I am sorry you have experienced this, and that your gym doesn't have anywhere private to change. I totally understand the anxiety. I remember when I first went to the gym after becoming incontinent. Super scary and nerve racking. Since my accident, I have always worn baggier shorts when at...

No it doesn't matter. That's what I was trying to say, but apparently fialed to do. I meant to encourage those that have to wear, that it's up to you and your comfort level. Who cares what others think. Barbara

From time to time, this group has some discussion on how to hide that you're wearing diapers in public. Most the time I feel like I do pretty good job of hiding it, but other times I feel like I really don't care, but I also make sure I am not advertising it. Unless people are staring at my...

Like everyone else above has said, get a good quality one that will hold a lot. One other bit of advice, at least here in the USA, make sure you change just before going through security. Everytime I have gone through even with a slightly wet one, they flag me, and I have to explain and get...

We have large single restrooms at work that I use, it makes it easier. With that said, I have had to use the multi stall restroom at work, its tight but I manage. Most people at work know I am incontinent (#1) and its just part of who I am. Never had any issues Barbie

Don't get me started with the inconsistencies between different airports and even different scanners in the same airport. 😡😡😡😡😡

As those before me mentioned, just plan for it and wear a thicker one and watch your intake. I have personally taken my bag into arena venues, explained what they are. Sometimes they want to inspect the contents, so I asked for a private place and let them empty it out. I have also gone to...

Here is a bit of my story during one of my encounters with Airport Security/TSA https://www.adisc.org/forum/threads/tips-for-traveling-via-plane-needed-to-wear.173427/#post-2262679

Years back when in the beginnings of when I became UIC, i was still learning how often to change and what diapers work the best, and which ones don't. I was sitting at my Dr. office and was extremely nervous about this visit for no IC related reasons. It was a longer appointment, and I ended up...

I am IC #1 and diapered all the time. its just part of my life. I fly regularly and other than one bad experience with TSA years ago, I have no problems. For me, camping was the hardest to adjust to being IC. I use to backpack a lot (multiple night trips before becoming IC. No more than a...

I wear pretty much what ever I want, skirts, shorts, sun dresses. I am always diapered so when I go shopping I make sure that the outfit does not reveal my padding. I do love leggings, especially when its is cooler, so I wear long shirts and dresses over them to hide my bulge. I dont find it...

No, I just wear a cloth diaper under shorts. When I am out on a boat its usually water skiing or tubing so we are in and out of the water a lot. its pretty easy to hide whether I am wet from the lake or....

I think you look just fine sweetie.

it was a few years ago when the full body scanners were just coming out. I assume it detected the bulk of my wet diaper as an anomaly and flagged that part of my body. Even after changing and being res-canned, I was politely patted down and then sent on my way. I assumed it was part of the...

Late to the discussion as usual, but thought I would add my thoughts and experiences. As a ...umm,,,,middle aged woman..... i find my give a damn diminishing as the birthdays add up. I am UIC and wear a one piece swimsuit with no diaper at the pool and beach. When at a pool, I shower as soon as...
