As sunlight shines down through the window of a sleeping teen, the rays kissing her face and stirring her awake. With a great big yawn, Leah stretched her arms out to either side, and opened her eyes. Her mind still hazy from sleep, she gently existed as she tried to remember the previous day; a particular stench and squishy feeling quickly brought them back. Leah felt building fear as she tentatively lifted her covers, and gasped when she saw an absolutely loaded diaper. She had thought last night was a weird fever dream, something that would never happen again, and yet...looking at her diaper she had absolutely no control at night. Part of her hoped it was just a night time thing, that she wouldn't need to wear diapers during the day.
She placed a hand on her diaper, feeling...surprisingly fine despite being filled with her waste. She almost felt...comfortable? If she wanted, she could absolutely go back to sleep with no trouble. Is that normal with messy diapers? It has been a while since she's worn them last.
She sits up, groaning slightly as she expects the diaper to feel nasty, but being pleasantly surprised when it really doesn't feel all that different---she still feels weirdly comfortable, despite feeling cold and clammy. Not even the earth scent of her own feces really bothers her. Here she thought filling her pants with smelly poo would be gross, and it turns out to feel fine? One small silver lining, she supposes.
She briefly wonders how she's supposed to get changed, and fills with dread at the prospect of needing to ask Tina. It was pretty self intuitive, right? She could just take it off and get a shower, no biggie. Still, the risk of making a bigger mess gives her pause.
A knock on the door makes her jump.
"Leah, are you awake?"
Leah feels that dread again, letting out a deep sigh as she prepares for whatever nonsense her stepmother will put her through.
"Yes, I'm awake."
"Oh, good. You, um...how do I say this? Do you...need a change?"
Leah's face erupts in red, impulsively wanting to shout no, but knowing she needs to say yes.
"I, uh...yeah, kind of. But...could I just-"
"-teach you how? I was planning on it."
Leah felt a great sense of relief at no longer having to show off her bare waist; it was already horrible the previous night.
"That sounds great, yeah."
Leah stood up and walked to the door, still amazed at how natural moving with a full diaper feels. She unlocks the door to see a nervous Tina, changing supplies in hand. Her eyes train down to Leah's underwear briefly, making Leah blush further---just how badly was her continence now?
"So, how about a brief tutorial? Then you can go about doing things yourself." She said, not bringing attention to Leah's clearly loaded diaper (at least she was being tactful about it). Leah nods and ushers her in.
Tina is a surprisingly good teacher, explaining the steps in clear instructions that don't feel patronizing. As Leah suspected, it was a relatively simple process, and she felt like she got it down pretty fast. Any worry about needing someone else to change her vanished, lifting a weight from her shoulders.
"Whelp, that's about it!" Tina concluded, smiling as Leah placed the last tape on her new diaper. While she was worried about needing to wear diapers during the day, at least it felt extremely comfortable (silver-linings yada yada). Tina placed the rolled up dirty diaper, and dispensed it into a newly placed diaper pail. See that really hit it home.
"Tina...I don't know what's happening to me."
Tina's smile shrunk, looking a bit more uneasy.
"You're just having a little trouble, Leah, that's all."
"A little trouble? I woke up in a dirty diaper, that's more than a little trouble!"
"Well...Leah, to be perfectly honest I don't know. Most people don't randomly lose their potty training."
Leah's eyes widened.
"Lose my- no way! There's no way! It's just a bug or something, right?"
Tina smiles nervously.
"Yeah, you're probably right. Sorry, you know me, always got toddler on the brain. It'll probably clear up. H-However, you probably want to wear a diaper throughout the day. You know, just in case?"
Leah crossed her arms and shrugged; that made sense to her at the very least, and diapers were honestly pretty comfortable. As long as she doesn't have to go in public, she should be fine.
Tina gave a sigh of relief.
"Okay, good. If you need any more help, just come ask, okay?"
"Yeah. Thanks Tina."
With that she gave a nod and exited the room, leaving behind Leah's new makeshift changing station. There's no way that Tina would set this up for something short term, she absolutely thinks the diapers are staying. Leah can only hope that Tina is wrong, and this embarrassing little experience will be a funny memory soon.
It's the weekend, so Leah has some free time. She's a little limited at the moment, but that doesn't mean she can't find things to do.
