hello. I guess I would say I'm not new to this.. but I don't talk about it... so I guess I'm new to that part of it.
I'll tell more about my journey as I make more posts... but suffice it to say I've had off and on issues with incontinence, urinary incontinence, all my life potty training was a nightmare with me.. and to top it all off we found out that not only are my sons on the autism spectrum but apparently so am I.
it actually stopped for several years and then just came back with a vengeance about 3 years ago when I started wetting the bed I had always just used diapers to control things like that ever since I was a kid all the way into adulthood.. so I bought some diapers and just for those to bed. of course the problem that I ran into was that the cheap store brand ones leak at night.. so I had to buy more expensive ones. and it's sort of settled out ... I probably went to bed every two or three nights
but on December 5th of last year I ended up having a wedding accident during the day.. and then the next day... in the next day I had intense pain and vomiting and passing out and wetting and then December 9th the same thing happened but I went to the ER.
turns out that I had a kidney stone... now she said it was about 4 mm and actually ended up being closer to 8mm. and since December 9th I have had about 16 wetting accidents during the day.. so I've started wearing diapers during the day a few dys ago..
so I picked up a combination of medical diapers from covinden and pull ups from prevail and Tranquility all together almost 150 diapers.. she also threw in 2, 72 packs of heavy duty male guards... I figure I can use those as a booster
all together I pick them up for $40 ... 40 of the Pull-Ups are a little small.. but they do fit. and for the price I think they can be perfect for a backup something to keep in the truck or car
anyway it's kind of weird because on the one hand I'm completely embarrassed by this.. on the other hand I feel more comforted because I know that I don't have to be embarrassed by peeing my pants in public...
big problem I'm running into is these medical grade diapers really don't work all that well... I'm out and about for long periods of time.. and while the medical diapers aren't really leaking on me, at least not much.. my skin doesn't tolerate it very well
so I've started putting baby oil down there if you like that will keep my skin from getting a rash
but I've been thinking.. I've been having to change about 2 to 4 times a day.. maybe it makes more sense to buy more expensive products that I'm changing once or twice a day?
but I really want to maintain some level of discretion but more important than the discretion is the protection because any embarrassment I get from somebody finding out and wearing an adult diaper is nowhere near the embarrassment I would have from being all over somebody's floor!
any suggestions for an adult diaper that is affordable, can hold up to 8 hours or more... and obviously that has late gatherers and leap guards.. I think I would prefer a cloth backing just because it seems more discreet.. and it's easier to reposition tapes if I ever need to remove it to put it back on.. but I'm open to plastic back as well
I'm hoping somebody has some good ideas.. and maybe some ideas on how to deal with the slight rash that I s
eem to be having?
