A lot has changed in the two years and a lot of changing has been done in the past two years. I didn’t think it possible. I’ve been diapered for as long as I’ve worked as a Light Vehicle Mechanic. Somewhat active and strenuous. You don’t need a desk job to be 24/7.

While it’s not diapers only (I usually use the toilet first thing in the morning, especially if it is a #2) But over the course of seven-hundred-and-thirty days I would hazard a guess that I’ve been in diapers for seven hundred days (accounting for times spent without, usually to let my skin heal/dry/breathe). Probably the best part is that I haven’t been back in real underwear for the whole time. That’s right - It’s been either diapers, a diaper cover or nothing. It’s great.

The biggest change I’ve noticed is my own ‘training’. I’ve always had impeccable, and annoyingly infallible toilet training. I remember back when I first started wearing diapers. I could not wet unless I really needed to go. Even then, I would need to calm my breathing, stand stock still and then only get like a quarter of my bladder out. Every time was an event that I needed to reason through in order to achieve the result that I want. Nowadays I can pee sitting down, standing, laying down, walking. There’s still a very real signal getting sent in order to do these things, I found that laying down and driving currently are the hardest to do, but I plan to train through that. It’s not really an anti to potty training, but more ‘diaper training’. I’ve gotten so much more comfortable just going which has made when I do use an ABDL diaper so much better.

Now there are some things that I do want to try, but can’t really at this time. I do want to have ‘wet nights’. I’ve not been a bedwetter when it would’ve been advantagous to, as I already knew at that point I liked diapers and so I probably would’ve tangented off of that to be a fulltime diaper-wearer. Maybe I couldn’t’ve due to having a lot of brothers. But I never had the opportunity anyway. Speaking of anyway, and tangents, I’ve never been a bedwetter but would like to be able to relieve myself in the night just so I don’t have to in the morning, but I would like to ‘go back’ if I was to do that, And I just don’t trust that’s possible, so I haven’t really looked into it.

Another change I’ve seen is the one of my attitude toward diapers. Every day I put one on. If I’m going out, I put one on. If I’m staying in, I put one on. If it’s wet, I change it. Gives me the freedom to mess if I really want to, too. But it’s not just that. Going 24/7 has meant that I also have these times where I do need to do something, but I need to also juggle my wearing. Even If I’m late for work, I need to put one on. If I need to go somewhere, but I’m very wet, I need to change before going. It’s become something that I do need to manage, but it’s good. I do like this/it’s manageable.

I found a reasonable compromise between all the things I need out of a 24/7 diaper – the price, absorbency, discreetness, the ability to ‘pull-down’ so to speak and durability are all things that I’ve had to take into consideration. Price is a big factor – especially in the early days. Supply was another issue, but were both sorted pretty well. Absorbency was a big consideration. I didn’t want something that was going to leak through in one wetting, but wasn’t going to cost a lot (padding discretion wasn’t a priority). For discretion, it was mainly making sure they were silent. That was it. The ability to pull down was major, as I didn’t want to ruin the diaper untaping then re-taping. Due to them being cloth-backed, I can untape them if I need to just after putting them on (I can’t once my body heat melts the adhesive on the tape, though). Durability is a bit of a tougher one. Whenever I’m at work, My body usually causes a separation of the waterproof layer on the right side of the garment at the rear where the tape wing and absorbent body meet. In the early days, toward the end of the day I had some of the absorbent material fall down in my pants – Luckily I don’t really use them at work. I’ve rectified the issue with a diaper cover, but it’s not ideal.
