My incontinence is the result of a surgical mishap when I was 14 years old. I’m 79 now. I’ve never been reliably dry at night since the mishap. From between the ages of 14 and 17, I had to wear a diaper 24/7; and that together with the behaviour of my peers made my life during high school pretty miserable. However, my urologist advised me to do what nowadays are called Kegel exercises; and I was fanatical about doing them even more often than recommended. As a result, I got to the point where I could generally go without a daytime diaper by the time I went away to university. Things went on like that until I was in my 40s, at which point my daytime Issues worsened to the point that I once again needed round-the-clock protection. So I went back to wearing a diaper 24/7. A number of urologists have recommended that I wear a sheath connected to a leg bag instead of diapers, and I’ve tried various makes and models of the sheaths. However, I prefer diapers. I’ve come to enjoy how a diaper feels and even become a bit of a diaper lover. But the main attraction of wearing a diaper is that it allows me to do whatever I want to do whenever I want to do it without having to worry about visibly wetting my pants of pyjamas.
