This thread just keeps going, so I'll throw in my 2 cents. ("Feed the birds, tuppence a bag."

I have worn 24/7 ish for many months now. Reasons included research and convenience in a busy life. But, research and convenience don't necessarily make a true 24/7 experience, as when the research is done, or it became inconvenient, I would stop until it was convenient again. Mostly that meant that I wore 24/7 except when people who might potentially criticize me for it were around.
As of a week ago, I committed to go truly 24/7 in solidarity with a friend who needs to be 24/7 due to a medical problem, but is having a hard time doing so because of some mental blocks, largely stemming from past and potential cruelty and criticism. So, I'm now truly 24/7, no matter who else is around to be a potential critic, or if it's convenient, as a way to be supportive. It definitely has its challenges; the reality of 24/7 in a busy working life around other people is more complicated than those who have never done it might suppose, but we're both managing.
One thing is for sure: the products available today are so much better than what was available only a few short decades ago. It is a great time to use diapers! For those who can't avoid them, the inconvenience is so much less than it once would have been. There was a time not that long ago where the convenience wearing I have been doing wasn't possible, because the products that make it convenient didn't exist. Great times.
