My experience with urologists is not great. I've had incontinence issues most of my life, but as I got older, it got worse. I have diabetes and seems that urologists don't bother exploring incontinence issues in diabetics. I've seen probably 5 urologists over the years, almost always in diapers. One would think that anyone serving a community of people that wet themselves, they seem to think that diapers are not necessary, pills fix everything. Not in my experience. I also don't think they put themselves in your shoes. A 1% chance of wetting your pants is not acceptable risk. In my case, it's 80-90% chance of wetting and because I have diabetes, they say, how's your sex life? That's not great either, but they seem to be in a hurry to put you under the knife to fix ED and they could add a urethera valve while they were there. No thanks.

In reading the incontinence desire board, I find the stent and catheter threads interesting. I guess the people that do these things really want to be incontinent, but I sure wouldn't want to be incontinent like they are getting. I am incontinent and have been for years, but I don't constantly dribble like these people do. I guess that is the only way to feel like you have no control. I don't constantly dribble. My sphincter does close most of the time, meaning that my bladder does hold some urine. I don't have any sensation of fullness and my sphincter opens when it feels like it, but I can change my diaper without major cleanup and I can take a shower without peeing constantly. I really hope these people don't think that what they are striving for isn't very realistic. I'm sure there are some that have stuck open sphincters and I feel sorry for them, but there are many degrees of incontinence, urge being very common. I guess that's what I'd call mine. I sure had lots of issues before I finally went 24/7. Now I'm content and enjoy life much more than I did in the past.

Before my wife died and kids weren't gone, I always wore pants over my diaper. Seemed like a respectful way to not display my "fun"(even though incontinent). But in last many years, my dog is the only one who lives with me. As best as I know, he hasn't blabbed to anyone, so I go around in diaper and t-shirt. Up until last month, I always wore clothes to work but I have since retired so now the only time I put real clothes on is to go shopping or sometimes taking garbage out. I actually have taken the garbage cans out with only diaper on, but that has been late at night.

I chuckle now and then. I have some all day activity where others struggle to find bathrooms to relieve themselves. They must think I have an iron bladder. The truth is I'm very far from iron bladder, I just have very thick premium diapers with booster. I can go all day without a change. I always bring a change if needed, but rarely need it.

The thing you need to understand is patents are only as good as you are prepared to defend them. Many startups discount patents because patent defence is very expensive. I would concentrate on putting together something that can show your idea by way of video. You could maybe fake it but make sure potential investors understand that. Then go to Kickstarter or indeigogo and make your case. The best cases make a good story in video so video production quality is very important. There are companies that help in that area, they take a % of the take but might be worth it. Don't focus on your patent. You might be happy about it but no one else will care. Make a good story and sell that.

Wow, guess I'm unique.

I recently purchased a pair of tykables snap crotch jeans. I decided to wear them today as my daughter and her husband came down to visit. We went out to get lunch and getting into the car, several of the snaps became undone, leaving a major gap in my pants. I tried to resnap my pants in the store and they didn't line up. My daughter noticed that my pants had leg snaps and asked if I needed help. As it turns out, my daughter have birth to my granddaughter 2 weeks ago so she is very familiar with onsies and snap crotch clothing. I can't imagine what they are talking about on their travels. "Dad must be crazy, did you see he had snap crotch pants on ". We didn't get into the details but it was humiliating. They know I wear diapers, but have no idea what else is going on. [emoji1]

I think there are many things that should not be lied about,

I'm on Medicare but haven't heard anything about whether they pay for diapers. Commercials on TV imply that medicaid pays for incontinence supplies but they don't say anything about medicare.

From what I've seen,

A great discussion. I found "There's a baby in my bed" to be a very interesting book. I'm a dl with incontinence (I wasn't careful what I wished for :-) ) but found the whole idea of regression and age play very interesting. I've tried to see is there are any ab tendencies and as best as I can figure, there are none. I'm not totally certain how this all started but I remember wetting my pants at an early age and liked the feeling. Diapers didn't cone into the picture until college. All through my adolescent and teenage years, I often found myself in wet pants but I never associated it with being a baby. There probably was a sexual connection back then but in my 30s it became a comfort thing to wear diapers. I felt comfortable wearing diapers because then I didn't need to worry about wetting my pants. I've had times where going 24/7 was a comfortable way to establish stability in my life. But over the years, I've become increasingly incontinent to the point where I'm now happily dependant on my diapers all the time. I still have no ab tendencies.

I'm 6'4" and weigh 260 and fit into mediums.

I'm in San Jose
