    How many....

    I don’t have a choice in regard to when my bladder acts up, so everyday is a diaper day.

    If you wake do you get up at night!

    If I’m awaken by my bladder which is very rare, it’s a lost battle anyhow as my bladder just releases regardless of what I want, so I don’t bother getting out of bed.

    Tips, tricks, and hacks for living with Incontinence successfully

    My tip, is wear a diaper which is a notch thicker and more absorbent than what is needed. That has been a lifesaver for me several times. I’m prescribed tena maxi for daytime use, and Tena Ultima for nighttime. However I’m also now using the Tena Ultima when I’m at work. It has only been a very...

    Diapers and your emotional quality of life

    Been dealing with OAB / urge incontinence for years, tried everything medication, bladder training, timed voiding etc. to no avail. Recently also diagnosed with interstitial cystitis which really impacted my bladder control to the worse, meaning I have absolutely no bladder control anymore. I...

    Automatic Wetting

    Sometimes it happens for me, that my bladder just releases without any warning, other times a strong urge builds up before releasing. I guess the automatic wetting is happening because I’m accustomed to be in diapers 24/7

    Spouses question

    Even though I have the full support of my wife in regard to my incontinence, I never walk around the house in just a diaper and t shirt, I still want to preserve my dignity by acting discrete. Even though there’s no reason for me to hide the fact I’m wearing a diaper, I see no reason to flaunt...

    Does anyone here only use their diaper?

    I cannot feel my bladder filling, and only get a strong urge / bladder spasm and then it just empties in my diaper. So yes, I’m more or less exclusively using my diaper for peeing. Luckily I still have control of my bowels, but even here I have to get to the toilet fast when I feel it’s about...

    Using diaper cream

    No, but I do use barrier cream frequently when I sense my skin is starting to be irritated when I wet. I don’t see the benefits of powder, what is it good for?

    Wetting

    The same has happened to me, I was in proces of fastening a new diaper on me, and the my bladder spasm and I had to hold the diaper close to me while my bladder emptied. Anyway, my diapers don’t stay dry for very long. Do I like wetting in my diaper? I’m in a bit of conflict here, while I do...

    Bladder pain

    I got ialuril for my bladder pain. I think it helped, as I haven’t had a flare for several months and it really did calm my bladder, though it stayed overactive with severe and sudden urges rendering me completely incontinent. Though in the recent days my bladder has been acting up somewhat...

    Tena survey

    I use the Tena in proskin versions, as these are the only ones i can get for my incontinence in my country (not US). They work great for me. So I don’t think I can contribute with anything in the survey.

    Why the Stigma to Adult Diapers?

    I’m not hiding the fact that I’m incontinent and need diapers, although I don’t go around and advertise about me wearing and using adult diapers either. But if someone asks me, I’ll tell.

    Diaper bulge.

    I wear either a Tena maxi, or Tena ultima Proskin during office hours, I use a Tena lady super as booster. This combo works very well, and I don’t have any obvious diaper bulge showing. It’s also very easy to swap out the small booster, as it fits in these small containers we have in our toilets...

    incontinence getting worse

    I can only second that. I’m going in today to have new bladder biopsies taken from my bladder. They did an exams of my first biopsy again in December, and are seeing signs of dysplasia which is early stages of cancer, so I read. I’ll have to have these biopsies taken every four months, until...

    Medical diapers or ABDL diapers?

    I get my diapers from the healthcare system, same as NHS in Uk. I worked with the continence nurse to find the right protection for me. I do buy diapers my self too, but I prefer single color diapers (only color I don’t wear is pink), I don’t want to waste money on ABDL diapers with prints, as...
