I’ve been wearing full-size diapers during the day for three weeks now, and honestly, it’s the best decision I’ve made after years of struggling with incontinence.

I’ve dealt with bedwetting for most of my life and have worn diapers to bed since I was 18. I tried everything to manage it, but nothing worked. Seven years later, I started having issues during the day too. I’d get the urge to pee and have maybe 10 minutes to find a toilet before risking an accident. At first, I only wore incontinence briefs for long journeys or nights out with my husband and friends. My husband doesn’t support my decision to wear diapers. He doesn’t like it when I wear them at home, even when the toilet is nearby. He keeps criticizing me for it.

People who have never had this problem will never understand how hard it is. Yesterday, he said that wearing diapers at night is one thing, but wearing them during the day means I’m weak.

(26F) for the past year or so, I’ve had a huge issue with urgency when I pee. I get no warning signs, I get the feeling to pee and it’s NOW or I pee my pants. There’s been so many times I have fully peed my pants. I cannot hold it. In the past 2 months, I have wet my bed twice in my sleep. I started wearing big maxi pads during the day and night as protection, and bring extra clothes with me. I struggled with this a lot as a child also but never as a grown adult. I’m 100% sober. I need advice. Should I see a urologist?

I’m from uk btw and the prices for swim disposables online are stupid

I'm currently interviewing for a new job and I wear diapers due to a medical condition. This is my first time navigating the interview process with this issue, and I'm feeling a little anxious about it.

​For those who have been through this especially those who work in Singapore:

​Did you mention anything to HR/interviewers, or keep it completely private?

​How do you handle discreetly asking for a restroom break during long/panel interviews?

​Any practical tips for staying comfortable and confident during an in-person interview?

I am a 46-year-old man, and I suffer from primary enuresis and severe mixed urinary incontinence (including daytime incontinence). These conditions cause me to urinate involuntarily and uncontrollably, both day and night—in other words, I am constantly wetting myself. During the day, a sudden emotion or a sharp movement can sometimes cause me to lose control; at other times, I feel an urge, but it comes on so suddenly and intensely that it is impossible to hold back—urination follows just seconds later. Most of the time, by the time I even feel the urge, I am already urinating. At night, I have practically never stopped bedwetting; currently, I empty my bladder multiple times while I sleep, without even realizing it. I wear diapers all the time. I would love to connect with other people who are incontinent, just like me! Please, get in touch.

For context: I have double incontinence but the underlying cause is still unknown

I’ve been trying to track triggers (primarily for bowel leaks). I usually drink a coffee and take 15mg of adderall in the mornings. Today I tried just the coffee, and cut the adderall, since I know caffeine’s a trigger. Crazy enough, I didn’t have any issues.
Later today I take my afternoon dose, and within an hour I have a bowel accident.
I know Adderall and other stimulants make you thirsty and so worsen urinary issues. Still, could Adderall be a trigger, irritant or diuretic too? Any ADHD pals have a similar experience?

Some days I have fine control some days I have next to no control and it throws me off and messes with me have self referred to local continence team to see about eval and getting pads covered but it's just confusing me it's like sometimes
My issue improve then random I can't hold my bladder for shjt anyone else have anything like this ? My bedwetting is random now good weeks and bad weeks anyone relate ?

Bonjour,
j’ai 18 ans et je suis française.

Je souffre de ce qu’on appelle de l’incontinence (plutôt au niveau des gaz), et c’est très difficile à vivre. Je suis quelqu’un de très propre, mais je ne ressens pas et ne sens pas les gaz provenant de moi.

Le pire, c’est le regard des autres. Quand les gens autour de moi disent que ça sent mauvais, je comprends que ça vient de moi, et c’est extrêmement humiliant.

Être dans un endroit clos, comme en classe entre deux personnes , est devenu horrible. Je suis constamment stressée, je n’arrive plus à me concentrer, et j’ai toujours peur que quelqu’un remarque l’odeur.

Les gens ne se rendent pas compte… mais non, ce n’est pas facile. Être “la fille jolie qui pue”, comme je le ressens, c’est un cauchemar.

Je rêve juste de pouvoir m’asseoir à côté de quelqu’un sans me soucier de quelque chose que je ne contrôle même pas.

Je vis dans le silence depuis 3 ou 4 ans, depuis la 3ème. Je n’en parle à personne. J’ai juste besoin de savoir que je ne suis pas seule, que quelqu’un peut comprendre ce que je vis.

J’aimerais tellement qu’on me donne des solutions simples, que ce problème parte de moi…

Ma vie est devenue un enfer à cause de ça. J’ai l’impression que tout s’est arrêté du jour au lendemain : les amis, les relations, la confiance en moi… tout a disparu.

Je donnerais n’importe quoi pour m’en débarrasser, mais il n’y a pas de solution miracle, et ça me désespère.

Est-ce que quelqu’un vit la même chose ? Est-ce que je suis la seule ?
Si vous avez des conseils, des solutions, ou même juste du soutien, je suis preneuse.

Merci de m’avoir lue.

I normally use pull-ups during the day and night, but lately the pull-ups don't last all night and I always wake up with leaks. My parents want to buy tape diapers but we don't know what brand or size to buy because I am very thin due to Duchenne muscular dystrophy.I hope you can help me choose a good product for nighttime 🙏🏻

...and actually my whole trip was perfectly fine. Was anxious about going through the airport for the first time in a pull-up rather than a pad. Got a letter from my urologist about my OAB, emailed the airline/airport and had a hidden disability added to my ticket. Arrived an extra hour earlier than recommended just in case. Changed into a dry pull-up right before security. Disclosed to the technician on the body scan that I was wearing a pull-up pad.

