Diapers at home?

[majokko]

Hi,

I bought a pack of Depends about a year ago to try diapers out and I screwed up and bought the wrong size, so it wasn't really any fun at all -- I had to kind of fake it and hold them in place, so even though I've been able to wet in any position for a long time (weak bladder made it easy to learn) I couldn't walk around wet or anything like that.

I learned my lesson, but now it's been a while, I'm under some stress and I want to try again. The wrinkle is I'm living at home and I don't want my parents to find out... I got some good advice from members here last year, but I don't have it anymore... how do I conceal the smell? What's the best way to hide them, and dispose of them?

I haven't lived with my parents for quite a while now ... ok I'm not the youngest baby girl ever! *giggle* But I have worn diapers on and off for a long time now. About a year ago I decided to start being in diapers all the time (for wetting anyway), and I'm still doing it!

But anyway, here's my advice for what it's worth:

Diaper odors: If you drink a lot of liquids, your pee won't smell like much at all (but you'll need to go more often, of course!). Disposable diapers have chemicals that convert wetness into a gel, so they're not going to smell very bad until they've been wet for hours or longer. When they come off, wrap and tape them up tightly. There are little plastic bags you can buy that are meant to wrap used disposable diapers in individually. If you can find a place to keep anybody from accidentally running across used diapers, you should be fine, as long as you don't forget they're there.

Hiding them: Well there's always a chance of somebody finding your stuff as long as you're living with your parents. But the way I did it, anyway, was by trial and error -- getting caught and then finding a better hiding place. (My dad thought I was trying to control my bedwetting problem, which was a real problem at the time, but he disapproved of using diapers because he didn't think they'd really solve the problem. When he found them, he just explained how he didn't think they were a good idea, and I got rid of them ... then I waited a while and got more. I don't think he ever figured out that I liked them.) Anyway, the thing to do would be to observe where your family members go in the house over the course of a week and what they do. What closets/drawers/cabinets are opened, and which ones are untouched? This is probably pretty obvious advice though. The point is to think about places that nobody else thinks about. Under the bed is a popular choice, if it's hard enough to see down there. There is also sometimes a little bit of space underneath the bottom drawer of a dresser.

Disposing of them: Well the best way to dispose of them without anybody else knowing is by being the one who takes out the trash. If you're not already the one who does this, I doubt anybody would complain if you volunteered. Then nobody will notice that this trashbag seems a little heavy.

Anyway, this may be stuff you already know, but I hope I'm helping! Good luck!
