Hey all,
I’ve seen both on here and on Reddit people being nervous of wearing pads / diapers through airport security. (I’m incontinent so don’t really have a choice other than a catheter which I hate xD). I’ve flown 2 times this week both times have been wearing a mega max and it was usually quite wet by the time I got through,
1) don’t be worried about metal detector scanners, they don’t pick up anything and it’s all fine (Heathrow T5 use them).
2) as for the MM wave scanners (Geneva for me) they flagged it but I just explained with a letter from my doctor about my incontinence, they were very professional and kind, one thing to note for my fellow peeps with ASD, I also had one of the sunflowers lanyards as it’s helpful for me to board early etc and they have contact details in case of a meltdown etc, these are worth getting as it allowed them to know before the case that I had issues so they were able to handle it well, hope this helps anyone who is nervous
That’s all from me
