Yes, I'd pay for it if required! Incintinence is not only very unpleasant, it also bears health risks.

My family knows and one very close friend; that's it.

Running water for me as well, even though I cannot force it. So running water on purpose when trying to release urine does not help in my case; I'm probably too focused on the water and the attempt to empty my bladder.... Apart from that there are diffuse triggers which are not evident: motion...

It really seems like, Even though I do not understand it. The US market is much more interesting, so why should attends kill their reputation there? One thing I forgot to mention is that because of my sphincter-detrusor dissynergy, my flow rate is not very high, and the volume that the diaper...

Shelly, my experience is similar to yours. I wear diapers (except for special situations) all the time now, but when my incontinence started about 6 years ago it took me some time to accept diapers. I then had the impression that my urge was reduced when being diapered. It might be related to...

I've been using Attends (Adjustables L10, pull-ons L8 and Regular Slip L10) for 6 years now, and I am very happy with the product; despite my heavy incontinence I need to change only 3-4 times in 24 hours without having a wet feeling, and diaper leakage is basically a non-issue (exceptions are...

- You assume that anything below "80% improvement" (whatever this means) is a failure, which of course is a question of definition (that's why I brought up the example of my tibial nerve stimulation which is "only" partially successful but still improves my life quality). - I don't know anything...

@Jasonm03 Great that you have such a good family support; keep hanging on, in many cases OAB can be cured or at least reduced, One important thing is that the doctors find the root cause fir your symotoms or at least that they can exclude certain diseases.

I would not worry about people looking at you in public. You also don‘t look constantly at people wondering if they wear diapers, plus diapers are well hidden under most clothes. When I‘m uncertain I ask my wife (e.g. I asked here to join me when I bought my last suit). I also try to be discret...

I apologize if my post will be perceived as offensive, but I just don't agree with some of the statements made in this thread... 1. Even though I agree that medication, Botox and interstim can have no effect, or the effect might wear off and that there might be side effects, there are plenty of...

I wet almost every night and I don‘t mind. One of my biggest fears is retention, and wetting during the night is a sign that I can stil relax my sphincter. Anyway I wear diapers 24/7 so it‘s no big deal.

I have no problems pulling down and up a diaper with tapes when doing so together with an underwear. After pulling up both I once again pull diwn the underwear and adjust the diaper.

In my case it can vary a lot. It seems like there is a constant fight going on between by sphinkter and my detrusor. I was not able to empty my bladder during my last urodynamic investigation even when the bladder contained 800 ml (it was quite an embarrassing situation because I wet the...

It all depends on the situation... Sometimes I‘m happy. It feels comfortable to wear a fresh diaper knowing that I will be protected and that spontaneous peeing will be no issue. Also, new diapers feel comfortable. Sometimes, when the diaper is soaked (or even worse soiled with fecal...

There are several companies (Tena, Abena, Attends, Molicare, ...) which provide diapers for fecal incontinence with some sort of odor protection. Personally as a man I don‘t find it difficult to „hide“ the diapers, just wear the right clothes (and wearing underwear on top of the diaper helps)...
