You guys are scaring the bejesus out of me. I've had a number of recent times at work where I've been to the toilet (I wear pullups at work, and nappies the rest of the time), done a wee, cleaned myself up, and am part way through getting my pullup up, and noticed a few drops on my arm, or my thigh. Until recently, I was blaming those drops on just not cleaning up more thoroughly, but those drops are post-void dribbles. Today, I came home from work, stepped out of my pullup, jumped on the potty, did a wee, and sat there after it stopped and felt drops continue to move around down there for a good couple of minutes - more post-void dribbling. I'm really curious though about the ones where I do a wee to completion, then 5 minutes later, do another one that is the same or more volume than the first. FYI, I'm a girl, suffering from stress IC, bladder urges, urinary strictures... Have been 24/7 since late August, and see a lot of my IC experience of what yas talk about in this thread and the "fully continent to fully incontinent" thread.

Ok, getting back on topic, girls in nappies rule! * We don't have to worry about whether our pee is going shoot out the top of the nappy * There's no unsightly bulge down there * Looking down and seeing the front of the nappy totally saturated elicits for me, a really babyish feeling of oopsie, and total childish embarrassment! Reason is that it's so hard to get urine to flow up toward the top front of the nappy. * Sexy as hell

Hmm.. it seems my original post got cut off by the forum issues a few weeks back. Anyway, thanks for the welcome. Yes, I've had a few issues myself with long flights. Went overseas recently, and ended up having to change my knickers at the destination airport, as they were damp/wet. Not from a wetting accident, but just drips and leaks over time. Even though I'm DL, I'd not once thought to wear either pullups or nappies... When I came back home, I ended up quickly going 24/7 using pullups due to those leaks, but at work. Female pads weren't cutting it any more Now, I'm flooding most of the time, so nappies it is at home, and pullups at work (because i'm too afraid to wear nappies at work due to logistics). I went to see an urologist recently about the spotting, and also increasingly slow flow issues. I initially thought it was an enlarged prostate, but that's now not the case. My urologist diagnosed stress IC, strictures, and OAB. I've now a history of strictures. After the original SRS surgery, my flow was strong, but all over the place, including outside the toilet bowl. So 6 months later, I went back for a bit of revision surgery, and to have an urethral dilation. That fixed the flow issues. My spotting started a few years ago, and for a while now I've been having flow issues again, this time with slow flow, with bladder spasms. After surgery on Thursday, my urologist stated I had strictures again, that they did a dilation during the cystoscopy exam (I was put under GA for it), and that my urethra size is max 14fr (which seems quite narrow). She even mentioned that it looks like I'll need an urethra reconstruction, whatever that means. I was very tight before the cystoscopy. Post the recent dilation, my flow seems a bit stronger, but the releases I can't stop or slow mid-stream. I'm also finding I'm getting a bit of post-void dribbling too which can last almost as long as the main release. As for UTI's, I haven't had any *touch wood*

Hi all, It's taken a bit of courage to subscribe here, delurk, all that. I'm 20+ years post-op, and going on most of 2 years now I'd been urine spotting into my knickers.
