Advice for concealing diapers while visiting friends and family

[Kshin02]

I am new to bedwetting lol. I have only found myself at risk of regularly wetting every night recently in the past 3 or 4 months. As a child I only wet once or twice a month until I was 12 so I never even worried about staying the night anywhere. In a week I will spend 4 or 5 nights sleeping over at a friends cousins house. My friend knows a little about the bedwetting so I don't have to worry there. But I'm not sure how to dispose of the diapers at his cousins house with out someone seeing them. I plan on wearing wellness brand pull ups or tena overnight for discretion. Does anyone know of a solid colored ziplock type bag I can use to toss in the trash? should I stash them in my back pack most of the week? I'm just completely new to this experience.

I just double bag mine in nappy bags and take them out side and dump them in the bin. No one has ever commented.

First, do the people you will be staying with know you will be wearing diapers to bed?

[Kshin02]

They will not know about it, and I aim to keep it that way because if a certain someone finds out over there word will travel. I usually do that when I crash at my friends house with grocery bags. However, I might be sleeping in my sleeping bag on the floor of the living room or maybe camping out back. If I'm outside in my tent it won't be an issue. But if we do sleep in the house I'm afraid of getting in and out of the bathroom with a plastic grocery bag discreetly to a bin. If anyone sees me and asks what "that" is I don't know what to say lol. I'm not too ashamed if I have to explain myself, but as I mentioned if word gets to someone who may be near by then then my friends whole family will find out because they won't be able to keep it secret. I'd just rather get any insight from people who have had to be discreet before trying to just do what makes sense. Maybe it won't be weird to just have a small backpack with me when I change in the morning now that I think about it. Thanks for the responses. BTW, Rusty Pins do you mind if I ask what part of Michigan your from? I'm from Northwest Ohio just outside Toledo myself. Just curious.

unfortunately part of being a bedwetter or being incontinent is being open and honest about your issue when you travel and atpre staying over night. Leaks happen especialy if you are changing the diaper you normaly wear juat to

While a bit off topic, when I travel and stay in hotels, I typically leave my wet diapers in the room trash, in a sealed plastic bag of course.

I'm from the other side of the state about 50 miles south of Kalamazoo right on the shore of Lake Michigan.

Thanks. I'm not sure if I can change in my bag or not. I got it for backpacking so it's a bit snug to save on weight and space. Doubt I can set an alarm without waking anyone up (it's a double wide trailer, they aren't usually very sound proof). Truth is I won't really know the situation until I get there, but these were some good ideas; and it was nice to hear it laid out by someone else for perspective. When I was thinking about it before I even first posted, taking a backpack into the bathroom with me seemed like a red flag and I don't think I can fit my used diaper in my actual toiletries bag lol. But now it sounds like a sound idea. Before, I was thinking how do I slip a grocery bag in my clothes before I change and how do I get out of the bathroom to hide it without someone seeing or asking what I'm doing (It's a very open layout, so exiting the bathroom you have to walk past the whole house [minus the bedrooms] to the kitchen or outside to the bins) but now I at least have a strategy. Also I find it funny I'm visiting these people in Holland Michigan so like an hour north of you? I just thought it was funny the odds of getting advice from someone so close to where I'm going lol.

[rusty pins]

Yeah, Holland is about an hour's north of me.

[Kshin02]

Yeah lol me too. It can be a risk switching to pullups, but I've had good luck at home with those brands; especially wellness. I just have to make sure I don't drink very much before bed. At home I have a habit of drinking a liter of water leading up to my bed time. Thinking about using my waterproof pants too, since I have a quiet pair made of PUL. I just hate how I wake up and everything inside seems extra damp, as well as not being able to do more than rinse them in the shower and hope they dry in my bag.

Here is another thought.

[Kshin02]

Not a bad idea. BTW everyone who is telling me to tell because I have to protect the bed, I respect that thought but I plan on sleeping on an inflatable sleeping pad and sleeping bag which I own. So I think I can afford a little more discretion, I don't think I'll wet so much that I will also wet the floor under me. Boosters are a good idea, hopefully I find them this afternoon since I leave tonight. I will post back and let everyone know if it all worked out or if I had to out myself to my other friends lol.

[Kshin02]

Made it back from visiting my friends and everything worked out as planned. No incidents occurred while sleeping or changing thankfully.
