    It would be nice it they sold a size between Large and X-Large, I have a lot from Haian, and there is a huge difference between these 2 sizes. . If you use them to cover up leaky disposable then I would say use the size you would normally use. But if you want to use them for cloth the next size up would definitely be a must. Just my opinion.

    Spot on! I bought some XL and they were huge, so I wrote and told them. They sent me 3 pairs of L free of charge, so they get 10 out of 10 for that, but the large ones are just a little tight. A size between L and XL would be perfect.

  2. I was born in 1949 in the UK, and have one picture (I look a few months old) in a big thick nappy but no plastic pants at all, mind you the nappy was very thick! My sister was born in 1958 and she had these http://www.paddi.org.uk/paddi-garment.html. They were the first semi disposable nappy system which consisted of plastic pants and a disposable cotton wadding. I was transfixed by them but they were too small for me. After about two years old my nappies disappeared and I don’t know what kept me dry. At night  I just had a plastic sheet under a cotton sheet and woke up every day soaking.

  3. Golden rule ... wife goes to shower first, reason ... I try to wear my terry nappies at all times so there is a nappy bucket in the bathroom (no we don’t have three!) nappies get rinsed in the shower in the morning by which time they can be a bit rank ...  comments have been made and the can of air freshener held at arms length through a crack in the door released. As a small aside, when in New Zealand we live on an island with no running water, we collect it from the roof into a tank, as it has been a bit dry recently I have a bucket in the shower to collect the first (cold) shower water for flushing the toilet with. So this morning was fun fighting nappies plastic pants and the damn bucket. 

    i am very lucky as lovely wife is very accepting of the nappies, even the ones with pooh bear print, I parade around the house in nappy and t-shirt with alacrity and plastic pants of course.

    Oh i have no goal of regaining control at all. I prefer leaking above muscle complications.
    He'll have to cut a wider section out of the upper half because it is getting a bit stiff from possible scar tissue and do the same on the lower half.
    This way I will be completely unable to fully close the sphincter. I really was getting tired of these muscle spasms and now when I am voiding, both controlled or not, I can feel that the upper half is no longer contracting while the lower one is painfully overcharched (nerve impulse) and contracting heavily.

    I’m impressed that you have such good knowledge of what they are doing and the outcome. when will they do the next op?
    So there you have it, Woelkchen-2018, incontinence is sometimes a drag but better than the pain from sphincter muscles or as a consequence of prostate cancer.  Incontinence is not the end of the world but would you Choose to have it....... entirely up to you!

  5. Ever since my prostate operation I tell any (relevant) medic, I am not sure the dentist would be interested! Friends know I have had the operation and they know the consequences, they probably know the contents of my back-pack as well. I am happy to discuss it with anyone that asks/is interested. The thought of incontinence terrifies most men,  information can ‘soften the blow’.

  6. When I was nine, my young sister arrived, and as all parents seemed to congregate in the park and discuss things like nappies I used to sit close by and listen. One of the mothers used http://www.paddi.org.uk/history.html and I would watch transfixed as she changed her child’s nappy. How weird is that for a 9 year old boy bedwetter, longing to be put in them!!!! I just woke up in a wet bed every morning, mother would stand me on the toilet seat take my wet pyjamas off and wash my bottom and then give me pants for the day, never nappies.

    anyone else?

    Well the surgery went really well!

    They cut a V section out of the upper half of the sphincter, I had little blood loss and now no pain. I dribble or leak small amounts every time I move, but the bladder can still hold quite a bit, he said he wanted me to have a chance to still retain some continence. But because I was so pleased with how it went I insisted on having the other side done later. He said "fine by me, you're the boss" xD

    Excellent, kincade, it sounds like a good outcome. I have great respect for our medics (except for the one that did my right hip!) you will probably get more continence back as time goes on. Muscles need to repair and be re-educated etc. Pain is so debilitating. 
    all the best for your recovery. Greybird

    I'm actually going to the hospital on monday for surgery to be "cut incontinent", took me many years to get this, but given the alternatives the other hospital proposed (a catheterisable stoma) I prefer having a spincter resection over that.

