Scarth

i dont talk about it with most people, if it comes up i don't deny it but really it just dosent come up .. my family knows and some close friends. 

i wear loose shorts and tank tops .. also really try to stay hydrated even if that means having to change more 

i buy online .. its cheaper for what i wear and delivered to my door .. i do have a local diaper store here in denver that i can buy samples from 

i have had a lot of MRIs and CT scans and would never go without a diaper on .. there job is hard enough without cleaning up after me 

i do agree that wetness indicators are not really needed, yeah the elastic waist band are not that strong but i get a better fit with them

i have been asked why i was wearing a diaper but have never had someone shocked that i was. last time i switched clinics and doctors it wasn't even on the med history form 

im in Denver CO.lived all over but loving it up here 

one tip i havent seen here .. i have a roll of white duct tape handy if one of my tapes rips 

i use a waterproof mattress pad that also is heated .. and i sleep on a bed pad

Definitely see that point, but some of the landing zone diapers have been a huge help to me.  The Incontrol diapers are fantastic.  Yes, I still struggle with the bottom tape and comfort, but the features they have and capacity has allowed me to have more ease of use, and freedom to change when it's convenient.  I also have noticed I use fewer of them, and save money. 

I'd like to point out that i don't work for them, I just really appreciate their products. 😁  I think it's awesome they sponsored this site. 

And this is what is great about the diaper market now .. we all have different bodys and its great that we have a selection now, what works for some might not for others

There's probably something to be said for trying to stay dry, but there's no science behind it. If you're going to leak, you're going to leak.  For doctors or others in the community to say that you don't want to become reliant on diapers, and by wearing them it's somehow a detriment to your continence, I don't really think there's any proof to back up that conversation.  I use the bathroom when I can, but during the times when I can't, it's unavoidable.  I don't think there's any trick it.  Maybe I'm off...

i think its a case by case thing .. and a balance if quality of life and the amount of stress trying to stay dry gets you, not that i discourage anyone who its tring .. i try to control my bowel as much as i can. 

just started with a new PCP and we talked about it once and havent since .. im managing it and it dosent impact my other medical issues 

Count me in on the no lading zoners for the reasons given above .. they leak on me so much more when the diaper is not that wet 

i think we all work up a lot of anxiety about how others will react or judge us making it a much bigger deal in our heads. for me its a fear of being made fun of as a kid still in diapers or still wetting the bed. that did happen a few times but i worried about it all the time. Getting over that can be hard but. at this point in my life i really dont care what others think of how i manage my incon. and dont feel any need to tell people that normally wouldn't see me in my underwear 

Last time i was in hospital the nurse told me that they are told to call them absorbent briefs not diapers. 

Im  fighting  for  disability  right  now, but  i did  work at  fedex  for  15  years  .. i  would  carry  a  change  in my  lunch bag  and  change  in  a  lockable restroom.

with  just  bedwetting  there  is  the  idea  that  if  you can  stay  dry  during  the  day  you  should  be  able  to  stay  dry  at  night  ..  now  those  of  us that  have  never  been dry  at  night  know  this  is  just  not  true  but  i  do  think  most  of  us  were  told  we  would  grow  out  of  it  

Hi everyone Im Scarth, been  dealing  in  Incontinence  in  some  degree  all  my  life.  i  lost  the  control  i  did  have  over 20 years  ago  after a small stroke.  im  happy the  stoke waent  worse  and manage  my  incontinence  with  diapers
