I have zero bladder control and limited BM control. I do wear a cloth backed tena while running and have run up to and including marathon distance in them. I don’t use a onesie while running but I do have good fitting running shorts, I recommend a bit of cream between the thighs for chaffing...

No one thinks you are broken, please don’t put yourself down :(

Hi I hope all is well, I wouldn’t try to hide the fact as that will only raise questions later. Also I’m not sure how “frisky” he will feel and even if he goes over for a hug or a harmless butt pat it’s going to be obvious. Also I don’t know about you but when I wear disposables to be bed the...

About a month. She is very understanding. It personally wouldn’t bother me the other way around

I think telling him would be a good shout. He will find out and what’s worse is if you have a accident anyway and not wear protection. I am in a relationship (married) and I told my wife and she didn’t care one bit. I was your age when I did, I’m 31 now. Glad I made the right choice

As someone who has very bad neurological related incontienece I can assure you that cloth is the way forward for sleep. 1. They give your skin a break from disposables. 2. They feel a lot more like slightly thicker underwear 3. They don’t leak when sleeping on your side (I find most...

Thanks for the reply guys. I will definitely try the deodorant cake, didn’t think about that... doh! I definitely drink enough water, it’s nearly the only thing I drink, I just have a kidney issue that means I produce more urine than the average person (nearly twice as much) so when I change...

Hi guys I have a question regarding cloth diapers. I would like to know is there anything I can put on the diaper to mask the urine smell. I only use them in bed as I find they are just too bulky to use during the day. I do suffer from frequent bowel problems as well and I understand there is...

Hmmm this depends.... I am entirely urinary incontinent and have quite severe bowl incontienece (both are linked to a nerve problem I have with a illness I suffered). First piece of advice, the idea of unintentionally voiding your bowels may seem fun. It’s not and you will get bored of the...

The nurse is only there to advise, wearing a product that is too big is no good (as I found out this morning...) first off it makes for some horrible chaffing as well as leaking and sagging etc. Maybe try a different brand, also it depends on how much you leak. I tried pull ups for running and I...

When I saw my continence nurse I was given the option of catheter but I declined (remember it’s always your choice). I am however fecal incontinent as well so the only thing that really works for are the tena slip nappies that are offered. I am very active as well and a leg bag is useless and...

Hi there thought I might be able to chime in. I have pretty severe IBS (along with other issues I won’t bore you) and I use diapers to help control it. It’s not pleasant I can tell you, especially if it happens out in public. I usually get it worse in the morning and I would say I have to use...

Yup I had to wear during school. It was extremely embarrassing. In secondary school (I was about 14) I had a really bad day and soaked through my protection in a lesson (I won’t go TMI here) and it didn’t smell or look good. Since that day everyone knew I had too wear a brief/nappy and I got...

I suffer from fecal issues and I have found a few things too really help 1. Diet, eating lots of fibre rich foods spinach/most fruits(whole form)/most veg and salad. Also keeps you generally healthy and weight down. 2. I only use laxatives etc as a last resort, mainly if I know I have...

As someone who regularly works out and has complete loss of bladder control I use tena slip plus and change if it gets too wet, or use a tena slip super or maxi. For the gym I personally avoid plastic backed diapers as I find they just microwave your sensitive areas and cause rashes. However on...
