Katherine,   There's no need to feel ashamed about your need to wear diapers as an adult. Many people have different types of incontinence and have learned to accept and deal with it successfully and comfortably.   However, a huge social stigma does exist about incontinence, which is unfortunate, but you can overcome your feelings of guilt and shame like many others have.