They never looked at the letter, just took me aside into a private screening room with a witness.

I signed a consent then they asked me to take off my outer clothes so I was just wearing a shirt and the product. They ran a wand over me and did an explosives swab.

Whole thing took about 3 minutes and was way less of a big deal than I thought it would be.

I've had agents give me a harder time and delay me for longer about my keychain screwdriver to be quite honest.

I was allowed to carry an extra carry-on bag with my supplies, they gave me an aisle seat near the toilet, I was on pre boarding so I could stay near the toilet while everyone else boarded, the crew warned me when we were about to leave/descend so I could use the toilet before the seatbelt sign came on.

I didn't have an accident the entire time (unlike last time I was on a plane).

Just thought I'd share a positive story on this sub for once!

Has anyone tried kinn disposable underwear? Just looking for any input on them if someone tried them. I will be getting samples once there restocked. I ordered a sample and the refunded me cause they were out but will be sending me some as soon as there back in stock. The seem a bit pricey but they look like they would be comfortable. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I have PTSD and have had nightmares that have caused bedwetting. It doesn't happen too often, but enough to cause issues. I have on a mattress protector and a reusable pad. What is the best reusable diaper on the market?

Throw away acc for obvi reasons.

I take pills for my bladder spasms and I forgot to take them today. I did not realize this until I was out and about.
I had the day off so I decided to take myself out to get an iced coffee and go thrift shopping.

While walking around Savers a spasm hit. Thinking I had taken my medication as usual, I thought it would pass. Boy was I wrong. I leaked a little bit in my pants. Thankfully I was wearing black leggings.

I stood in the aisle looking like an idiot with my legs crossed, waiting for the spasm to pass. But it wasn’t passing and I leaked more. It was at that point that I realized I was peeing my pants.
I ran out of there leaving a trail of small puddles behind me.

Because I didn’t take my meds, my bladder didn’t hold much. So I only peed maybe a quarter cup on the floor.

Sorry to the employee who had to clean up after me.
I ran out of there so fast I wasn’t thinking straight.

I'm beyond tired of shitting and or pissing the bed. I'm ready to try diapers. Just for sleeping.

I'm looking for ones that don't tape so I guess pull ups?

Hiya everyone, I went to the GP the other day and have been referred to the urology department (GP said it's urge incontinence/overactive bladder).

I've been experiencing symptoms for a good while (over a year) and I'm wondering what I can expect at my actual urology appointments. It sounds a bit silly but what will they actually do?

I would love any advice from people in the UK! I'm also a female in my early 20's so it would be nice to hear from anyone else experiencing the same thing.

Has anybody had any issues with PROTEC briefs not being very communicative lately? I ordered a pair back in July and loved them so I ordered three more on September 24th, but have yet to see any delay or shipping emails or responses to my inquiries. I understand they are probably not mass produced and the adult market is probably not as big as child market, but it would still be nice to receive some sort of communication.

Ya idk what to do for years I was leaking a lot and smelled really
Really bad but also I self
Harmed myself so I have brain damage ? So I’m kinda stuck like this ? I mean that’s what caused it in the first place I’m guessing ? Also I feel less like a person almost even tho I know I have a lot of effect on people in some ways ? Maybe I just need mental health help

I made a post about little while ago and things have kinda returned to normal for me problem is normal isn't really ideal ether. I want to do first responder type work but here's my problem. On an average day I have a hard time making it to the bathroom for a bowel movement. Home is not all bad other then I just basically have to drop whatever I am dealing with and go.If I am delayed more then 5 10 ish mins theres often at the very least a bowel leak worest I poop my pants completely. Problem two if I make it 30 min later I have a bowl leakage enough to stain my underwear I I don't have access to a bathroom to clean up again. Sometimes this happens when I exercise too. I sometimes leakage urine when I wash my hands its rare but happens. However if I wear protection of any kind it seems to mean I make it much less fir 1 or 2 why I don't use pull ups as much . But full tab diapers trying to hold anything is almost impossible for me. My doctor referred me to a gastrointest. I have tried changing my diet. Tried Kegals teied herbal stuff nothing helps unfortunately. Looking for advice on what I should do until the referral appointment. Like when I am sick I pretty much know now I need full diapers but yeah. Any advice would be great.

My nephew is handicapped and has stool incontinence. He is 15 years old. It seems as though every day he has stool that escapes his pull-up or diaper and is on the floor. This happens at home and in public at stores. His mother is is embarrassed and house supplies to clean this up I’m surprised that stores don’t don’t get upset. and
They just allow the mother to clean it up and everyone goes on their happy way.
I’m wondering if this is a fit issue with the boys pull up or diaper I’m not sure what he’s wearing. Could this be the problem? Thank you for any advice.

Hey everyone!

I've been dealing with urinary incontinence, and one of the things I'm still trying to get comfortable with is wearing protection when I'm out of the house.

At home it's not really a big deal, but going out in public is a different story lol. I'm still figuring out how to feel comfortable wearing protection around other people, especially when I'm at work or just going about my day.

Changing in public restrooms is another thing I'm struggling with. I'm never really sure how to go about it discreetly, especially when the bathroom is busy or doesn't have much space.

I guess I'm just curious how everyone else handles it. Do you carry a bag with supplies? How do you deal with changing in public bathrooms or worrying that someone might notice?

I'd love to hear any tips or experiences from people who've been dealing with this longer than I have.

Mainly I want to stop my pull-ups from leaking, so I figure changing them more often would fix this?

Thanks! ❤️
