So I wondered for those who are incontinent and wear diapers to manage it, if you have control over one function, how do you personally handle it? Do you use the bathroom when necessary or use the diaper in certain (or all) situations? I imagine for those that experience bladder incontinence it's a very small amount of people that would use for both but what about those that deal with bowel incontinence who have bladder control?
ok, this topic still gives me the willies, but I'll chime-in.
My plumbing doesn't work. Both pipes. I have little to no warning when the bladder is about to empty, and very few moments before the back door opens and that happens. Welcome to the lovely world of being incontinent.
How to deal with it?
At home, dress in loose-fitting clothing, stay very close to the toilet, wear light to medium protection which is cheaper than a full dress-out. (and much easier to get out of the way as the dash to the head is going-on)
In public?
Jeezus...
Make sure I'm on 'Empty' before leaving home. (both sets o' pipes). If it still happens (I have about 3-4 hours at best before the bladder makes another introduction, maybe 6 to 8 with the back door, esp. if I enjoy a good meal while out in society).
For me the most difficult thing was to not freak out and by my expression or body language (on what's happening), give any alert to anyone who may be around me.
If I can I find an out-of-the-way area of the place I'm visiting, esp. if its the #2 experience. I hate it, andI have zero doubt anyone around someone defecating in their pants would find it endearing, either.
Get home as fast as possible, after (If #2). IF there's a safe place to get out of the soiled protection before sitting down and driving home, I'll take that. This is still a rare thing because it's literally impossible to change/clean/re-diaper in a public restroom w/o anyone hearing the process.
Now to dive into Red Dead Redemption II and take my mind off of this topic.
