deewet

I have worn Gary active wear PUL pants over my night time diapers (tena super)for some time now, but have occasional leaks typically around the top when I have a really wet night, and need that extra leak protection. As a result, I just got some of the Gary high waist diaper covers, and tried one out last night. I was surprised to find the same situation when I rolled over after wetting on my side early in the night. Latter on, I wet on my front without any leakage, as well as on my back, but was really surprised to find my night shirt wet from a back leak early in the night> Any suggestions to avoid this other than to go to all cloth, which I am hesitant to do because of all the laundry necessary.

I can say from first hand experience, that this answer is accurate. You see, I have a small member that is typically retracted and causes exactly this to happen. When I am sleeping on my back, if awake and feel myself wetting, I can feel it passing along my butt crack and if I have already wet, will often cause a leak at the back top of my disposable diaper. I have had several leaks in this area and am currently waiting on some high rise overnight plastic pants from Gary that I hope will stop the leaks that have occurred onto my bedding. I do better sleeping on my front, but not always find myself in that position when i wake or roll around when in bed.

Daniel will probably get introduced to these as well soon enough

opps, leaked out the back of my PUL cover and got bed wet again. Guess I have to try some high back overnight diaper covers to keep wife happy?

For me, I started dribbling first during the day time in my late 50's, and got a rude awakening while traveling and ended up with a wet pants, on a plane, and also once getting off a plane but not quite into a terminal bathroom. Found out that when not near enough to a bathroom, I needed better protection than the "drip pads" I had been using for some time already than. Night time bed wetting started a couple years ago after an evening of celebratory drinking, which ended up with my first real bedwetting experience. Wife was not happy but I promised I would address it and since that point, have tried several products prior to ending up with what I use now, some Tena Super's with a good waterproof pantie over that. I now know that on trips longer than an hour, I must also wear some heavy duty pull ups just to be safe as well, and have had to use those as well on several occasions. The point, since my urologist advised me that my incontinence issues would probably get worse some 10-15 years ago, they have but I have been able to deal with the issues as mentioned.

Rolled over this morning and looked at the clock, and as I did this I felt my previously dry diaper get soaked, so I just got up for the day, got some coffee and came down to my computer. Not very many days when prior to a morning shower I take a dry diaper off, but most nights it is wet middle of night, rather than just prior to getting up/

Very interesting series of events taking place here, but there are a few unanswered questions still, like is Nelsons Family involved in more ways than just being a large financial partner, and what happens when students go to option B exactly, and what happened to Mark/Mary when sent to the butterfly ranch?? Lots of side stories to work through before this is finished it seems??? Very interesting and compelling reading, and fantastic effort of the author!

Before I quite traveling for business 6-7 yrs ago, I had several instances of wetting my pants while traveling, once in a plane and once in a busy terminal trying to get to a bathroom. That was the tipping point for me after which I always wore protection when traveling away from home more than an hour or so. Walking out of a plane or through a busy terminal with a big wet spot on your jeans is not my idea of having a good time! Trust me, a good thick pullup or diaper is a far better choice, even if you do have to walk or even waddle a bit with it wet, it is much easier to avoid the stares of fellow travelers!

As a daily overnight user, I experienced my first Diaper Rash early this summer, that was after more than a year and half of overnight experience. It certainly was not pleasant and carried on for a couple of weeks to some degree before it completely went away. As I result, I am a firm believer of diaper rash cream, the Zinc Oxide 40% variety on a daily basis as part of my evening diapering routine. Worth every penny of the cost, and any time used to get it on!!!

A point of clarification is in order here I believe. A pullup can mean many things, as there are the generic style designed primary for those that dribble a bit, but there are also choices available that are much different, designed to manage most bladder voids, but typically only one. They are about as expensive as some reasonably good tape on diapers, which are usually capable of managing more than one bladder void but carry the stigma of being a DIAPER Of course, from there we get into the large capacity diapers, but that is another discussion, and a much higher cost. The economics are typically that the premium diapers are designed to go most of a day, and replace multiple changes of the other choices, IE at three times the cost of other choices, its a wash if you can wear all day and avoid the multiple changes, but keep in mind, these are also harder to conceal, especially when well used.

Freta B , made an interesting point, that I would never have thought of "Even if someone noticed it or questioned it I wouldn't get upset about it. My response to it would depend on what was stated or asked." I would never ask a question like this amongst a group of seniors, as to me the answer is apparent--we wear because we need to! My point in all this was that in most cases it is very difficult to notice that someone is wearing during the day, unless it is an extreme case and generally those folks are not very active any longer. The active older adults now have products that are very discrete and can go about their lives with little care. Another point Freta made was " I wear long tee shirts not tucked in" which is good advise to keep in mind, especially when doing an active sport like bowling. Myself, I always wear a long tee under my outer shirt that I keep tucked in for the same reason, I don't want my choice of underwear to become exposed, as the panties I use to hold my day dribble pads are not for public display!

When I got up early this morning, and was waiting for my coffee to warm, I also warmed my diaper only to find it was almost to the leaking point so it truly was a very wet night!!

The problem I find is as I am used to using disposables, it is difficult to sleep in wet from the start cloth diapers which I would like to start using in bed.

