What age did you all stop wearing diapers/pull-ups?

3 1/2

Nappies until 11-12 then gained daytime control until late 20's and back in nappies fulltime.

I was potty trained when I was two years old, so I guess I stopped using diapers then. Pull-ups... I was probably 3ish.

I've started wearing disposable underpants, in late 2006, because I've lost control of my bowels, than. Than I've lost faith in myself as a person in early 2007, after a nasty Internet break-up and I chose the wrong path to walk down. I became an angry green-haired punk rocker and started to identify, with Sid, from Flushed Away.

I got my life back on track, a year ago, September and I found out, that someone that I really look up to, has been wearing the same type of protection for the same problem, since he was in his 20s, since the 1960s.

If I only would have known, back in that horrible January of 2007...

3 years seems to be the average for coming out of nappies (diapers) though if there are issues some children can have pullups until whenever.

This is the second time you have dug up a diaper thread, you must have diapers on your mind so you are doing a search on it here.

That is an interesting preoccupation League Girl.
For someone who makes a poor joke about diapers in their signature.
Troll-like behaviour.
Yes I have a particular (medical) reason.
Not that it is any concern of yours.
Is it an offence to discuss such a topic?
No thought not.
In which case I would politely remind you to mind your own business.

About 2 1/2?

One of my earliest memories involves my father forcibly putting me in a diaper when I was 4, while I was crying because I was wearing my big-boy underwear for some time before then.

I had a lot of toilet-training issues, I remember, but eventually I caught on before I entered kindergarten. I have had very few accidents of that sort since then, so few that it's barely worth mentioning. Yet at the time when I was 4, the feelings of disgrace over what was happening to me that day is something that I remember very clearly to this very day. Strange how that happens.

I think I was almost 4 when I finally got the hang of potty training, so that was the last time I had diapers. I don't remember pull-ups at all, probably because they weren't available at the time. Now, just before puberty, I did have issues where I would sleep so deeply that I would ignore the signal to go to the bathroom, so I was a bed wetter. That phase didn't last very long, as I eventually grew out of it and was able to wake up in time to make it to the bathroom.

Yeah.
I have no direct memories my pre toilet trained days. And my earliest memories are from around three.

Careful though you might get told it's weird to bump stuff like this.

Think I was "trained" and out of them round 3 but kept having accidents till at least grade 7
(I'm Canadian so its grade 7 not 7th grade)

Started wearing them again by choice around 17 years old (they comfort me)

(Did I just necro a thread . ... Woops)

I was maybe around 2. I think back in my day most kids were potty trained around that age because parents were more consistent and diapers weren't as comfortable back then. A lot of kids use their refusal to potty train as a way of manipulating their clueless parents.

I had to wear pull-ups at night until I was about 8.

I still wear diapers as I can't always feel when I have to go