    I can no longer live with the pain and discomfort from damaged sphincter nerve and catheterisation, spasms, not even being able to void at all.

    I'll see the world through a different view next week, but it is my decision, wether it be good or bad, I must live with it, I see no alternative.
    One thing I learned though is never to give up hope, for the future is not set, and one day things might change, and for me, it will on monday!

    I hope the operation went well, no operation is good news, but if it removes pain etc. and gives certainty then it should be a good thing. Let us know how it goes.

    all the best Greybird

  9. I enjoyed nappies 24/7 for the last 5/6 years. I have been to some degree an AB or DL all my life and wanted to be nappied. At about 60 I was getting urgency and frequency problems and that was my excuse to go 24/7.  As oznl said, he still has background daytime continence, I was the same. I knew I could hold it but not for long. Last October I was told I had prostate cancer, I was just 70, fit, good diet, not overweight (well maybe a little bit) and active. It was quite a shock actually. I had it removed (just in time as it turned out) and I am now incontinent. My surgeon tells me I can regain continence if I do the exercises more often, but where before I had two sphincters doing the work, I now have one. The incontinence is different, poor willy (who is reduced in size and cannot get erect   ...   yet) drips continuously and if I manage to hold it, it will not be for long. 
    So,  what is the difference, what have I lost. Firstly, I cannot walk around in the nude. After morning shower, I have to put on a nappy straight away and don’t forget the plastic pants (terry nappies preferred here), then I cannot wear swimming trunks, they will be wet before I get into the water, so it’s shorts at the beach. I have to be aware of how wet my nappy or pull-up is if I am out and about, is there somewhere to change and if I have a pull-up on, is there space to get my shoes and trousers off, no? Then I carry with me a spare pull-up and a tabbed nappy, Tena slip or similar so that I can just rip off the pull-up, put on nappy, all without disrobing. Am I smelly, don’t forget the wipes! Etc. Etc. Etc.

    Oddly enough I am not sure I mind. I love my life and am now cancer free. If the price of that is incontinence then so be it. Inconvenient? Sure but a price worth paying. Will I try harder to be continent again as my surgeon says I should? Ask me in another six months time, at the moment I am happy.

    But I have digressed from the original question. My advise without doubt is that if you are becoming incontinent, go to the doctor asap. There are many nasty reasons why you might be incontinent, you need  to find out if any of those apply to you before you resign yourself to wearing very expensive, inconvenient and environmentally unfriendly nappies.

    Just my two cents worth!

    The upside is the wetness doesn't spread too far when your nappy leaks. I have a washable bed pad under my flannelette bottom sheet which keeps me warm when I leak and the wetness doesn't wake me. 

    Maybe it’s an English thing but I love my flannelette sheet on top of my plastic mattress cover. I still like to feel the plastic sheet as when I was a little boy. Now I have one from Henley’s Medical, they are quite thick plastic which feels great. https://www.henleysmed.com/products/mattress-covers-protectors

    When you have the best economy in the world it is hard to throw stones at it but some still do.  When the lower paid workers are making the most gains in wages, it is still not enough to keep some from down playing the business that is providing those wages.  When we as Americans have the most disposable income to spend on anything we choose, many still don't understand how fortunate we are.  

    When we as a country accept the largest amount of immigrants annually no conditions set on existing wealth, it is hard to accept criticism from some in a part of the world that sets high standards on who can enter their country, based mainly on given amounts of wealth, or high levels of education. 

    Granted we have blemishes as well, but overall, our moral and standard of living here in good old USA is still something to be proud of, our ability to excel based on hard work or better ideas than the existing, make us stand out in this world and I, having traveled most of the world for years, would never want to live anywhere than where I am today!

