It helps me to read of others who experience the getting out of bed flood. Nothing quite as jolting first thing in the morning! On your way to the loo and there's a cool wet stream running down your leg. Floor, rugs and clothes with drops and puddles. Reading of others' experiences and remedies is very helpful. Not feeling the only one who compensates and wears a diaper the next night, or a more absorbent pad, or a plastic pant, etc. ... only to have no reoccurrence for days, weeks, etc. The frustration of not being able to predict and prepare!
Then, there's the going out with pad in place, only to have a squirt that overwhelms the absorbency (that was calculated to the precise millileter, with more than enough in reserve). Now the wet underwear and pants' crotch. How to mask it, explain it, feel it???
Yes, wearing a diaper is the reasonable solution. But, some of us with intermittent incontinence don't feel the need for complete coverage. We're still experimenting with various pads and pants. It is challenging.
