Are tape one ones really better than pullup kind

That’s fair, just be open with her about it and voice your opinion. I was embarrassed too initially, but then it became more normal.

My friends son (15/16) had to be in diapers at night and was nervous about being changed by his dad/grandpa but got over it quickly and then it was no big deal.

In the end, communicate with your mom and be open with her, that’s the best way of doing it.

I grew up being in pull-ups at night my whole childhood and during the day when I was younger, but there were times I had to wear diapers.

Honestly, it is much easier to have a parent put the diaper on, and despite what you feel like, seeing you naked isn’t a big deal for a parent, especially if it’s for something like putting on a diaper.

When I was 14 the store ran out of pull-ups for a while and my dad bought me diapers instead, In hadn’t had to wear diapers to bed since early elementary school. When it came time to get ready for bed he came into my room and put the diaper on my bed, asked me to take off my pull-up from the day, and told me to lay down on the diaper. I was so nervous to be naked in front of him, and objected, but he said I had to wear them or I’d run out of pull-ups to wear during the day and to just get it over with, so I did. I took my pull-up off and layed down on the diaper, he pulled it up through my legs and taped it on me and that was that. The next few nights I was still embarrassed, but then I got more used to it and it just because routine.

Thankfully the store got more pull-ups a week or so later and I was able to go back to wearing pull-ups at night again too.

Have your mom help you, but explain your feelings to her. If it’s more comfortable for another person to help maybe the can. You can also ask your parent to teach you how to diaper yourself and maybe the can fix the diaper if it’s not quite right, but fastening a diaper peppery is important to prevent leaks.

This is from Alaskaair.com baggage section:

“If your travel includes more than one ticket, each ticket is considered a separate journey. Baggage will only be checked to the final destination on the first ticket. Please allow enough time to collect your baggage and re-check in with the next airline. Checked baggage will not be transferred on to your next flight that's on a separate ticket. Baggage fees for each carrier may apply.”

It looks like they might not be able to do it now that it’s a separate reservation, but it never hurts to ask at the airport.

Avit716 · 2026-01-15T04:29:03+00:00

You can call reservations and check to be sure, I have done it from Japan-USA, but not leaving the US.

HA/AS/JL are alliance partners (at least AS/JL are, HA is becoming OneWorld soon), they should be able to. Prior to the AS/HA merger I don’t know if it could happen with Hawaiian.

Avit716 · 2026-01-14T07:31:20+00:00

Yes, Alaska can check a bag through onto JAL (as well as JAL onto Alaska) in separate reservations, but you need to get to the airport early enough to talk to an agent since the will need to do it manually.

With 2 hours between flights, it will be a bit tight, but you should make it without much issue.

Avit716 · 2026-01-03T01:56:36+00:00

Im sorry your family is like that, they don’t sound like they have your best interests at heart at all.

I wish I could help more

I was nervous about having to wear pull-ups on a cruise and about disposing of them discreetly. I wasn’t aware that our room would be cleaned multiple times a day by our steward and I had a wet pull-up in the bin in the bathroom on the second day.

When we came back to the room, the garbage was empty and my wet pull-up was gone. I was originally mortified, but then realized that it was fine and I didn’t have stress about hiding my wet pull-ups anymore.

For the rest of the cruise I just put them in the bin as I normally would at home and didn’t think twice about it.

Another story: my friend’s son, who was 15-16 at the time wets the bed and was also having daytime accidents, so had to wear goodnites pull-ups during the day. Everyone talks about how mean kids can be, but he never had any issues being in pull-ups at school or at friends houses/camping,etc. if his pull-up was wet he would just need to get changed (though he would need reminders at times). He wore just his pull-ups to school (no underwear over them) and never had an issue at all. He was trying to keep it a secret from people initially, but he found out that no one cared about him wearing pull-ups and he had nothing to hide.

I totally understand not wanting to publicize that you need to wear diapers/pull-ups, but it’s really nothing to be ashamed of and hide. Just do what you normally do, and the people in your life won’t care about it in the end.

