Doctor says I am Incontinent - diapers 24/7 - QUESTION ABOUT BL

I finally went to the urologist and was told I have urge and oab incontinence. I wont do the drugs or surgery. He said that well you can kegel exercise and other thing to try and help like going every two hours. I now plan on dealing with this with diapers 24/7. I got samples of good ones from DME.

My question is about plastic bloomers. I am trying to find ways to totally be secure at work. I do not want to change and am going to be trying secure x-plus, bambino bianco, and tena slip maxi this next week. I am a 38-40 waist and have large in those - would medium be better to insure no leaking. I do wear plastic pants (got them from a drug store - think they are salt brand or something like that. But still worry about leaks at night and esp at work.

Would plastic bloomers work and truly prevent any leaks?

If you are wearing a high-quality, high-capacity diaper, IMHO you don't need plastic pants. I have urge incon and am diapered 24/7/365. I've been in diapers 24/7 for approximately 30 years now. For the past three or four years, I've been wearing the plastic-backed Abena M4s (used to be called X-Plus). Over the diaper, I wear snug cloth underwear to keep the diaper from sagging when it gets wet. I haven't worn any kind of plastic pants for about 10 years. They are not necessary if you have the right diaper.

Thanks for the information Nick Lynn. It has been difficult to take all this in since I was told. I did tell my mate and she was totally understanding. I was so glad about that.

The learning curve in figuring out what works and what to wear on what occasion is also a large learning curve. I ordered a sample of each of the products that Bambino Diapers sells. Yes I now they are an ABDL type producer of diapers but I got information about the high quality and large absorbing rate of there diapers and figured might as well try them. I will say it is so damn important to get the right size diaper. If you get ones that are to large they leak around the legs. I am still learning.

I am thinking about trying cloth diapers. The disposable ones do have lots of issues with the material clumping all together when they get really wet, uncomfortable to sit or sleep in.

Has anyone tried cloth? I would want to find ones that are really great at absorbing. The bulk I am totally not concerned about. The main thing is for me not to have to change for 8 hours when at work. Is that possible with cloth diapers and plastic pants or plastic or rubber bloomers?

Although some folks swear by cloth diapers, I find that they do absorb quickly but leave me feeling wet and tend to cause more rash than disposables. (you could use a liner, but at that point it might as well be disposables but at a lower cost.) You may be better with a midday change whatever you choose. Good luck with it all.
