Still in nappies.

[Guest]

This is turning into one of them chicken and egg situations so i'm orf.

Chicken.

I'll take my chances with the evil spirits rather than live my life stinking of stale urine, thanks.

While you can't define "normal", you can define "majority" and "maladjusted" and "healthy" and "clothes with a faint odour of pee".

This is from another thread (6 year old toddler - are we the only ones?). Thought it might make eye-opening reading for all those people who like to keep their kids smelling of urine.

"I am 38 years old and i still wet bed but not very often thank goodness. When i was a child i lived in a children's institution and i started wetting the bed from about 8 years old. the nurses at this institution thought the best way to handle my problem was to put me in nappies at night. The only problem with this method was that they were not addressing the issues that was causing my bed wetting. At the time i was a very traumatized child mentally and physically and this was the reason for my bed wetting which should have been addressed. And because they put me into nappies i have suffered for it ever since it. has done a lot of harm to me.

"Parents i urge you if you cant find any thing medically wrong with your child then i suggest you find out what is going on in there personal life either at school or at home or anywhere.

"A lot things happen when i was a child that no child should ever have to go through and i have been hurt."

Hi I am a 56 year old male who wears nappies 24/7 and have done for three years.
At first it was only from time to time but three years ago I made the decision to wear them all the time and I do so with pride I love my nappies and will never stop wearing them.
weirdo you might think to your self, but there are plenty of people about like me I am speaking from the heart now to try and help you with what you think is a problem with your kids.
The problem lies with you if they like wearing nappies then let them do so because like me you will never stop them and if you do you will cause them harm because if you are made that way you have to do it I started to wear nappies at fifteen and have done so since and as I say for the past three years have worn them 24/7.
If they are like me and they are not aloud to wear them you will cause them so much mental problems that the result may be worse than the nappies belive me.
I have been married three times the first two could not accept it and the matrriage broke down but the third does not mind and we are happily married and have been for thirteen year.
I have been totally honest with you please please think hard on your treatment of this situation.
The only thing I will say is that I am now dependent on nappies as I have lost control of my bladder after wearing them for three years.
Many thanks for reading my message.
When dd any one wearing a nappy ever affect anyone else.
call me AB/DL what ever you like but I am telling you how it affects a person once it is there it is so hard to stop and you might end up distroying the person that you love.

I mean it this message comes from my heart.

I have read some of the replys left after mine (above) to add to it I did at one stage see a shrink and a psychologist who both said that they might be able to help me, but it was douptful if they could cure me they both said that if that was how I felt and I wanted to wear nappies then do it. as they could not garuntee any cure and if I felt happy in nappies then do it.
Perhaps I should be taking anti nappie pills.
This may seem strange but it is true.
After all do you think that a psychologist could make a gay person straight I don't think they would stand a chance DO YOU.
There are other persons on here that feel the same as me ask them if they think they could be cured of it.
You take an alcoholic you can not cure him you might get him dry but he will always be an alcohloic no matter what.
I do not bother any one with my nappie wearing and it is not illegal I am only posting here because I read a posting about a child that wants to wear nappies I would not have normally botherd you all with my posts but I thought that I could help the parent of this child with my experiences of life.
I am sorry if I disturb any of you ladys with my messages they are not ment to do that and I have spoken from the bottom of my heart.
I will not post here again unless anyone wants to know more.
Ladys I bid you fairwell.
Steve

Do you not htink putting nappies on heer is encouraging her to wee the bed?

I stopped letting my son wear bedtime pants about a month before christmas (his 5th birthday) and since then he has wet the bed once. Where as when he had them on he would do it every night. He has even started realising he needs the toilet if he is asleep, and wakes up.

My daughter has just turned 7 but still needs nappies very badly at night or when outside the house. Unfortunately the standard babysize 24'' x 24'' terry towelling nappies no longer fits her properly so i've had to but the next size up of 36'' x 36'' and they're quite expensive as they're considered as being for teenagers/adults. Ive has the buy quite a lot as she uses 2 each time plus one to act as a soaker. Ive got to say these larger ones are better quality, they have the same 'baby' softness but are thicker equivalent to 2 mothercare nappies. I bought mines from Drylife.

Why can't Mothercare produce larger terry nappies for kids say ages up to 10 as some kids still need them like my daughter.

[doctor00]

I have a second cousin who i have recently been seeing this year and she is 10 years old. when im around there house visiting she all ways acts like a baby. for example im sitting down then she comes and sits on me, then gets a dummy/ baby drinking bottle lays doen on me and asks for me to give her drink so she starts to drink it from the bottle. when i babysite she keeps asking as well if she can wear a nappy. i took some nappys in and allowed her to wear them just like a baby, she ended up pooing in her nappy whilst sitting on me, so i had to change her nappy. the thing is her parents dont know that she does this. and everytime i go visit her parents it jsut feels like im hiding something, something that her parents dont know which is true but this is making me feel really uncomftable. oh and another example when it comes to getting something to eat she asks me to feed her too. which is a little embarissing for me, elsecially in frount of her mum.

im thinking that children that want to ware nappys is for attention, or for security i.e having a nappy wrapped around their bum is kinda a security blanket or a teddie. or maybe she just does it because she likes the attention and fuss babys get when changing their nappys, im not too sure. just wondering if anybody else has come across this before?

My 6 year old girl still has trouble keeping the bed dry at night and still dribbles 2 or 3 times a week. We resorted to using two teenage (older child) size towelling nappies for absorbency and comfort. Ever since we began putting her back in nappies, her wetting got worse until the whole nappy was soaking wet in the morning and she's even asked to be changed into dry nappies to wear during the day. She told us that she's a baby and she likes wearing her nappies.

