I have to friends that are not incontinent and not ABDL aware and they want to know all the details of being incontinent. I told them I would get back to them about that so I could write and ask the group on there opinions first. I would like to tell them everything but I am not sure if I know what everything is. Here is some of there questions and some of my answers: Q: What is it like to were a diaper? A: I have no answer to that. I am not sure how to answer that. Q:Can you fell your self peeing? A: sometime but most of the time not. Q:Do you ever feel the need to go to the bathroom? A:Only for number 2. but for number 1. I don't feel like I need to go to the bathroom but I am not sure what I feel I feel presser in my bladder when I sit and the moment I get up I fell the presser leave and I some times feel my self peeing or feel my diaper getting wet. Q But, What is it exactly like? What does it feel like vs not being incontinent? a: I am not for sure, What is it like not being incontinent and being able to go to the bathroom? They just want to know and all the details about and I am not sure how to answer I have been incontinent for a very long time now and don't remember much about being continent. I am very use to being incontinent and now I don't want to be any other way. I know that may sound strange to some of you. It does not bother me. But I want to answer my friends questions fully and I am asking for your help? Thanks, Diaper Mike

I get my nappies from xpmedical, Who do you get yours from?

I have had my day diapers on auto reorder for years now. I always get my next order when I just have a few diapers left from the last order. I was wearing abena durring the day and mega care line at night. My night times I did not have my night time on auto reorder. I would always keep a few bags of day times around even between orders just incase something happen. When I get too many day times I would just start wearing them at night. Now I have switched to wearing abena day and night and I have my auto reorder setup for both. My question is how do you handle this? I know I am going to end up with more and more diapers until I tell my vendor to hold off for a week or two.

I run OS X 10.5 on my 17" Macbook Pro , and 2 Mac mini - I have a few servers that run ubuntu and a desktop pc also that runs kbuntu. Now as far as ram goes all systems have a min. of 2GB of ram some have more. And for disk space I changed out the hard drive on my macbook pro to a 250GB. On of my mac mini has a 500GB mac stack firewire case and a raid box with 2TB of space. On on of my linux boxs I have 1.7TB of space on it too.

I probably spend about 1 some times 2 hour(s) a day dealing with my incontinence. I think it cost me between $5-10 per day but not for sure never put the numbers to it. This does not include doctor visits. Most of the time my stress from my incontinence is a 1 now that my family and friends know. diaper mike

For me the weather seams to affect me more than anything the changes from hot to cold. Besides the point. For nights I use megacare line premium and for the day I use abreform-x plus and for a little extra protection I also use tena ultimate pads. I use the wet method for diaper changes meaning I wait until my diaper is soaked before changing. It takes a long time to go to this method you have to train your self for it. In the morning I use a x-plus with a tena pad in it this gives me about 8 to 10 hours of protection. Before I put one on I use lotion and put lotion on all over my diapered area and then I put a little powder on the lotion so that the diaper does not stick to me. Then depending on what time it is and when I change depends on if I put a pad in the megacare line premiums. or if I use another x-plus. I have a hard time sleeping with a xplus on but I have no problems with megacare line, but the megacare lines seam to sag bad if you walk in them after a while thus is why I use two brands one for night one for day and I get the best for both brands. I normally go through 2-4 diapers a day. If I travel and in a car for a long time I seam to drink more water and need more changes. I also keep a diaper bag in my car with enough changes for almost one day. At my office I keep a diaper bag with enough changes for a week. At home I keep enough changes for a month. I buy my x-plus on a monthly auto reorder. my megacare line I buy once a year and buy a years worth I put them in storage I get a discount on shipping that way.