    You make some interesting points, but your country accepts immigrants without qualifications because a great part of your very successful economy relies on them. I will declare that I am not an America-file, I had some wonderful experiences there when I was young (on location in the film business) but recently I had experiences where people were so rude and angry that I have been put off returning again. So you may have a very successful economy but at what cost to your way of life. My last visit was when Obama was the chief and he put out an edict for the staff at the tourist venues (airports, hotels etc) to be better behaved toward the visitors. It is nice to hear that you are proud of your country and so you should be, but each country has it’s own identifiable values and they may not be money based. As the Beatles said ‘Money can’t buy me love’.  Please accept that I mean no offence to America, there are some great things and people to have come out of America, I am just not sure that Amazon is one of them. 

  12. It is such a dichotomy! I hated wetting the bed as a child, my mother took away the nappies when I was 2.5/3years old so I just wet the sheets until I was 12. I had a plastic sheet which barely covered the mattress, so it got wet often and smelled, probably terrible to most, but I began to love it. I knew I was a failure to my parents (as well as being very dyslexic which was unknown in the 1950s) but I craved love from a cold mother so began to wet the bed for attention. At 10 years old I asked for nappies as I was not getting a very good night’s sleep, but she turned me down, so I just carried on wetting the bed. Now I’m 70 and have just had a prostatectomy so nappies are compulsory, I feel a bit guilty now because my surgeon says I should be gaining continence, but my dl side says stay in nappies, it’s legitimate, so I have decided to take my time with exercises and stay in the nappies. At least I have an understanding wife who does not mind! I still love the crinkly sheet on my bed, the smell of the morning nappy and that lovely feeling of a nappy and plastic pants caressing my boy parts.

    This is such a great question, CJ. When I was a chronological boy, I tried too hard to be "all grown up," and my family encouraged me in that in what I now can see were unhealthy ways. It cheated me out of my childhood. So it wasn't until later in life that I realized what I had lost and how much I craved it. When I was in college, I remember associating my interest in writing with being a child still -- that my imagination was child-like. But the deep desire to return to boyhood probably began about 10 years ago. Not only was it a matter of recognizing that I had lost my boyhood, that I had sacrificed it in order to meet the expectations of others, but I also realized how much I still was a boy deep down, and how much I was happiest when I was living and behaving like a boy. Toys. Coloring. Adventuring. Reading boys' books. I decided at that time to do all I could to make my life match these desires and inclinations.

    Paul

    This sums up many of the thoughts I have had, especially the trying to please others aspect. I was a bedwetter until I was 12, never a dry night and I knew I was a disappointment to my parents. I am also dyslexic (which was almost unknown in the 1950s) so a very low achiever. My greatest pleasure as a kid was riding my bike to the local park in London where we lived, where I would stay all day on my own in my little boy fantasy land. I made good in business but still retain my childish/creative needs for toys and nappies. Funny old life!

  14. I am way passed working age and always worked for myself, so probably not the right person to comment, but I hate the ethos. In the UK all our local high streets have closed because everybody shops online, they sanitise the shopping experience. I do all my research at Amazon and find where I can buy what I need then avoid the thing. Sorry Bezos but you don’t need my cash.

    Thank you for sharing.  It's nice to know people are interested to read.  Your recent life experience of clinical incontinence colliding with a lifetime of ABDL inclination would be a very, very interesting tale for a lot of people wondering what a "cure" looks like...

    I am not sure I believe in a ‘cure’ for being ab or dl, I wasted far too many years worrying about it! As for a cure for the incontinence, my surgeon was disappointed that I had so little control after six weeks post op. I did not tell him that I was not really trying, rather letting things take their own time, if they wanted! He told me pre op that as I suffered from urgency and bedwetting, I might never regain my continence. He was very surprised when I told him I did not mind! In many ways I quite enjoy the incontinence. If anyone sees my nappy, I have a ready made excuse and I can always cry ‘medical need’ if said nappy is about to leak in a difficult location. No, my only new problem is estimating how long a nappy will last. Right nappy for right time as well as working out which of the damn disposables doesn’t fall apart when I am active, ggrrrr very frustrating. On the plus side I do have a very supportive wife who is perfectly happy to see hubby in a nappy. I feel for you on that score.

