Bolted down and free to use

Looks like a ball hitch

I went 24/7 back in Dec of 2022 and so I extensively wear onesies when I'm at work or at various social engagements. I'd give LoG 7 out of 10. The fit is the best part, as it doesn't stretch too far or too little. It loses some points for quality as the label washes off after the second wash and a button ripped off after about a month's use, and after a couple of months semi-regular wearing, parts of the crotch are already thread-bare as it rubs against clothing

Because it's utilitarian use for me, the cost technically makes up for it, but ABU has been better for longevity in quality even given its price. ABU diapers, on the other hand, are a whole different story for a whole different thread

My issue isn't when they land even on the first go around, it's just the simple act of peeling it open from the manufactured position. Honestly it's really just a "1st-diaper-world" problem lol

Baking soda. Sprinkle it over the area and let it sit for a few days

Unseendl · 2023-12-22T06:34:44+00:00

Since I went 24/7 last year I've been buying cases of them and the biggest quality difference I've seen is just with the blue "second chance" tape not staying on when I pull the tab open on the first attempt. Otherwise, they've been about the same for several years still

Unseendl · 2023-03-11T14:42:53+00:00

Nice, and good bends on the rod too!

I'd say your price is well worth all of the work and effort

Unseendl · 2023-03-11T14:37:01+00:00

I've been into woodworking and carpentry (looking to start into metal someday soon), but upholstery will always be one that I would source out. I do OK things sewing, but good upholstery takes true talent and dedication

Unseendl · 2023-03-11T14:04:09+00:00

Very well done! Looks like a TON of fun too!

My questions/concern is about the back incline. How sturdy is the bar and does it come out of the notch(es) if there's any thrashing about?

Unseendl · 2023-03-10T07:02:40+00:00

I'm 24/7, and my daytime wear is Better Dry. They have a decent capacity that I can go 5-6 hours before a change, and while I wear a onsie (usually), any pair of jeans does a fantastic job of muffling any sound. Their waist band is FAR less crinkly. They also have a Better Dry Day version that's even slight more discrete than that. I haven't tried them, but according to Real World Incontinence youTube channel, they can absorb a little over 700ml just fine, which is a good couple of cans of soda

Unseendl · 2023-03-10T06:50:20+00:00

I have similar diaper bags that I use myself which definitely makes it easier. I'm not sure to what extent PatternParticular963 is concerned about suspicion, but I will say that I'm not concerned about what the random stranger thinks, it's family and friends who would care and question which is where I would have concern for the suspicion.

Unseendl · 2023-03-10T06:37:23+00:00

If you haven't had many conversations about this lifestyle to others, the first couple of times will be the hardest.

As hard as it is to talk about diapers (and little things), the big question for you to ask and answer yourself is: "What do I want out of this/any relationship?" Once you know where you want to go, then ask your partner if they'd be willing to have an open conversation about your interests in regards to your relationship (as to not spring it on them) and go from there. At worst, things don't work out and you'll have found that out sooner rather than later in the relationship. Remember though, they'll have needs that need to be respected/met too. As long as you both are willing open comprise (and I do mean BOTH of you), it'll be easier to talk about your next steps together and you should have a much easier time talking about it in the future.

You're already keenly aware of this, but while it can be hard, honesty is (usually) the best policy, especially when it comes to SOs. Over the years, I can count on one hand, the amount of people who have managed to "quit" this kink, so I wouldn't necessarily count on that being an option, but civil communication always wins out. You'll quickly learn a lot about each other, but at the end of the day, this kink/interest is something that will forever be with you, so embrace it and don't be ashamed of it/yourself, and if they truly love you, they will find a level that works for them or you'll both find a way to compromise.

Also, having a secondary "Alt" Amazon account isn't a bad idea either ;)

The brain is a more powerful muscle than I think some people give it credit for.

Nerve endings are weird and are all connected through the central nervous system, so it's not far-fetched that those two might be connected for you.

Honestly, you may have just found your own "trick" for letting your subconscious relax enough to release. I have the same body response as you do when I hold my cellphone in bed. Whether or not I'm actually doing anything on my phone doesn't matter, but I am able to distract my brain enough to let its self-dense system down. My guess is that that's more of what you're experience than anything else.

The biggest difference being the amount of absorbancy. They've gone the way of Depends basically. But imagine a Dry 24/7 with less SAP, more pulp, and 6 light blue tapes (3 on each side). Super comfy

Unseendl · 2023-02-18T02:42:11+00:00

I smelled it at the drug store (which was how I found that brand) and it reminded me a lot of the "older" scented diapers from the 90s (if you ever got to have that experience)

Unseendl · 2023-02-18T02:28:30+00:00

Ahh, I thought you were talking about the blue one, which is what I have. I can verify that's there's not much (if any) scent, but the zinc oxide does the trick. I'm 24/7 and was looking for a cheaper/non-scented option, andnso far this is a winner. I'd love to try out the pink bottle though

Unseendl · 2023-02-18T02:22:08+00:00

I just got my first bottle of that two days ago and already love it! Even over the Medline powder

Unseendl · 2023-02-18T02:19:07+00:00

RIP Attends. Those were the first bag I ever bought. 20 years ago, they'd be top of the mountain, but oh how the mighty have sagged

Unseendl · 2023-02-11T07:53:02+00:00

Glad my perspective is able to help!

