I was once asked if I “enjoyed” wearing diapers in a PM. I have been incontinent most of my life. I don’t have the luxury of choice. I try REAL HARD to normalize diapers in my life, else I get depressed.

10. I can’t think of anything else to ask. What else would you like to add?
In my profession, I travel a lot. For years it was 75%, WFH the rest. Now, like everyone else I'm stuck at home and our dogs love it.