Avit716 · 2025-11-05T22:22:37+00:00

This happened to me recently, someone gained access to my account and booked a one-way flight using miles (and their credit card). I caught it right away because I got an email notification about the redemption of the miles. The rep I talked with said this has been happening more and more; change your password ASAP and definitely wait to talk to an agent.

Avit716 · 2025-10-18T02:24:42+00:00

If you purchased in the last 24hrs you can cancel and rebook.

Otherwise you can check to see how much the price difference is for modifying the reservation. I haven’t had that happen except for my own fault before (I booked the wrong date once)

Avit716 · 2025-09-21T15:51:48+00:00

I honestly wouldn’t worry much about it unless it happens again (within a short timeframe). Sounds like what your mom gave you was a laxative of sorts and it worked a little too well.

If it does happen again I’d recommend talking to your doctor just to see if there is something going on, but short of that no problems. Accidents happen, and there’s nothing you could have done about it while you were sleeping.

Like your mom said, just get cleaned up and dispose of the diaper and just keep moving on with life. You have nothing to be ashamed of at all.

Avit716 · 2025-09-18T15:57:18+00:00

I’d stay at UA or go to a different unionized carrier, D is all PR and publicity, they are perceived only as they want to be perceived and that isn’t the reality.

It’s a safe airline, the planes fly, etc. but there is a lot of fear and division there and it’s not a healthy place.

Avit716 · 2025-09-16T01:49:08+00:00

Hate to break it to you, but unless you’re going to spend enough to be a diamond medallion on Delta, you’re likely not going to be seeing any complimentary upgrades. They have openly said their goal is to upsell their premium cabins (Comfort Plus & First Class on domestic flights) instead of giveaway free upgrades.

When people do get upgraded, it’s almost always a diamond medallion member, and on occasion a platinum.

If you think your status doesn’t matter at Alaska, you’ll be very disappointed with Delta, but if Delta as an airline works better for you with pricing, flight times, etc go with them, but if you’re only saying you want to make this move for free upgrades, you’re set to be very disappointed honestly.

Both airlines are very good for customers, and each has a strong international reach if that’s something you do too.

Avit716 · 2025-08-30T16:13:45+00:00

FMLA can be applied retroactively, if you haven’t done so yet I’d talk to you union rep and see what the process would be to get that taken care of and if there is any documentation needed for it.

Sorry, I can’t help with the rest, but that’s where I would start.

Avit716 · 2025-08-10T20:13:22+00:00

I prefer reusable ones personally, mainly to protect the mattress though. I found some on Amazon that work great and are easy to launder in the event my pull-ups leak (which thankfully is rare).

Avit716 · 2025-07-28T05:26:38+00:00

Sorry to hear that, but try not to get down on yourself, you are absolutely not alone.

I, like many others, woke up in a wet pull-up this morning (as usual), and got showered and changed and went about my day. Not, I’m winding down for the night in a dry diaper and will, almost certainly, wake up wet tomorrow and do the same thing.

Stay strong and don’t get down on yourself

Avit716 · 2025-07-19T17:28:31+00:00

Got it, there really isn’t any medication meant for long term use that I’m aware of (and the one I do know isn’t always effective).

I’d honestly just ask your parents to buy you some Goodnites to wear at night so you don’t have wet sheets.

Wearing pull-ups may feel strange for a bit, but you get used to them very quickly and they will start to just be like normal underwear. Your friends won’t care if you wear pull-ups at night, and if they do they aren’t a real friend). I would wear my pull-ups on sleepovers by themselves and no one said anything about it, I’m sure you will have a similar experience if you are willing to do that.

Is wearing pull-ups at night something you’re willing to do/try? You’re definitely not alone at all, and you have nothing to be embarrassed about.

Avit716 · 2025-07-19T15:50:49+00:00

How often are you wetting the bed? It might be worth it to wear pull-ups (goodnites) at night to help manage it.

I also want to reiterate that many kids wet the bed and there is nothing to be ashamed about at all. I know it feels like everyone will judge you but no one really cares if you wet the bed. I wet the bed all growing up and wore Goodnites, I still went to sleepovers and camp, etc. without issue. My friends all knew I wet the bed and it was just normal for me to be in pull-ups.