Last night was the first time in forever that I used cloth diapers for bed. I used two cotton diapers with a soaker and a couple pair of plastic pants, one snug and the other a larger Leakmaster Deluxe. Just to be safe I also put a pad down on my bed as well as wanted to keep the promise I made to my wife to not wet "her" bed again if I could use proper protection. While watching the Mon Night football, I had several beers and some water to boot so was well hydrated when heading into bed to give these diapers a real test, in addition to using my diaper once prior to. Guess I am too used to disposables, as I had a hard time sleeping with the already wet cotton diapers, and was rolling from side to side throughout the night, but was surprised to notice that every time I rolled over, my bladder added more to my diaper package. Early on I took notice of this but as the night went on, I was only aware that the diaper was warming up again as I rolled over. This morning I had a completely soaked and very heavy diaper package, but the inside plastic pants did the job, as nothing was found in the second layer of protection or on my protective mat. I have been thinking about switching to cloth for night use as I have great laundry equipment, but will try this again another day to see if I can get used to sleeping in cloth diapers again and if I can get my wife to go along with the idea as she needs to sleep as well.

Little Pigl hit the nail on the head for many of us here!

Have been active in a seniors bowling league for some time and as I always wear an icon drip pad in my panties, I often wondered how many of the others I bowl with also have to wear protection of some sorts. Yesterday I confirmed my suspicions after inadvertently noticing the top of a ladies Depends or something similar as she was bending over to do up her shoes. After that and now knowing what to look for, I started to look a bit closer at some of the other older gals that were near me as they bowled, and as I suspected, most were well padded if you knew what to look for as I now did. Should not have been surprised, but the remaining question is how many of the guys are also wearing dribble absorbing underwear??

I would bet that that belt was a real mess after that first "accident" and how it could be cleaned without being taken off?

I remember hearing the clock go at 3am, and rolling over already wetting my diaper but the next thing I remembered was waking about 5:30 with the need to go again, so got up and by the time I went into the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee, I had soaked my already wet diaper, so here I am now, sipping my coffee, and deciding if I should change it now or wait a bit more???

I remember a time in 3rd or possibly 4th grade that while we were out playing on playground on a late cold fall or early winter day, I thought I could hold it, went down the big slide (it was very tall at the time) and really wet my pants by the bottom. The nuns at the time that were teaching us, took me aside, back into the school, and up into a separate room where I had to remove my pants and underwear, was given a pull on pant that looked a lot like a girls pair after being wiped down with a wash cloth by the nun, and had to sit and wait for some time while my clothes were hung to dry over a large heating radiator that was in the room. I remember how long I had to sit there reading from my book to one of the teachers, while in this smelly room away from my class, waiting for my clothes to dry so I could wear them again and join the class. No teasing was allowed, but I suspect that there had been a few more of my class mates that had to deal with this over time already, and probably felt sorry for me?

I wear diapers nightly, ever since having a wet bed incident several years ago and promising my wife I could avoid it going forward by using proper protection, so we agreed to me using what was necessary to avoid the laundry for her. I started with pullups, but had some close calls, so went to waterproof pants over that, and soon moved to full size supper all night diapers. So far, only a few damp leaks in the morning since. Shortly after that progression, I realized that tossing a good diaper (not so inexpensive any longer) in the morning was a waste, so started to roll over at night when needing to go, and simply using my diaper and going back to sleep as opposed to the mostly dribbles prior or the rare starting to go before I woke enough to get out of bed and off to the potty. Got more sleep as well avoiding the once and sometimes twice trips to bathroom at night. As the months went on, this became so much easier that these days I sometimes feel my self wetting only after it is well underway and probably soon will not even wake to notice that? Not sure if this is my enuresis getting worse or my simply getting used to being in diapers, but in any case, I am sleeping better and that counts for something.

Interesting situation! With all this nutrition, poor baby will be a soggy stinky mess in no time, but will he turn into a pudgy wet pooper, or is his growth limited in this universe? I would thing mommy would get a little "irritated" at some point with this constant attachment??

When I get out of bed in the morning needing to pee, the moment my feet hit the floor I am going, and it doesn't stop when I walk into the kitchen to get my first cup of coffee. Since I started to wear diapers to bed about 1.5 years ago, if my diaper is not wet when I wake up, it almost always gets wet when I get up, and once the process is starting, doesn't stop till my bladder is empty.

My wife (also in her 70's now and wearing pads all the time) told me a few days ago that she slept poorly as she had to get up 4 times to use the potty. I told her that maybe she needs to wear diapers to bed like I do and she just said, no way, not yet anyway as I can still make it to the potty on time? One day I may tell her that most nights I still wake up before I wet my diaper, but roll over and fall back to sleep quickly. She will probably be converted to diapers after she has to change her pad in the middle of the night a few times as she does during the day?

When I get up in the morning, if needing to go, the moment my legs hit the floor I go, and it doesn't stop when I walk into the kitchen for my first morning cup of coffee

I too notice that stale odor smell of my night time diapers, if I have wet early in the night. On the other hand, if I wet within an hour or two of getting up which is most common, not so noticeable. So far my wife has not said anything, but it was at her urging that I get diapered each night prior to bet, so even if she notices as I do some times, doubt she will mention anything
