What medical condition makes you wear diapers for Protection?

Same here a wet nappy is a lot better than wet pants or a soaking bed every night.

Spinal cord injury 1984

Nerve damage from a bulged disc.

Acquired urinary incontinence as a result of muscular disuse.

Bladder Cancer. From all the surgeries to remove tumors and from the cysto's,m my plumbing just doesn't work the way it used to so have to wear guard to protect clothing from peeing on myself. That will be remedied in about a month or so when I go in have my bladder removed.

Overactive bladder when it flairs up it causes me to wet myself in my sleep so need protection at night

Had to wear a diaper for two weeks after having a large kidney stone removed.

OAB, and then in to urge incontinence.

I've been wearing progressively more protection for the last 25 years. It started with dribbling with no warning and I used pad inserts in my briefs. As the voids became stronger and without warning, I started using a Depend pull up. They held one or two wettings. I went through ever thicker and thicker pull ups.

Now I buy very thick disposable diapers by the case. Usually I start the day prepping a diaper with a maximum Poise pad. I purchased a device that pokes holes in the pad's backing. Every few weeks I modify a batch of pads as boosters.

Wearing a onesie extends my wear into late afternoon. By then my diaper has soaked up several wettings and weighs about 4-6 pounds. I then change to a high capacity diaper without a pad. That gets me to bedtime. Overnight I wear a cloth diaper and plastic pant.

After lots of tests, the cause seems to be genetic neuropathy causing degradation of my nerves from the end of my spine to the tips of my toes. It's very sporadic - nerves fire off with pain here and there. Some days not much, other days a great deal. It affects my bladder causing leakage without much feeling and no warning. Most of the time I am totally unaware of peeing.

As I've lost some feeling in my penis, I've modified by masturbation with increased rubbing on my scrotum and perineum; and by adding anal play. Currently I have a low grade prostate cancer which is being closely watched. I'm holding onto orgasms and ejaculations as long as possible.

Thankfully, the nerve condition has not yet affected my bowels. It does affect my leg muscles and leg bones.

There are cases of the same nerve loss with several of my cousins with whom we all share the same grandparents.

Diapers provide me with a sense of security and comfort. Over the years, I've stopped wearing plain old white diapers and clear plastic pants. Now I enjoy colors and patterns. At least two doctors (dermatologist and urologist) have favorably commented on my accommodation with my condition and on my selection of diapers and onesies. One even looks a bit jealous. But I've never said so to him.

I take a large package of disposable diapers with some plastic pants when I go into hospital for elective treatments. I usually perform my own changes. Occasionally I need help which is readily given. I've received some interesting comments and questions when I move around the hospital for testing - MRI, treadmill stress tests, etc. Most people ask where I get my colorful diapers. They only see the hospital-issued diapers for adults. Everybody is very accepting and never critical.

Thanks for reading my too-long answer.

I would say ibsd. Mine has briefly improved. Usually a normal pad helps matters.

I will keep this short. The full version could fill a book...

I am incontinent. Bladder only thankfully. Whilst serving in the Air Force I was involved in an accident at the grand old age of 27 which led to spinal chord damage and nerve damage. This led to an almost immediate loss of control of my bladder.

Urology and a spinal surgeon diagnosed me with neurogenic bladder. It's a flat line and no response at all. It now fills to around 1 litre and randomly dumps the lot in my nappy. Nearly 9 years on I'm still fighting to get them to pay for my medications.

I have just come to accept it. But military reunions can be awkward now.

Over active bladdrer and the good old diaper helps but only in long car trips

Overactive bladder can be quite bad if I'm getting adequate water (which I need for sometimes high blood pressure), I also have ibs which in times of high stress can be bad enough I will have uncontrolled bowel movements, so I opted at the beginning of the year to wear some kind of protection at all times.

I have urge incontinence that is the result of a surgical mishap many years ago and wear a diaper 24/7. For the past year or so, my usual diaper has been ComfiDry 24/7.

