I haven't had a "pants off" moment with my primary care physician in a few years - he's not very proactive. That may cost me my life someday, but, it takes the pressure off. Checkups are quick and painless. He's been my doctor since I was a teen and is WAY past due for retirement, so I suspect he has a gambling problem, or hates his wife. My plan for a while has been to wait him out, then get a new doctor, and at that point, say to Dr. New that I've had an overactive bladder for years, went down some conversational roads with my previous doctor, visited a urologist (technically true, although it wasn't for OAB), and that I've decided wearing protection is preferable to some weird catheter contraption or taking medication with side effects, end of conversation.
Last physical examination had no pants down. I found that odd and asked the doctor why I didn't have to strip. She said "We don't do that anymore."Darn!!!

Thanks for that very helpful advice. Since I buy from InControl fairly often, I'll check there first unless you beat me there.

Why not choose a diaper as normal underwear? Add it to the other underwear offerings. Just because it's called a diaper doesn't always mean you have to treat it that way.

I need a new paci. I would like one that's not orthodontic -- just good old fashioned type. I don't know a good place to go for this. Can you help?

Retrain? What the $$#% does that mean? It seems that you should have control barring other issue.

Not sure who else does this but when I'm out in public I try to impose a 3 wetting limit. If I'm at home I will try to maximize capacity but it never ends up that way. I am sometimes pleasantly surprised when I can get 6 or 7 wettings into a high capacity diaper without leaks.
I am cheap and try to get max mileage out of the BeterDry's. Didn't happen today. Overwhelmed the front and it started leaking around the front of both legs. Back completely dry. Something's happened to these things but I don't know what. They don't seem to work as well as I remember.

Hell no to the boosters and any other crap they come up with.
Except for UTI's I don't get sick that often and when I do it goes away fast. Doctor says I'm unusually healthy,

If you're constantly leaking like me, your dick is always exposed to a warm, wet environment which is a breeding ground for bacteria. This is something I'm fighting constantly. Using a booster pad can help by removing/replacing when appropriate. Otherwise it's a constant battle with antibiotic cremes, salisylic acid (which works very well) and antibiotics from the doctor when all else fails.
There is no easy answer for this question.

I was annoyed too because then I suddenly knew I’d have to drive all night now to get to the interstate location we were moving to.
Then I realised that the desert side-track I had turned down was undulating with dunes I had to cross that were made of bedding and pillows. I remember the relief when the van didn’t get stuck in the first eiderdown-valley.
Oh yeah, of course. I suddenly remembered my nappy.
“It’s not sweat, it’s my nappy, I need to change it” I replied tersely, vaguely annoyed at her fussing. I had a bicycle-powered van of my household goods to pedal across a terrain of bedding to escape the desert that had terra-formed around me and arrive and my interstate destination by the next morning and frankly her interruptions weren’t making this life any less complicated.
Wait... That wasn't real? Huh?

A while back I complained that they switched our garbage service from use-your-own-cans with twice-weekly pick-up. To one uniform can with once a week pickup.
As expected one can has proven not to be enough for little family and the extra trash that incontinence/ABDL creates. Tomorrow is trash day and the can is already full, and we have a bag waiting for next week, and could easily fill another bag if we empties all the household cans today.
The city has finally relented and will let us get a second can, but they are charging $120 for it! Going to be tough to scratch up an extra hundro.
This is grossly indecent but you could just add it to your neighbor's can or let it pile up until they pick it up like they do in the big city.
I had a similar experience where the neighbor routinely adds to my pile despite objections. They always have some lame excuse.

When Crinklz V1 was discontinued and V2 introduced. Not to say the original version was superior, but the original print was certainly superior.
Can you be more specific? I started wearing the Aquanauts quit a while ago. I thought it more fitting than the Astronaut print as I'm swimming in pee.
On 10/31/2023 at 11:51 AM, DiaperboyTrav said:I'm glad to see some talk about this, as I noticed the same thing about my last couple cases of BetterDry. A BetterDry with a northshore booster has been my overnight diaper every night for years, and I've definitely noticed a change in capacity recently. I could usually stay in this diaper through the night and into a good chunk of the next morning, but lately I'm hitting capacity as soon as I wake up. I had the sense something was different about them - it almost seems like I accidentally got the capacity of their newer BetterDry Day diapers, just packaged as regular BetterDry - but wondered if maybe I had an isolated incident.
BetterDry is my daily driver. I have not noticed any change except for my output which has gone up substantially. Seems to hold the same, but I'm filling it faster. It has 4 pees in it and still has room for more. I feel the need to push it to the point of failure.

They're still great comfortable thirsty diapers, but I don't appreciate if they remove capacity without reducing the cost to the consumer.
Isn't that normal for everything? Reduce size or quantity and charge more?
Haven't really noticed any capacity change myself, but that's not saying much. For the first time ever, I completely overwhelmed a Better Dry more than I ever have. It soaked the bed pad and my shirt, but the pad saved the day. The onesie and the pad went immediately into the washer. I never had it this bad and made such a pee mess that I ended up in the shower and hosed down myself as well as my ever present plastics. Wow. I don't know what caused so much pee.

