Functional incontinence

Anyone ever heard of this called Functional incontinence. From Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_incontinence

I did not know about it, ore the reasons i did but not the name

Both my mother had this they couldn't get to the bathroom in old age so just used to wet themselves.

Should have said mother and granmother

I actually had it once as a teen, but it went away about 4 days later

I love this concept. I wear an external catheter and leg bag almost 24/7, as a fetish, I admit. However there are several times in the day I'm glad I don't have to look for a toilet. If I'm caught in traffic in the car, I just pee into the external catheter.

I actually think that Functional incontinence is common as you get older and older. The other could be that some may have problems with using the bathroom and figure being diapered is one way they solve their Functional incontinence issue.

Seems functional incontinence is the same as urge incontinence, which I have. If I feel the first stirrings, I have to get to the toilet ASAP or my pee starts coming out. I wear women's incontinence panties when I go out-less bulky than diapers and more erotic to me.???

Yes,i have urge incontinence,when I feel the need I have to get to the toilet or else I will be wet.i also have diabetic neropathy with hight blood pressure.my doctors prescribe meds which contain diuretics and one pill is a straight diuretic of itself.so I wear diapers nightly and away from home for long periods like to movies etc.i have had numerious pants wetting accidents without them.

I am not incontinent and can maintain good control when not wearing diapers. But when well diapered and with plastic pants on I seemed to have lost control of bladder or bowel. In fact there is almost a compulsion to wet and mess and I don's seem able to control it. This can happen even when it might be inconvenient. It's just a strong desire, almost like an obligation. Not that I'm complaining...

I believe I'm functionally incontinent. Consulting with medical professionals hasn't shown any physical cause for my incontinence and I've been interested in detraining all my life.

For me, though, it doesn't make much difference. As much as my incontinence might be a subconscious self-deception, it might as well be real for the effect it has on me, and I haven't had any luck shaking it thus far.

My mother had this as a result of her Parkinson’s. She just couldn’t get to the bathroom in time. Or she would get to the door and had what is called sticky foot. She couldn’t get over the threshold. Finally, she came to me and asked about diapers.

To an extent I have functional incontinence. I have dribbling and sometimes true urge incontinence (as soon as I feel it I am going). Sometimes though, I feel like I could make it or the stream is delayed a minute or too but, due to my condition I cannot move well enough or fast enough to make it in time or get my clothes off.

Fred mentions that when he is diapered he seems to lose control. Someone else brought this up on here. Is it possible that wearing diapers actually causes loss of control or is it psychological? Has it to do with the bulk and pressure ? If so, does it affect women the same way? I believe Fred is a doctor. Maybe he, or another scientific member, can answer and tell us why or why not. I've worn a lot recently but don't really notice any change.

Functional incontinence is the inability to reach a bathroom in time or may or not remembering how to get to the bathroom. There for you wet your pants or diapers. The other types discussed below are, urge, stress and mixed incontinence.

For me functional incontinence has another facet. When I'm wearing I can hold my bladder and tough out the urge for a while. but when the urge becomes too uncomfortable I let go just a bit and the inevitable happens. As soon as I do I can hold it again for a little while. Sort of a step down kind of thing. A little wet spot will save a full out wetting. The process of partially relaxing gradually makes my diaper get wetter and wetter. So, seeing I can hold it for a while, I guess you could say I'm functionally incontinent. Even though the issues are over active bladder and urge problems. ....???