[antiperv!]

All these posts seem to be from AB/DL's.
Live and let live,but they have their own sites,so why come inventing and posting their fantasies here???

[Diaperman]

Dear sir/Madam call me what you want I have not come here to invent I posted here to give others an out look of what happened to me from the tender age of about six I can remember wanting to wear nappies and it was still there in the back of my head until I was fifteen when I went and bought some and it has gone on from there I am telling you the truth so I felt that I should tell others who have kids that that it is not a faise that the child is going through if they are anything like me it will go through life with them.
I went to a phscologist and told him every thing and that I enjoyed wearing nappies and thought that I might need help as I did not feel that it was normal.
He told me that it was very difficult to cure anyone of this sort of feeling and he advisd me to go out and enjoy it if that was what I wanted as long as it did not bother others.
Well I don't bother others with it and I don't normally post on sotes like this either I just came across the heading and thought that I could throgh some sort of light on the subject for the motheres out there they can think what they like about what I have writen but I hope that they have taken it in and give it some thought as there kids might be like me perhaps that is a worrying thought for some I am sorry about that but you never know your child may be like me.
If they are I would not worry about it to much apart from enjoying nappies they could be quite normal but then what is normal anyway.
And if they are dont you think that they will have a hard time coming to terms with it them selfes it is not till one comes to terms with somthing like this that one can start to live there lives.
It ripped me apart untill the time that I accepted the fact and that was after I saw the shrink.
I guess that most of the posting on this site is done by ladys, well ladys I am sorry if you think that my posts have been affencsive but I felt that I should tell you what has happened to me and it is no good you thinkingthat you will stop little johny from wanting to wear nappies because the more you try to stop him the more he will want to do it so you may as well go with it and have some sort of control over it rather than him go behind your back doing it and god knows what that might lead to.
I have read a lot about the subject as you can imagineover the years and one thing that is clear is if you punish johny for it you will make things worse, take it from a person that has gone through it.
By the way it seems to happen mainly to boys but it is not uncommon in girls.
Also it seems that the children that are aloud to wear nappies at home and in bed seem to be happier and do better at school.
A lot of mothers that let there children wear nappies do so at home but draw the line at them wearing them to school although I have come across a couple of cases where the child was wearing nappies 24/7 but that is up to you.
I will close now and will not post again unless there is another posting like the last one calling me a perve I don't even mind that but before you post again like that stop and think what harm am I doing to anyone NONE.
So you may think that there is some thing wrong with me but I don't see anything different with me than some one that say has a foot fetish would you call them a perve?

Is it true that nappies ecourga kids to wet the bed.

Iva had to reort to put my daughter back into nappies as her bedwetting hasn't stopped and now she's 8 it has continued. The funny thing is that we use towelling nappies, sometimes she can hold all the way till the morning without a wet nappy where as if she has nothing on she is most definitely going to wet the bed. This is strnage shouldn't nappies encourage children to wet themselves more during sleep.

My Daughter Just Got a new best friend who I have never met before.
So one day she came round and the mum had a big bag behind her
I wondered what was init but then the mum said

She Gets changed 4 - 5 times aday

then when the mum had gone i looked and saw some nappies at the bottom of the bag
LAter on i had to change her eww!
When she left my daughter asked if she could start wearing them i thought

she is 11 for godsake

But then she said if you don't i will start wetting and crapping my pants or i will do it any way in a nappy.
Should i let her ?

[blondenemesis]

My son is 3 turning 4 in a few weeks, & still wears a nappy to bed.
I have to say (after reading some of the previous posts ) that he is completely continent during the day. He makes a point of going to the toilet even when he has a nappy on at night, & is still awake.

We would have tackled this problem earlier... but his father & I separated in the begiining of this year, & he is only now coming to terms with the upheaval. Any major changes to his comfort zone - such as his bottle & nappy in bed - would have been pointless & cruel. I have recently stopped him having a bottle in bed, & am now ready to take the next step & want to commence nappy-free bedtime ASAP .

Can anyone suggest techniques/products that have worked for them? I have found that pyjama pants & 'pull-ups' are useless - he treats them like a nappy but they simply lack the absorbency, & the bed ends up saturated . I am trying to track down a rubber/plastic mattress protector, but have so far not been very successful. Any ideas?

Hi there
I really dont think that you should let your child wear diapers. It could be that your childs friend has a medical condition. U need to explain to your child why your friend has nappys on. i think the reason why your child wants these nappys is becuase her friend has them and she doesnt. in a childs imagination its all ways "I want what he/she has". you should be carefull because also your childs friend could be trying to convince your child in wearing nappys, saying how comfy they are. do you really see yourself changing your 11 year old childs dirty nappy? and it doesnt stop there, your should will then get lazeyer and lazeyer, the longer it does on the more nappys you will be changing. So..... be the boss and put a stop to it. i hope helps

Hi there
It could be that your child is using nappys as kind of like a security blanket. her body is developed enough for her to wake up when she needs to goto the toilet. in the middle of the night it could be that she is waking up then wetting in the bed then going back to sleep. i would try this: at night do you leave any lights on i.e the landing light? if not then try 1 night to leave the landing light on but close her door. you might find that she gets up and goes to the toilet at night. how often is she wet when she wears a nappy at night?if you want to get in contact with me, please feel free to email me at doctor_001@ntlworld.com for this and any of the other issues on the forum
