Anything that contains your wetting is all you need. Poise and depends or any other disposable should be avoided because all they do is clog our landfills with paper, plastic, chemicals and human waste.
If you are going to continue to wear a diaper, home made or otherwise, you need to have enough to last you a few days and some sort of diaper pail so that you don't have to do laundry every day.
I am medically incontinent and I wear diapers 24 / 7, I use only cloth, because of what I mentioned above, but also for comfort. Disposables are hot and sticky where cloth isn't. Cloth breathes where disposables don't, they are or can be thicker but they are softer next to the skin and are much more comfortable to wear. The fact that I like to wear them helps tremendously.
I used to experiment when I was younger with fashioning a diaper out of wash cloths like you are doing. One thing you might try is to use a couple, or one if you are small enough, large bath towels. You only have one thing to deal with and it is a lot easier to put on. If you don't have any pins to hold it on then the underwear trick is a good way to go.
It sounds like you might also enjoy wearing them and your wetting could either be a real problem or just a good excuse to play. Either way, good luck, and have fun.

You would be better off going to the store and buy's some real diapers for your self. It's a lot less work and eazy to clean up. I mean in the morning you can just trow it away. It beats having to wash every thing and dry it for the next night. It would save you time. Plus diapers would be a lot eazery to hide fro your parents then this thing you have made. Cuse it don't sound like you have told them yet. So try that and see how that works.

why not just go to the store and get something like goodnites. How old are you,they fit up to people that weigh 120 pounds. If you're over that then try depends. I don't think that is going to hold it, plus its not very sanitary when you wet cotton,and you would have to wash them each time you wet.

Anything to catch the pee will work but the question should be about maybe talking to your doc to see why you still wet the bed.