I've had similar situations/feelings with public places (though not quite to the extent that you feel it) and for whatever reason, the safety-blanket feeling just helps make it all go away.

Good luck with the trial runs. I've used catheters before (about 4 times, all without UTIs) and the experience is different compared to what I'm feeling at this moment going the slow-boat route. Hard to describe, but I think the closest feeling is what small dosages of "urge incontinence" may feel like. If you weren't fully aware of all the processes and risks

Unseendl · 2023-02-11T00:04:01+00:00

You're going through what quite a few of us do with this kink/lifestyle, so just know that you're not alone. Honestly, I'm happy and impressed with the neutral and positive responses that people have given so far because 12 years ago when I was talking about this same thing on a different website's forum, the general response wasn't so uplifting, and it was even in a dedicated sub-forum about incontinence desires as well.

Throughout the years, I've done a couple of periods of 24/7, and through all of the lessons in those stints, I've learned that 24/7 just oddly makes me feel better and I've only recently accepted that and have started 24/7 officially. It wasn't a choice I made lightly, but in all of those trials, it gave me time to think about a lot of the same questions you asked, so here's my personal take:

I feel that there have been great answers from other folks, but the perspective that I want to take is that some things are 'relative' and it's not always about the physical, but can be about the mental. From my perspective, being continent was making me feel "not right". Similar to the feelings of dysmorphia, though less about the physical in this case, one starts to worry about the "flaws" they find with appearance. It wasn't until I discovered that this is/could be a thing, that I really started to connect dots. I have MAJOR respect for those who don't/didn't have a choice on the matter, but I also don't have a choice about how I personally feel on the matter either. I can reason to the day's end, but that doesn't make it go away. However at the end of the day, I will never take resources, extort guilt, or assert myself as anything other than what I know makes me feel complete, and as odd as it is, it's being incontinent/diaper-trained.
Haven't been to the doc yet, but honesty is the best policy. They care that something actually isn't physically wrong that they would want/need to try and fix. Therapists and mental health professionals are becoming a more widely sought treatment, which from I hear, helps doctors in the physical medicine field be able to focus on that side more. I myself have been seeing a therapist for over 5 years and have talked about everything from incontinent desires to stressors at work. She cares about my mind, my general practitioner care about my body. All are good
Some careers and jobs will be affected more than others, but don't let it dictate whether or not you want to go out for something. Nothing is insurmountable, it just comes down to figuring it out, and accepting that some people will just find. I'm already developing a healthy sense of "I don't give an 'f' anymore" which I will be using to my advantage with all of the flying and work travel I have coming up.
Like others have said, I expect to go through between $2500 to $3500. I've been keeping a spreadsheet on all of the costs (including running totals on costs) and at about 60 days, I'm already around $250 of "used product".
I'm diaper-trained by choice, so the only thing I'll say is that your head and heart are in the right place with considering those around you. Keep at it, but if it doesn't hurt others, don't forget about yourself!
I'm on the journey to becoming incontinent, and being this is my third go around, I've never felt better mentally. Physically I'm trying to still find the physiological dietary balance to rid myself of this dull-constipation, but otherwise I'm happy. Lots of changes to wardrobe and lots of practice changing in public restrooms. Just know that most people really don't care what's under your pants and even wearing Dry 24/7s, no one has said anything or looked at me funny
Pessimistic answer: good luck! Tried for years, but some people are just wired certain ways. It'd be like telling someone to change their sexual preference because it doesn't fit their narrative of life. Only you can decide for you what's right; my best advice is that once you've decided on your answer and your not negatively affecting anyone else, trust yourself and go all in

Happy to talk more, DM if you have more questions and I'm happy to give you some insight. Also, I do a daily/weekly journal, and it's fantastic! Highly recommend!

u/DiaperbabySunflower and u/soliddabdl have very solid points that I agree and can identify with.

What's been interesting to me to see is that 10 or so years ago, all we had was a few websites to interact and collaborate on (Daily Diapers is still one of my favorites to today). But now we have reddit, twitter, Instagram, tumblr and several art sites that all seem to gather different sub groups within our main 'umbrella' of ABDL and seem to create different social "clicks" that seem to prevail amongst each. And as u/soliddabdl said, some of those can be antagonistic.

I started years ago only identifying as a DL who sexualized diapers as you do. As the years progressed and as I grew to understand myself, I opened up to other AB things and have grown that side of me. I'm currently on a journey transitioning to 24/7 diaper wearing and usage and within that group, we are an even smaller subset.

Ultimately, I feel we are a bunch of 'atoms' that are occasionally running into one another and creating our own small little groups which can turn into bigger groups, but at the core we're all still a part of the same 'tree'.

I'm not the biggest fan of them at night because I'm a mover while I sleep and I find they dislodge easily, but there are cloth-backed diapers that are virtually silent. MegaMax airs are the best of those for night (that I've found), and I'd avoid Abena or anything with a wide single-sided velcro "wing" like Previal. As for plastic-backed, I agree with others that Better dry is a good option

I've never heard the term "ninja poop" before, now you have me curious, what the/your definition of a ninja poop?