    The one year update...

    It is 12 months ago today that I pulled on a cloth diaper and plastic pants before putting on my shorts, nothing usual there.   The fact that I had been diapered only a couple of days previous was also not unusual as I had  rejected the maritally-tolerated nappy rationing system imposed upon me some weeks earlier.  What WAS unusual was that this day’s diapering had no specific time or date set for conclusion.  With an absence of fanfare suitable for such an obscure and curious endeavour, I went “24/7” as the ABDL vernacular goes.

     

    Despite a 4-week sabbatical in March driven by a combination of spousal promise (real) and operational necessity (perceived), I remained diapered for the next year.  I am still diapered today.  Accordingly, I will disregard the inconvenience of that short break and issue a “one year” update:

     

    So, how’s it been?

     

    First up, I’ve been surprised about just how persistent my obsession for using nappies has proven to be.  There have been some fluctuations here and there with respect to the overall level of enthusiasm but there has been no point over the year where I seriously considered just not bothering with the next change.  My odd preference has proved neither episodic nor ephemeral but rather a kind of a psychological constant for which nappies are a therapy, not a cure.

     

    Secondly, after spending a year in them, one gets VERY good at managing their nappies.  Initially, the logistical and social challenges associated with planning for work, travel, changes, rashes, leaks, odours, disposal, privacy etc. seem overwhelming and mistakes do get made.  Over time, routines and experience take the sharp edges of these barriers and we learn to navigate around them.  Things do get easier but it can be a surprisingly expensive hobby.

     

    Thirdly, in terms of marriage, I still have one although having one spouse unilaterally decide to wear (and use, if only mainly for wetting) nappies cannot exactly be described as a marital tonic.  Our sex life which was already suffering under my flagging capacity and enthusiasm, has deteriorated further to be nearly non-existent.  On the face of it, this appears to be by mutual, tacit consent and to be fair to myself, the advent of her own menopause may also have been of ineffable agency here.  It may also have oddly helped that an unrelated familial crisis did occasionally relegate this one of my own making, back into second place.  After one year, she has learned not to see selected items, to avoid me at certain times in the bathroom, not to waste too much emotional energy with censure and NEVER approach the lidded bin in my study.  Cordial social discourse has returned but I don’t push things.

     

    Fourthly, I should make comment on incontinence, the ABDL stalking horse for permanency.

     

    It hasn’t been a “12 month guide” scenario for me but then again, I did not specifically seek that.  Although I have not consciously exercised bladder control to any significant extent for at least the last 9 months of this year, I am fairly confident that I remain with usable, if less-than-pristine daytime continence.  There have been the odd unauthorised drips and dribbles.  There are also likely some questions of reduced bladder capacity and increased urgency but fully evaluating these outcomes would require an effort at practicing continence that I remain curiously disinclined to make.  Suffice to say that after 12 months, I’m awfully good at effortlessly wetting my pants: anywhere, anytime.  I suspect that if taken out of nappies, I might wet my pants simply because I wouldn’t think in advance NOT to but that’s not loss of control, that’s forgetting to control.

     

    In sharp contrast with the experience of others however, night times are a very different scenario.  I seem to have fallen off a plateau of simple habituation toward in-bed nappy wetting and have drifted with accelerating velocity towards waking up wet in the mornings with little or no recollection as to how this happened.  If for some reason, I needed to come out of nappies quickly, during the day I am confident I could, with care, do so just so long as I stayed close to a toilet and thought about things.  At night at this point, I would continue to wear a nappy as a precautionary measure as I simply no longer trust myself. 

     

    Fifthly, I’ve actually lost all my grown-up underwear.  It appears that like socks and pens, left to their own devices, underpants disappear, as if organised by some remote escape committee, in order to make their way towards a refuge-planet in accordance with Douglas Adam’s theory.  My “underwear” drawer became a full time “plastic pants” and compression pant drawer back in April.  For the life of me, I don’t know where my underpants went.  I thought they were in the bottom of my nappy hamper but an archaeological dig the other day suggests otherwise.  I eventually struck wicker but not polyester/cotton.  They have fled.  I wish them “bon voyage”.

