Role
  1. Incontinent
I just got back from 10 days in Europe. I didn't want to bring a weeks worth of pullups so I used pads as much as possible (with Carer underwear) and took Cialis. Cialis works great but after a few days I get leg pains.

On the way over and back I used Depend Night Defense. They did the job well and held up wearing 12 hours. I know people hate Depend products but I can't say enough good about Night Defense. They are absorbent and not bulky even when really wet.

I also want to give a shout-out to Abena pads. They are absorbent and quite comfortable. Basically they are a cut out of a brief and give a diaper feel to me.

When I ran low on pads I switched to Tena pants as they were readily available in grocery stores. They worked well too, discrete and absorbent although not as good as Night Defense.

Also I had no issues with security on either end while wearing a pullup and carrying my products with me.

Sugestions for travel.

You can bring a bag with for medical supplies (free for most airlines) and pack with diapers, just check it in when you goet to the airport.

Other option is to drop ship diapers to the place your staying at, its common to ship items to the hotel ahead of time for traveling.

I used travel all the time, and would ship my tools, clothes and IC supplies ahead of time, and verify they are there before i travel to the place i'll be working at. Had 3 sets of travel bags/tools (one in route, one at next job, one using) and just ship them back home when leaving the job. I was a contractor so i'd be from a week to a month on-site working. So i had a large anvil case for my stuff, actually 2, one for personal stuff and one for tools. Sometimes i'd be flying private and fly with the cases, which worked good too.

But, take advantage of the free medical bag when traveling.
 
Glad you had a good trip. I love traveling in Europe. Very friendly for incontinence. I never take more than a couple days worth of supplies. So easy to get them there and the products that are readily available are imho better than Depends. Agree that in a pinch the Night Defense is much better than nothing.
