I have overactive bladder and urge urinary incontinence due to some minor nerve damage. Many mornings I wake up with a dry diaper only to wet it as soon as I sit up to head downstairs to the bathroom. Now I keep a urinal next to my bed so I can roll over and use it when I wake up and need to urinate. During the day, I usually get some warning, but it may be only ten or fifteen seconds before my muscle contractions overcome my ability to hold, so I wind up flooding my diaper anyway. I wear pull-on cloth diapers and plastic pants 24/7 to avoid embarrassment and for the security, confidence and comfort that they give me. I’m able to stay dry much of the time, but need to be diapered all the time because I never know when I’m going to have a major episode. I was too embarrassed to tell my doctor about my incontinence for many years. Finally I did, and went through a battery of tests. I tried Ditropan XL and Detrol LA, but the dry mouth side effect was too much of a problem (it can cause periodontal problems too). The drugs helped, but weren’t 100%, so I still had to wear diapers all the time. It reduced laundry, but that’s about all. I just buy my jeans a couple of inches larger than normal and no one seems to notice my diaper bulge. I’m just glad that since I have to wear diapers, I enjoy wearing them too!