     

    So, here’s the big one, the metaphysical elephant in the room so to speak: am I happier?

     

    This is surprisingly hard to answer.

     

    Like any year, it’s had ups and downs.  Unlike any year, there have been other familial crisis.  It is therefore to be expected that I did not spend 12 months skipping through a soft-focus field strewn with rose petals but nor did I spend it in the dark smouldering fugue that was November 2018.

     

    I have regrets.  What I do is not normal and it exacts a toll on my spouse as well as me and imposes some limits upon what else I can do and will do.  I may be making irreversible changes to myself.  For example, I have become a some-times adult bedwetter AND I remain curiously undisturbed by this development.  That’s two potentially-irreversible changes for the price of one.

     

    On an upside, I’ve met a lot of interesting people: it seems that our small “.alt” world is skewed toward the intelligent and the thoughtful.  There are a number of people on this forum (and if you think you might be one of these, you probably are) whom I would like to integrate into my mainstream life as friends, if only I could think of some way of doing this without having my wife convinced I was trying to organise a gay sex orgy.

     

    There is one other positive that still holds true today: I still can’t get it out of my head that what I am having here is some kind of extended “holiday”.  As I ruefully consider that my rather-comfortable night nappy has been on rather a long time and I really need (for the sake of the furniture) to take it off, I then have that small happy consolation that instead of taking off my nappy, I’ll simply change it and carry on.   I’m still on holidays.

     

    That still makes me happy today.  The thought of NOT being in a nappy makes me depressed.  I’m always in a nappy.  Ipso facto, I must be happier.

     

    I’m thinking about writing an alternate 12-month guide for the more lackadaisical 24/7 diaper enthusiast such as myself.  The working title: “The Tourist’s Guide to Twelve Months in Nappies” if people are interested.   Maybe I could even get it made a sticky post.

     

    As usual, Oznl, a most insightful  post. I’ll just add a couple of observations of my own, especially on the incontinence front. I decided to go 24/7 some 6/7 years ago and like you I loved it. I felt oddly fulfilled. It was the culmination of over 40 years of desires/needs/wants to be in nappies, which caused turmoil in my poor adult brain. I have always had a small bladder and it never grew, so nappies were the rationalisation. I have been a bedwetter almost all my life so that never phased me. Fast forward to prostate operation and compulsory incontinence. Pre op, I did have some control albeit with urgency, post op, none. I now have to plan how long one nappy will last, will it be discrete, will it be seen and do I care, which is the most comfortable especially when wet? What to do at the beach? My point is, it’s different, there is no longer any option, no going back. Do I mind, no, not really, it’s now just down to better planning.

    If we're talking moderate exercise as being reasonably active in the day doing normal things, walking around, work in the garden, up and down a ladder, a BetterDry will actually hold up far better than the Molicare premium slip maxi.  An assisting factor is that I usually wear some kind of compression stocking over a PUL waterproof over the nappy (the waterproof manages leaks, the compression stocking manages visual discretion, noise and gravity).

    If we are talking about a gym session, I haven't found ANY tape-on-nappy yet that can reliably withstand say 15 minutes on a cross trainer wet.

    Despite my shape, I actually go to a gym around 3 - 4 times per week (I have the figure of a bear but I'm useful at moving furniture).  In the early days, I tried to leverage a last 45 minutes out of my day-nappy by leaving it on for the gym session.  Each brand had its own particular method of demise in this scenario.  With the BetterDry, it seemed to be gravity.  It got saggier and saggier and before long, I was constantly hauling it back up to stop my nappy disappearing from my crotch to reappear at my knees.

    With a Molicare - all the padding would head on down to the basement of the garment and there'd be a padding party under my perineum leaving the rest of my crotch quite wet.