For the bed - I use two protection devices. On is a pad that you can get a wal-mart that goes under the sheets to protect the bed or a protective cover that you can get there too. then I use a pad between the bottom sheet and me. I like to use Priva you can get it from cvs here is a link: http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/deta...32^subcatid=394 That way if I have a problem at night I dont have to change all the sheets and also if I roll around in bed and move the pad from out from under me my bed is still protected. to protection I dont like to use cloth diapers because they require extra care in cleaning all the time so I use disposables and the brand I think is a personal choice I use two different brands one for the day the other for night. I suggest trying some sample packs that you can get from most online shops. I use xpmedical.com they are fast and discrete. As far as the family not ready to admit to the problem. This is a though one. For me I was quite about my incontinence for years with my friends but if one of my friends ever came up to me I would of been very imbarrased at first but would feel more conferrable with them after words and would be more willing to talk to them. I hope this help, Diaper Mike

Have you ever been too tired to change when you need to? Sometime in the evenings I get so tired right before I go to bed and I need to change. When I am that tired there are about only two things that will make me change and that is the smell or if my diaper is just to full. I can't stand a smelly or a full wet diaper to sleep in. One thing I do is that I make sure I have all my lights on in my room when I change because if the lights are dim and I decide to change on my bed I have found my self to fall asleep right after i get my new diaper on but not fully taped on. Then I will wake up in a wet bed, yuk!

I am not always for sure what to say to people. I have learn that it has made my life easer if I let people know I am incontinent, however I find it hard to tell them but after I tell them its easy for me to talk about it with them. Anyways what this post is about is if you are somewhere like some ones house and you need to change. I want to stay there to talk with them. They are friends that do not know about my problem but are fixing to find out. What I usually say after I go out to my car and come back with my diaper bag is ,"I have a medical problem, and for me to stay here, I have to take care of it. can I use your bathroom?", and they say sure and I go and take care of business. Then When I would come out. I would tell them, "I am incontinent and I have to wear a diaper I am sorry that you have to find out this way, but this is a medical condition that I just dont tell everyone. If you have any questions about I would be more than glad to answer them" and they some time do have a few questions and a few time they did not say anything. My question to you is what do you say to people that dont know that you are around when you need to change? Diaper Mike

oh, forgot one other thing, my new friend is also incontinent.

My new years resolution this year was to tell my friends and some of my family that did not know. Well that has been 4 months ago. I thought that telling my friends I would ether lose them as a friend because I did not tell them until then or they would distance me from them. But I was very wrong. What I have found out is that my friends have become closer to me. Also some friends already new I wore diapers and just never said anything about it, they just figure I would come out and say when the time was right. What I have found out is my friends just don't know what to say because they are afraid of how I would take it. So I have been very open to them about the whole matter. Telling my friends has been a blessing to me, before I use to leave them to go and change, It was almost like a full time job just to hide my problem. It seams to me that the stigma of incontinence is all in my head, but there seams to be a stigma with all disabilities and people just don't know how to act with people with disabilities. For years I have been on one side of the disabilities fence and now I am on the other side. Its a strange feeling. So I did a little test to help me under stand how my friends feel. My test was for me to walk up to a person in a wheel chair and ask them, "How did you end up in a wheel chair, I am just curious.". Here is what I found out. The person told me it was a work accident 10 years ago. He also went on to tell me that, "Wow, you got courage to come up and ask me that, Most people would just of stared at me and walked on." So I told him about my disability and I told him that he was my test subject. We both laughed about it and I gained a new friend because I confronted him. By discussing everything with him I have found out a lot. The "Stigma" is a matter of people not knowing what would happen if they ask someone about there "disability". I hope this all makes since. I would like to hear others talk about what they have ran across when telling others about there incontinence. DiaperMike

I am much the same way. but just like rickibrat2 my bladder will some times build up urine then release it now I can feel it when its doing that. This happens a log when I am sitting for a little bit and I get up all a suddenly I feel my self let go with out control. Also sometime when I am thinking about it I can feel the urine in my urethra and it coming out. I can feel it more if I drink a lot of water and the dribbling almost is a stream I have to wear some kind of protection 24/7 or be cath. (and I hate catheters) so I have grown attached to my diapers because of this. Diaper Mike

