Wearing diapers is not a completely natural thing in everyday society even though most of us truly want it to be. You have to truly get used to wearing diapers to be fully comfortable with it. I have been wearing diapers since I was a baby and even then it still took some getting use to as I went through the various phases in my life. When I was in the later stages of elementary school and kids started to develop a sense of “douchebaggery” (pardon my french) they would make fun of me if they discovered me wearing diapers but it was not a huge thing because obviously in elementary school, teachers are still very protective. So, that took some getting use to. Then, as I moved onto middle school and high school – things happened and you learn to deal with them. You adjust and you develop a thicker skin through each phase. I told myself all the time that this is what life has dealt me and many people had been dealt worse things in their life.
Developing Thick Skin
Being comfortable wearing diapers requires a bit of thick skin because wearing diapers at first requires some bravery and confidence in yourself. Naturally, at some point in your life someone is going to say something or make you feel uncomfortable. It is going to happen and if you just expect it then it may be easier to handle and you will be ready for it. Have an answer or comment prepared. But, over time you will develop thick skin to people that feel they need to judge you.
Have Confidence
Confidence is key when it comes to being comfortable wearing diapers and comfortable with yourself. After a while of wearing diapers for such an extended period of time – one becomes more and more comfortable with the idea of it. Confidence is a key factor in many things through out life but especially with things that are or appear to be a bit abnormal to the everyday things. If you don’t think its a big deal then others are less likely to think its a big deal.
Wear More
The more you wear diapers the more comfortable you will be actually wearing diapers…I know imagine that. But, its true – the more you wear diapers the more natural and comfortable you will become. You will notice yourself taking more and more risks and before long what use to be something of a big deal to you will be an everyday occurrence. The hardest part is taking that first step!
Wearing diapers is something that many people taking getting used to. Unless you have been the rare person that has worn diapers their entire life – it will take some getting use to and being more comfortable with yourself. Don’t judge yourself or think of yourself as a freak! Don’t! If it is something you truly enjoy and makes you “tick” then it is a good thing because it helps you and does not hurt anyone else. Just do what you love and don’t give yourself such a hard time over it. Becoming comfortable with wearing diapers takes a bit of time, experimenting and bravery – but I have faith in YOU. Take joy in knowing there are thousands if not millions of other adult babies and diaper lovers out there with you..
In retrospect, I don’t think I would have minded going through school in diapers. I’ve loved them since age ten, possibly much earlier, so it might not have been so bad for me. As far as ridicule is concerned, I pretty much got harassed non-stop going through school anyway, so I doubt much would have changed.
In fact, wearing diapers might have prevented two of the most embarrassing incidents I ever had to endure growing up. In fourth grade, I had a teacher who refused to let me use the restroom. My bladder then, as now, was weak, so wetting myself was inevitable. Both times this occurred, I had to walk in front of a classroom of giggling, snickering kids to tell that witch of a teacher I had to go home to change. (Fortunately I lived just one building over, but the trip was still miserable).
I know youth diapers existed in the early seventies (I’d stare at them in the Sears catalog for hours) so it’s not as if they weren’t available. They would have helped me get through that horrible year.
I didn’t either, I wore diapers a few weeks left of junior collage, and I just started wearing 3 or 4 weeks ago. I wear 24/7 and i’m just starting to get comfortable in them. I’ve been brave, been wearing under my clothes out and about. I’m proud of myself with diapers.
Or even if you only wear some times and not 24/7.
Going to school diapered was a challenge at first but overtime I got used to it, I remember one embarrassing moment in the fifth grade it was during recess I was sitting on a bench talking with two of my friends and me not being able to tell if I pee or poop let my diaper get so soaked I leaked and with jeans it was pretty noticeable to, luckily my friends noticed just in time and I quickly ran to the restroom to changed. And of course some kids saw my wet jeans as I ran inside but no one said anything when I came back outside.
I’ve never worn diapers to school when I was a boy or as a teen. Sometimes, though, I wish I had. It would’ve saved me from having to wait until class was over to rush to the restroom and then head to the next class.
im 64 been wearing cloth diapers for 64 years
I’d wear diapers 24/7 if I had someone to help diaper me.
Growing up incontinent in a tropical island (yes), I had to wear a very loose sundress as a school uniform. I wore shorts underneath to prevent upskirts and hide the bulge. This of course was uncomfortable. So i latter ditched that and accepted the barrage of laughter.
I had a simillar experience when I wad a child, As I spent the first 4-5 years of my life living with my pearents in the Cayman Islands.
I am 32 years old & male I have had a normal upbringing as a child and was potty trained at 1& ahalf in age back in 1982/1983 have worn nappies/diapers for over a year now when I started having problems with incontanance I use to wear normal clothing until I started having problems & was a little bit nervous about taking the step of returing to nappies but I am now not only wearing them 24/7 but with comfidance, so I do apprechiate what you are saying I have tried Tena Slip maxi’s, But they leaked alot from the sides so I was until recently wearing Drydayz/Cludlez nappies which were alot more absorbant but stopped useing them due to the cost as they cost a fortune to order on-line and now I wear boots stay dry slips which I can buy from boots they are more or less comfitable but are less absorbant so occasionally I have to double up & make sure they are sealed tightly so they don’t leak.
