You have me beat by a few years as I was born the year of your surgery. Although my severe OAB did make life difficult, I had enough control that I was able to get by with flannel-lined plastic pants. The effect of the cysts on my S3 sacral nerve root lead to an increase my symptoms so that by...

Not a big fan of anticholingerics due to the common side effects and their lack of effectiveness in my case. More recent concerns over increased chance of dementia (https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/anticholinergic-drugs-linked-with-dementia) also presents potential problems...

I actually looked it up, and apparently nocturnal enuresis is nighttime wetting and diurnal enuresis is daytime wetting. So, I guess bedwetting is a type of nocturnal enuresis when you sleep through the wetting.

I am incontinent, and as I now wear diapers 24/7, changing in a public place is an occasional reality and common if I'm traveling. There's no doubt about it that it's challenging to change in public restrooms. I wear a premium diaper with a booster pad, and plastic pants over the diaper, so I...

After being diapered off and on for most of my life, and 24/7 for the last twenty years, I have a pretty good idea what works best for me. I have severe OAB and wear for for medical reasons. I only wear plain, white BetterDry diapers with a booster pad and plastic pants. Most of my plastic pants...

Beyond flannel-lined plastic pants with "snap-in" flannel liners that I wore over my underwear, there wasn't much of an option other than wetting my pants and concealing it as best I could. Pretty tough until adult-sized diapers started appearing in drug stores, and even then, those early...

I run warm at night so I just wear a premium disposable, XL booster and plastic pants. After waking myself and in wife in a wet bed due to my upper tapes stretching or coming loose, I have taken to using clear packing tape to reinforce the upper tapes. Works very well, and don’t think I ever wet...

I’ve been wearing in professional settings off and on since the late eighties and continuously for the past twenty years. I wear denim pants, one size up from my normal waist size. Even so, the bulk from my diapers and plastic pants is noticeable, but I wear my shirt out so not too bad.

Tried when I ordered them by accident instead of the BetterDry overnight absorbency. The day variant was inadequate for me.

Both my diapers and plastic pants make rustling noises that I can hear, although my wife says she can’t. What I’m wearing is also a factor. If I’m wearing running shorts and at-shirt, it’s very noticeable, but with denim not so much.

Not a massage but do wear for doctor visits and recent visits to a chiropractor. The cause of my severe OAB was diagnosed by the medical group I see, so they know of my condition and the diapers I wear. The chiropractor does not. I was in for neck pain and headaches, so I didn’t expect or want...

Thankfully my wife is not bothered by my severe OAB and incontinence at all. Twenty years-ago when faced with my being on meds or wearing diapers 24/7, she urged me to wear diapers as she was concerned about the long-term side effects of the pills I would be taking. I am ultra discrete and...

Due to "Tarlov Cysts" on my S3 sacral nerve root I have had life-long severe OAB (urgency, frequency and wetting) as well as detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD), which came more recently. The experimental treatment for the DSD, resinferitoxin (RTX) injections and pulse RF nerve ablation on the...

I'm definitely psychologically dependent on diapers. I've been in and out of diapers since early childhood, and 24/7 for the last twenty years. I do have dry spells, but they are infrequent and unpredictable, and when I do wet, it can be substantial. It is very difficult for me to relax or fall...

I've been changing myself since early grade school. While my mother occasionally reminded me that I needed to change, I always did it myself.
