Pad Wetting

Yesterday was my most embarrassing time while having to wear depends guards. My wife and I were getting ready to go out as I was getting dressed she walked into the bedroom as I was placing my guard into my tight Jockey style briefs. We took off to our few destinations shopping at the first place we stopped And I used the men’s room and peed in the toilet I was feeling pretty good not really having drinking too much during the trip I thought I’d probably be good for most of the day. My urge incontinence has gotten worse in the last couple months. The last stop as we got out of the car I really felt the need that I was gonna pee right now, we went into the store looked at the menu and started ordering the chicken and I could feel my pad starting to fill up and all of a sudden it was overflowing and the Pee was starting to wet my jeans front and back and running down the leg. When she got back in the car she claimed why do you wear a pad if your wetting all over the place? I explained the pad overflowed and that’s just my urge incontinence I don’t feel it until I stand up and have to go and then really have to go and that’s the result. When we got home I had to strip off all my clothes jeans and underwear the pad was soaking wet and she then washed my jeans and underwear so I can wear them later in the day. That was my most embarrassing time and having to wear pads every day 24 seven.

I understand the embarrassment, been there done that. When I was becoming incontinent because of my spinal cord injury I started using incontinence pads. As time went on my incontinence became stronger and stronger where I was changing pads every hour to avoid those embarrassing leaks. At first I was embarrassed enough by using pads let alone wearing a diaper. It came to the point where pads was simply wasn't going to work and diapers was the solution. Incontinence is embarrassing enough yet alone the the leaks and soaked clothes.

That’s why I gave up on pads. They are okay for small leaks but for real overflow wetting I depend on diapers.