I don’t see myself as an adult baby but take the view that I have to wear them due to my disabilites/medical needs
so I am not one who chose this option likely as It was a big step but
Sorry about not completing my post I was interupted by a computer glitch
what I was going on to say was altough It was a big step but I feel comfitable in them.
I’ve never understood why the hang-up people have with wearing diapers. Whether it’s for need or choice, people should be allowed to wear diapers. Whether it’s for road trips or work, or for watching a movie, however healthy one is, physically, mentally, emotionally, or even psychologically, one should wear diapers.
I agree, if you want or have to wear diapers.
I’M NOT EMBARRASSED ABOUT WEARING DIAPERS, I JUST FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE – SCRATCHY AS IF I’M USING KOTEX EVERYDAY. I USE POWDER AND LOTIONS BUT THEY ARE STILL BOTHERSOME. I’VE BEEN WEARING THEM FOR 3 MONTHS. ARE YOU SAYING I’LL GET USED TO THEM? MLYN
I know the feeling. Some diapers I’ve worn I’ve found to be quite comfortable, while others are the most uncomfortable.
They can get uncomfortable sometimes it all depends on what kind of diapers you wear, I know they get really uncomfortable in extreme heat.
If you get scratchy and lotions aren’t helping try using desitin max strength. I have incontinence and get some rashes due to my warehouse work. Believe me it helps.
It helps out a lot, makes working in a restaurant kitchen more bearable.
well i dont think you will get used to ,them cloth are the best ones i use them all time ive been in diapers since i was here on earth gary coffey
yah i agree it depends on what diaper you wear i wear dry 24/7 diapers to work and abena m4s at home and put poise hour glass pads in side for added support and comfort and sprinkle baby powder in there and i stay dry for hours
i am in diapers 24/7 and people treat you like why u like diapers not like but need them i wear cloth mostly but the are real bulkey ther cooler thow and you dont have to change as much eather gary
I’d wear cloth diapers and plastic pants if I had someone to help pin them on me.
What I’ve never understood is why, once a child is potty trained and out of diapers, a parent expects that child to not have any accidents. From experience, I can say that it’s not possible to hold on indefinitely. However well aware one may be that he or she needs to pee, unless you’re near a toilet when you need to pee, you won’t be able to hold on and unless you’re wearing a diaper, you’re going to piss your pants. I’ve had that happen. It’s the same with when you need to poop. It doesn’t matter how old one is or how aware he or she may be of his need to poop. If you can’t be near a toilet when you need to go, you’re going to have an accident unless you’re wearing a diaper.
Hey Im there with you Jason.
Even if your potty trained its always good to wear a diaper.
If you can’t hold it in or be near a toilet no worries you got your diaper on.
🙂
I *totally* agree. I don’t know anyone who can hold on indefinitely before he/she’s able to make it to a toilet. I wore a diaper while I was working this afternoon. It was soaked by the time I was finished working out.
So you only wear diapers Jason? No underwear or anything else?
I wish I could only wear diapers. But no, I also wear underwear over my diaper. It keeps it against my body.
Oh I see.
Sometimes I don’t wear diapers because I like doing it in my dress to which feels good to me.
🙂
Have a fun time in Vegas. 🙂
Thanks Jason I appreciate it.
I will have a great time. I hope I win some money.
🙂 🙂 🙂
Cool! Does she know that you wear diapers? 🙂
Yup
My mom is totally cool with it when I wear diapers and all this weird stuff too. She still loves me and respects me
🙂
I’m glad to hear that. Have fun in Vegas, and Merry Christmas. 🙂
Thank You Jason
Merry Christmas to you too.
🙂
Thanks. I’m hittin’ the sack. TTYL. 🙂

Jason
I will leave this Friday to go to Las Vegas so I will not be able respond to any comments/posts such as you or Bryan until like the 2nd or the 3rd of January because thats when I will come back.
I only have a desktop computer which is why I can’t respond so sorry if I will be gone for like 2 weeks.
Im going to be diapered there so I can enjoy all the games and casinos without getting up to go to the restroom.
🙂
That’s what I’d do. Do you have friends or family who lives in Las Vegas? 🙂
No but my mom is coming with me too.
🙂
I am new to wearing adult diapers because of my incontinence Im still getting used to it.
I’ve been wearing diapers on and off since I was a boy. Partly because I still wet my pants, but also because I liked it. I liked being able to pee and to poo at will without having to hold until I make it to the toilet.
I agree it takes some tome to realize that diapers area way of life.
For me it started 13 years ago after prostate/bladder cancer surgery.
When the Cather was removed I put on a diaper. When I stood up pee started to flow.
It felt so wearied it continued like that for months. Bed time was constant leaking and not waking up. After 2 years of this I new that I would be in diapers 24/7 for the rest of my life.
I know that diapers are a part of my life and do enjoy them. ,
My dr told me I needed diapers. What are the most comfortable?
I really only wear diapers at night in bed, it just gives me a sense of relaxation and security.
