Dear IC-folks! I wanted to ask with you how you deal with sports & incontinence? Jogging, cycling, or any other cardio exercises where you spend more than an hour. Personally I love to run longer distances - something between 15-20km every few days. I have awful issues with chafing. I tried...

I recently ordered them (8 and 10 drops). I am in love... very discreet and... elastic :) I was even able to wear one to the gym and for a jogging (I usually go with pull-ups for a gym/jogging, but it does not always end well). Highly recommend as a daily diaper!

Only tabbed diapers. There was a moment I was amazed with Pull-ups.. but a few embarrassing stories later I quickly adjusted my thinking.

You are a wise man indeed 😉

Today was one of those days.... I woke up quite early with this weird feeling of insecurity. I do not know if you have experienced it too? Sometimes I wake up and I just feel super conscious of everything, somehow being afraid of the day ahead. Coming back to the day... It was a super busy day...

My heart goes out to you. It's really hard to enjoy a disease that affects our lives. Personally, I tend to compare things together a lot. In comparison with other disabilities being IC is pretty easy to handle. Thus, instead of focusing on a box we are inside, it's always good to take a bit...

It has definitely affected my self-esteem. Fortunately, quite early in my adult life I met really wonderful people who helped me to normalize my situation. They still are a real blessing.

Not sure if this game is worth it. I prefer to wake with 50% used heavy diaper every day during the month, instead of playing this game and having one or two wet nights simply because I underestimated my fluid intake.

Not sure. Maybe it's about my better half seeing it... Trust me, I praise diapers regularly for allowing me to lead almost normal life :)

Recently I have noticed a new behavior of mine: on hot days I usually wear a diaper & a t-shirt when at home. Most of my diapers have some kind of a wetness indicator. When I notice the wetness indicator has changed its color, I almost feel embarrassment... just the first time. Then, even a...

Try Tena Slip Super. If you need more absorbency go for Maxi, however the wet diaper will be less discreet.

It’s rare & more pricey where I live :)

Tena Slip Maxi 😍 ...truly the most reasonable choice in Europe ...especially if you are looking for this trio: (1) reasonable absorbency, (2) adequate price, and (3) easiness to hide under the clothes.

I use less absorbent diapers and change more often. Everything goes into my nappy.

Quite a few good friends are aware. I am a sociable person, thus we spend a lot of time together. They found out by accident in most cases. You know... never going to a bathroom at home (while other girlfriends used it a few times) was quickly questioned. Leaks happened. Just life of an IC person :)
