I was diapered until I was 15 and found it to be a very positive experience. It was a tremendous comfort to me, knowing I was secure in bed. I wet very, very infrequently, but still benefitted from the care my mother and younger sister directed toward me. There were no stressful issues of embarrassment or humiliation in our house. The entire issue was handled discreetly and with great love. <br /><br />I can only recall one time I felt shame about being diapered: I was about 12 and was going to have a school friend over to visit. There were two pairs of snap-on plastic pants on my dresser, along with a rectal thermometer and a jar of Vaseline. I just put them in my diaper drawer and forgot about them. That was the only time I ever felt I had to hide anything. <br /><br />Since I had grown up being diapered at night, there was no single "aha!" moment where my sister had to be made aware for the first time. Eventually, she would undertake the diapering chore after dinner each night. I would remain diapered until it was time to dress for school the next morning (or, on the weekends, until it was time to leave the house). <br /><br />I cannot say enough about her sensitivity and discretion. I was never shamed or made to feel bad because of my diapers. And I feel that her involvement is one of the key reasons we grew up very close. You see, there was a special bond of trust there. <br /><br />I would not hesitate to diaper an older child for even a moment. Given my family history, I know it can be done right and there is no need for a child to feel traumatized. <br /><br />Personally, I am grateful for the experience. The memories of comfort and security will remain with me for a lifetime.Mousewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09960264663982303287noreply@blogger.com
