Ran into a situation- what would you do?

Heres what happened to me yesterday. Day off and I had an appointment in the morning and a bunch of running errands to do. No big deal - diapered up and left the house early thinking I'd be home by noon or so, no need to take another diaper to change into.

Well, had to wait a long time at my appointment which delayed me. Then missed my bus and ended up waiting half hour for the next one and my errands took way more time that I thought. The while time getting wetter. Here's my dilemma, my diaper was soaked by the time I was done and I had a couple small leaks (dark shorts saved the day).

I was leaving the mall and had two choices, take off my diaper and risk it going home - maybe an hour total before I got home but could end up with very wet and embarassing situation,

Or,

Keep the wet diaper and hope for no further leaks but I was worried if I sat down it would squeeze out and make a now large and visible leak.

I ended up ditching the diaper in the mall bathroom and going bare home. It worked and I didn't wet but I was nervous the entire way.

What would you do?

That has happened to me so many times. I am also bowel incontinent and there are times when you have to get rid of the diaper. If it is spring or summer, i am forced to get rid of the diaper and just coverup with my plastic pants, and some toilet paper to soak things up, until i can get back to where my diapers are. The plan as soon as that happens is drop everything you are doing and head toward where my diapers are. if it is fall or winter i am usually wearing a plastic pant with terry cloth inside, that way i stay warmer, and then if i have to get rid of my diaper, i have that as a short term back up. I never go out with plastic pants over my diapers. And usually dont go anywhere without my diaper bag in the car. but sometimes, it happens.

If i am super wet and unprepared for a change .,there is the ever present night drain bag and catheter ,my aide can take control at any time bypassing the heroism of the soaked diaper.
