>Do you wear 24/7, if so, how long?
I have been 24/7 for about 6 months, but last 2 years it was 18/7 for the past 2 years. before that I had a stint where I was 24/7 for 1.5 years too. In total I've had bouts over 5+ years
>What got you interested in 24/7, and more generally ABDL? Do you consider yourself leaning towards AB or DL especially?
85% DL, but I do have some tendencies toward the AB side. I have some cute pieces from japan
>Do you want to untrain? How will you/have you done so?
I WFH so I fill my 18oz reusable bottle about every 2 hours. Ideally, I'd like to have urge incontinence so I could theoretically wear pull ups when I need to see family, and wear diapers around my SO/daily life.
>Who knows you wear 24/7?
Just my SO
>If you untrained, do you honestly regret it? How has your mood about it progressed since you started?
For me, it has been an absolute blessing (~35% progress), my SO has been very supportive and I have all the necessary supplies to make it more long term/viable. There's a lot more to it to make it viable than you think. Daytime, I subconsciously urinate every 15-30minutes about 100-400ml each time. I do not have any nighttime incontinence, even with drinking 18oz of water every night. I just wake up, pee then go back to sleep.
Some general tips as a long term 24/7 wearer that emphasizes value haven't had a true leak in months:
>Consider funding an FSA with your employer. Incontinence supplies can be bought with your pre-taxed income. This year due to tariffs I bought ~$2.8K in incontinence supplies. You do not need a Medical Letter of Necessity, you can simply order and upload the receipts. That includes diapers, wipes, cloth, boosters, skincare etc. Basically everything below can be included.
>The best plastic pants hands down are made with PUL (Gary or LeakMaster). They are machine washable, dryer safe. I've used these for >8years.
>For best value, LLMedico has the best prices for incontinences supplies. Best cost for diapers and boosters are BetterDry plus Seni Booster Pads. Always buy cases. WCLM10 for 10% off, you can also do autoship for 15% off your first shipment and 10% every shipment thereafter. I also stock MegaMax if I have to wear for >18hrs. But most times BetterDry+seni will last for ~12hours. They also give 5% cash back on EVERY order, they also have Crinklz if that fancies you.
>At night time, consider cloth diapers on top of disposable to 100% prevent leaks. Any disposable diaper can leak, especially for side sleepers. I use a LeakMaster Adult Pullon Cloth Diapers in XL (31" waist) and a L-XL PUL plastic pants. This is 1000x more comfortable than sleeping on a night pad that can cause night sweats. If you're a back sleeper, no issues. Side sleeper, put a pillow between your legs.
> When traveling in Car/plane, instead of normal PUL pants alone, I also add a L/XL LeakMaster Adult Pullon All-In-One Cloth Diapers since it can act as a PUL Pant + extra absorbency in the event of leaks
>If you travel/fly a lot like myself, get TSA Precheck, you won't get the full body scanner and instead go through a typical metal scanner. The chance of being pulled aside is <20% vs >85%. If you do get pulled aside, be transparent that you are wearing an adult diaper and you'll get a pat down. You can request to be patted down in a private room
>In terms of # of Cloth diaper pull ups of the above options, I recommend at least 3, but up to 5-7 is ideal for daily use. Double check the sizing guide on AdultClothDiaper.com so you don't buy too small of a size. I am a L/XL in the above with a 31" waist + typical disposable diaper setup
>I personally do not mess, instead I optimized my diet with high fiber by incorporating lots of vegetables. This allows me 1 BM between diaper changes in the AM. Invest in a bidet to fully clear your bowels.
>Newer fashion trends are pro diaper, trendy professional and every day fits are relaxed fits, baggy, or oversized both bottoms and tops. Baggy Denim, Carhart pants, Uniqlo Barrel Jeans, Chubbies are all designed with a wide/elastic waist and extra butt space. Generally speaking, invest in a tailor to keep you looking fresh. The Uniqlo Airism suits in black and navy can perfectly hide a Diaper+booster+PUL pants perfectly, and they will hem them to length for free too.
>To mitigate diaper rash, in the shower, wash your butt+genitals with a 10% benzyl peroxide wash daily (Walmart has it very cheap). Afterwards, use a very thin layer of petrolatum on your body, a high amount of petrolatum/Zinc Oxide will disintegrate your diaper's adhesive, reduce absorbency, and cause leaks.
>Invest in a XL disposable diaper pail. The disposable bags can also have scents to reduce smell.
>Invest in a couple all white onesies when leaving your home
Overall, my daily diaper life looks like:
>7AM: Remove night time Diaper + Booster + Cloth Pullup + PUL Pants, BM + Bidet, Shower + shave + Benzyl Peroxide followed by petrolatum. Change into BetterDry + Seni Booster (I keep it folded in half to maximize absorbency) +/- cloth diaper pull up + PUL Pants. Continue drinking 18oz water every 1-2 hours
>6PM: Diaper change, use disposable wipes to clean, change into BetterDry or MegaMax + SeniBooster +cloth diaper pull up + PUL Pants Continue drinking 18oz water every 1-2 hours.
>Repeat (every 3-5 days do cloth diaper + PUL Pants laundry)
>For purposes where diapers are not appropriate, I wear the new XXL GoodNites + Uniqlo Airism underwear, these are a godsend
