Colitis

I was just diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Does anyone here have this? and if so how do you deal? my symptoms have become so bad i've been thinking about wearing bc i have to and that would kind of take the fun out of it. and how does someone go to work in a diaper with a suit on? and keep your coworkers from finding out? these are the things that plague me. im petrified of anyone finding out.

I can't say I know what's it's like for you Dguy. But, I understand the situation. I love my diapers, and have lots of fun with them. But, I wouldn't want to have to wear them either.

I do have to say though, if the need is there and it can make some aspects of your day easier to deal with. Then go with it, and if someone has something to say to you, witch would be bold of them! I would remind them, would you have to bother someone in a wheelchair about the use of it?

I don't think anyone would say anything to you if they suspected though. Do what you need to do, and take the saying, don't ask don't tell into account.

Maybe it's not the best of advice, I'm afraid, but maybe it can help ya? Good luck!

Well dguy i know how your feeling about work and diapers!!! I never had the pleasure of being bale to havea suit on over my diapers when i wore them all the time , i was in construction bending over alot!!! this is my recomendation to you about trying to conceal as best you can. first thing you need to determine is if a heavy diaper is needed or just a pullup will work! if a pullup will work your good to go they are usualy quite and easy to remove them or change often in the washroom at work without anyone knowing or hearing you rip tapes off. if you need a heavy diaper well then this is diffrent !!! i needed heavy diapers for my job when i wore them i was a iornworker way up high on the beams and yes it was hard to just come down when the washrom was needed to change myself!!!! i used a diaper t-shirt to cover up any peeking of my diaper when bending over and this helped alot !!! so if you need a heavy diaper, well the best kind even though they are kinda loud at times is a good dissposable that can last a long time for the day!!! Yes they will add some bulk to your butt area, however you only need to change once or twice a day at work wnd the less you change the better your chances of not getting caught!!! buy a onsie also known as a diaper-t-shirt and get a good quality kind, better purchase a few for the work week, and good daytime diapers to use also!!!! My suggestion is molicare or attends or tena brand they seemed to hold alot and made it easier to change less often!!! Well i hope you get better over time and good luck with work and your not getting caught!!! i know you may be worried but really its not as bad as you think it is!!! its seems everyone knows your in them , but in reality nobody really does , funny how your mind will make you more scared then the actual thing itself sometimes

I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis about 3 years ago. It is nasty when it flairs up, that's for sure. I take a medication called asacol and that helps alot. When the flair ups happen, the only thing to do is stay home or wear a diaper. I choose the second. Good luck.

Thanks for the support guys. But today was a bad day. I had the worst case of watery mess I guess you could say and I had to leave work and come home to shower and change my clothes. This fucking sucks. I really don't want to have to diaper myself during the day. I'm a stockbroker and the boardroom is a very macho place. Which is no place to show any type of weakness. I'll figure out something and thanks again guys.

Yes i have colitis iv had it 21 years now and on bad days had to ware diaper the works nurse new about the problem and kept some spare ones for me. rest didnt now kept it quit ware lose clothing so douse not show the only one who new was nurse as she had to do home visit if you were off from work any length of time over 6weeks

This marks my 20th year dealing with a type of colitis. The incontinence problems started in college in 1992. I remember soiling myself in class, in the middle of campus, and having an accidents in bed and trying to wash my sheets in secret.

I did not give in to diapers during the day until 1997 or so, but it was a very smart move for my skin, sanity, and clothing.

It does get better. Are you on any medication yet? If so, what (if you don't mind me asking).

Have you considered joining one of the IBD sites? They have a lot more experience with this.

I suggest the Abena pullups. Nobody knows I wear them.

UC has it's own set of managements apart from the protective methods one finds most suited to their overall needs&situations. Working CLOSELY with medical caregivers can often give remarkable degrees of symptom relief. Learning and managing what causes "Flares: is an essential part of living with these conditions.

There's a set of evaluations as to what's more discomforting- the horrors of a visible mess or the lesser emotional twinges of a "maybe" they see some hint we're wearing "Something" not ordinary. Women who choose to use external protection or are unable to use internal sanitary items have developed MANY ways to be protected yet not as visible/uncomfortable from and about it. Do your own internet research in places wider ranging than kink sites:>

Having women you are comfortable talking with this about can also be a resource of information beyond price.

Lots of us have needs for mess protection and it's coming out into the open more as we live longer. Look at the various kinds of "Washable Incontinent Underwear" but do price comparison shopping and READ the reviews plus leave reviews of your own... they make washable menstrual pads in sizes from thin liners for those of us with annoying slime marks- on up to Postpartum PAds that may handle some really large wet messes.

Nope- such pads won't handle a full bowel void of even liquid alone for long- but they MIGHT gain us long enough to get to a safe toilet and turn an otherwise end-of day mess back into a pad change/some washcloth cleanups.
