I found this video from the Abena brand, featuring a special diaper for fecal incontinence; it seems to me that the leak guards are wider. I don't know if it's still available. https://youtu.be/BuNrs2yR2R0?si=pDSiagmeVbdEdqo4

I completely agree with you. I learned it over time. I explained my fear about leaks on the pants even though I am protected or a bad position or a bad gesture that makes my diaper appear in the back etc ... I take my precautions but unfortunately it has already happened and some people are not always open-minded.

It's hard to explain… I have periods where I feel good and I live my daily life practically well and other periods where my incontinence is more important than average and I feel psychologically tired. Overall it remains stable, 2 diapers during the day and 1 at night. I have many passions that make me think of something else but I isolate myself a little more than before, I go out less, I am always afraid of wetting my pants or that people will discover that I am wearing a diaper.

I understand your stress and worry, I've been there. In my personal case, I was always worried and psychologically tired, I hardly left the house anymore. I had no more positive improvement and I admit I lost the motivation to fight. I could no longer do anything without wearing protection. After a long period of adaptation, my daily life has evolved, I wear diapers day and night now, but I manage to have much more leisure time than before. I'm not saying it's a solution but my mind is much lighter now.

Sometimes I don't have enough diapers and have to go to a medical store to buy a pack while waiting to receive my next order. This is not the first time that I have encountered a saleswoman who insistently advises me something other than diapers, thinking that it is better for me. This week she advised me to try a condom catheter connected to a urine bag. I came out with my package but the conversation with this woman was really painful. Have you ever met this kind of person who knows better than you how to protect yourself against your incontinence ? have you experienced this type of situation?

Thank you all for your comments. The beginnings of my incontinence were difficult because I didn't know how to protect myself. I can't count the number of brands and protections I tried at the time. I was fed up because I had the feeling that there was no effective protection for mobile and severely incontinent people. Since then, I have much better control over my daily life with the Northshore Supreme. I stress a lot less and I no longer hide at home. Generally, I have the opportunity to change in the middle of the day but sometimes I underestimate my urination and I sometimes leak. This weekend I followed your advice and wore a Megamax every day. I haven't had any leaks but I have a hard time staying in the same wet diaper for so long. I would like to try Northshore panties but they are impossible to find in Europe. To try, I ordered 2 PUL panties on a German TCSB site. one for the night and one for the day. I don't know what to expect but I hope to find some extra protection.

You're not wrong and I understand your way of thinking. I still have a package left, I should try again. but for more peace of mind, I would like to try the panties and can you tell me the difference between PVC and PUL? Is there one material that is easier to wear than the other?

thanks for your advices. John, I bought a pack of Megamax to try. I was surprised by the amount of absorption but the only negative comment is that they swell a lot when they are very wet and I felt a lot of discomfort wearing them. Generally I wear a diaper with boxers to cover my protection well and remain discreet but that is no longer enough now. I'm going to try the plastic pants you recommend, hoping to find some in Europe.

I may have expressed myself badly. Unfortunately, I have severe incontinence which requires me to wear significant protection. I use Northshore supreme briefs which help me a lot in my daily life but in certain cases, away from home, I sometimes get extremely wet without being able to change and I have leaks which can wet my pants. This is a very embarrassing situation.

I would like to know how you protect yourself during the day. Sometimes I have leaks during the day which puts me in very embarrassing situations. I would like to try plastic panties but I see everything and anything on the internet. It's difficult to judge because I don't know enough about this product. I would really like to remain discreet. Is it really useful and comfortable to wear all day ?

I didn't have the same opinion before but I admit that the quality of the diapers plays an important role for my well-being. my daily life has changed a lot and I am able to do things that seemed impossible to me before. I still need time to regain confidence and the feeling of freedom.

thank you for sharing your experience.

The question may be indiscreet but I would like to know how you manage your sexuality while being incontinent? Since I am incontinent and find it difficult to have sex because of my bladder leakage I am unable to go without a diaper for a while. How do you do ?

It is gratifying to read your message because I felt guilty for a long time by choosing this option. I feel less alone 🙂. A new chapter opens for me, even if it is still a bit embarrassing for me, over time I learn to accept and live with my incontinence.

I have been incontinent for 3 years and since then I have never had any real progress. I admit I gave up and found it easy with diapers. I don't think I will be able to get back to the life I used to, but it allows me to go out, have activities and regain confidence.
