Tom’s Personal Story

Tom’s Personal Story: “My stress level regarding incontinence evaporated”

Lifelong nightly bed wetter that had to stay in pin on cloth diapers with plastic pants. Also had noisy plastic mattress cover under my sheets to catch leaks that happened 2-3 nights a week. Also struggled with daytime leaking issues and had to rush I bathrooms 15+ times a day with already damp pants. Wore thick “training pants” underwear with plastic pants under my pants to try and keep my pants dry. I always had a back p pair of pants at school when leaks would happen. When ai entered high school I was allowed to choose to stop wearing my nighttime diapers. This was a disaster as I woke up middle of the night, every night in a flood of pee. Would lay bath towels over it, go back to sleep and soak myself again. After a month or so of this I chose to go back to diapers. Not until I was almost 30 did I find a wise urologist that did a urodynamic study to discover I had a neurogenic bladder, probably since birth, that explained it all. Went to 24/7 diapers after that, quality disposables during the day and cloth at night. My stress level regarding incontinence evaporated. Now it’s nothing more than a minor issue. Very thankful wetness never causes any skin irritation or rashes.
