Steps to un potty training yourself
It is one thing wearing a diaper and peeing or pooing in the diaper. The assumption that you will automatically start using the diaper from day one is wrong. Many diaper lovers narrate how hard it was for them to start using the diaper.
By the time you are considering losing continence, your muscles are trained to hold until you get to a bathroom. Training your muscles to release anytime, anywhere is a journey, and it will not take a day or two.
Here are simple steps on how to un potty train
Drink a lot of fluids
The frequency and the degree of being pressed are determined by how much fluids your body has to get rid of. Therefore, for your breakfast, increase your fluid intake by double. If you have been taking a cup of coffee, increase that to two cups and take a glass of water before you leave the house. If you have been skipping breakfast, it is time to start taking it.
Pee and poo in your diaper
The goal is to be in diapers fulltime and it starts from peeing. Therefore, do all the peeing in your diapers. Your body will resist at first, but allow yourself to get pressed to uncontrollable measures and release.
What’s more, if you have been doing Kegel exercise as you pee, it is time to stop that. Also, do not retighten your muscles after peeing. The goal is to get loosen bladder muscles, therefore, refrain from any practice geared towards tightening them.
On the other hand, if you get the urge for number two, do not hold too long. We are also working on loosening the spinster’s muscles, and therefore, you should not hold for long.
If you are in a private place, go on and fill your diaper immediately. Note that you do not want to fill your diaper in public because of the smell.
Change your diet
It is essential to change your diet to foods that balance the water levels in your body and keep your bowels loose. Some of the foods you should incorporate in your meals include:
- Yogurt- makes your bowels regular and reduces the smell of your feces.
- Almonds- help with bowel movement and contain an arginine antioxidant that helps testicles withstand diaper heat.
- Catnip tea with honey- loosens your bowels and relaxes your bladder muscles.
- Watermelon- watermelons contain water, therefore providing your body with more liquid to be removed.
- Drink more water- take a lot of water to provide your body with enough liquids to be evacuated. The more water you drink, the more you will need to pee throughout the day. However, be careful not to overhydrate.
Practice In the toilet
If you cannot get to relieve yourself in a diaper, sit or stand in front of the toilet and trick your mind. Practicing while seated in the bathroom has been successful for so many people. The tip here is to fake it till you make it.
After mastering how to use the diaper while seated and standing, you will have to practice how to pee while walking, driving, reclining. You should be able to use your diaper anytime, anywhere.

Un potty training tips
Un potty training is, in simple terms undoing the tedious potty training job your mother did when you were a toddler. Your parents worked so hard to transition you from using diapers, but now, you are about to apply the same effort into putting yourself back in diapers.
If you are sure that this is what you want to do, follow the tips below:
Choose the right diapers
By un potty training yourself, you will be in diapers all the time. The right diapers should be highly absorbed and of the correct size.

A perfectly fitting diaper should not be too tight or too loose. Tight diapers are uncomfortable, while loose ones will leak and sag.
Get ready emotionally and mentally
The first step to un potty training yourself is getting your emotions and mind ready; you will be confident that you are doing the right thing. If you have any doubts or negative feelings towards the same, postpone until it is suitable for you.
One way to get yourself ready is stocking up your favorite diapers and other essentials required in this journey.
Timing
Un potty training can take more than a year, depending on your body. Do not get worked up if you cannot involuntarily use the diaper as soon as you expected. Remember that you are undoing more than 20 years of your life, assuming that you are doing this at 30 years old. The process will not be fast or smooth.
