I have been Incontinent for a couple years now when it comes to my bladder. I have to wear 24/7 due to that problem, and I have gotten used to it for the most part. The one thing that I have always stayed away from was pooping in my diaper. I've had a couple accidents when I've been sick, but never really did it on purpose. The other day I was out running some errands and I had to poop really bad. So, for some reason I just thought "Why not". I had to go so bad at that point that I didn't even have to push much. I just tightened up a little bit, and ended up taking a huge dump in my diaper. I was standing up when I did this if that's any indication as to how easy it was to do. The thing about it was while I was in the process of pooping...I wet myself pretty badly as well. This isn't unusual for me, as I often pee at the same time I'm pooping anyway. I have to admit that aside from the panic of having just pooped my pants in public...it felt pretty good. I had to get changed asap, but it felt pretty good. I've always tried to keep my diaper wearing in the realm of medical need, even though I do like them. It's more of a "well I'm stuck with them, so I might as well like them" approach. I just wondered if anyone else had any experience with a situation like this. I had gone for years refusing to just go ahead and poop in my diaper, and then worry about changing, becuase I thought it was kinda weird. I don't need diapers for that reason, so I didn't use them for that. I have found over the past week though that just going ahead and pooping in your diaper and then changing is quicker. Especially if it's already wet. It saves me from having to take it off, do my thing, and then put it back on. I don't know. I just feel kind of odd with taking this approach, and using a diaper for something that I don't need to use it for. So is it a matter of need or pure convenience?

I don't really care if people notice. I have changed clothes as well as my diaper in the locker room at the gym many times and people see me. I think the most embarrassing day for me was at a doctor appointment. The doctor knew about my problem and all that stuff, but I had never had the nurse that I got this day before. She came in to check my blood pressure and all that stuff and then lifted my shirt to check my breathing. She saw the waistband of my diaper sticking out and asked me if I had notified the doctor of my problem. I told her yes and she then checked my chart to see if it was on there. When she found it she asked me, "Are you wet right now?" I told her that I was a little wet, but nothing too bad, and then she asked me, "Do you need me to change you?" I said "No, I've gotten pretty good at doing it myself." Not a bad encounter, but it definately made me feel uneasy. I know she was just doing her job, but I get annoyed when people assume that becuase I wear diapers...I am unable to function without assitance. Which couldn't be farther from the truth. I mean I go to work everyday and hit the gym every evening after. I don't have a thing wrong with me other than the fact that I was born with an enlarged colon, and that eventually caused nerve damage to my bladder. I do all the things that normal 24 year old males do. I work out, I date, and all that stuff. Just becuase I wear a diaper doesn't mean that I'm horribly disabled in some way. The way I see it...it's no different than girls having to wear pads on their period. No one looks at them strange. Which brings me to the topic of finding girlfriends, but I'll save that for another really long post.

In my case...I wet pretty gradually throughout the day. I'll go from driibble to gushing. I have nerve damage to my bladder because of an enlarged colon.

I live in the Raliegh area as well and you can't find anything here. I just order everything except for depends. I wear tranquility slimlines most of the time.

I have been using depend fitted briefs for about 3 years now. I was wondering if anyone else noticed that they bunch up really bad when you walk around in them for a while. I have switched my daytime diaper to tranquility slimline becuase of it. I still wear depends at night, but I just can't stand them during the day. They are great if you're just sitting around, but they really don't perform well if you walk or move around a lot. The crotch area bunches up bad enough that when I have an accident they just leak, becuase the liquid isn't hitting padding fast enough. Just runs out the sides. They work great for me to sleep in though. I think it's because the diaper is so thin. There isn't enough padding between the legs to maintain shape. I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed the same thing.
