I wore a diaper during the daytime through most of second grade, and was definitely diapered before naptime and bedtime through seventh grade. A bladder cancer diagnosis six years ago at age 31 brought diapers back 24/7. Abena M3/M4 or DryCare 24/7 mediums work well for me, especially when using a size 6 baby diaper as extra padding.

I had great luck with Boudreaux's for about a month and a half...and then I came down with a horrific rash. I wouldn't confuse Boudreaux's with hand lotion...too thick and it stains. I switched to Burt's Bees Baby Creme and Diaper Ointment and haven't had much of a rash since then.
Cheers.

Since my bladder cancer diagnosis. Thanks.

Usually an Abena X-Plus, a size 6 or 7 Pampers Cruiser as a booster and cloth-lined vinyl pants over that day and night.

Glad to hear that you'll be getting what you need. I had to send a prescription and a letter of medical necessity before I could purchase my diapers with money from my FSA. It's great that someone with a medical terminology class under their belt up in Utah gets to read all about my medical condition before making an 'educated' decision as to whether or not I have a right to buy diapers with that money.

Well tis the season to go to the mountains again.
Due to training I pack out everything I pack in..... BUT
I was wondering if cloth backed pull-ups are bio degradable?
If I dig a deep enough cat hole could I leave them or are the non breakdown material?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to leave the woods strewn with wet roll ups.
But if I don't have to pack them back down the trail........
Please let me know your thoughts.
The simple answer is no. Your cloth backed pull-ups are not biodegradeable. Besides, only the first 6-8 inches of soil have the micro-organisms necessary to break down human waste and the like.

heres an artical about it
Yes, I've run across a couple of articles. However, I couldn't find a write up that was detailed in a mainstream scientific journal whose reputation I trust. Botox is still being tested in phased clinical trials. Besides, that article was written in 2002.

PowderWhite,
Although continence advisors/coaches are more common in the UK, they can be found by way of a urologist's office on this side of the pond.

Am I the only one here who seriously doubts that Johnee's "story" is anything except an interactive fantasy? I have a hard time believing ANY doctor, even a friend, would do such a proceedure. More than that, as Jennifer says, he seems to have an unusually large number of "embarassing issues". I suspect the reason he is not posting anymore is because he ran out of "interesting" new fantasy problems.
I agree with Jaina and Jennifer. I'm incontinent due to bladder cancer. I have had more visits to the urologist over the last three months than I care to admit, at the academic medical center where I work, and even I'm extremely cautious and ask more questions with the standard procedures. Despite what Johnee says, any urologist who would deviate from accepted medical practice to perform such a procedure deserves to have their license yanked.

I worked as a paramedic in an Emergency Department for a number of years in a past life. Those pilonidal cysts can be nasty. The smell from them can be much worse. Have you had it drained and packed properly? If not, the antibiotics you're being prescribed won't do anything.
Pre potty trained memories?

I didn't have daytime control until halfway through second grade, so I frequented the school nurse's office for diaper changes. I do remember getting changed a few times by a friend of the family on whom I had a crush. She was helping in the office and changed me while the nurse was busy with another student, who wasn't there for a diaper change. Nighttime control didn't come until the end of my fifth grade year. Sleepovers were few and far between, and I was always diapered before bedtime. Fast forward 28 years, and I have no daytime or nighttime control due to bladder cancer diagnosis seven years ago. I don't want to wear a diaper all the time, but it is the only thing that works for me right now.
