Changing Schedules and Proper Hygiene

In the beginning stages of diaper training, you’re probably used to changing whenever your diaper gets soggy. You probably do this to save money and make each diaper count. Isn’t it awesome feeling soggy? Feeling that sense of accomplishment from filling your diaper all the way?

You have to stop trying to get the most value out of each diaper. Diapers are here to be used and to take care of your needs. Because of this, changing on a schedule is a fantastic idea to not only incentivize you to drink enough to fully saturate your diaper before you change, it’ll also ensure that you maintain your skin and genital health. Try setting a changing schedule no more than 6 hours apart during the day. If you have a job where you work in an office, start changing your diaper on your lunch break no matter what and then again once you get home, even if you’re dry.

A potential changing schedule could look something like this. Change it to your needs and schedule as needed:

  • Wake up, shower, then change into diaper 1 for work.
  • Change into diaper 2 at lunch.
  • When you get home, shower, then change into diaper 3.
  • Train heavily in the evening and then change into diaper 4 to continue training.
  • Change into diaper 5 for bedwetting when you go to bed.

By putting yourself on a changing schedule, not only do you keep your skin and genitals healthy, you also keep yourself from smelling. I’ve always recommended wiping your diaper area down with baby wipes in between every change for exactly this reason and to help clean your skin of any bacteria or other contaminants. Sweat, heat, urine, and friction all combine to potentially cause infections and rashes, so the more actions you take to prevent these nasty things, the longer you can stay diapered and the faster your training can happen.

In order to maintain high skin and genital health, I’ve also always recommended to get rid of the hair in your diaper area. This includes anywhere your diaper touches. I don’t recommend shaving because it can easily cut or nick your skin, leaving openings for bacteria and other nasty material to get inside your open wound. What I recommend is finding a bikini line trimmer and to gently use that to keep your diaper area neat. You don’t need to completely rid yourself of body hair down there, but you absolutely need to trim it down as short as it can go. Ridding yourself of body hair in this manner also helps you stay smelling fresh because hair holds onto liquids like sweat and pee. When body hair holds onto your sweat and pee, the chances of rashes start going up the longer you wear the same diaper, too.

You should find a diaper that you’re able to use up most of the way by the time your scheduled change rolls around. This may be a diaper that’s around 3k or 4k mls rather than the thicker options. There’s no point in wearing a diaper that has a lot of absorbency left if it starts to hurt you, right? Some people like to stay in diapers past when they should have changed because they want to get their money’s worth out of it, potentially damaging their skin and genital health because they wouldn’t want to waste a perfectly good diaper. It’s just safer to change yourself.

Furthermore, wearing a diaper that’s about to leak will make your bladder’s muscles clamp down because your body is afraid of leaks. Have you ever experienced this? You probably already have many times before. It’s the same feeling of being in bed with a full bladder; you know you aren’t supposed to wet in bed without a diaper so your bladder kept itself held shut on its own. Finding that perfect diaper for your needs is part of the journey, but the journey is what makes all of this fun.

Lastly, introduce cranberry juice into your diet. It helps maintain bladder health and it has a nice side effect of making you pee more. Drinking more than one glass will make you need to poop, though, so be careful!

The Basics of Diaper Training

1: Throw away all of your underwear (but keep your bras if you’re a lady!). This leaves you nothing but diapers to wear as underwear, and as we all know, wearing nothing down there can lead to some irritation. Not good for princess parts! Throwing away all of your undies ensures that you’ll have to wear diapers, and nothing but diapers. If you want to truly commit to this, then do that, or if you’re on the fence about it and want to try it out, stash all of your undies in a backpack or something that you can lock or put a lock on, then give that key to your bestie and have them not give it back until a week, two weeks, a month, or however long you feel like! 1a. Buy a large supply of diapers. I chose to go with the Abena M4 for starters, and have kept with it all the way through. For when you start dribbling (see below!), you can switch to a thinner diaper, like the cloth backed Abena M2. For lighter days, I’ve found that tena makes some decent diapers, same with Tranquility/Select...

Getting Used to Wearing Diapers to Work

As part of your diaper training journey, if you work an in person job, you’ll inevitably have to wear diapers to work. Naturally, there are some jobs that will keep you from wearing diapers. If you work any kind of job that saves people’s lives in a first responder type of role, I beg you to wait until you find a job where you don’t have to run around a lot. Being dependent on diapers as a police officer isn’t going to help anyone. This article is for those who work more sedentary type jobs. Select a diaper that is discreet, comfortable, and provides the appropriate level of absorbency for your needs. Look for brands that offer a slim profile and designs that resemble regular underwear to help you feel more at ease at the start. Ease into wearing diapers at work by gradually increasing the duration of time you wear them. The way I recommend is to wear clothes that will adequately hide your diapers. Go to work wearing adaptive underwear; Aerie makes a pair of panties with bra clasps on ...

How to Accept Yourself as a Bedwetter

Reconciling bedwetting with yourself can be challenging, but here are a few suggestions to help you adapt to your new normal as a bedwetter. Identify as a bedwetter at the start of your training. That means you would have to wear diapers to bed every single night. If you spent a lot of time training today/last week/last month, surely you wouldn’t feel too confident about your level of control at night. Bedwetting is more common than you might think, affecting people of all ages. Recognize that it is a physiological issue and not a reflection of personal failure or inadequacy. Remember, bedwetting is good for you and will help make you become dependent on diapers faster. Accepting the need for adult diapers or other protective measures can provide reassurance and help manage bedwetting effectively. Modern adult diapers and protective bedding options are designed to be discreet, comfortable, and highly absorbent, ensuring you can sleep comfortably and minimize any potential discomfort or...
