Mike, I never meant to disparage any incontinent person for any reason. I was just saying that I can't believe the fetish crowd is anything more than a tiny number compared to the true number of incontinent people. If an incontinent person finds a way, anyway, to make their life happier...go for it. It's just that many here seem to believe that the abdl crowd seems to adversely affect the rest of incontinent people. I never heard of them before I became incontinent. But I did know people were forced to wear diapers because of many conditions. Too much time is spent on an issue that deserves little or no attention. Papa

Oh, I understand, and what I said, was pretty much my feeling on it.
However, I do agree that they have helped get some improvements to some supplies, and as someone that knows adults that are also mentally children, due to severe mental handicaps, even the print diapers they have gotten made for adults have been a hit with the true child adults and their caregivers.

Take for point, a 26 year old with severe autism, and total incontinence, his mother found the prints in a design he likes, and it makes changes and taking care of his incontinence a lot easier for her, as instead of fighting at changing time, he is eager to get a new design. As much as they can get to be a pain, with their fetish, I admit that they have been a help in some regards. But, as you said, not as much as some people make it seem like.

Out of people that buy incontinence supplies, I'd put the AB/DL group at maybe 25%, and that is being generous.

I use there REAZ inspire.

Cant really praise it enough. Expensive but you get what you pay for.

Being connected with the AB/DL doesn’t really bother me a diaper is a diaper is a diaper. Whatever turns you on I guess, long as no one is hurt. Plus a friend of mine who is incontinent too does the AB stuff, don’t really get it to be honest. But if that is how she cops with her condition? Well who am I to judge more power to her.

Edit : Opps sorry if it was bump. Just seearched to see if anyone else was useing then company and posted. Didnt mean to necro a old post

Don't worry about it, I do it on occasion too and nobody has voted me off the island!

As for the comment about snoring and pacifiers, I have found some studies suggesting this may work, though I am not a medical expert by any means. It is listed as one of many venues to deal with it that may or may not work for you. And some of them look more like medical contraptions than what I remember my sons having a few years ago. And for the record, my snoring has me sleeping on the couch and I've been tested for sleep apnea. If it works, I'll gargle tobacco sauce. Anyway, just take it for what its worth. I haven't tried the pacifier approach, but I am attending a sleep study group with the VA this coming week so we will see.

When my son was born, we were researching pacifier use. I ran across that info about pacifiers curing apnea as well. Turns out the German company NUK (under Playtex in the USA) makes orthodontic pacifiers up to adult sizes.

Re the absorption of the RearZ Inspire diaper, I just looked it up and it claims a total capacity of 4.9 - 5 liters (169 oz.)! Wow. If those figures are reliable, that is as much as a ConfiDry Dry 24/7 plus a sizable booster pad. Too expensive for me in the U.S., but I can see why it would be attractive for Canadians who can get it at a lower price.

The claimed capacity of the Rearz products is basically true. However, the diaper swells to such a huge size and becomes so heavy as it gets wetter that it becomes unwieldy, uncomfortable and grotesquely incapable of being concealed. The Dry 24/7 is a much more practical product.

JD, the current exchange rate is quite favorable. .69:1

Well you wouldnt wear it to full capacity

I wear it at night or on very long car journys.


I triend the Dry 24/7. Didnt fit me very well.

I'll have to add that to my might try list! Well, as long as the exchange rate is good!
