The result of wearing diapers? (clinical, but graphic)

[harris]

I'm sure other guys, and maybe women, have encountered this problem. The way (pardon, but I'll have to be somewhat graphic) that some men's penis is naturally positioned in diaper leaves the opening of the urethra pressed against the padding of the diaper. When urinating, this can result in a good deal of pressure against the urethra and causes some temporary (it should immediately go away) stretching of the opening. This happens to me especially the first time I wet a diaper. When I first started wearing, this was painful; now it just hurts a little, and not necessarily in a bad way. This leads me to think that over time the opening of my urethra has become somewhat stretched, though not noticably upon visual inspection.

I've noticed in the past year that after uriniating, no matter how much I shake, I'll often have a spot or two, smaller than, or about the size of, a quarter on my boxers sometimes even on my pants, albeit a smaller spot (dime). I don't drip except after having used the bathroom. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if they have, do you think it might be the result of wearing diapers and the phenomenon I describe above? I've even considered wearing a pad of some kind inside my boxers. The spot is embarassing, but I doubt anyone has noticed. On the other hand, most of my sweats or pajamas that I wear at home develop a smell and must be washed much more often than is typical for something that never leaves the house. This problem does not seem worth seeing a doctor over yet, and I don't think that this particular form of incontinence, if it even qualifies as incontinence, has a "cure." It seems more like the kind of problem that is "managed" and as an AB, I'm uniquely prepared to deal with that on my own.

The drippage that you are describing is actually fairly common from what I have seen. Many men experience this from extremely minor to a somewhat problematic amount.

This has happened to me, though I do not attribute it at all to wearing diapers, I think it's more of a sign of getting older, though at least for myself being in my 20's, I cannot consider myself old. Like I said, it does happen to me and more than just a few drops so yes, I do wear a guard (usually the generic version of the depend guards for men) in my underwear everyday, and I do mean everyday. Wearing a guard has been a great solution for me, it keeps my underwear dry which is nice. I only need to use one a day, but if I don't, the wet spots will be bothersome.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about this, if you are truly concerned, then see your doctor. It's my opinion that this is something that likely happens to a lot of guys. It even has a medical term called post-micturition dribble (sp?). From what I have read on this condition, it is quite harmless, easily managed either with a guard or without and are generally just something that happens as our bodies age. Look at me, I'm talking like an old man here and I'm barely old enough to rent a car, lol.

One more thing, if you choose to wear guards to control it, you will need to wear form fitting underwear. Nothing special, but either briefs or boxer-briefs. Boxer shorts will not really allow you to use guards due to the fact that they are not form fitting.

I think I'm too young to attribute this to aging (22). There is a correlation in my past between increased diaper wearing and this problem. It seems far fetched to say there is some causation. But I wouldn't be surprised if this gradual stretching does occur given the way I naturally sit in relation to the surface of the inside of my diaper.

When I said boxers, I meant underwear generically. I don't know if I'm ready to resort to pads yet. It seems like the kind of thing that once you start, you never stop.

I am 25 and i have the same type of leaks, mine are abit worse but about the same deal

 

[Fire2box]

I also have the same problem but its not a big deal at all. I mean the one or two drops you can NEVER get out it seams.

I think im going to write a book on the mystery of the last few drops...

[ArcticFluffy]

It is normal for males to have this problem.

[font="Calibri,Arial"]Well, I'm 15 and I've had this problem since I was 10. I started wearing diapers later than that so their not the cause.[/font]

I'm a girl, and even I drip a lot after going pee. o___O Isn't that weird? It seems like a guy problem, why am I having it?

A little ditty I remember from my younger years would be a good title -

"No matter how hard you shake your peg, the last drop always rolls down your leg!"

I also have this issue, sometimes to a fairly annoying extent (more than a few drops, but not normally enough to cause any spots on my pants). It's definitely not caused by diapers in my case, because I started wearing after I had this problem for the first time. It's a little bit of a nuisance, but I've just accepted it as a fact of life for myself and live with it without any real trouble, it's just a minor annoyance.

I also wear a guard everyday. I suppose being a DL makes us a lot less resistant to wearing a "pad" in your underwear.

Alot of people have this problem, but refuse to wear anything for it, because its just not manly to wear a pad, or so they think.

My father in law has more than a little leakage, according to my mother in law, and he refuses to wear anything for it.
He says real men don't wear pads, but he's older and grew up in a different age.

I didn't realize this was so prevalent among people as young as I. That's reassuring. For those of you that said you wear a pad for it, which do you prefer? I've seen some with a plastic back, and some without; a preference? Do they all have an adhesive on the back to hold it in place? Do briefs work well (briefs always hang low in my crotch) or are special products, such as Abena covers, mesh pants, or Dignity briefs more worthwhile? Thanks.

Unless you somehow managed to build up enough pressure to over stretch your sphincters, that can't be the cause of your problem. You're probably just falling out of habit of squeezing out the last drops and not giving the muscle enough of a work out.

All of the pads I've seen do have an adhesive strip on the back of them which seem to work well. I've tried most of the pads that are availabe, both levels of abenas (which are just wierd and not all that comfortable) depend, tena and store brand generics. From what I've seen, the Tena's are also a little odd, they are triangular shaped so I don't really care for them. My preference is generally the rite-aid brand guards. They are almost identical to the depend guards, but cost less. That's what I generally wear.

That sounds about right, I have the same problem. I don't usually try and squeeze the last few drops out, mainly because I was potty trained that way. But my "dripping" can be pretty bad sometimes, especially when using a urinal when there are other ppl around.

what happens in your diapers

Dear Harris:

If you wear your diapers all of the time, then why are you wearing underwear { boxer shorts ] under your pants ? doesn't this kind of defeat the purpose of wearing diapers ? I'm just asking.

It's a common belief that underwear over one's diapers can muffle the sound, and keep the diapers more compressed. It's a great relief for one who is new at venturing out in public with diapers on.
