Thankyou Dolly: You are right. I have been honest in telling everyone I deal with urgency and use diapers to protect myself from accidents. I think people are glade that I do take a great deal in protecting myself from the wetting by wearing good thick cloth diapers and plastic pants. People do not notice the extra size in the waist untill you tell them. But if you do not keep yourself looking dry and smelling clean no one will want to be around you. Just like you might not want to be around someone who smells and is messy. One of the ways is to buy products from a manufacture that specializes in making them for adults. The company I use ( Comco) ( in South St Paul. Mn. ) listen to my sugestions to, and even will custom make the waterproof pants to special size for me as one of my legs is small and the other is normal. To give myself added protection they make the leg openings to fit me and have lengthened the pant so it will rise higher behind my back for sleeping at night. I use a plastic pant that fits the diaper snugly then I put the larger pant over that one to guard against any slight leakage at night. And I sleep on my back which really helps with protecting the bed. ( And my marriage ) I am also insulin dependent diabetic and that does not help with my need to wear diapers. I must admitt that I have learned to enjoy wearing the cloth diaper. I hope johnee tries thick cloth diapers as that will save him some money. Use the ones that are made with the terry cloth thick padding for best absorbson. We all should thank him for sharing his story. I hope everything turns out to his satisfaction. So much infromation to share but not enough time tonight. Good night and god bless you all

I find it much easier to tell people that I have had a problem with incontenence, urgency, they don't ask how and you do not have to tell them why. You just say that you need to wear diapers ( weather you need them or not ) the only person who knows the truth will be you. Everyone else will just feel sorry for you and except that you wear diapers to protect yourself from accidents. All my family and some friends know that I want the protection of diapers. My wife excepts that I am incontenent and that I use good products to control accidents. No one wants to hang around someone that is leaking or smelly all the time. Make sure you use good products and do not worry about the buldge. I use Comco Cloth double diapers with there new vinal-rubber pant, ( they also have a plastic pant too, that I sometime might wear over the rubber type pant when sleeping to make it easier for me to slide into bed and to keep the rubber pant from being pulled down during the night) . sometimes I use the contour cloth diaper with a extra diaper doubler. Prices are not high like the other places for diaper lovers. . They make items for people with real incontenence that work. I have had my problem for 20 years and like cloth for protection, and enjoy the cosey cotton feeling of them. My problem is not as bad as johnee and I thank him for his honesty and sharing his experience. He is doing everyone a LARGE favor for sharing Thank you Johnee. P. S. Johnee I also do not worry about people noticing the buldge as I buy my pants Blue jeans etc.. 3 sizes larger to hide the buldge, and the cloth diaper buldge helps hold the pants on as they rest on top of the diaper. Try putting a molicare on and a cloth diaper over it to give it support and to absorb any leakage too. When traveling. You just have to face the fact that cloth and a baggy pant is better than a wet looking pant. I have several ideas to help you if you need them. GOOD LUCK..