Mine seems to be a right mix of things, always had a very small capacity which necessitates frequent visits to the toilet, bladder has become extreme in urgency to void and then on some days will just switch off any prior warning of the need to go and fills up to a large volume then dumps the lot without warning, those rare occasions will fill the most absorbant nappy to capacity or more and can if sitting down flow right over the top of the waistband of the nappy, one really good reason to wear plastic pants over the top as they can buy you a few seconds before your clothing gets drenched.

I had an accident where I busted my pelvis and ruptured my bladder. The doctors decided not to fix either which led to some massive infections. Anyway, fast forward 2 years. Lots of scar tissue around urinary tract that is clearing up over time...but if I tear or stress it then it I feel like I have to go NOW, and the time I have between feeling like I have to go and going uncontrollably is less than 30 seconds. Doesn't happen all the time and much better than 2 years ago.

After i had a kidney stone remover and a stent was put in i had a week of problems until the stent was removed. it was the first kidney stone i ever had and dont want another.

OAB would be my medical reason, but a big part of it is fetish. I’m back to 24/7 this week after taking a short break from wearing to wk. Right now I’m at wk feeling very satisfied with my decision to start back.

I just wear them after having had a colonic and worry about leakage after leaving the facility. I have noticed they are extremely comfortable! As I occasionally have post-urination leakage (I pee, finish, put my dick back into my pants, then find I leak out some more), might be good idea to wear them more often??

Over active bladder with urge incontinence. Due to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. The joys of getting old. I can be cured but feel the cure is worse than the disease.

I have Interstitial cystitis and sometimes have issues with wetting, or sometimes I wet the bed 😢 not all the time.. Just when the IC really flares up. Thank goodness for the "IC cocktail injections" I get em every 6 months directly into the bladder.

Incontinence...

No logical reason, I just can't hold my pee.

Although my love for diapers is a fetish, and a way of putting my mind at ease when I am stressed, I also have an OAB and urge incontinence. My OAB tends to flare up when times have been stressful and I am in the aftermath of that stressful period. Like when my stress gets lower, it’s like my bladder let’s the tension off and goes squizing as a madman. When it gets colder outside my urge incontinence is at it’s peak and I have less time to get to the toilet. Diapers are a good solution for that problem, but it feels like I don’t choose to wear. So when I wear becouse of my medical condition it takes a lot of the fun away.

Spikey

In 2006 my spine was ripped apart at T10 L1. since that day I have no real control over my bladder. I can control my bowels thankfully..

Due to being rough and tumble as a youth and a teen. Also suffering with epilepsy as a youth. I have had more than a few concussions and motor vehicle accidents. Now I have a neurogenic bladder. Due to my past nothing can be truly pinned down as the root cause. The only thing that they can figure it is due to neurological damage. I mainly have issues at night but I do have some Daytime issues. Fortunately the insurance covers my diapers and some of my diaper covers but they are the inexpensive diapers that they cover which are not all that effective.

I have diabetes which makes it hard sometimes to control myself.

Spinal injury from being pushed down 3 flights of stairs

I have lost about 90 percentage of feeling in my bladder. And my Dr said what I feel now will go away. It's hard when you are told that you will have loose control over your bladder but what can you do.

Its a long story. I have progressive MS and ended up having a massive stroke during My third pregnancy. I was left semi quadriplegic. And have been slowly losing function ever since. That was 23 years ago. I have been doubly incontinent ever since. But for many years We were able to manage it with catheters for urine Too many UTI's) & a bowel program for stool. I did often wear a diaper for occasional accidents. But over the last 4-5 years I have lost so much function. I can't really chew or swallow solid food anymore. So I needed a feeding tube. And need a ventilator to breath. With the feeding tube My bowels became very unpredictable and My body has frequent spasms. So I need diapers all the time. I currently have some movement in two fingers and can use a mouth stick to navigate the computer & internet. Currently Losing the ability to speak clearly. The internet is My view to the outside world.

Apart from the bladder misbehaving badly I am now finding that I am having trouble with the other end too (number 2) which is purely muscular (lack of) I am trying to excercise my muscles down there to improve my control.

I can cope with my badly behaved bladder but am finding number 2s exceedingly difficult to cope with.?

Just hoping I can get control back, am off to a clinic soon so will discuss with Doc ?
