I’m the first nappy-wearing influencer – I refuse to be ashamed of my incontinence and have even made a career out of it, says This Morning guest

YouTuber Pre is the first nappy-wearing influencer – and she is not ashamed of her incontinence, even managing to make a career out of it. 

The 27-year-old, who is from Toronto, appeared on This Morning on Monday to chat to Ben Shephard, Cat Deeley and Dr Sara Kayatto raise awareness of her condition. 

The social media star was just 19 when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, which then caused her bladder issues, so she then decided to start wearing nappies online and display it all for the world to see.  

Pre told them: ‘It was really hard because I didn’t have anyone to talk to. 

‘And because of that it was very depressing for me, I was going through incontinence, there’s so many problems going on and there was no one to talk to.

‘I was just depressed. It was a dark time for me.’

She added: ‘It was really hard for me mentally, when you think about who wears diapers, right, you’d think about babies or the elderly, what happens when your age falls in between?  

‘It’s like, why was I the anomaly?’

Cat was keen to know when she decided to take the power back and be open about her lifestyle online.

Pre said: ‘Mine was my social media platform, YouTube, being so open about everything that I was going through. 

‘Talking to people about my MS journey, talking to people about incontinence and even doing a diaper try-on.

‘Where people really loved what I was doing, where I was just so blunt and honest about everything. 

‘People always told me that no one talks about these things. And more people need to talk about it. It encouraged me to want to do more videos.’

Wearing nappies has changed her life and has given her some independence.  

She said: ‘I don’t fear being outside – that was the hardest part before coming across the diapers. 

‘I would wet myself outside in public. That was traumatising, dehumanising, embarrᴀssing.’ 

Pre took to her Instagram to share the exciting news that she was going to appear on the ITV show. 

She wrote: ‘EXCITING NEWS! I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be appearing LIVE on ITV’s This Morning show tomorrow! 

‘Tune in to watch my 8-10 minute segment where I’ll be sharing my personal story & spreading awareness about incontinence & adult diapers at 12pm/GMT. 

‘If you’re unable to watch the LIVE, it will be posted on their YouTube channel. Don’t miss it! #ThisMorning #ITV #LiveAppearance.’

Many rushed to share their support in the comments section.

Pre boasts an incredible 8.54k subscribers on YouTube. 

Her bio states: ‘Hello! Welcome to my channel where I advocate for the stigmatized in disability all while having a positive outlook to life. 

‘With having Multiple Sclerosis for 7 years, it’s put things into perspective for me with what this disease continues to challenge me with from a young age. 

‘With the content I share, I hope to shed light into what society has deemed to be abnormal to help educate and support those who have come across my channel. ‘

This Morning airs weekdays on ITV from 10am and is available to stream on ITVX.
