Well well boys... congrats to both of you.
I do appologise for my absence... my laptop is currently broken... and I was away at an art show with LuvsGurl all weekend... so I haven't had much time to be online.
Kat... I'm glad you took the first step and wore to work... but I think you will find that a lot of people's whispering is in your head. As far as wearing the pullups go... I would suggest finding an actual diaper... something that will actually do you some good if you have to use it. I find that pullups will leak very quickly if used in an emergency situation. They're just not designed to handle the kind of volume that you can put out when you absolutely have to go.
There are plenty of thinner diapers out there that will do the job and still be discrete. Tenas come to my mind first as something with a high absorbancy and a low thickness. I would certainly suggest that you try different brands and see which one works in your situation.
Pojo... it is very brave of you to try 24/7 for a whole week since you are still living with your parents. Best of luck to you on that my friend. Are you still using the Depends.. or did you manage to get your hands on some other brand?
My advice to you is to take it one day at a time... I actually found that it is better not to set a goal when going 24/7 as it seems to kill the fun of it sooner... but whichever works for you. Also... make sure that you are going slowly when you wet... nothing sucks worse than flooding your diaper and not being near a convenient place to change.
Ya, well some of the comments are and some aren't. It's generally the younger people in the centre who reacted in any way... Or like anyone who was kind of an @$$h0le to start with.
Yeah, it has to be something that can hold when necessary. I know that...It's because it's just irritable bladder or something that evolved into minor urge incontinence when it was combined with a few other things, like smaller bladder capacity and weaker muscles (due to wearing more) and filling faster because of the diuretic effect of pills I take, and a few other things...At least that's what I think it is anyway...
It's not like the stress incontinence or something where it's just a bit when you sneeze or something...
But ya, another thing I was wondering about is that it's getting hotter outside (and inside too)...And it makes me sweat really badly (actually even reducing the diaper's capacity)...How can I reduce the heat...I know an extra layer over-top of the diaper does make it hotter...but it also makes it quieter...I'm one of those people who have a thing for the sound of it. (IE I don't like it, lol...Except when I'm not in front of people of course).
I just have a harder time dealing with it when I can hear it constantly...Whereas these (which are Tena's as you were talking about...Even though they are a step down being only "protective underwear") are silent and I can forget they are there I guess...
I didn't wear today to work...It was quite busy and we started a new campaign and the higher-ups were there and everything...I just didn't have the nerve when everyone would be very close and all facing each other constantly through discussions and stuff...
I'm going to see if my Abri-wings came in yet and hopefully they'll be better...I'm still testing out discreet kinds.
...But ultimately it's this @$%^&% social fear I can't seem to get rid of...:wallbash:...I just wish I didn't care about anything so much...I think the only way to do that is to just make it very obvious...And to stop hiding anything...Just exist as I am and let them leer if they want to...No more extra layer...No caring about the crinkle, or buldge or whatever...I've come a long way, but once I get there...I'll be fine...
