feeling and stopped wearing as much and could not hold my bladder to save my life and would have accidents without padding. It was around April when I tried going back to normal and i still have extreme urges and barley pee when I get to the toilet. Just something to keep in mind
I would say it is definitely a personal thing that is worth trying out.
However, full time constantly using them I would say tape on diapers are better.
If you want pull ups then get adult ones rather than goodnights unless you are super small (and inside the published weight limit).
The truth for me comes with how much you will get to the potty. If mostly your go potty then pull ups are better and use them like underwear. If you want to just go and wet mostly then you may as well wear tape ons and get on with it.
Also remember pull ups are easy to take off and rip open the sides but much harder to put on over shoes/shorts/pants.
Yeah, after a day and a half I don’t think Goodnites are going to be feasible for my main go-to. I bought some Depends to try out. I think Goodnites are better in the padding department but I was having some sag after too long of wear. I just wish stores had better options in the adult department. I’ve heard Tena are good but nowhere around here seems to carry them
Most definitely with time it will be almost 2nd nature to wear 24/7 when I did for my OAB I took to it very easy and the strange thing was I didn’t have a diaper fetish I just started so I wouldn’t pee my panties and wearing was such a relief and been loving them ever since
I’m tactically defensive, it has to feel good. So being in a dieddy has been quite positive. I feel safe, everything is in the right place, people who matter got over it. My wife encouraged me to 24/7, because there’s nothing wrong with it. I’ve been full time for over a year, after years of complications. I was told by a professional I’m not hurting anyone and as long as I was able to enjoy life. He also said finding a spouse might be hard. Well my wife is a little too.
I love the feel of diapers and will wear them as much as possible!
For anyone is thinking about getting some goodnights, just for the padding and that feel, I would say go for it, I have been for a while now during the days I do not get diapied (I do not know how long it has been), and it is unnoticed to all but my partner. (Only cuz they know anyway)
As far as more noticeable diapers most will think you are incontinent, and most are respectful in not being a jerk, for the most part don’t give them a reason to care and they won’t.
I’ve been doing this 24/7 concept ever since I finally gave up with the dribbles and stress IC. Seriously frightening. And the store-bought stuff is more than horrid. The fear that I can’t stop is enough to make a simple choice. :ROFLMAO:
so to the comfort, security, and just plain enjoyment of the diaper.
