I did have a bad reaction to Ozempic and have switched to another drug. 

What kind of reaction? I hope to try a GLP1 at some point.

Otherwise pretty stable here, continence-wise. Pull-ups during the day to catch leaks. DIapers at night to stay dry.

Checking in on everyone. How is your life with incontinence going?

FirstQuality (Prevail) tried to normalize a seize "regular" between medium and large but it didn't catch on and was quietly retired. Fit, is the biggest reason I shop around for options as some brands just don't fit my body.

They 'would' be good for showing off my Crinklz at home, but I don't know. The Gary activewear and Northshore trifecta PUL pants are still my favorite.

We will have PUL pants soon!

Clear plastic pants are in. Stay dry without blocking the view of your diaper design or wetness indicator.

When my Dad was on the decline he had to wear diapers, and the ones provided wee of course crap. I get him better ones and the hole health people were impressed by them as well. They usually only see what insurancemedicare provide.

Interesting indeed. 

As I get older post-void-dribbling is becoming an issue. Luckily I am always in some level of protection, but it means not being completey dry most of the time. Any tips?

I agree, the six-tape designgives a superior fit. I don't know why it didn't catch on.

+1 for anti-fungal spray. I use it every few days to ward off infections. Fungus loves warm moist conditions so can be a real problem for those who need protection.

Is the test conclusive of anything or just another marker to put on your chart?

Just checked, you're active!

Bummer. You don't normally get that, do you? And hopefully it was one of those "thank goodness I was already wearing a diaper" moments.

I've had episodes like that myself. Usually from eating something that didn't agree with me, or being sick. Any idea what caused it for you?

I had just changed into a fresh pull-up, which was enough protection in this case. Don't know the cause, but my stomach was kind of sensitive all that day.

After a rough night, I woke up late and stumbled to my office. Sat down in the chair and immediately soiled myself. No warning or ability to stop it. Not a huge mess but enough to be annoying!

Poor Shaq! He handled the ribbing well when he got back.

How much time a day do you spend/waste worrying about your bladder and continence?

Today I noticed how much I was aware of my bladder, and concerned about when to void to avoid accidents and leaks. Almost to a distracting level. It's enough to make part of me want to give in and just wear diapers all the time, though I still avoid that due to the cost and the principal of not giving up on my continence before I have to.

Staying in a real diaper today, drinking cranberry juice.

I like her matter-of-fact way of talking about incontinence and diapers.

Haven't gotten the 'too young' excuse, but I'm overweight and the default of doctor's is always to blame my weight for everything. Even had one doctor tell me loosing weight would help with my ear aches as if too much gravity was the problem and not allergies lol

Well handled!

I've been down with a case of food poisoning that has kept me in bed, in pain, most of the time. Its starting to improve but I'm not back to normal yet.

Incontinence is as spotty as ever, so I wear protection of some level all the time.

Getting some fresh air on your skin is essential!!
