Reny,
I'm sorry to hear about that issue you described. I hate to recommend that anyone wear an incontinence product unless it is absolutely necessary. I think incontinence products should be the last resort when all other options have been explored and weren't successful.
In terms of trying to avoid wearing any products, one method would be to start limiting your fluid intake just after dinner. Throughout the day it is important to stay hydrated, but you can start to taper off after dinner. Of course trying to empty your bladder right before bedtime is always a good idea too.
I also think it would be wise to see your doctor and explain your symptoms. He/She may be able to suggest another course of action (perhaps medicine or some type of physical therapy) that might have an effect on those symptoms.
If none of that helps, I think we would then have to start looking at what disposable incontinence products would best suit your specific needs. Perhaps you could experiment with different products on those nights where you were not able to empty your bladder before you went to bed.
Let me know if you want to talk about specific products and I'll gladly lend a hand.
Good Luck!