Sometimes you don't have an option and are automatically enrolled when you buy that house.
That happened to me and couldn't escape as it's popular in the communist state of Michigan.

I'm curious. I thought Abena's were cheaper than the Northshore's, or is it the supplier's cost differential? I find Better Dry to be an exceptional value, especially from XP Medical. Is that just me or what?

Here's a weird suggestion and works extremely well: Salicylic Acid 2% by Clearasil. The doctor says it's essentially strong soap. It has become my main tool for fighting diaper rash and maintaining healthy skin. It really works well and has replaced all my other lotions and cremes. It's like the best stuff ever and not super expensive.

Steve Wet has it in a nutshell
I would only add the obvious, as an adult "If you leak any amount of urine beyond your control you are incontinent." That was from a professional and is a short and to the point qualification!
Exactly right! ANY involuntary loss of ANY amount defines IC/.
I've said it hundreds of times: You DON'T need to qualify for IC as it cannot be measured. If you want to be IC, then you are. No pre or post qualifications needed or necessary. Your statement makes it so. Own it and stop obsessing over it.

Since they're Leakmaster, I assume the legs/waist are covered and are 6 mil. Hope I'm wrong.

I'm enjoying my new, *slightly* lower weight category; it's making some of my correctly-sized clothes back into slightly oversized clothing again, which of course is the wardrobe trajectory of choice for the chronically diapered. Case in point, I slept in a Critter Caboose, woke up barely damp, threw some jeans on, and took the dog out, whereupon I ran into a neighbour who was out for a walk with his kids. I had no hesitancy in raising a hand and saying good morning, or, walking to the end of the driveway to pick up the newspaper, whereas if I felt like I was wearing leggings over a diaper, I'd have seen them walking towards us through the trees, and fled to the back of the house out of fear that my rotund lower half would give me away.
I also had another "this is the new normal" conversation with my family last night. I was saying that we needed to get more small trash bags for the kids' bathroom, because neither of them are "kids" anymore. My eldest is away at school, but my youngest throws a plethora of items in there, everything from Q-tips to makeup wipes to feminine hygiene products, to pull-ups, that are best delt with via bagging - we'd run out of a seemingly endless box of lightweight, small bags we had that were perfect for the task, which left me finding myself holding a trash can upside down over a garbage bag, trying to shake a Q-tip out of the bottom that was glued down by a glob of some cosmetic product.
For some reason, my wife decided that this request for more small bags was out of line, briskly stating that they weren't necessary, and, anyway, why was I emptying the garbage in their bathroom - my daughter should be doing it - AND, in fact, she should be emptying the garbage cans everywhere in the house.
I cleared my throat. "Um, I do it because the kitchen bags always have room in them, and, uh, that's where I empty my diaper can."
Wife: "Well, her trash can has diapers in it, too - why can't she do it?"
Daughter: "PULL-UPS, mom, pull-ups."
Wife: "Whatever, she can do it."
Me: "My diapers are, uh, a little more of a responsibility than hers are. Sometimes they weigh as much as a bag full of dead raccoons. I will keep emptying my diaper can. Final answer."
I have no idea what her objection is to just getting...
Have you tried Hippo Sacks? They run $.03USD/bag and can hold 1-2 diapers. They work really well and buy 1000 at a time. Can't get more economical than that. You wouldn't have to buy then again for a couple of years. That might please your other half.

A leak is going to happen, its just a matter of time. With plastic pants you have an early warning system in place to warn you when your primary protecting starts to fail. While I prefer to change before a leak happens the plastic pants have saved my ass more times that I can count.
I think plastic pants is such an old phrase. There are so many new materials available these days for diaper covers. I love to explore them all.
Vinyl/plastic have stopped many a leak which kind of sucks as pee is not a friend of vinyl. It 's like Henry Ford said: You can have any rubber pant you want as long as its vinyl. There is no other kind.

According to XP Medical, my supplier, they're here to stay. Works for me.

In Michigan there is no rent credit. The only thing you get is screwed and you're supposed to like it.
Property tax keeps going up so you can pay the left wing teachers to indoctrinate your kids.

I wear plastic pants over my diapers all the time. At home and when out and about. That extra protection makes me feel safer. I also love the crinkling noise when I walk around in a quite setting.
Me too. Though, I don't know the difference between vinyl and plastic, although some have made the distinction in the past.
So many years later and it's still the same. Vinyl seems to be harder to get now a days.
InControl has killed off all but three of their plastics: white, pink, and clear. So sad. I bought a dozen whites. They're pushing PUL. I don't care for PUL... it's just not the same.

I haven't told any of my friends.... im too scared too
Firstly, I did not know that assessing one's underwear choices with others is even a part of the discussion or required in any way.
Secondly, relationships are not usually based on one's underwear choices.
Should it ever come up, it is something that requires little or no discussion and is passed over with little attention or explanation. Only you care more than they do.
So, forget it. Pay it no heed.

What is your average monthly expenditure on disposable diapers, cloth diapers (incl washing costs) and plastic pants?

I'm interested in your Better Dry experience. They seem to have changed lately but I can't tell exactly what that is. It seems to be less stiff or thinner as it seems like they're leaking more.. It could be I'm peeing more too and just don[t know it. Is there any confirmation of these observations?
