I came dangerously close to crossing a point of no return this evening. It’s probably more than you care to know, but I’m going to tell you anyway.

In my haste, I forgot to pack underwear for my trip. Fortunately for me, I haven’t been working out but I have been bringing my workout clothes…just in case. The two pairs of shorts have been suitable alternatives to your standard underwear but now I’m out. No store is close to me other than a CVS drugstore in the lobby so whatever they have is my only choice.

Having never purchased drug store underwear for myself in the past, I went to the logical place to find them (near the socks). They had one three pack of men’s size small which would be like wrapping my loins in a tourniquet so I moved on.

It struck me that they make Depends adult diapers and I could use them not to soil myself in but to simply use as a shield between my body and the thin worsted wool dress pants I need to wear tomorrow. After scanning my options, I was delighted to see that I wear a size small/medium in adult diapers so I grabbed the smallest pack of generics and moved towards the register.

I swear to you that on my way to the register with a full and honest intention and acceptance of wearing an adult diaper for the first time tomorrow, my eye caught a three pack of boxer briefs in my size next to the candy section.

Almost reluctantly, I picked up the three pack and walked the adult diapers back to their place on the shelf. It’s weird that once I accepted the idea, I was almost looking forward to giving it a go and basking in the glow that I would surely feel tomorrow as I mingled with the public with my little secret. I briefly even flirted with the idea of giving a pair the old load test when I returned to home base.

You don’t ever want to wish incontinence on yourself but after considering this so strongly tonight for the first time in my life, I do hope to give them a shot one day. I believe today has readied me for such an experience.
