As for Medicare Advantage, since retiring I’ve tried both traditional Medicare (without a supplement) and a zero premium Advantage (Aetna). So far I prefer Advantage in that it’s proven easier to use and in total cheaper than traditional Medicare. Both fall far short of my pre-retirement company sponsored PPO.

Additionally, because reimbursement rates are lower under Medicare than company private insurance providers tend to favor their non-Medicare patients. Reagan was right – https://www.google.com/search?q=i'm+from+the+government+and+im+here+to+help&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS869US869&oq=i'm+from+the+g&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgBEAAYgAQyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQABiABDIKCAIQLhjUAhiABDIKCAMQLhjUAhiABDIKCAQQLhjUAhiABDIHCAUQABiABDIHCAYQLhiABDIHCAcQABiABDIHCAgQLhiABDIHCAkQABiABNIBCTEzODYyajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:ed4f4c3f,vid:nCedOQJ0ZEA,st:0

Granted, but a cloth diaper and plastic pant over a disposable contains the vast majority of leaks. I wear and like the combination. Disposable minimizes odor. Most nights disposable doesn’t leak hence no laundry.

Yes, knowing how much bedwetting means to me she supports and encourages it but can’t relate.

To my thinking your 16 out of 31 for March after only 7 months of un-training is outstanding. Congrats. Don’t know about month to month, but with continued commitment I‘d wager your 2025 bedwetting will far surpass this year’s. Thanks for the update and welcome to the club.

I’m with you on “best night”. Unfortunately the best is not that common here with “I am woken by the urge to pee, but when I check my diaper, I'm already wet from an earlier wetting when I was asleep.” is more the norm and in fact the case last night. Not complaining, anytime I fall asleep dry and wake wet with no memory is fine by me.

Yes, but it’s different for you. Your bedwetting is the result of a medical issue. You can’t help it. Nobody can or at least should judge you for a medical problem. None of that is true for me. Whatever … it’s a beautiful day, I wet in my sleep last night!

For nights only (bedwetting) it’s the same here with one exception. Downside is living in fear of someone outside the wife discovering my secret.

Yep, I’ve reached the point I wet when not wearing. As for nights, I now wear every night so diaper or not is not a factor. But in the beginning I seemed to wet only when diapered. That was the case till it wasn’t. Days I have decent control wearing only when I think there’s a chance of an accident. So a couple weeks ago I laid down for brief nap. Having not had anything to drink for hours and just emptied my bladder I thought there was no chance. I was wrong! Like they say, be careful what you wish for. No regrets here.

Our postman, a good guy, has a game he likes to play. Encountering me when delivering a package he’ll try to guess the contents. Other day he held up a not that large opaque bag. Turning it from side to side and squeezing he said “bra or knee pads, knowing you I’d say knee pads.” Right, color? “Black.” Right again. Thank my lucky stars diapers come via UPS or FedEx rather than parcel post. If not I suppose I could claim they’re for the wife. She’d appreciate that!

Diaper during the day is not high in my list of kinks. Humiliation for wetting is. Anyway, more than once as “punishment” for wetting the bed wife has “made” me wear a wet cloth night diaper in public under jeans. Pretty sure nobody noticed while teaching me a lesson I’ll never forget.🙂

It’s improved some but still in my ninth year of every night wearing/wetting I often wake early having wet in my sleep with the urge to urinate again. But then again growing up a bed-wetter it was much the same.

If you’re in the States and are looking for decent absorbency at a reasonable cost I recommend Abena M4 or L4 hands down. Could be double, not sure, but in my experience Abena’s hold considerably more than ATN’s. Amazon currently sells M4’s by the case (42) delivered for $1.57 plus tax. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004O9GJ2G?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

And I thank you for brightening my day with your adventures in plastic underpants.