    These days I will either simply go nappy-free for the 45m or so (that's still an option to me although I'm by now well aware of a need to pee towards the end).  Alternatively, I will wear a sacrificial pull-up for gym.  The pull-ups seem able to cope with the action but they're not much good at coping with pee.  I've found their rated capacities to be hopelessly optimistic for the 2 hours or so for gym/home/dinner/night nappy they are ok.

    If I find my dependence progressing further, I'd make pull-ups for gym an "always" instead of a "sometimes" thing.

    Interested in your thoughts on that difference.  Prostate problems are on my horizon and there is a strong family history.  BPH is the most likely and I suspect I might already be there a bit.

    I could do without prostate cancer but a TURP is more than likely at some point and apparently, for a while at least, it has a similar effect.

    I'd imagined that since I've tried to stay relaxed 100% of the time, leaking in very small volumes fairly frequently, there wouldn't have been much difference between my experience now and the one I'd probably encounter post-TURP but I'm always up for a bit of enlightenment from somebody who went down that road before me.

    Thank you Oznl, I have been trying to evaluate what to wear and when, which will hold most and which falls apart the quickest. Decisions decisions! I do like the pull-ups but the interminable problem of having to take off the shoes and trousers for a change is hard. I travel with a spare pull-up and a Tena ‘ultima’ just in case I am confined to a space where a semi-disrobing is not possible. The only trouble with the Rearz is that they are very thick, but as I shall soon be on a 26 hour flight from Lhr to Akl, via HK, it might work well under a more roomy trouser!  I have time to learn. 
    On the prostate thing, just get it checked. A PSA might not be seen as accurate, but if you have it done regularly you will have ‘bench-mark’ from which to work. You are probably right about a TURP being more desirable than prostate removal, but they are very different things, neither desirable!!!

    Right now to find some Better-drys’. Thanks Greybird

    Sorry to describe it so poorly,I have tried to teach that to alot of guys and many don't understand that if you can use this method on guys with no ability to feel with awareness anything but climax ,it will certainly be helpfull to guys with feeling .no it doesn't hurt at all unless your pads aren't making good contact because then the electricity is to focused .also if you want to save money on electrodes there is an adhesive and conduction gel in one called Tensive that allows you to reuse pads almost infinitely, don't be afraid to experiment with settings , it can't pull your penis off and it's pretty individual what feels good, great or you get spunk on the ceiling , it's like when you discovered masturbation in your youth ,touch feel experiment until you figure it out .
    And by all means spend a few extra bucks and get a device with programmable memory then when you figure out a winning combination you can program it and be discretely completely hands free pleasuring yourself for hours " edging" until you push another button and relieves that congestion .

    Hi Cruiser, It does sound good I shall give it a try. I have the ‘stick-on’ pads you suggest so   .... watch this space. Ha! Pull my penis off, there is not much left of it after this operation, definitely no ‘spunk on the ceiling’ though, sadly. It’s weird though, whilst I cannot get an erection (yet) I can orgasm, it’s just dry and ... different, but still pleasurable.

    Thanks Greybird

  18. Hi Oznl, We have had many cleaners over the years and all have had the nappy display to deal with and most have been positive. My wife had a high powered job in London city so I organised the domestics. I have been changed by two of our cleaners and one, who was a great seamstress, made me some nappies. If I felt like  it I used to walk around the house in t-shirt and nappy with plastic pants and only had one who was uncomfortable with it, so I covered up and hid the nappies, but with all the others I told them I needed nappies and they were fine. I never pushed the subject, rather just left the evidence (clean always) lying around. With one I discovered she had cleaned out a wardrobe and reorganised the nappies and plastic pants and on another occasion, when I was working from home, I went into the kitchen to find the lovely lady emptying the washing machine and shaking out the plastic pants. There was one who would bring her daughter in holiday time and I would cover up and there would be no evidence of the nappies, respect always. They ranged in age from 30s to 60s.
    People are much more broad-minded than we give them credit for, cleaners, like hotel staff, see stuff!!! For most it is all just part of looking into other peoples lives, temporarily.

