John73 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I have been incontinent since I was a kid and to be hones the most terrifying moments I had experienced when I was in my late teens/college because it was progressing and in my late teens I basically totally lost control of my bladder and had to live with my friends in the university wearing diapers 24/7 and trying to avoid any comments and them finding out. It was tough, because I was very scared of anyone knowing about my issues, but they still managed to know, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it will be, actually it was even comforting, when others have learnt about it I felt relieved like I have dropped some heavy stone from my chest.

couche Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Lifelong difficulties, but got really bad and led to diapers being needed pretty well 24/7 about 16 years ago Link to comment
yobrepaid101 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I was born in 1983 with an underdeveloped bladder and wasn't able to potty train at all. Ive worn diapers all my life, so 34 years of 24/7 diapers. Link to comment
Catheterslave Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 At least 15 years now. What happen to your bladder if you leak 24/7? Does it get smaller and drips a lot ?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment

When I have a major wetting episode it is no where near as much as it was say three years ago. What happen to your bladder if you leak 24/7? Does it get smaller and drips a lot ?

Catheterslave Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I used to have accidents when running. Now love wearing and feel more relaxed. I run also in spandex with out dippers and the urine running down my right leg. Some time I use a Foley catheter to show off my catheter bulge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment

340lbbenchpressbaby Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I was fully incontinent until about 7, heavily bladder-incontinent until I was a teen (with some occasional major problems now and then), still mildly bladder-incontinent today. Link to comment
Baby Girl Sarah Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Actually started with " accidents" day & nights as little girl . calmed down up to my early 20 ´s when i got my IBS-Mix Diagnose dealt with that up until id say 5 years back when things began to get worse so had to start wear diaper when out on trips , then roughly 1,5 years ago things went compleatly the wrong way from increasing constantly so now severe Double Total Mix IC Link to comment

Lil Fox Scotty 91 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Moderate issues started 8 years ago, It became severe 3 years ago, and about 4 months ago I gave in and went 24/7. Now it's pretty much total incontinence. Link to comment
fillemup Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I have been partially bladder and bowel incontinent since last summer due to a back injury. I have a ruptured l5-s1 disc and believe more of the disc gel came out during my injury last summer and is now pressing on the nerves that control the bladder and bowels. Link to comment
Newbee Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Officially for about 5 months but I have had issues for years Link to comment
stephrider Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I have episode incontinence for 5 years now. They last 1 to 3 months and between then I can have break of weeks or few months as well. It's very unpredictable. Also episodes tend to last longer and break times shorter by the times. Link to comment

Angela Bauer Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Although I was fully toilet trained at 33 months, according to my Mom, my bladder was tiny and over-active. At puberty in 1976 I reverted to bedwetting. At 21 in 1985 I lost my daytime control. So I've been profoundly urinary incontinent for almost 34 years. Link to comment
jbz2079 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 My urinary incontinence started in 2003 with a wet bed that happened totally out of the blue. Then a few more wet beds and I went to my Doctor. After finding no infection or any other apparent cause I was sent to see a very crap Urologist. This guy was just about to retire and was more interested in telling me about his sore back than my problems. My bedwetting became every night regular and I have always struggled with disposable nappies, they just won't deal with sudden releases of urine and repeated. I was told by some other bedwetters to try terry squares for nightime, the advantage being you could make them as thick and absorbent as needed. I began to get repeated water infections. I would get antibiotics it would seem to clear up only to return a week or so later. After 18 months of my incontinence getting worse and a few accidents during the daytime too. I asked the Continence Nurse if I could have an appointment with another Urologist. This Guy was good, he listened to everything and I explained about the leaking getting worse and the continued UTI's. He explained that as I was now seriously incontinent the chances of a cure was not very likely. I said I wanted to know why I was incontinent as I thought the other guy had not spent much time on examining me. He booked me into an outpatient appointment and I was put under and he had a good look inside my bladder and urinary tract with a scope. He explained to me that I had scarring on my sphincters due to repeated infections and I still had an infection. Also due to long term leaking my bladder had shrunk in size and that was probably causing my urgency and the sphincter damage would cause my bladder to empty regularly without filling. So I was 40 years old at the start I'm now 55 years old and will have urinary incontinence for the rest of my life. I found some great shaped cloth nappies to wear to bed, that helped a lot at night. I also use a condom catheter and leg bag during the daytime that helps my skin cope. I still get UTI's but not as often these days. Type 2 Diabetes helps the incontinence, especially at night. Fortunately it's manageable and does not effect my life style to drastically. I will admit it has not done my love life much good. Link to comment
Constantlywet Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Been incontinent most of my life, on and off, was in nappies full time for most of my childhood, kinda fumbled and lied my way through teens and early adult hood with drinking next to nothing and using women's sanitary towels, then after nearly killing myself though dehydration, I wore a nappy when I knew I wouldn't be near a toilet. Then 6 years ago, my fiance, who is an x nurse, helped me go 247. She helped me get through the concerns of being obvious to the world and now I wear a thick nappy, with a booster and plastic pants pretty much permanently. No-one has ever noticed, or if they have, they haven't said anything. . . . 1 Link to comment

My wife encouraged me to wear nappies and get on with my life. I wear nappies and plastic pants all the time now and if people notice so what. Link to comment
nikkijo Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 since age 12.... cyclical accidents. Now at 38..... 24/7 with minimal bladder control( IF I. Get an urge it's already to late) On 1/7/2019 at 1:18 PM, stephrider said: I have episode incontinence for 5 years now.

That's exactly how mine started.... by age 37 the breaks between was about 4 days with about 4 months of ever worsening leaks. Peaking at weeks of zero functionality so far it only been 7 days of both bladder and bowel before the episode tapers off... but it's getting worsening every cycle Link to comment
