I am in diapers 24/7, although I use them only for wetting. Most of the time I use cloth diapers, even to wear to work, and I only use disposables if I'm going on a trip where I'll be away from home for the whole day or multiple days, but that doesn't happen often.
Cloth diapers may actually use less water than using the toilet, especially if you wash them in a HE clothes washer, but possibly even if you use a standard washer. After all, you flush after every time you use the toilet, but you wash several diapers in one load.
And for those concerned about wearing cloth diapers to work ... it depends on where you work and what kind of clothes you wear. I wear rather loose-fitting black jeans, and so far I have had nobody notice my diapers that I know of. Women may have an easier time of it than men, because diapers are much more difficult to notice if you wear a long dress or skirt than if you wear pants. Sure, if you wear skin-tight leggings, miniskirts, or something like that, you're not going to be able to wear any kind of diapers without it being obvious, but there aren't many jobs that require you to wear clothes like that. And even so ... if people notice, you can always tell them that you're incontinent (if you're not, but you're listening to files to become incontinent, it will soon become true anyway), it's a medical issue, and it's none of their business.
