Explaining your new bedwetting problems.

[DiaperTJ]

Just curious to those becoming new bedwetters.  Regardless of age, have you thought about having to explain your new 'problem ' to others?  Such as family members or friends when staying over? Or travelling with friends or family, especially if you are having to share a room with someone.

I worried about this at first, but honestly theres nothing to hide or be worried about.

At home if I have friends/family over my diapers stay where they always do. Under the sink. If people see them I don't care if ask (no one ever has) I'll just say it's for medical reasons. 

Staying at a hotel/friends/families house is a bit different It's something you need, part of personal care. Unless you are sharing a bed with them then it doesn't matter. Take the proper precautions of course, bring a plastic bed liner just incase and plastic pants for triple protection if you have ever had leak issues. But ultimately when your a bed wetter you just need to be prepared. 

Personally I use Seni Quatro briefs. They have been excellent and in the 9 months I've used them I've yet to experience a leak. Recently ordered a pack of Ultima to try.

Well, fortunately, since I’ve started bedwetting, I haven’t had many opportunities to be with others. The only time I was, I tried to be discreet about disposal. I think I was. At least nothing was said. Whether he noticed or not, I don’t know. He didn’t say anything. But, a bridge to cross at a later time.

With the obvious exception of my spouse, I’ve been able to keep this aspect of myself fairly private. 

I managed loads of corporate travel (domestic and international) but even after my career ended, I still managed overnight stays out with friends although I this didn’t involve shared bedrooms.  Rucksacks and small black bin bags were my friends here.

When I go on vacation or stay at someone else's place I always make sure to have a couple washable bed pads and some disposable bed pads to place on top of the washable ones for extra bed protection in case I leak. I also wear  diaper covers and add a stuffer to my night diaper so I'm more confident that I'm not going to leak in someone else's bed. I don't want to have to deal with the awkward conversation and then deal with cleaning or replacing a mattress. My home routine is similar minus the disposable bed pads. I have a mattress protector and use a washable bed pad to save the sheets for the nights. 

I see it as a need to know basis if it's going to cause problems or can't be discreetly hidden.

I haven't had a situation where I need to explain things just yet (outside of my relationship and some close friendships), but that'll likely change now that my bedwetting is becoming way more common.

My current plan is to avoid mentioning anything until I know I've legitimately lost some serious control. Once I know I can't safely go to bed in anything other than a diaper, I will probably then consider telling my doctor that I've begun bedwetting. Once my doctor knows, I'll be a little more okay eventually letting my parents and brother know if it comes up.