I don’t need diapers for medical reasons, nor is there a “fetish” for diapers. For me, it’s simply convenience and security, a “just in case I can’t be near a toilet when I need to pee.”
Thank you so much for this blog and all your posts that you make for people that are incontinent, adult babies, diaper lovers or both and non adult babies and diaper lovers. I’ve felt so much acceptance and strength from your supportive words. I am in the process of accepting my love of diapers side. Thank you again for your wisdom and encouraging words Adrian.
I agree. I grew up being told that “diapers are for babies, and that if you want to “grow up”, you need to potty train and get rid of the diapers”. I’ve never understood why society places such expectations on children. I would think there’d be more to growing up than potty training. Even those who are toilet trained need to wear diapers. I can’t count how many times I’ve wished that I were wearing diapers, because I couldn’t be near a toilet when I desperately needed to pee, or sometimes poop. I don’t consider myself either an AB or a DL Nor do I have any kind medical problems that would require me to wear diapers. Before I heard about this website, I thought I had gone mad because I liked wearing diapers.
I try to fight it, yet the last time a part of me wanted to wear diapers I was 14. A few months back I had a dilemma where I was at a crossroads with myself. Now I’m split on whether to buy adult diapers. As it is, I was thinking about it and I’d wear them, and go to the bathroom like any adult would.
I feel conflicted inside, a part of me is saying you’re an adult don’t wear them. Another is saying”Do what you want, it’s your life, you aren’t hurting anyone”
Hi Adrian, I know its been quite some time since I last replied to this post back in 2015 at that time I was only 34 years of age, now reading this again is like a time capsule considering all the things that have changed in 5 years no pun’s intended.
I originally posted my replies under my old name and thas part of the good thing about having two famy names is you can choose which one to use, I now use Kwan Ming as its my chinese name.
Anyway the reason I am replying to this is simply to say since being re-diagnosed or confirmed as being partially incontinent in 2015 after my last check up is that wearing diapers/nappies has become more of a normal thing than it was when I became 30 in 2010.
Now amost 9-10 years since having my whole world turned litrally inside out I have come to terms with my medical condition or disability which was only recently acknowlaged by my doctors and being vindicated was no small victory of sorts,
However the fact is I have a permanantly un-developed bladder, and this is not helped any by having confirmed and now irriversable nurological damage to my lower body which was caused by my past eppilepsy for which I suffred from in 1992/1993.
Although not being wheelchair or bed bound and able to walk nd talk is a blessing as I could have ended up worse than I am nowerdays, Just one mirricle considering the potential later life severity of my disabilities which are not apparant from looking at me but are very real.
I also suffer from ptsd and other mental problems from years of being a victim of bullying and other reasons I wont go into fully as its to emotionally painful to write about.
My point being I am a survivor and although I will never be normal, whats that? I know that I have to be greatful that I am still alive to tell this story given I am sometimes suicidal but not to the point of serious danger to others that would have to rescue me.
Wearing diapers has changed my life for the better as I am more relaxed and comfortable although being like a toddler again took some serious time getting used to as per my earlier replies.
Yours sincerly
Kwan Ming.
My corrections:.I was 32 not 35, although my point is stll valid as I now wear diapers virtually 24/7 brcause of my medical conditions and because of psychogical reasons.
Just cause you wear diapers/nappies dosen’t mean your being a baby or are infirm as no one deserves to be humilliated or ashamed to wear them as pepole from all ages and differing abities wear them.
The important thing is to just be yourself and not to let anyone get you down as we all deserve to be treated right not bullied.
Yours sincerly
Kwan Ming.
I agree with you, Kwan Ming. I’ve been wearing diapers on and off since I was potty trained. At first it was out of curiosity. I wanted to see what it was like to wear diapers and use diapers. The more I continued wearing diapers, the more I realized that I loved wearing and using diapers.
As long as you’re comfortable wearing diapers and that you’re not ashamed that you have to wear.
I’ve been in diapers for over 20 years, I had a falling incident at the age of 49 years old. I have pelvic floor and permeant nerve damage. I had a very hard time with having to be in diapers for the first couple of years but in time I did adjust to it. I have no control over my bladder and sometimes lose of my bowel control, things got worse as the years have gone buy. I would have never dreamed I would have to wear diapers at the age of 49 years old. I wear the tape style diapers for me there easier to change without having to remove my shoes and slakes like you do with the pull ups. After the first couple of years with having to wear diapers I have become comfortable with being in diapers, I had to if I wanted any kind of a life.
When I become Incotinate it was a sudden thing, I had a falling incident and when I was in the hospital they put me in diapers. This was a big shock to me, here I am a 49 year old in diapers. Ended up I have pelvic floor and permeant nerve damage. I had a very hard time with having to adjust to having to be in diapers. I have no control over my bladder and sometimes lose of my bowel control. It took me a couple of years to feel comfortable with being in diapers. But I knew if I wanted any kind of a life this was the way it had to be. I’ve been in diapers for over 20 years, anymore it’s just a normal thing for me and I’m comfortable with having to wear diapers. Main thing was just finding what works and what’s comfortable to wear and get past the STIGMA of having to be in diapers.