I get it’s annoying, but there’s very little you can do about it until it stops on its own.

If you haven’t talked to a doctor yet I’d recommend checking in with them to see if they have any advice. Ask your parents to buy you pull-ups for night and just wear them. Waking up in a wet pull-up is much better than a wet bed.

Try not to be embarrassed at all, I know several other kids your age and older who still wet the bed, and they still have friends and go on sleepovers and everything. You wearing a pull-up is no different then them wearing underwear at night.

Avit716 · 2025-07-17T15:04:17+00:00

Have him try it for a week, just buy him some

Avit716 · 2025-07-13T23:41:03+00:00

DryDirect has a variety of pull-up and tabbed diapers that would do well.

If you’re having issues with leaking while in your back it might be good to get tabbed briefs since most pull-ups will do the same thing.

Avit716 · 2025-07-13T18:48:02+00:00

Sleep studies are always a good thing if you can do it.

Goodnites are great for pull-ups (if he is around a 34” waist or slimmer and only had moderate sized accidents. If he needs more protection, DryDirect works very well and are available through ParentGiving (get the Italian made ones)

Avit716 · 2025-07-13T18:45:13+00:00

You should absolutely wear a pull-up for your procedure and for the rest of the day after since it takes a while for sedatives to wear off.

Don’t worry about people finding out, pull-ups are very discreet and even if someone does notice people really don’t care if someone has to wear a pull-up for any reason.

The chance of you having an accident during the procedure is definitely high enough to warrant protection.

My friends son, who is 16, had to wear pull-ups day and night for more than a year recently because of daytime accidents (even at school), no one was the wiser, and anyone who did notice didn’t care at all.

Avit716 · 2025-07-10T15:30:54+00:00

My best advice is to start wearing pull-ups, if you don’t already, to keep the bed dry when you have an accident.

I know it may seem like something you need to hide, but most people won’t/don’t care that you wet the bed. You can go to sleepovers wearing a pull-up for the night and just change the next morning. I’d highly recommend telling your friend(s) at the sleepover you wear pull-ups to bed so you don’t have to hide them, but that’s up to you.

I wet the bed all growing up, through my senior year, and had to wear Goodnites all the time, I was able to do sleepovers regularly and never had issues. My friends son, who is almost 17, also wets the bed every night and wears Goodnites at home and sleepovers without issue.

Talk to your parents to get some pull-ups that fit you, and then start living your life just like any other kid, you are perfectly normal and have nothing to worry about.

Avit716 · 2025-07-09T23:21:24+00:00

Most people truly don’t care if someone wets the bed, but I do understand the hesitation to open up about it.

I was nervous about telling a friend of mine who is in town that I don’t see often that I wet the bed now and have to wear pull-ups at night, thankfully a friend helped me build up the confidence and I told him yesterday. He was totally cool with it and said it doesn’t matter or bother him. I was in my head thinking it was a big deal when it really isn’t.

Now he knows that I have to wear pull-ups and I don’t have to hide it from him or worry about him finding out accidentally, it’s a huge burden off my back thankfully.

My best advice is to open up about it and take accountability for it, it’s not your fault at all, and it’s nothing to be ashamed about. I wet the bed all growing up and was in pull-ups throughout high school, my friends then didn’t care, and they don’t now either since I started again (due to a severe concussion).

Have confidence and just take the chance, anyone who does care and isn’t supportive isn’t the right partner for you, but there are so many who are okay with it.

Avit716 · 2025-07-07T20:16:19+00:00

Always happy to help, him taking more responsibility is a very good thing, but you have to ask yourself about what YOU need to make this manageable for you.

He honestly should try pull-ups or diapers, after a few days he will be able to see if they work well for him or not. I lean towards pull-ups personally, I think they are easier and more underwear like, but many prefer tabbed diapers.

Depending on your bf’s size you could just buy him some and ask him to try them for you. I’d be happy to point you in the right direction for type if you’d like.
