The biggest thing was not wanting to accept that I needed to wear protection.

It has been just over 5 years that I have had to wear a diaper. I do not let it bother me, as I live a full and active life. My wife of almost 50 years (December 2017) accepts me without reservations.

It's been just under three years that I've had to wear some form of protection. Even though I've completely accepted that fact I can't say that I'm thrilled that I have to wear diapers. However I am thrilled that there are so many excellent products out there to help me "contain" my incontinence. To be honest I really don't even think about my diapers most of the time but I sure do appreciate what they do for me 24/7 !

Since 2008 for me. I too have grown accustomed to wearing diapers I guess. I've become used to it and don't give it much thought anymore. Wearing diapers is just something I do. It bothered me at first but I guess somewhere along the line I chose to move on and not let it bother me anymore.

I never had proper continenece my whole life
I guess I never went through the stress of suddenly becoming Incontinent but it was and it is difficult to manage both bladder and bowel incontinence especially when there's zero controls
