Well, let's see here. Under the sink in each of my bathrooms, in my car, in my desk at work, and in a bag that I have with me most of the time.

In my case I leak non stop. More like a dribble, but I do flood laying down or getting in/out of a car.

The Dry24/7 are the best extended wear diaper out there in MY opinion. They are the best for night use so that you dont have to worry about getting up to change. They do hold a lot, and I mean a lot and the more a diaper holds then you have other issues with being discreet so they are a bit more dificult to hide for day use. I recently flew across the country and I had no issues with leaks at all, and I went almost 9 hours. But remember to wear clothes that hide an extended wear diaper.

I personally have had a pretty good experience with the Loma Linda Urology Dept of the VA. They can not seem to locate the cause of the problem, so that means I have gone through many, many diffeent tests. The latest diagnosis is neurogenic bladder. They know that since my accident I have been completely bladder incontinent, and partial bowel only with sciatica flare ups (the most pain I have EVER experienced...ever!) As far as getting my supplies from the VA, I will pass. They will provide me some low quality diapers that are way more trouble then they are worth, so I just get my own. Now, if I could get the Attends with waistband (3 tape ones) for day use and Secure X-Plus for night/extended wear I would be extremely happy!

Yup

I think incontinence feels different for most people. In my case it is a result of a motorcycle accident and I have what is called nuerogenic bladder and partial bowel, and that means I dribble urine with no sensation that I am leaking at all. Depending on how much I drink depends on how much/fast I leak. I think it is really wierd, because no matter how much I squeeze my muscles it has no affect on my leakage. As far as how it feels well, it feels like nothing. Except for making sure I monitor how damp my diaper is, there isn't much else to it. Now when I was told I had to wear diapers (at the age of 27) I was both mad, and extremely embarrassed, that was until I had my first accident in public, then I couldn't be caught without wearing one. It was simple with me, I am more affraid of having another accident, then I am of wearing a diaper.

Nullo, and Shower to Shower powder, and you are good to go!

I selected "other" as for me it is the heat, and sweating.

Hey Bobby, First off as a former Marine, how are you not being medically discharged due to your issue? I have seen many Marines medically discharged over much smaller issues. I deal with the Loma Linda VA Urology on a pretty regular basis and they usually do their best to take care of me (note that I said their best). Semper Fi, Mike

I wear in public everyday. No biggie, you get over it real quick!

When I have been in relationshisp I always let girl know that when I tell her that "I need to make a call" that means I need to change. Or if she wants to make sure I don't forget she will ask if I missed that call, and nobody thinks anything. But that is code words only when we are around people.

I don't have control, and been that way since 1997. Bladder is no biggie, it's the other that's hard to deal with!

It my experience it can range from the simple ultra-sound to see how much urine your bladder is retaining to having a camera put inside you via your urethra (and YES it hurts!). My advice is to do all the test one time, and after that don't do them again. I have issues that don't fall into the typical catagory so they label my incontinence as a "neurogenic bladder". Good Luck!

I agree completely with you. Why correct them, if thay want to call it something different, so be it...who cares? I personally don't see the logic in trying to correct a Doctor. They just want to be politically correct, that's all.

My urologist calls them "protective undergarments".
