    IC complicates dating.

    I'm so very lucky to have found a partner who is very understanding/accepting of my urinary incontinence and other issues associated with being paraplegic. In the early days when we first met I was using intermittent catheters and used briefs with fitted pads for those annoying leaks/dribbles...

    Wearing a Pubic Pressure or Body Worn Urinal rather than a condom catheter

    Wow looks great, must try. Been using condom caths for years without too much problems. Still have to check for leaks after transferring to/from my chair.Earlier types did cause skin breakdown/rash which is not good with limited sensation in my penis. Like you I'm now semi retracted.

    How many friends that know you're IC?

    Most of my friends know, and of course my family. I use a urine collection leg bag a lot of the time, which is visible

    Has anyone here had naturally poor control from a young age?

    I lost the use of my legs when I was 3 and also lost control of my bladder. As I got older I've learned to try to get some sort of control by timing and limiting my liquid intake plus using medication. I have limited sensation below my belly button and as such don't really know when my bladder...

    Has anyone else noticed their pee stream is wackadoodle when not diapered?

    Despite being seated all the time owing to have no use of my legs, I often have the same problem usually after not using my condom/sheath catheters. I'm really small semi inverted penis with little sensation plus having a foreskin and usually try to aim my urethra tip down using thumb and...

    Have you experienced a guest bathroom intrusion with your diaper on?

    Yes the lady in question was a really close friend of my partner, and I know her well. Think this made the situation maybe not as embarrassing as it would have been had it been a stranger. I also use Conveen Optima sheath catheters and leg bags most of the time and intermittent catheters on...

    Have you experienced a guest bathroom intrusion with your diaper on?

    Yes, but not diapers as I'm paraplegic I was using an intermittent catheter. I had transferred from my chair to toilet and finished emptying my bladder when my partners friend walked in [ being a wheelchair enabled bathroom no lock on door] Unfortunately I was at the point of carefully removing...

    swimming and being incontinent

    I'm paraplegic and have no bladder control, so have to both watch my timing and amount of liquid intake before I go to the pool. Obviously I empty my bladder before leaving home, and sometimes try again before I go into the pool. To be honest I've had no major leaks in years though I do...

    Finding relationships while U-IC m

    I'm so very lucky in that when I first dated my now long time partner, she was very understanding. I'm paraplegic so being wheelchair enabled she kind of guessed that I was going to have 'issues' plus early on in our dating she noticed my leg bag.It was quite easy to explain about my bladder...

    Yeast infections ( wearing pull ups for IC)

    Had the dreaded yeast infections when I was younger. Being paralysed below my waist with limited sensation,urinary incontinent and being 'complete' in that certain area all contributed. More stringent hygiene methods and drinking cranberry juice helped. Still get the odd milder infections...

    Experience with condom catheter as a daily choice?

    I'm paralysed from my waist down and been using condom catheters for years, and not had any real problems. Used various brands but have been Conveen Optima for years with absolutely no problems. The Optima is self sealing which is a bonus, and Conveen produce a printable measuring device so you...

    accident awareness

    Can only feel when I go when its almost at end of my urethra/penis. That is for big flow, but if I'm transferring from/to my chair or pushing up slopes I can't feel or be aware of slight leaks/dribbles.
