1. Is your incontinence urinary, bowel, both, or neither?
Occasional diarrhea and many small daily bms.
2. Are your diapers disposables (tab) , cloth, pull-ups, pads, combination (with percentage), or none?
Pull-uos - NorrhShore Supreme have protected well.
3. Is your incontinence due to an accident, illness, birth defect, child birth, other?
Side effect from prostate radiation therapy. Also increasing urinary urgency.
4. Have you been treated by medical doctors for your incontinence? Tests, drugs, surgery, etc? Status?
Yes, they are not surprised nor concerned. Drink cranberry juice, I do mixture with water. Not severe enough symptoms to warrant any prescriptions. I am half way through radiation and symptoms will likely continue for a while.
5. Does your incontinence (only) limit you from living a full and happy life?
No, The other symptom of fatigue does mean an afternoon nap helps.
6. Are you single, married, engaged, sharing your life with a partner? Children?
Married, adult children.
7. Are your immediate family members and/or close friends aware of your incontinence? Generally accepting?
Yes to the extent of the symptoms but not the pull-up issue except my spouse.

7. Are your immediate family members and/or close friends aware of your incontinence? Generally accepting?
Yes and yes. Obviously, it’s impossible to hide incontinence from those in your household, including children. I’m Very careful to keep my personal issues private around most others. A have a few work colleagues know because of the type of work I do , it helps with questions like “why’s that guy doing long bathroom breaks” and so on.

Midlands UK
9. Do you find that this forum helps you deal with and/or manage your incontinence?
YES!
10. I can’t think of anything else to ask. What else would you like to add?
I have been incontinent only 6months of my life. I’m lucky to have the luxury of choice. I continue to try REAL HARD to normalize diapers in my life, else I get a feeling of inadequately. I’m not AB or DL. I’m okay with nappies as they allow me to live a nearly normal life. Loving this site it’s made every thing very clear and a lot more normal. Brilliant post
