I Got New Wipes!

Wipes are the only diaper accessory I’ve ever bought, and they’ve been worth it. Believe it or not, though, I’ve only ever bought wipes 3 times!

The first time I bought wipes, I got baby wipes from Walgreens. They were cheap and high-quality, but I can’t remember the brand name or anything. The second time I bought wipes, it was on Amazon, after much internal debate about which ones to get. In retrospect, despite all my deliberation, I was probably too inexperienced with wipes to buy online; the ones I got were bad.

I remember some of the reasons I got them. They were from a brand I’d heard of, they were marketed for adults, they seemed reasonably-priced, and they came in a large enough quantity (a box of 8 packs) that they would count toward free shipping and mean I wouldn’t have to buy more for a while.

But, oh, the frustration they caused me. They were significantly smaller than the baby wipes I’d gotten before (BABY wipes, yes, BABY wipes were larger than these), they constantly ripped when I was taking them out of the pack or—worse—during use, they were difficult to wipe with, they were significantly less comfortable than my previous wipes, and the pack wouldn’t stay open when I needed it to.

Working through so many packs of them, I began to wonder if I’d only imagined the positive experience I’d had with my first wipes.

Diaper Journal: 7/11/18

In Diaper Journal posts, I write about my day with a focus on what you might call the “diaper side” of my life.

I ended up not changing out of my Prevail before bed last night, for no reason in particular. This morning, when I woke up, I sat on the edge of my bed and flooded it. I was a bit surprised that I didn’t leak at all.

I kept it on as I started my morning routine, then squatted to poop about fifteen minutes later. I changed into a new Prevail after that. I’d had the old one on for just under 24 hours before I changed it!

Side note: I now only have 1 wipe left! I really need to get to the store to buy another pack soon.

Diaper Journal: 7/10/18

In Diaper Journal posts, I write about my day with a focus on what you might call the “diaper side” of my life.

I’ll make this one quick, since I need to go to bed soon.

Last night, I put on a MoliCare before bed. I peed in it a medium-ish amount right after I put it on. Then, at 4 AM, one of my dogs woke me up needing to go outside. When I was out with him, I peed about the same amount as I did the first time. When I woke up to get ready for work at 8 AM, I went out with my dogs and peed a medium-ish amount for a third time. I also pooped a bit at that time, while squatting in my yard.

When I got back to my room, I took off my pajamas and saw in my mirror that the MoliCare was super soaked and saggy. I changed into a Prevail before going to work.

Would an Average Person See Past the Surface of a Diaper?

When I see an adult diaper with a blue wetness indicator strip or a sag or something else of that nature, my mind immediately goes to the fact that its wearer has peed in it, and that’s what I focus on.

Yet, the other day, when I saw a kid with a visibly-wet diaper, the fact that the kid must have peed in it was in the far back of my mind. So, that got me wondering if non-ABDL minds would have a similar reaction to an adult wearing a wet diaper. I think they would.

Diapers and Sexuality

I know I haven’t explicitly stated this on my blog yet, so let me go ahead and be clear: There is a sexual component to my love of diapers.

When I was in the midst of puberty, the sexual component to my love of diapers was huge and dominant. However, it is actually very small at this time in my life.

Just because it’s small doesn’t mean it should be swept under the rug, though. We (those of us who have one) shouldn’t hide or deny the sexual component to our love of diapers just because it might make it easier for others, even others in the ABDL or incontinence community, to accept us. The fact that the sexual component isn’t all there is, and for lots of us is small, should be good enough to get acceptance. The truth should be good enough.

Plus, think about this. Would you want to come out to someone as a diaper lover but still hide or deny some of your feelings about diapers? That would hurt; you would still have a secret burning inside your chest. And if they accepted every other part of your love of diapers, chances are they would accept the sexual part, too.

Diaper Journal: 7/7/18

In Diaper Journal posts, I write about my day with a focus on what you might call the “diaper side” of my life.

Last night, I put on a MoliCare for bed. As is my new usual, I didn’t wear anything over the diaper. I peed in it a medium-ish amount before falling asleep.

This morning, I woke up having to pee pretty badly. I tried to go in the position I woke up in, thinking my urgency would help, but it didn’t. It’s probably for the best, since peeing in that position probably would have caused a leak. I ended up sitting on the edge of my bed to pee. I trust the MoliCare enough to do that (instead of picking up my butt to pee, which I do with some lower-quality diapers to avoid leaks). I peed a large-ish amount, then lay back down for about an hour before getting up.

An Upcoming Opportunity to Order Diapers

A few days ago, I found out that I’m going to have another opportunity to order diapers online soon. I immediately knew I wanted to get another pack or two of Prevail Airs, but I also wondered if I should go ahead and try one of the more premium diapers I haven’t tried yet. (I had been planning to wait until the fall semester starts to try any.)

During a slow time at work yesterday, I saw someone wearing a small, one-strap backpack that got me wondering if I could find one like it that would fit diapers. If I could, I could use it instead of a drawstring bag to carry my diapers around at school. I saw some advantages to this, so I looked on Amazon to try to find one.

I found one that looks like it will fit most diapers and looks really nice, so I’m probably going to buy it soon. After I found it, I decided to look at the premium diapers Amazon has, in preparation for my upcoming order. Before looking, I was inclined toward ConfiDry 24/7s. They seem super premium and I’ve been wanting to try them for a while.

Diaper Journal: 7/6/18

This is the fourth post in my new Diaper Journal series. Please let me know in the comments section if you do or don’t like this type of content so I know if I should keep this series going!

This morning, I woke up a bit earlier than when I’d set my alarm to go off because my entire family was already awake and getting ready to leave (for things I had no idea about until this morning).

Since I needed to get up soon anyway to get ready for work, I went ahead and got up and took my dogs out. I wasn’t wearing a diaper because (for various reasons) I never put one on after my shower last night.

Despite not having to pee very much or very urgently after waking up the past few days, I had to pee really bad this morning. Since my family was up and moving around a lot, I couldn’t bring myself to pee outside when I was out with the dogs. Instead, I bolted for the toilet as soon as I got in. It felt a little weird going in a toilet, since I barely use toilets anymore.
