An interesting Dr appt.

So as many already know, I'm functionally urinary incontinent (I constantly leak pee due to previous complications and subsequent surgeries). And as some may know, I'm also abdl and a furry, and have embraced my need for diapers. As such, my go-to diaper is Crinklz (the betterdry version with babyfur prints on it). Anyways, I recently developed an abcess on my groin, so it was off to the Dr for some antibiotics. He already knows I'm diapered, though I usually keep a few plain white diapers on hand just for this situation. It tends to make things less awkward. But of course I'm out of stock and only have Crinklz. Oh well, I couldn't put this off.

Sure enough, he did need to verify the infection. And of course he needed an attendant there too. So I dropped my pants, and then my PUL diaper cover. He must have thought that was my diaper, because before I could pull it down he bent over and got a good look at my Crinklz. He immediately said "oh", then "sorry". Talk about embarrassing, though it was all my fault.

My Dr did stay professional the whole time, but after I got dressed again he asked if he could ask about my diaper. I said yes, and he said started with asking if I'm ok having to use them. I said I actually prefer them, especially since it's much better than the alternative of not being able to pee at all. He then said he never saw one like it and asked what kind it was. I told him about it and Betterdry, and how they actually work really well and last much longer versus Depends and the like. He then asked about the supplier and cost, so I mentioned LL Medical and North Shore and also pointed out they can easily work out to be cheaper than Depends. He seemed genuinely impressed by them, but also just had to add they were "cute" too. Still an otherwise positive reaction, so I'll take it.

Ps. It's only been a day but the infection already hurts less. I should be fine within the usual 7-10 days.

Thanks for sharing this experience. Sounds like the Doc was professional and cool about your choice of protection.

I do keep a few bags of all-white diapers on hand for this very scenario when I am wearing printed ones.

I'm glad your doctors are all understanding and it sounds like the doc was professional and cool about being diapered

My doctors knows I wear Northshore diapers and are very comfortable and supportive as well.

i wear either betterdry or crinklz also for the same reasons... last time i was in hospital one of the nurses looked at a betterdry in my bag and commented how much better they looked then the hospital diapers
