My first time using diapers and my first accidents
My diapering started with pull-ups and then I transitioned into Abena M-4 diapers. So for this post I will tell you about using both of them.
With pull-ups, I could never get a full wetting in. I tried once, right when I started, and the pull-up leaked all over the bathroom floor. It was a mess to clean up. But while I picked out diapers and waited for them to get to my house, I used pull-ups 24/7 because I didn't have any other options. The 2 brands I used were Certainty by Walgreens and Assurance by Walmart. I like the Assurance ones better, they are a lavender color with is fun, and they hold more. Also, I find that the Certainty pull-ups give me a wedgie, and overall they make me feel very unsafe. As far as changing goes, just pee is straightforward. I would use wipes for it, it is just easier to clean anything up. I never had a problem with diaper rashes because I never had the opportunity to stay in them for long. Pooping in pull-ups is more complicated. There is always the fear that the pull-up can't contain it. You have two options for taking it off, you can either try to pull it down which runs the risk the poop falling out, or you can tear or cut at the sides and take it off like you would a tab diaper. I prefer to tear at the sides since it is less messy. With poop you definitely need wipes, I decided to try and clean up the first time without wipes and it was awful. Pull-ups are good for little leaks but for true incontinence, you need tab diapers.
With diapers, I started with my Master's suggestion of Abena M-4s, then I went to Tenas, then I went back to M-4s. Now I am using a combination of Abena M-4s and Medline extended wear. I don't really remember wetting for the first time in real diapers. I love wetting my diaper now, and it feels good to just let go wherever I am. But on the same note, I love how new diapers feel. It feels good to change from a soaked diaper to a new diaper. I also don't remember when I messed first or how I necessarily felt. I don't really like pooping in any context, but with diapers it is better. I clean up with a wipe and clean myself until the wipe comes up clean. With diapers, I always use baby powder and diaper cream, and I haven't really had any problems with rashes.
I hope that was interesting enough. For me diapers just feel like I belong in them. I enjoy your comments/messages and writing suggestions.