    You are aware most Psychotropic drugs have or are anti cholinergic or anti muscarinic in some form including anti depressants, and long term use results in inability to fully empty your bladder .Regardless of prostate health your bladder can be screwed and no longer capable of fully draining as a adverse effect (i never did anykind of drugs but dont tell my bladder ,i think its enjoying the every 4 hour catheter life LOL)and it's daily feeding of Flomax .

    Sounds like a pretty good outcome to me.  Will you bother with the exercises they give you to regain continence or just allow yourself to remain incontinent?  It's hard to be sure but I suspect I'd just do the latter and roll with it.

    It’s a bit of a conundrum! There is a big difference between choice and reality, but I am enjoying it, so I might well take my time over the exercise regime. 
    On another note, Oznl, i learned today that Better-drys are the same as Rearz or was it Crinklz, do you find that they ‘fall apart’ if you wear them whilst doing moderate exercise? I find the wadding just disintegrates and becomes uncomfortable after three/four hours, especially when wet. Would you let me know. Thanks

  20. Definitely, I know my father wet the bed in his youth, but I don’t know to what age. I did not have a dry night until I was 12. I think he was sympathetic if a bit frustrated! I hated the wet beds after nappies were taken away, and at 9/10 asked my mother for nappies. She turned me down, buy then I was a fully qualified abdl!

    No prostate sounds like a boring life

    Not at all, firstly, I am alive! Prostate cancer kills huge numbers of men. Secondly, I am in nappies and no longer need to hide them, thirdly, I am 70 and don’t want to father any children. So the onlydown side is trying to ‘rehabilitate’ my manhood into providing some pleasure again.

    I was a bedwetter until my mid-teens. My parents seldom had me wear diapers, they thought the cold wet sheets and blankets would encourage me to stop bedwetting.   I actually did HATE bedwetting as a kid, the wet bedding would wake me up, and I'd lose a lot of sleep, moving around the bed all night, trying to find a dry spot. 

    I started wetting the bed again in my mid 20's, and I've been a bedwetter for over 30 years now. The difference now as an adult is that I'm always diapered, usually in thick cotton diapers and plastic pants. I sleep good now,  since a warm wet diaper is much more comfortable  than cold wet bedding.

    Could not agree more, I hated the cold wet bed at 3.00 in the morning, which went on for years. I asked my mother for nappies at 10 years old but was turned down. Boarding school was not easy although the wetting slowed to once a week, the school were very understanding and I shared a dorm with 5 other bedwetters. I put myself back in night time nappies at 20 (dating was not easy) and 24/7 at 64. So much happier now even without my prostate!

  23. I’m going through a big change from needing nappies for my psyche, to having to wear nappies because I am now incontinent after my prostatectomy. The good news is that all my friends know that I have had this operation and know that one of the consequences is incontinence, so when I turn up with my nappy-bag everybody will probably be very embarrassed but me for whom it will be perfectly normal!  
    I have to say that the day I gave  up the binge/purge and just resigned myself to wearing nappies was a great day. I found it exhausting worrying about wether I would get habituated and would nappies loose their attraction/feeling, yes, it is different but I have never lost my feeling for nappies even now that I have to wear them. They still feel great.

    I’ve had an erratic and slowly increasing PSA for 20 years with exams every 6 months.  DRE’s and biopsies find nothing, but it’s still worrisome.

    Not necessarily by the doc below, there are many performing it.  But if it were me I’d look into robotic surgery.

    As long as they find nothing that's good. Have they done MRI scans/biopsies? But I understant your concern.

    On the robotics, I have heard good things about it. I think my surgeon is going to do the open surgery style, which he says is just as good (he has to cut less!) and recoveryis the same. I'll tell you in a few weeks.

    Internal rostate massage is very enjoyable and may well lead to reduced prostate problems from congestion and blockage of the ducts.  I also believe that cycling once thought to cause erectile disfunction, is benefical to the function of the prostate due to the external massage while cycling

    Not sure about the cycling! Those seats look like they will damage everything down there!!!
