There's a heck of a lot of stuff on sale this Christmas...on-line and off...kind of a sign of the times, I think.

The estimate is that 40% of men over 50 have lower urinary tract symptoms of some kind -- as DailyDi notes, prostates will do that!

The trouble with Trump is that he doesn't force the democrats to come up with better competition...can you believe Hilary Clinton and zero security hygiene with the e-mails?

Do *not* allow yourself to feel ashamed of needing diapers, for any reason!

And where did you purchase your instillagel?

Um, A man, a plan, a canal -- panama A "tunnel plug" might be your friend.

I see lots of good advice and stories on this thread.

That Duette Catheter looks like a really good idea...no sharp points to poke.

A couple of points here.

Bladder ultrasound is pretty routine....the coupling gel is just a bit cold!

Having played with an E-stim unit recently, these are now on the shelves in drugstores.

My you are impatient, XenonVoid!

You know....you could just ask her how she looks revealing something like that! Beyond that, you should tell her "so what?", or tell a mutual friend.

How about these words/euphemisms for diaper: MAG (nasa -- Maximum Absorbency Garment) Padding Protection Incontinence Pants (as used by Futuro, circa 1975) Protective/absorbent underwear Waterproof pants And of course, brand names: Depends, Attends, Molicare, Abena M4s, Bambinos, etc! (But not Poise--that's garbage!)

What should you do???

Umm, why an "app" versus simply a mobile version of the site that worked well on those tiny screens?

By working on the definition of the word "fetish", I think we are ignoring its connotations. which involve others having fetishes but not ourselves.

Elfking: Some of us *enjoy* discussing ideas, even if they are only going to only go so far in the short term.

To be honest, the problem is that it needs a solid sample size of people who are entirely and totally honest and willing to open up about stressors. I see that as difficult to obtain. Rosalie I don't think it's easy to find people who are honest with themselves about their stressors, even when they are generally open and honest. It's just too close to the self and the self-image, me included! Having said that, I think the question is more of whether stressors are positive or negative. Spark puts it well...he was focussed in a very positive way on his health, and it pushed the regression aside. Now, he is stressed in a less constructive way, and he needs to regress more.

Rosalie Being "right" matters quite a bit to me...but, as an engineer supporting people in the field, the "right" I chase is the actual truth of a situation -- I can say "it sounds like X", or "Y would explain that", but I also invite people to prove me wrong. I don't think it is the abuse or depression that raises the standard of posts here on DD, although both of those things are all-too-common amongst DD members.

spark In my personal experience, stress increases need for things like comfort...and therefore I would expect regression time.
