World Travellers Unite! 🚗🚌🚂✈️🌍🌎🌏

Question for all the travelers out there. (and if needed, tell me to move this to its own post). How do you all who need to deal with bedwetting handle hotel/hostel situations?

Do you bring your own protective bed pads, request one, just wear protection or any other methods?

@Jamesinnh you post got me thinking ,good prompt.
 
@Alpit @jrpoorman

Since my bedwetting is infrequent I don't wear protection when home. Just have protection on the bed. However I do bring protection when sleeping at a hotel. I would hate to wet a hotel bed and that would be just down right rude to do so If you know you might have an issue. Now saying that I do under stand that if there was a leak or something beyond someones control that is understandable.
 
Hotels, or for that matter anytime I sleep in an unprotected bed, causes me a bit of anxiety. It just takes ONE accident under unfortunate circumstances and you NEVER want it repeated. I learned early to always over protect when somewhere else. Until I was 100% that I wouldn't leave a wet spot I also used to take a bedwetter underpad (the ones that have tapes and don't slip during the night) and sleep on it, as well. If I'm feeling unsure at a hotel, I have many times asked housekeeping for protection and have never gotten a negative reaction, as they are more than happy to prepare a bed than clean one up.
 
Thanks David, asking the hotel or staff I never thought of that. Sure they deal with plenty of ooops things on a daily basis.
 
@davidg6209 Like @jrpoorman I hadn't thought of asking for bed protection from the hotel either. Do they often have protection available to use if requested? I might be too embarrassed to ask to be honest.
 
I have called ahead, when concerned. I just ask for the director of housekeeping and suggest that, if they have any sort of mattress protector on hand, that they might want to put it on my bed before I arrive. I have had a variety of results, but if your concerned, its worth the ask. They never seem to sound surprised, as I'm sure they've seen it all. One hotel just bought a package of bedwetting pads and placed them on the nightstand before I arrived.
 
The place we just stayed at in Tennessee a wet bed probably would have improved the place...🤔 May have made a clean spot...just saying. Was very disappointed and we let them and their corporate offices and google reviews know about the experience.
 
@davidg6209 They went and bought bed pads. Wow, good service indeed.

@jrpoorman Sorry to hear about your bad experience.
 
We had a blast and didn’t know about the hotel feedback. I found allot of negative reviews but it was only after we had spent the night. So note to self, the Howard Johnson’s hotel in Chattanooga, Tennessee listing on the web is not what the rooms look like. Despite the 14 glaring deficits of the hotel room the bed was actually very comfortable... go figure. If you have never been to Chattanooga it was my first trip but the whole city is amazing. And, you can check out the Chattanooga Choo-Choo and the train station. And a list of fun other things to do. Zoo, Aquarium, mountain incline cable cars, zip lines, modern art museum, river boats, enough to keep a family busy for a while. Very nice community too. Best vacation I’ve had in years even if we only got to go for a couple days. 12 hour drive from Maryland so two days worth of driving.
 
@jrpoorman

I've been through Chattanooga several times but only stopped once for an afternoon. Was on the way to a wedding and had time. Did the aquarium and was quite impressed with it. Glad the trip was fun and enjoyable and that even if the hotel room wasn't great the bed was.
 
Thanks JayTee. The wedding was up at the Modern Art Museum overlooking the big blue pedestrian bridge and the Tennessee River. It was amazing. Will be going back at some point. I want to see what the aquarium and zoo are like.

LOL!:D

Getting on a plane to Chicago tomorrow. Yesterday it suddenly occurred to me that going through TSA with a catheter/bag might be a problem:
--- do I need a note from my doctor?
--- do I need to make sure it's less than 3.5 onces full ::O?
--- is some TSA agent going to pat me down and freak out? :D
--- when I reach down to pull up my cuff to show them it's just a bag full of pee, is some over-anxious agent going to think I'm going for a gun and shoot me in the head? :eek:

So, I called the airline, and after about 20-30 minutes hold time (not too bad for a major airline) the agent told me it's no big deal: "just tell them you're wearing a catheter when you get there".


I guess it really is no big deal.

One nice thing: I don't have to worry about getting a seat close to the bathroom. :D
 
I love the way you look at the positive side of this - the glass (or the bag) is half empty, not half full!
 
Rick,
Love your post. Good point. I’m guessing they are just wanting to get folks through the line quickly. I would crack up if they said my urine bag was over 3.5 oz...lol.
Would have to drain it in the trash can for them to make sure it was in compliance...lol