I have been diagnosed with IC about 5 months ago. I had a bleeding episode a little longer than a week ago, no UTIs though (thank god) . Well last night about 6pm I went to change into a dry diaper. Then close to bed time I was getting ready for bed and I went to change again and I noticed that I was dry. Not thinking anything about being dry considering that thats happen before I thought no point in wasting a perfectly dry diaper and I just kept what I was wearing on and went to bed. About 6am it hit me like a explosion. Bam! I was peeing. My diaper never had a chance It was full and my bed pad was soaked and I thought my penis was on fire. I found this scab in my diaper so I collected it and called my doctor. He got me in right away. He said that it was a scab from my bleeding a week or so ago. It must of block you urethra and prevented you from voiding until it built enough presser to push it out. the scab had irritated my urethra on its way out thus why my penis hurts and it hurts as more urine comes out. He said that will pass after a while. Anyone else have this happen to them. Darndest thing I have ever seen and my bladder hurts to from being distended. The doc said I should of cath my self before going to bed, but I never even thought I had a problem. Diaper Mike

I would like to hear your stories about this. I am incontinent and have to wear a diaper 24/7. Wearing diapers is like an addiction to a drug. My friends and family know I wear diapers but they know I stay quite about it with the public but I do not totally hide the fact I wear diapers, just like a drug addict. I have had to go to the urologist who has me take my diaper off after getting it off all I could think of is getting another diaper back on, I just dont feel secure with it off. Even when I take a shower, I strip and take a shower I feel so unsecure with out them durring my shower. Is this normal or do I have a mental problem?

I was wondering what is everyones favorite wet wipes. I like pampers baby fresh. I prefer to smell like a baby than a urinal. And for the cheap I like to use target brand. But I am curious what is the best wipe out there Diaper Mike

I have a bad habit of sleeping on my side and when I do my diaper leaks at night. If I sleep on my back or stomach I have no problems. What do you do to stop the leaks or to break the habbit? diaper mike

What do you worry about in public about your incontinence and how do you over come it? I worry about smell, leaks and is anyone looking at my diaper. For smell I make sure I use lots of babby powder and lotion For leaks, well I just hope they just dont happen.. and I dont know what to do or say if people are looking at me and thinking look at him he is wearing a diaper. Diaper Mike

For smell. I use baby wipes to wipe my self beteween changes then I let my self dry off. Then I put on some baby lotion this helps with the smell and helps prevent a rash. then I use baby powder. I also keep a small bottle of baby powder with me that way if I do start to smell and can not change I can just apply some more baby powder to help mask off some of the smell. I will also put some baby powder down my shirt to help with the smell. One last thing is that I watch what I eat and drink this also help eleminate the smell of urine. Diaper Mike

I am trying to be more open about my incontinence mainly with my friends and family and some coworkers. I am just wondering how open are you and how do you show your openness about your incontinence. I some times show my openness with by joking about it or saying something that is funny. I always tell my friends that go with me on trips that they need to tell me when to stop to use the bathroom because I will only stop to get gas. Daiper mike

I use the wet method of changing my diapers (wait for my diaper to get soaked). A few methods I use to check my diaper to see if I need to change is to look in a mirror to check or I pinch the diaper in a few places to check. Some time I base my change on how wet I feel or the smell or my diapers weight. How do you check your diapers for wetness? Diaper Mike

I have a problem at nights and I hope you have a solution. I get an erection several times a nite just like many males do. But when you wear a diaper this presents a problem for potental leaks also while having a erection you can not urinate very easly this presents a problem for me as I have IC holding urine for very long become painfull. I have seen some drugs out there for an enlarged prostate that has a side efect of reduced erections. I am just wondering what are your ideas on this? Tanks, Diaper Mike

I like to find places that have private handicap restrooms. theaters do, hospitals, some malls, some gas stations that you have to go in and ask for a key. or just about any medical clinic. Or go to a place that does not look to busy. but I will wait to go home or to my office. Diaper Mike
