I posted this elsewhere a few weeks ago, and I thought it may interest members in this thread. I recently had a most interesting conversation with my cousin Samantha the other day, which I thought I would share with you, and see if anyone here has had similar experiences, or heard of anyone...

I had a most interesting conversation with my cousin Samantha the other day, which I thought I would share with you, and see if anyone here has had similar experiences, or heard of anyone who has. Whilst we don’t see each other very often nowadays, when we were kids Samantha and I lived quite...

Since this thread is entitled "Bedwetting as a child", I am sure I and anyone else reading it could be forgiven for assuming that you are talking about wetting your bed when you were children. How in the world could you possibly hide this from your parents? Didn't your parents ever come into...

I have to say that I sometimes wonder whether or not fantasy (or at least paranoia) plays a large part in the minds of those who claim that a wet nappy will be visible on scanners, at airports and other major travel hubs. I have travelled in nappies by plane, train, car, long distance coach...

As a woman, I cannot of course speak for the boys, but I believe that there are people, both male and female, who grow up wetting at night beyond the age of 5 years or so who in some cases revert to bedwetting in later life, and from what I was told at the incontinence clinic it doesn’t...

I honestly fail to understand why it is that so many people (in particular, you yourself PC Baby, it has to be said!) seem to complain about ID expert nappies. I use ID Expert Super Slips almost exculsively, which are supplied to me by the NHS. And whilst I cannot say I have never had any...

I am afraid I must take exception to this comment. Firstly, the nappies supplied by the NHS are not necessarily the same brand in every area; many supply TENA slips, for example. In fact, in my local hospital I have seen both TENA and ID used. Where I live I am supplied with ID Expert slips...

I am not always 24/7, but for the times that I am, I normally use four in a 24-hour period. I always wear at night, and my night-time nappy is invariably wet in the morning. If I am going to wear all day, after my shower, I will put on a fresh one, usually around 7:00 am. This will last me...

Although I have no recollection of it myself, my mother tells me that both she and my dad did at times tell me to go in my nappy if I needed a wee and there was no toilet readily available, or perhaps we were travelling in the car and there was no place to stop. Back then, it was plastic pants...

When I wear a nappy, I use it, without exception; I have long since given up trying to use a toilet if I have a nappy on. It's so much easier just to let go. I first went back into nappies in my early twenties to cope with my increasing bedwetting problems, which were not helped at all by...

Although my main bladder problem is bedwetting, I do also have daytime accidents sometimes, and so for several years now I have always made it a rule to wear a nappy on any journey, whether by plane, train, bus or car, that is likely to last more than an hour or so. I have had more than one...

I get my nappies supplied through the NHS. But where I am we get ID products. I am given ID Expert slips for both bedwetting and daytime use.

Apart from the fact of there being a higher likelihood of having bins, there is in most cases far more room than a cubicle in a normal toilet. It can sometimes be very awkward changing one's nappy in a normal cubicle due to the restricted space. It is much easier in a disabled toilet, which...

I live in the UK and if there is no bin near or in a toilet/restroom/bathroom I will usually dispose of my used nappies in the first litter bin I find. It is usually quite easy to find one. Failing that I will dispose of it at home. And I will admit to having on a few occasions simply rolled...
