you try

You decide to put on a diaper right away. You figure there's no point in delaying the inevitable, and you might as well get used to it sooner rather than later. After all, the results say you're required to wear them, and you don’t want to get in trouble later.

Taking the pack, you head into the bathroom and find one of the curtained-off changing stalls. Inside, there's a padded bench, a disposal unit, and even a few supplies neatly arranged in a cubby. You set the pack down, pull out one of the thick, crinkly diapers, and stare at it for a moment. It looks… complicated. You’d never really thought about how to put one on before. It should be simple, right? Just like underwear, but with tapes?

You try lying back on the bench, sliding the diaper under yourself, and pulling it up between your legs. The tapes don’t want to cooperate, though. When you try sticking them down, one side is too loose, the other too tight, and the whole thing feels lopsided. You sit up, adjust, try again. No luck. The diaper is gaping around your thighs, and when you try shifting to fix it, it just crinkles awkwardly and shifts out of place.

Frustration builds as you huff, sitting there in just your shirt with a badly secured diaper barely clinging to your hips. You hadn't considered this part at all—how much trickier it is to get it on properly by yourself.

You glance toward the wall where a button labeled "Assistance Request" blinks invitingly. There’s probably an attendant or a bot nearby who could help… but do you really want to ask for help with something like this?
